Protecting your lungs is VERY IMPORTANT! In 1984 I painted a caprice with a catilized acrylic paint. I had a good respirator but one of the cartridges was defective. I ended up in the hospital that night and almost died. ( not fun at all) And ever since I suffer with asthma. If I'm around perfumes, hair spray etc i will be reaching for an inhaler. If I'm ever around acrylic paints, even for 5 seconds, I will be in the hospital within 5 hours. BELIEVE PETE WHEN HE SAYS " USE A GOOD RESPIRATOR "! IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO USE GOOD ADVICE!
Great comprehensive video. You’re a true professional. Looks like I may be spending more money in the end than just taking it to the dealer, but I will have some new toys 😂
Thanks Pete!! Very informative and assuring video. I’m getting ready for my first paint job. And definitely feeling more confident in doing it my self!
@@PetesGarage I’m gonna be painting used parts that are black with green. It’s for Silverado. Do you have any additional steps or guides you would give in addition to this video?
Thanks for the great video Pete. A small tip that was taught to me, is to use Prepsol to clean the panel before Scotchbrite, then Prepsol it again. This helps to reduce the chance of rubbing contaminants into the surface with the Scotchbrite. Also, how is the Cobra coming along?
Great video I have a new fender with the black primer that will be painted victory red urethane base. Can I paint over the black primer or should I prime seal it first?I'm not looking for a show car finish,just need a red fender. Thanks
So I bought a licence plate trunk cover part from eBay. My car is black, but the part came in a finished gray topped with clear coat. I want to paint it black. What I want to know is do I have to sand it down, prime it, and then paint it? Or can I paint over the clear coat
Pete another good one what can I say. I noticed with the color coat 1st coat you went in a horizontal spray pattern and the 2nd coat more of a vertical spray pattern. Was that just for coverage or it doesn’t matter? Just get good coverage. Thanks for mentioning orange peel. Everyone says oh there is orange peel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊😊😊🇺🇸
Outstanding summary, Pete. I didn't see any buffing afterward, do you buff in the orange peel later to make it match a little better? And you mentioned a sealer at the beginning, I guess that means you don't need a primer if it is already painted first? If you prime it yourself, do you still reach for a sealer coat?
Thanks my friend. If there is a huge difference I will blend with a buff. This one is pretty close though. The fender came primed, I just use the sealer to make sure.
Looking through the comments you really do reply to everyone, that's pretty cool! I've been looking on OfferUp for some spray guns, some pretty decent deals. I have no prior experience but I am going to be painting my front bumper on my civic and a spoiler, both are new and already primed. I'm also planning on touching up the fender and fixing the trunk due to a rather large dent, about 3-4 inches with paint damage. What would your advice be? Around how much paint should I buy and are there any steps that may not have been mentioned here in this vid that might be helpful in my case? I'm a new subscriber so I will definitely be looking around for more of your videos and I do plan on going to a few shops and talking to them as well like you recommended but would love to have some of your input as well. Thanks for your help!!
I tried to include every step, following the mixing instructions on the can or ask the paint retailer. You can get a good gun for around $130 that will last a lifetime if you take care of it. You can do it
Good Vid Pete. Wow, Nason has been around for a long time. I used that over 30 years ago. It was at the time a very say, inexpensive paint. Would you put that on the Cobra? :)
Great video Pete! I want to repaint my mustang, I did some serious bodywork on the quarter panel, fender, and radiator support. I am doing an all over color change, should I scuff the clear coat or should I just put a sealer and paint over the top?

Great comprehensive video. You’re a true professional. Looks like I may be spending more money in the end than just taking it to the dealer, but I will have some new toys 😂

You can do it

Green goes well over black

Great tip! I'm taking the Cobra apart to start the bodywork
Oh, also, when Pete says " you could make a little extra money" that's a good thing too!
Every little bit helps
Another great video, edited extremely well. Keep up the good work my friend.

You have to sand it first

When you say sealer is that like an epoxy primer? Can you put the base coat on a epoxy primer
Sealer is a 1 part material, epoxy is a 2 part. Yes, it can go over epoxy
You're awesome.
You rock!
Thanks for the info
You bet
At LAST, he has done it.
What I do?
Nice vid Pete. Can I use a small clip in a tutorial? Will give credit.
Yeah sure!
So u don't have to sand after each spray just keep spraying on top of every coat ?
No
@@PetesGarage no what ?
