Tony Pete here again. Dude you’re really a solid Dude. I have always dabbled in painting but past year and half now have decided to Get it dialed in as I’m doing my 65 Econoline for my detail business. I have been a mechanic at Ford in the past then Service manager and I like to hear about you catching the Dude at Paint store and helping him out. Thats how I at The end of dealing with dealership service, I was never the type to rope in customers who don’t know any better and even had my personal cell in my cards to help anytime. Anyways man, I appreciate you and people like us who just shoot straight and treat people like we should all treat one another. I use to hold back in front of Part reps and what not but finally had enough of the BS and would call them out. Of course we all have preferences to what we use but there is so much stuff being sold when one is exactly the same. Anyways, Cheers man and God Bless Lol typing while watching video. Love how you ask your wife or significant other. What are cheap bags lol. Love it
You've earned a PHD in this field Tony, congratulations 🎉👏 u beast. Jus saw this video it's old but soo reliant to me, right on time. Keep up the great work, Jamaica in the house
Never painted in my life but want to start and ive been checking out your videos and WOWWWW! You explain EVERYTHING just the way I want! I over analyze everything but faaakk! After watching this video and other videos of yours, my questions were answered! Keep doing what you do bro!
Thank you, I have been learning basic auot body and by far your videos are the best. You have not forgotten about the little things many other forget to mention. Grit size, primers, sealers, feathering, temps, ect
You will be going through the whole prepping process. I would put some new black base on it and 2 - 3 layers of clear coat. We talk more about this at the site: learnautobodyandpaint(.com) check the site out for a load of more information including free manuals and video training. Go Now!
Man it's 2019 and this was submitted in 2011 and I'm barely going to this website. A big gracias to you homie. God's gonna bless you for this and I'm sure He has already.
I really appreciate your enthusiasm - clearly you enjoy what you do! Nice way of explaining things. I'm just looking for info on how to properly cover different levels of scratches on my car and came across your videos, but I watched anyway and learned a couple things! The references to women's handbags and nail polish made me smile. Good job :)
@jeremihraiden You can paint right over that silver, Did you get our free painting guide over on our site??? check it out at: learnautobodyandpaint(.)com bro.
i been watching allot of videos showing beginners how to start their paint project for the first time. But found that you are the simplest and the easiest to show that. and my question is it possible to add the clear coat directly to the base coat and spray it together like what we have in aerosol cans? thank you from Sweden.
It doesn't need clear coat, but you can lay it if you want extra protection. Yes you can lay primer if you did body work or had metal areas showing... WHat do you mean what do I recommend? Learn more about auto body and paint at: Learnautobodyandpaint(.com) see you there!
I know right i think he maybe thought i would let him paint my ride. I cant wait to see him. I will tell him to check your site out. Thanks man my project is coming along great thanks to you. You really be a big help.
Very informative. I am impressed with both your knowledge, as well as your ability to clearly share the information in an understandable manner. Thanks again.
Hi Tony I'm over the pond in the UK and just struggling a bit with the jargon over there. When you talk about basecoat clearcoat is it just a coloured coat and not a " Clearcoat " just starting to get into spraying so not used to the jargon like I said?. Cheers and keep the vids coming. Mick
Hi Tony been watching your vids now for a long time. I'm restoring a mk1 escort and I've just competed the rocker box air filter and brake servo unit, and they have come out fantastic. This the first time I've used 2k paint and without watching your videos I would have no idea. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and experience. Pat from UK
great video I need to paint my 1967 Camaro but I have no idea what kind of paint I need or what I need to add to a basecoat but your video gave me a headstart I really do need help....
I have not. But I am sure if you follow the mixing chart you'll be fine. If you want more info and steps to paint a car just check out: learnautobodyandpaint(.)com
Thank you for the training it was very helpful, I'm in that process rightnow of picking up the paint for my daughter's car I'm a first timer and it can be stressful if you don't know what to do. I'll be watching more of your videos, thank you for the information. God Bless you!!!
nice vid i have a question if im going to paint my whole truck do i have to prime the whole truck or can i just prime where i do bodywork and scuff the rest and paint over scuffed old paint? and what color pearl would look good on black
very useful info man!!very good video,question here !!about sealer,i'm painting a friend's truck ,but it has a fender with primer and the rest we just scuffed sanded the paint,so do we need a sealer??.
Nice info! If I have a panel with some rust on it and I sand the panel down to the point where there is no rust or paint left. Should I use etch primer before I apply filler?
I have watched a lot of your videos and you've helped out for men to sleep but now I'm in to painting a Kenworth truck that was originally painted with imron and now I'm not sure what to paint it with either a single stage or a base coat clear coat I don't know which would be more durable
What do I need to paint my car? I am planning to buy House of Kolor paint on a 1994 GMC Safari (Kandy Blue). Do I need to place a primer, basecoat (what color you recommend?), and then the paint?
thanks for the details brother, will acrylic enamel stick on wood? what sealer would you recommend? Lots of drum manufacturers use automotive products but dont have any videos for obvious reasons thanks man hope you reply
hey i just want to do a really cheap paint job on my truck , so i thought about using a tractor implement paint because it would be so much cheaper would u recommend this or no?
Hi Tony im new to your site and loving it. Question i have is, what is the flash off time spraying black metalic base coat, and clear coat flash times. Many Thanks Conrad.
Say Tony I really appreciate you submitting this as I teach myself before getting into auto body customization this is great, and making my day productive as I wait to clock in at this job that I'm at solely to get by till I join the apprenticeship program at service king where I will lay my foundation of experience then work my way into becoming an independent auto body customizer preferably at my own location at home. from Mike in SAN ANTONIO * TX

Hey great video thanks alot,got a question for yah,so the single stage enamal paint doesnt need clear coat? But it still needs primer right? Thanks just learing how to paint properly,What would u recommend for a motorcycle tank? Black, i appreciate any advice ,Thanks
@Milwaukeerr Actually I have FREE videos like this over at learnautobodyandpaint(dot)com... you'll see a pop up window with an offer to get these videos. Enjoy!
hey when you use pearls in the clear coat do you put 1 coat and color sand or do you put 1 coat with pearls and 1 coat with out it then color sand?? I'm lost.. lol
Very informative, I knew how to paint but never done a pearl job. Doing a Ford SUV in G2ccode Redfire metallic and added just a little silver pearl. With your video and a butt load of work it came out awesome. Thanks for taking your time and sharing your knowledge.
Hi Tony, great explanation. I need your help. I bought single stage acrylic urethane and I have heard I can clear coat it to mane it more durable. How long should I wait after applying the single stage to start with the clear coar. Thank you
Hi, I am first time doing spray painting for a small project. I am frustrated with the clear coat. It always comes up sticky. Be it 2 part clear to 1 part hardener as according to the instruction. or 3 to 1, 4 to 1. Was there anything I missed out or done wrongly? Can the left over clear mixed with hardener be kept for next using? Thank you. beginner
Hey man, I have a question and I'm sorry if it has already been answered... Do you mix in hardener with the base coat along with the reducer? Is that the 50/50 mix you were talking about? Thanks in advance, Rick
Hi Tony this is George. I want to know if the clear coat need to add reducer and hardener? I got confused .or only hardener?please let me know please so i can get best results. Thanks and have a nice day.
newbie here. Nice video very imformative. You mention that you cant tell the deffirence if you sand and buff clear coat, Ive watch other videos in you tube they never mention that they have to san and buff clear coat. But anyway I like you video more. Thank you very much for it.
Thanks, Leandro! Don't forget to grab your FREE 85-Page Auto Body And Paint Manual if you still haven't: learnautobodyandpaint.com/free-autobody-manual
Tony, good videos. I have a '95 Honda Accord which has what people tell me the clear coat failing. Does this mean that my Honda had a base coat then clear coat system? Being 22 years old it would be older than what you mentioned in your video on when they started painting this way. Just wondering. thanks
Hi tony, I had a question i have an aftermarket hood that i sanded down to bare metal & painted it with a Transtar brand 2K Epoxy primer/sealer. I remember you saying to epoxy prime bare metal 1st. My question is, i wanted to spray a Dupont 2K urethane primer for a filler, can i sand the epoxy primer & if so what grit sand paper should i use? to spray the urethane primer over the epoxy. Hope my question is not confusing.
First and foremost I owe you a tremendous amount of gratitude for sharing your professional knowledge which helped me accomplish a phenomenal paint job on a vehicle. Took me 3 weeks to complete but that is because i didnt take short cuts and followed all your great advice. So thanks brotha for holding it down .I wanted to ask you if its safe to mix sherwin williams clear coat (fc740) with klean strip Japan drier . I accidently spilled the hardener that came with the gallon of clear. Greatly appreciate you thoughts ...
hey great vids im going to paint my 1994 prelude soon . this is going to be my first paint job so what do i need to start witm my car ....im going to use aviator grey for my car also car has some dents what vondo or what i need for tha... hope u can help me here
when you mix base do you use harder or just reducer. I just would like to know because a paint tech was trying to tell me that you can do that. I dont think so thats why I need a second opion.
You did a great job of explaining the process and types of paints, Thanks I will subscribe. Years ago I painted a 1982 Corvette with spyshecker a German paint (spelling error likely on the paint) Paint job came out great I finished it with clear coat and buffed with pink stuff it was really really good, color was silver blue
To answer your other question plainly in general no that's not even in the range of Ideal painting temperatures can it be achieved with chemical reactions and can it be done yes, is it ideal absolutely not. But if that's what you have to work with than then you can work with it your best bet and a secret that I don't think the original poster of this video mention and I haven't mentioned it either that's a great secret to know about is whenever you buy paint at a automotive place always ask for the data sheets which a lot of times you won't get unless you ask for them and they're free and they're a great resource for things like ideal temperatures or how to adjust for certain temperatures also things like pot life which is basically just once you mix a catalyst with a paint how long it will last before it's just not usable which is usually once mixed not very long for automotive paints. I like to always before I leave just say thank you do you have any data sheets you think that might be helpful as well as any sticks and strainers available please.
hey tony im gonna paint my car soon and i wanted to kno if u have tried kemfx and urekem brand cause im thinking about getting the kit base and clear coat.
hi master tony, thank you for everything you do you are a great teacher, i would like to know the pressure in the spray gun when i want to paint the color or even when to apply the clearcoat, some say 25psi or 30psi or 28psi and i don't know if the pressure changes PSI when to change the material. thank you (my name is Emad, I live in Italy

Hey boy I am a new in your chanel,but I understand wat are you explained, I will give you a 1000000 points,thanks for your great video ,God bless you my friend,
Hey boss i've got a situation. Not trying to blast a brand but the situation is what it is. I was going to color match a part for a car. The Situation is: I decided to roll with Shop-line JB1 base in Sonic Blue and end result was a great looking piece. Problem is it wasn't even close(not even the same area code) to the factory color. In your experience should i have stepped up to JBP or would it matter being1 was so far off. If there is that much difference between the 2 how do we know to switch
Hey Tony, am thinking about painting my car. It's a light bluish/grey and thinking about painting it gunmetal grey. I have a couple scratches and dings am thinking about sanding them and maybe filling. idk what type grit though. Also for the rest of the car where the paint is ok do i sand it and prime it or paint over it? and what grit if so? I heard you mention you can apply clear coat after primer, and then after your base.. is that correct?
Nice video bro! Only had one question though, I own a 06 STS-V & GM decide you only get 3 color choices for it so mine is silver I want it white so do you think painting over the silver with the white or with a primer first then white work or would it be best If i eliminate the factory paint all together down to the metal!? Thanks in adavance!
that all depends on the climate, air pressure and prep work... we all have been down that road before.. I painted a truck once that was as flat as glass... wetsanding would have been insane to do on that job, but I have had jobs with some bad orange peel.. that wetsanding fixed.. I dont have a professional paint booth though so that is where my variable comes from.. unless you have a really good booth, climate control and exhaust.. it is hard to get a factory flat spray job sometimes
Ok tony, im listening and my heads spinning. I have an old jeep ,it dosent need to be perfect because its just towed behind our rv. I'm in the process of painting the old metal top I have just put 2 coats of primer using the rustoleum rust primer , the top had some very light surface rust and I sanded over it but did not remove it. Now am I ok to paint it, I just bought a paint gun at lowes . I'm not sure what to do next.??
You could probably put a single stage paint on that no problem. But make sure you send it flat and you have no orange peel. You should download my free auto body guide at learnautobodyandpaint.com
I want to make my black truck look glossy. It doesnt have to be perfect but can I just sand it to the point where the crear coat is off and then just apply crear coat again? It might not look black black but I just want it to be shiny.... Or do I have to add primer first and then clear coat it.
Nice clear and concise video, stuff makes a bit more sense to me now, am only a hobby painting newbie but am hoping to learn enough to make some money on the side.
I'm an auto body collision repair student trying to restore and customize my 99 Eclipse myself and I appreciate these learning videos

newbie here. Nice video very imformative. You mention that you cant tell the deffirence if you sand and buff clear coat, Ive watch other videos in you tube they never mention that they have to san and buff clear coat. But anyway I like you video more. Thank you very much for it.
I've seen many, many of your videos and this is by far one of the best, thank you.

urethane and enamel paints witch one is better what are the benefits.
Tony, good videos. I have a '95 Honda Accord which has what people tell me the clear coat failing. Does this mean that my Honda had a base coat then clear coat system? Being 22 years old it would be older than what you mentioned in your video on when they started painting this way. Just wondering. thanks
Hey bud when you say 4 and one is it in cup size mixer ?
Hi tony, I had a question i have an aftermarket hood that i sanded down to bare metal & painted it with a Transtar brand 2K Epoxy primer/sealer. I remember you saying to epoxy prime bare metal 1st. My question is, i wanted to spray a Dupont 2K urethane primer for a filler, can i sand the epoxy primer & if so what grit sand paper should i use? to spray the urethane primer over the epoxy. Hope my question is not confusing.
Great Video I learn alot. This is a aria that had my head spinning. Thanks Tony

First and foremost I owe you a tremendous amount of gratitude for sharing your professional knowledge which helped me accomplish a phenomenal paint job on a vehicle. Took me 3 weeks to complete but that is because i didnt take short cuts and followed all your great advice. So thanks brotha for holding it down .I wanted to ask you if its safe to mix sherwin williams clear coat (fc740) with klean strip Japan drier . I accidently spilled the hardener that came with the gallon of clear. Greatly appreciate you thoughts ...
hey great vids im going to paint my 1994 prelude soon . this is going to be my first paint job so what do i need to start witm my car ....im going to use aviator grey for my car also car has some dents what vondo or what i need for tha... hope u can help me here
when you mix base do you use harder or just reducer. I just would like to know because a paint tech was trying to tell me that you can do that. I dont think so thats why I need a second opion.
Shop line is great.
You did a great job of explaining the process and types of paints, Thanks I will subscribe. Years ago I painted a 1982 Corvette with spyshecker a German paint (spelling error likely on the paint) Paint job came out great I finished it with clear coat and buffed with pink stuff it was really really good, color was silver blue

Do u have to wet sand and buff at the end with the single stage paint?.. New to this. An is it a good idea to paint in the cold 45F?
To answer your other question plainly in general no that's not even in the range of Ideal painting temperatures can it be achieved with chemical reactions and can it be done yes, is it ideal absolutely not. But if that's what you have to work with than then you can work with it your best bet and a secret that I don't think the original poster of this video mention and I haven't mentioned it either that's a great secret to know about is whenever you buy paint at a automotive place always ask for the data sheets which a lot of times you won't get unless you ask for them and they're free and they're a great resource for things like ideal temperatures or how to adjust for certain temperatures also things like pot life which is basically just once you mix a catalyst with a paint how long it will last before it's just not usable which is usually once mixed not very long for automotive paints. I like to always before I leave just say thank you do you have any data sheets you think that might be helpful as well as any sticks and strainers available please.
hey tony im gonna paint my car soon and i wanted to kno if u have tried kemfx and urekem brand cause im thinking about getting the kit base and clear coat.
hi master tony, thank you for everything you do you are a great teacher, i would like to know the pressure in the spray gun when i want to paint the color or even when to apply the clearcoat, some say 25psi or 30psi or 28psi and i don't know if the pressure changes PSI when to change the material. thank you (my name is Emad, I live in Italy

Hey boss i've got a situation. Not trying to blast a brand but the situation is what it is. I was going to color match a part for a car. The Situation is: I decided to roll with Shop-line JB1 base in Sonic Blue and end result was a great looking piece. Problem is it wasn't even close(not even the same area code) to the factory color. In your experience should i have stepped up to JBP or would it matter being1 was so far off. If there is that much difference between the 2 how do we know to switch
Hey Tony, am thinking about painting my car. It's a light bluish/grey and thinking about painting it gunmetal grey. I have a couple scratches and dings am thinking about sanding them and maybe filling. idk what type grit though. Also for the rest of the car where the paint is ok do i sand it and prime it or paint over it? and what grit if so? I heard you mention you can apply clear coat after primer, and then after your base.. is that correct?
Nice video bro! Only had one question though, I own a 06 STS-V & GM decide you only get 3 color choices for it so mine is silver I want it white so do you think painting over the silver with the white or with a primer first then white work or would it be best If i eliminate the factory paint all together down to the metal!? Thanks in adavance!
Nice I'm a beginner how much is the cheap paint I have a 1985 oldsmobile how much paint I'm going to need
that all depends on the climate, air pressure and prep work... we all have been down that road before.. I painted a truck once that was as flat as glass... wetsanding would have been insane to do on that job, but I have had jobs with some bad orange peel.. that wetsanding fixed.. I dont have a professional paint booth though so that is where my variable comes from.. unless you have a really good booth, climate control and exhaust.. it is hard to get a factory flat spray job sometimes
Thanks for your videos n your channel. getting ready to paint this car i brought back from the dead.
+MiG Ren E' Awesome man!
Ok tony, im listening and my heads spinning. I have an old jeep ,it dosent need to be perfect because its just towed behind our rv. I'm in the process of painting the old metal top I have just put 2 coats of primer using the rustoleum rust primer , the top had some very light surface rust and I sanded over it but did not remove it. Now am I ok to paint it, I just bought a paint gun at lowes . I'm not sure what to do next.??
You could probably put a single stage paint on that no problem. But make sure you send it flat and you have no orange peel. You should download my free auto body guide at learnautobodyandpaint.com
I want to make my black truck look glossy. It doesnt have to be perfect but can I just sand it to the point where the crear coat is off and then just apply crear coat again? It might not look black black but I just want it to be shiny.... Or do I have to add primer first and then clear coat it.
You can. it depends on what clear you are using.
Nice clear and concise video, stuff makes a bit more sense to me now, am only a hobby painting newbie but am hoping to learn enough to make some money on the side.
