Best tip of the day for painters don't over think your job. Just spray and pray baby
Don't over think it just pray to your higher power 🙏🏼 Amen brother
If anyone painting at home is reading this.. go buy a hygrometer! I ran to Lowes to get a digital clock/hygrometer combo to stick in the booth after watching this. 😂 The temp inside the carport was definitely higher. Having a clock to keep up with flash times without pulling out your phone is handy as well. This is a must-have item and cheap.
Thanks Trigga!
For sure man. Stick that gauge on the wall. Your phone will only tell you the temperature in your area is not going to tell you the exact temperature in your booth / garage. Thanks brother let them know 🤜🏼🤛🏼💪🏼
That sun do be hitting different. Beautiful blend.
Thanks man. Yea 3 different angles will give you 3 different looks. Tell them boys out em out in the sun 😎
@@thetriggerman954 any tips and tricks to prevent paint from wrinkling/lifting. I sprayed a red tricoat ended up having to respray a bumper end for it now I can't stop that hoe from lifting/frying up. That job is held up now bc one piece
@@thetriggerman954if so that would be dope video 🎉
@@sphdg man so many different things can cause that it would be hard to pin point without being there. Fried up on the base? Over old paint? Sealed it? Primed it? What I've seen the most is when the old paint has been sanded through and it's not primed or sealed. I have a new prepper and she sometimes sands through the old paint and leaves it. And I call her over to show her you have to prime this or it will wrinkle on me. We have can primer for little spots so that I don't have to seal it. And 98% of the time it works fine. I'm going to add that to my list right now. I have a list of videos ideas I have to make I'll definitely do it.
That was smart getting that thermometer away from the wall.
🤓
Good information
Glad you enjoyed 💪🏼
TriggerMan on da trigger 🤝 Good video
Thank you Sprayway I appreciate it ✊🏼 🤝🏼
Professor Trigg dropping knowledge early on a Friday. You right bout them paint supply salesmen smh. Just like these parts salesmen. Back in the day you had to have some real world experience to work in these places. Now if you know how to use a computer your hired. Another great informative video. Have a great weekend Trigg💪🏾💪🏾
Thank you man. And yea back in the day those sales guys were previously out in the field and knew what was up. Shit had changed so much.

Whats up T man your right about reducers in this heat but that comes with knowledge on your products and temp nice info for the newbies out there big up dude 👊👊👊
Right on Mr. Brown thank you man 👊🏼
thanks to you trigger i’m off the baby bottle. my jobs have been coming out cleaner with no wet bed. and no sand piling at all.🙌

thanks triggerman, glad that u did the video,, just made my friday,,, cheers triggerman up untill the next one
No problem bro. Told you I got you 💪🏼👊🏼
@@thetriggerman954 thanks again triggerman
You got that silver poppin! This is right up my alley as my next project is a full respray with Honda Heather Mist base. I'm in NW Florida where the temperature varies a good bit this time of the year, so I'm going with slow all the way through from base to clear. The last time I did the same color with standard and caught hell with mottling and flow out of the clear. Definitely heading to Walmart for a booth wall thermometer! Never thought of that.
Good tips in this vid! 💪🏾
Yes sir you can go wrong with slow. Thank you brother man I appreciate it 💪🏼
Another great job Triggerman 💯💪🏾

Excellent explanation Trigga! My first car i every done was my 02 silver Honda Accord. My significant other crashed it into a building corner. I i wish I could show pics on RUclips. All you guys on the tube got me through the painting! The paint gods were on my shoulder.....it came out flawless. I started out a mechanic, but that incident intrigued me to pursue metalworking and bodywork in my older age😂

@@thetriggerman954 Thanks. Yeah...she's scared to touch one of my whips. I know accidents happen, but she stole it and crashed it😡! As long as ur making videos, I'm gonna keep watching Brutha!
My guy! Good stuff , gotta keep ‘em wet and then dance them metallics into place ! I think peoples main problem is doing their drop coat too dry , a lot of people say to back up 12” , I could never do that in my booth - good content bro
Yeah man especially in your 100+ degrees booth 🥵 There is I way to do it 12 inches but it's not " per the book" old school trick . so I can't show that online them divas would come out to kill me. Can't wait until my channel is bigger so I can start showing real tricks from the old timers. I'm limited for now. Plus Spielberg will just recreate it in a movie as if he's teaching it. 🤦🏽♂️

What's up triggerman?! I was hoping I could get a little advice like you gave me before lol. I'm pretty new to auto paint and body world so I watch every video of yours I can find. Agian thanks for all the help!! Anyway I'm spraying GM U926L and so some reason it's coming a like a shade darker than what's on the truck. I have researched and read all kinds of stuff online but thought it would be best to check with THE MAN for advice.
If the color is actually darker then you may need a lighter alternate. So 3 opinions, #1 go with a lighter alternate, #2 drop a little silver into your base, or #3 turn up your pressure on the last coat of base. Hope that helps man. Those are the things that I would do if my base was darker than the adjacent panel
@@thetriggerman954 thanks brother! I will try the air pressure and see what happens.
@@bradadams-sd6mr welcome. Good luck 🤞🏼🍀
Sup Trigga?! I have that exact same gun that’s brand new, coming in that big spray gun order from across the pond… 😂
😂 police are looking for a big package 🏃💨💨💨💨💨
This is for my peeps in the nose bleed section 😉. Nice blend bro, you are spot on with using the reducer for the temperature. Absolutely 💯 on that!
Good video my man. Have an awesome weekend brother 💪😎🥳.
CoCkOooo my man. 🤠😁 in the nose bleeds with binoculars thanks man. Have a blessed weekend brother ⛳🏌️
@@thetriggerman954 I forgot to mention. When I see the young bloods try to blend or drop coat from the back row (a long way back from the panel) and then complain about sand piling. Only a couple inches more than a normal coat is sweet and just flick the bastard out.
Bless you for keeping it reel brother.
@@cocko1135 EXACTLY!!! 🤝🏼
Please provide the measurements of the droplets and the geometric shapes of the metallic flakes. Also the angles they lay in relation to one another. Thanks!
You bet 🫡
Love the videos. Could you make a video on what clear you use and what budget clears would you recommend? I been painting cars on the weekend and Im always trying out different budget clears. Most of the cars are flip cars I have used finish 1 clear, speedokote clear, upol, urekam, tamco and transtar
Thank you sir, in 90 % of my videos I use the same Amtech Clear product of ProSpray there is a link in the description
Use slow reducer no matter the weather, if it’s hotter then usual go with extra slow if your shop has, most people run into issues because there gun set up to much air pressure is common
Well...... going with slow no matter the temp? Let's say it's 50° then use slow reducer and come back tomorrow to clear it 🤣🤣
Hey sometimes metallics are a pain, part of the job. Always read the tds sheets for all products. I go with the wet bed. Why try to be cool like yeah i dont need no wet bed. Then have issues. One and done is the goal. Cheers trigger!
I hear that man. If you need it use it. ☝🏼 and done wet her and forget her 👋🏼
Spray on brother 💪🏼
Im chimed in Trigga. Been painting since 05....AND YOU STILL CAN LEARN FROM OTHER MONKS #DaMaster
Ok Brandon I see you mane. You an OG in this paint game too 🫡
I call those people at the paint store behind the counter painters !!!
You call them painters? 🤔 Interesting
Hay there triggerman when you were explaining how many years you have been painting cars the person that was talking about that you should cover the panel in a purse coat he was talking about the RUclipsr Brian from paint Society
And Brian was talking about me. There was a whole big blow up that you might have missed. Getting coverage in the first coat is what I've been saying from day one. I talk to both of them. It's me 🤷🏽♂️
The local independent paint store I use is fantastic!
That's great 💪🏼
My man said. Do it right, or go be a plumber😂
🧑🏼🔧 get fat and show ya butt crack. 3 wrenches 1 pipe 🤠🤠🤠🤠
The 5 stage turbine i'm using delivers dry heated air, so I already have to step down to slower reducers and activators. High solids clear gets a splash, too with this set up. Metallics are not an issue with the Apollo set up. It actually makes it easy to lay down and blend if you use the right tips and mix. Wet bed or not.
The Turbine Master has spoken 😎 sounds like a smooth operation you got there.
@@thetriggerman954 working for me in my environment. Zero advantage to a speed demon like Trigger😂

When i use wet bed i do the same thing especially with water base if you let that wet bed tack up metallic still stays on top making blend bad
Yeah in my opinion a wet bed needs to be wet If you let it dry then it's a dry bed lol
Another good video. What was your gun settings for base and clear?
Thank you man. Base 24 psi clear 30psi both full fluid and fan
Also make sure you have your fan pattern/distance/overlap correct, I'm moving out of the Harbor Freight gun stage and can tell you how much a bad fan pattern can mess you up! man you spray fast trigger man!
Yep that's right my man. Good that you're moving on from the harbor freight guns. Getting a decent gun will be an investment for the future 🤜🏼🤛🏼 and yea man I'm just programmed to spray fast. When I use to work on commission with 5-7 other painters you have to paint fast and good to make the 6 figures we all want.
Name of spray gun and setting for clear coat mr’ T man?
Arthimatic.
Some how I missed this video but that being said, question for you, I have a prolite with a 1.3 and a TE20 cap will that work for an complete overall paint job. It’s a 68 C3 and while I have been doing many small spray jobs over the past years just wondering what combo of tips with all those curves in your opinion will give me the best results? Or am I splitting hairs with all the other variables that come into play. The paint is PPG Deltron base coat clear coat that I will be using.
Me personally I would need a 1.4 in that gun. It's hot as hell in Florida and I like to move a little faster. 1.4 and a TE20 is the perfect set up for me with that gun. When it gets cooler out I would swap out to a 1.3 maybe grab you a 1.4 and try it out. Better to have it on hand and have the option in case you need it.
@@thetriggerman954
Greatly appreciated the quick response, and will get the 1.4! I am up NE Ohio and won’t be spraying until next spring most likely I just got poly primer on and now I’m sanding my life away…..😂👍🙏
@@poman8772 man I feel you on that. Well you have one of the best set-ups in my opinion can't go wrong. Keep me posted on the project 💪🏼
Trigga dropping that cell therapy .so you have all Aaas mustard and maynase it was 75 in my garage i got mad at the bastards give me slow with a silver i told them slow is best he looks at me and said its un common to use the slow . thanks for using me in todays video first time for everything people just learn from your mistakes😮😂 be willing to learn everyday
Ohh it was you 😂 see Trigger be keeping it real with these people. Hopefully you got that hood looking good the second time around. 💪🏼😎
What brand paint would you recommend for a backyard mechanic? Have you ever used speedokote ? Thank you for the videos
Speedokote is Tr@$H 😄😄 jk Marco don't shoot. Man really any paint will do whatever you have access to, closest paint store to you that you can get to Incase you have an issue you can get back there quick, say if a color doesn't match You can run back to the store have them give you a little of a certain color tint or tinted for you but for someone in your situation it's good to have something close by most paint stores will have a cheap product line something a little better Not always but most cases. I think they all are pretty much the same like for me I spray this pro spray I've never sprayed it until I was started working here and I have no problems with it. 💪🏼
@@thetriggerman954 Thank you for your response
I cant even begin to say how I understand this. Guess that's how it is when you spray in warm climates. Will say that water-borne paint does give you a little extra time for the metalics to lay out. That solvent dries fast as hell. Have you ever used a arch system in the booth? I'll try and send you a photo thru Instagram
I just got the message. What in the heck is that? Man looks like you're painting in a spaceship. Man I need that in my life 😂 is that a dryer or something?
@thetriggerman954 yea man it's a drying system. The booth is open on the end too no doors. The down draft is so strong that I can paint 4 bumpers different colors next to each other. So basically when I lay a coat down there are 3 buttons with different drying times. So spray. Hit button. Clean my wet on wet gun. Come back hit it again. Dry. Drop coat. Wash guns. Slam clear and done. It's incredibly fast but you gotta be too lol. I'll send some footage thru this week.
@@TheDopeShow81 holy shit 😳🤯 man that's next level. Awesome
Use that gun with that set up regularly bruh 😊😊😊
It's crazy how that is. Lol that's why there is no one size fits all. Thank you Mr Brown 💪🏼
Great stuff trigger. I was wondering how you keep the metallics laying down nicely when it’s a little smart repair bumper corner blow in. When you’ve not got much room for lots of paint and blending, generally just covering the repair then puffing it about. I’m new to the game so forgive me if this sounds a stupid question .
No stupid questions here my man. Everything is basically the same procedure just on a smaller scale. Are you asking about like a erally small repair? Even on the smallest jobs you still want to use a bigger tip 1.2 for those metallics. The small tips will give a slight difference in color. I think that's what you mean. Let me know if that's what you mean, if not give me more details and try to get a video up on it next week.
@@thetriggerman954 thanks trigger . Yes a really small repair when using a 1.0 or 1.2 tip. When blending I tend to feather the trigger and puff it about, I presume that will be laying it down dry ? Giving a different appearance ?
I colour matched a paint (Ford moondust silver on my vehicle, did the spray out card before starting any work, the sample looks really light compared to the paint on the vehicle . So I got some paint chips from a local paint shop to take a look at other shades, none seem to match. Wasn’t sure if my spray out card wasn’t sprayed wet enough for the metallics to sit right, giving it a lighter shade ?. Will clear coat darken the paint a little ? . Hope I’m making sense here, new to the game so I might sound like I’m taking bollocks .
@@lockstocky2800 yea man when using a 1.0 or smaller it will always appear lighter you'd need at least a 1.2 and lower pressure if it's that small of a repair. And use a much slower reducer.
@@thetriggerman954 cheers man I will give it a go.
@@lockstocky2800 I'll try to get a video on on it soon. A very good question. 💪🏼
Not the temperature in your mouth,Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha, I get all the products online now because every time I went into the Paint store they always told me the wrong stuff to get I don’t know why they do that??
Yeah man some people have some hot Azz breath 😜 man some of those paint store guys never been on the battlefield so they just go by 🤔 hmmm I don't know what the hell they go by lol some are very knowledgeable though. Roll of the dice 🎲🎲🎲
Wet bed is clear base right? I’ve never used a wet bed
Yes it is. I never used it until starting this channel. Seems it's a RUclips thing so I had to get with the program. 🤷🏽♂️
@@thetriggerman954 might be worth a try. I need more training on tips and what that changes I have a 1.3 for my gun but I’ve never used it. I run a 1.4 year round but I have a booth that stays within 75 to 115 in the summer sometimes
Some waterborne silvers go dark if you put it wet on first round, except those that are meant for 1 pass visit like axalta. That's not the case with solvent i see 🤔
So every silver is meant to spray a different way? Like each silver paint code has a certain wetness to spray with water base? 🤔 haven't heard that one before. Interesting 🤔
@@thetriggerman954 I meant like example PPG if u put it really wet on first pass it certainly is darker. Glasurit 90 line is like solvent so that does not go dark if I put it really wet on first round. Waterbornes are certainly more complicated with light silvers,even pressure matters how dark or light it goes excluding few brands
@@Mika-zg7pq yea pressure matters how dark and light with solvents as well. But ok I get what you're saying now. Yea man every paint manufacturer has their data sheets how how they want you to spray. My friends spray water base and the only thing I ever hear them complain about is the time it takes to dry / flash even with fans. So glad I haven't had to switch to that stuff.
@@Mika-zg7pq so with the PPG let's say you put it on wet on your first coat... so even after a second and 3rd coat and drop coat that 1 coat of paint will change the color through all of the other 3 layers of paint over it? 🤔
G1u is a tricky color
Yes it's kicked my butt in the past. Not may people are familiar with that code.
@thetriggerman954 yea mine also ,alot of the Subaru colors are a pain in the ass
Do you have a a recommendation for a plumbing school?😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I really don't use a wetnad just another step that's not really needed
You can't say that on RUclips. Lol wet beds are a RUclips thing lol
Air volume is not a nuff air .

Sometimes you look like Lou Bega and sometimes you dont. Had to get that off my chest it’s been months. I tried to let it go not happening.
That said I think people are struggling with even passes. 3rdly nobody gonna understand painting until you do it. Research is important though and you’re helping people. You cover reality and that’s just as important as the arithmetic side of it all.
Some paint reps are full of shit and some feel like they have to stick to their books and that’s fair I guess.
Lmao man I had to Google that name. 🙈🤣 that's my half brother 😉
I know what you're saying about them struggling with the passes. I'm just trying to get them to at least have a better chance by starting out with the right materials. You can't get anything right if you're set up to fail from the start. 💪🏼
