- today on overspray , how to paint a hood, not exactly step by step but i show you my process on how to get it done. Part one consists of prepping and priming the hood along with small tips along the way.
I just love watching ur vids cuz alot of us cant afford a paint booth and u bring us to reality of painting in a garage. Thank u for that very much appreciated.
You are very welcomed , appreciate the support 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nicely done brother looking good

Yeah works very well too
Nice job brotha can’t wait till the next one!
Thanks brother 🙏🏻
I went through almost the exact same issue as you. Am re-sanding again. Can you please elaborate about “waterborne base primer”? Why that kind over what I may get from the professional paint manufacturer? My final paint is a pewter metallic to match my 1999 Silverado. I am doing the hood. I had the tiger stripes just like you the first time, and it came though the final coat, which is why I am redoing it all again.
Well this waterborne primer minimizes reactions with spray can products , many times if you spray a solvent based product on top of a 1k spray can primer or sealer it has the chance of frying up . That’s why I used that primer but you could use what you like of course. Also to address your tiger stripes have a tighter over lap and make sure you have a wet edge thru and thru , on your last coat lower your pressure and increase distance and apply what’s called a control coat, basically this control coat will allow the Metallica to lay in a more uniform fashion and can minimize metallic muttle. The control coat does not need to be a wet coat.
Good video! Two important questions...what brand and type of tack cloths do you use? What's your wall Calendar?
Haha Gerson tack cloths from oreillys or harbor freight , and calendar is a old Monster energy drink calendar 🗓
What size and cfn is your compressor I can see it but look very small? And all ways look forward to all your video thank you
Thank you , I just use a small 30 gallon air compressor , about 6 cfm or so works decent for painting parts or motorcycles
Ok and what cfm Is your spray gun ?
i have a 20g air compessor was thinking on buying that same gun you used for primer but for base and clear or should i get the hvlp at most i will paint 3 parts
The hte spectrum is really good I would recommend it
@@Mechaniclyfe ok I’ll be picking it up tomorrow also paint from napa need to paint a hood and upper Radiator support but have the old hood I’ll do a few test spays on even though I bought a cheaper spray gun but different come out so good and broke
Thank you💖
What about if you have to take the e coat all off the hood what would recommend using to reseal it?
Epoxy primer
@@Mechaniclyfe ok would Eastwood 2K Apoxsee primer, aerosol cans, and Eastwood 2K high build urethane primer before painting basecoat. Would that work?
Yes, but first let me ask is there any body work that needs to be done still? Or is it good
@@Mechaniclyfe the panels are brand new they are aftermarket, so I’m kind of worried about the pre-primed panels, and was thinking about taking it down to bare metal to seal them, and make sure that is anticorrosion protection on them
I see well you can also epoxy seal them then follow it up with base and clear
Good job bro. I’ve been meaning to ask and noticed it in this vid. Pretty sure u just have a 30gal compressor probably 7cfm max. The most of the big guns u use, require more CFM than that. So, do u notice ur guns struggling? Sounded like the compressor was running constant. It looks like at the end of the primer, the gun was starving for air, not struggling with the paint/primer viscosity.
Exactly right , 30 gal I cant remember the cfm off hand I think it’s close to 6, I struggle mostly with hvlp guns they just require so much more air then some of the others hte and others not so much, but the compressor does kick on quite often.
Overspray Right on man. I’m in the small compressor club too. I’ve been researching all the low CFM guns out there and that is what I have to resort to purchasing for now. The ANI brand gunZ all seem to use 7.77cfm or less. I will be doing reviews and demos on low CFM guns on my channel for all of us small compressor guys as I acquire new ones.
Haha awesome , I’m actually thinking modifying mine by adding another tank to it
@@Mechaniclyfe LOL, I'll be doing that soon myself. Adding my old 15gal as an auxiliary tank.
yeah, id rather spend the 400.00 they quoted me to have my local collison shop paint the hood. after i spend my time buying all the tools and needed paints and primers. id be close to 200.00-300.00 in price...plus my time and then sanding and cleaning and primer and sanding and cleaning, then painting and cleaning, and clear....well worth the 400 to have the proffesionals do it imo. lol but thank you for showing me how much work is involved and that im 100% not intrested in doing it my self.
Def not worth it if you don’t already have the tools needed
1K PRIMER=CHEAP JOB! 2K PRIMER=QUALITY LONG LAST WORKMENSHIP...FAILURE TO SAND EDGES=FUTURE PAINT REPAIRS..FAILURE TO TAKE OFF GLOVES AND HAND FEEL THE AREA=POOR WORKMENSHIP AND FUTURE REPAIRS OR CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS...IF PRIMER IS SLOW COMING OUT OF GUE=TOO SMALL A NOZZLE(1.7+ with 10% THINNING AT 30PSI+)..NOT ALLOWING PROPER FLASH TIME=POOR WORKMENSHIP (CLUMPY SANDPAPER) & FUTURE REPAIRS. HE TRIED TO SPEED DRYING TIME WITH "AIR"..SMH..THE END RESULT HE HAD TO LET IT DRY OVER-NIGHT. SPRAYING 2 COATS OF PRIMER THERE SHOULD BE A 24 HOURS WAIT PERIOD BEFORE SPRAYING ANOTHER COAT OR BASE COATS.
1k primer is a waterborne base primer by basf same as glasurit, needs to be air dried in order to dry I’m sure you know that. Most waterborne products must be air dried, there for flash times are different than that of a 2k product. The clumpy paper is due to the primer not fully drying which is stated. I move slowly with the spraygun for more build with the 1k product since it’s not a 2k product. Edges were sanded with a interface pad then gone over it by hand, there were moments where I feel it it my hand, for any imperfections and possible low areas. At this stage the bottom of the hood was already painted so the bottom was covered. Over all the hood came out great and I’m happy with it. Happy holidays
