    Teaching is a science and you my friend, have it down to a tee. I am a hardcore diagnostician. Done everything from electrical, mechanical, engine swaps, AC you name it. I purchased a vehicle from an auction and did everything else but the bodywork. I was a bit antsy until I watched your video. Thanks and Happy 4th!!!

    Very good, simple to follow, and informational. I bought 3 paint products (base paint, pearl paint and some medium reducer) to paint a small area on my wife's SUV. The paint vendor was very vague about what to mix and how much. You video made it all very easy to understand, and why the ratio are what they are. Thank you very much!

    awesome video thaanks , i have a question tho about primers if im having a bare metal piece i need to use epoxy primer or self etching primer , and put over them 2k primer ? and how a bout a non bare metal piece what should i use before base coat ? thanks again

    • @Mechaniclyfe
      @Mechaniclyfe  3 года назад

      Depending , you can use either epoxy or self etch to bare metal. With some epoxy primers you can go straight to Basecoat, but there is a window to be able to do that, after that window it must be sanded Before applying Basecoat. High build primer can be used for Body panels that had body work done. If the panel is nice and flat with no dents, you could even use a sealer before applying Basecoat or sand and apply Basecoat right on top of the original paint as long as the paint wasn’t peeling .again depends on surface and body work needed.

  • @jbd579
    @jbd579 3 года назад +2

    15+ years ago I used to do on site auto body. Was mostly bumpers for dealerships so used cars looked less banged up for sales. We would custom mix the paint for each vehicle by looking up the paint code and entering it into an app on a blackberry. The app would give us all the mix ratios for each paint and metal flake by weight starting with the most used in production and then other mixes that were used during that year. I had made an entire rack to separate out the colors and flakes by their number. Does anyone know what the app was or one like that? I have been curious about doing some custom stuff in my spare time since I miss doing it but not enough for a full-time job

      @@Mechaniclyfe well that's a start! Thank you! I am sure that everything out there will be company specific so that you stick with their mixes. Though through time I am sure you could custom mix as you like. But to match an existing it would probably be best to follow that companies recipe

    • @Mechaniclyfe
      @Mechaniclyfe  3 года назад +1

      Single stage is all in one paint including gloss , opposed to Clearcoat and BASECOAT where it’s a two step process , hope that clears any confusion.

    • @Mechaniclyfe
      @Mechaniclyfe  2 года назад

      Single stage is an all in one process essentially it’s like base and clearcoat sprayed at the same time
