Just found your channel about a week ago because I recently got an offer from my neighbor who flips cars. He saw what I did for my wheels with rattle cans and asked me if I wanted to paint his cars. Now I am buying everything I would need to paint quick flips, starter everything. Harbor freight junk. But we have to start somewhere, and most of the reason I'm willing to sacrifice so much is because you gave me the confidence. I love your videos, and I have already learned so much. You are a great teacher!
I painted two full exterior Volkswagen polo from the 1990’s using spray cans after watching and learning from your videos. The results were outstanding. Restoration and detailing if anyone wants to have a look.
Hi mate can you put a link to your channel in here? I've searched you but too many vids come up but none seem to be from your account? I'd be happy to have a look as I have a similar plan following Brian's techniques. Thanks
Hello mate. II’m thinking to do that too! I’ve paintings my bumpers and, being silver, they’ve ended up not being a match to the rest of the car! Doh! Hearing that you”ve done it and happy with the results is inspiring me to give it a go. The bumpers turned out decent, so why wouldn’t the rest? Could you link me to see your vids of that please? Cheers, Dave
I understand the garage is still in progress, but would like to see videos documenting that process. Choice of finishes, types of equipment you looking at getting and reasons why. Also color schemes for painted surfaces,because part of painting cars at home is getting your home setup right or as best as what will fit into budget. Love the channel.
Hi Brian! Great to see you in your newly fitted garage, looking good (and somewhere of your own to do your own filming continuance without needing to worry about usage by others). Thanks for sharing 👍
Tekton is great for hand tools. Durablock for sanding blocks, harbor freight da sander will do fine for entry level. Astro pneumatic makes good entry level affordable spray guns/ other air tools you want. Harbor freights body hammers work just fine for basic metal work.
Keep in mind I love this channel as well but expect a lot of Eastwood and kovax sponsorship. Eastwood is hit or miss, and I’ve never tried kovax sandpaper so I can’t speak to it.
@Paint Society please include an entry level compressor you would recommend. I've been looking for videos on this topic but everyone skips the compressor recommendations. Thanks for being an excellent instructor.
Brilliant video again. Can't get enough of watching these at the moment. I hand paint boats at work and am watching your videos to learn spraying myself for home car projects. Cant wait for the next one. Keep going man really informative 👍

Great instructor/video! I WONDERED why u were spraying so close until u indicated it was windy. Easy for an amateur like me to get runs. Thanks again for using tools for the average person. I'm not in the process of painting, just find your videos very interesting. 👍
I enjoy you showing us weekend warriors how to look good. I'm looking for a How To video on how to paint over an original 65 year old enamel & lacquer paint job that has panels that still look pretty good. Of course there are rust spots in the usual areas that will be repaired as well. After sanding, what's steps are next with what kind of sealer, primer, paint? Thx 4 taking the time to share.
That 7gen Accord Coupe in the background looking clean!! Been watching your channel trying to apply everything from your videos to my 06 Accord Coupe with a full HFP kit. Still in the body work phase but your videos have helped me a lot Brian and I thank you for that!!
I have the 03-05 kit on mine that I had to make some modifications to the front lip for it to fit properly, but it’s fitted now. Mine’s also a Nighthawk Black Pearl.
Great video and great point on the cost. It's extremely costly to do a entire car with these. This product is great for one time use just to get one panel nice for someone with limited resources or tools
Yea it's wild. If you were to do a actually restoration which requires a nice 2-3 coats of primer fill and block, you would blow 40-60 a panel just on primer using this stuff 😂😂😂😂😂😂 but like we both said great for small one time repairs
You're so right about wearing gloves. I've seen countless DIY videos where the content creator immerses his hands in motor oil, transmission fluid, brake cleaner, WD-40, etc. and I'm sitting there cringing. These chemicals all have harmful ingredients that are rapidly absorbed through the skin. I personally wash my hands immediately if I should happen to get anything on them while working in the garage. And I wear gloves. So thank you for this.
I knew how important respiratory equipment is, but was unaware just touching all that was so bad… have touched a fair amount of the clean/dirty oil with my hands. Thanks for the insight.
Brian: What does high build primer mean? Is it a thick coating? Why a thicker coating then a one K? When do you use high build and when the opposite? Appreciate your time and videos!❤

This is a lot more learnable than some of the other videos I’ve watched. I’ve been trying my darnedest to get a decent job from rattle can colour shift paint with unsatisfactory results. The whole panel gets ruined by a few wrinkled areas. After so many attempts I’ve stripped it down to original paint. I needed to address some rock chips so now I’m ready for colour coat. Even though I haven’t sanded past the original coat is it advisable to prime again or just go ahead with the colour coat. I’ve used both Tremclad and 2k gloss black for the base coat. This time I’m using the 2k gloss black for the first coat. Hopefully no wrinkles. Then the colour shift. The problem is that when I’ve laid down clear coats, the next day I will find some wrinkled spots. This is so frustrating. It invades my dreams. Have you any advice you could pass on to help me with this? I would really appreciate it.

Hello Brian thanks for all the videos. Idea for future videos: Compare different types of paints and how they work (different brands of paint, how they are mixed, how they turn out, cost vs durability, which work best with budget gun, mid-range or top end spray guns). I'm doing my first base/clear paint job and finding relevant info about this topic is difficult. And the paint makers I'm looking at have sites that are way too complicated. I've got a recommendation to use PPG or Sikkens.
Enjoy all ur videos im learning alot feeling confident on my secont time spraying a car. One question is if im going over a paint job with regular primer to block out. Would i need to put epoxy sealer before my basecoat this epoxy sealer seems intimidating to me

Thanks for the video! I recently painted a fiberglass front bumper cover using your techniques, and it didn't come out as well as I had hoped. All my fault, of course. There were a lot of imperfections in the primer it came with, so the paint really didn't go on evenly, and some of the "blemishes" are still visible. (Note: I've also painted a spoiler, rear bumper covers, and two side rocker panels, and they all came out great, because I prepped properly first!). So, I want to redo the front panel. Should I just sand it down to the base coat, smoothing out the imperfections, and re spray and re-clear coat? Thanks, again!

Hey brain, My question is have you ever sprayed water Bourne paints before?? Do you prefer solvent paint or water Bourne paints and what are the pros and cons between these two types of paints
Hi Brian. Thanks for another great video. On previous video you have said you like the primer to land in a P320 scratch. Is there a specific reason you only sanding up to P220 before primer on this video?
Hey Brian I have a question for you. I am going to repaint 2014 fusion with a few door dings to fix and some rock chipping on hood and bumper cover the clear coat is delaminated in some spots. The question is do I need to take the clear coat completely off the whole car or just in the delaminated spots. Can I spray base coat over sanded (with 400) and sealed clear coat? Thanks Love you work
Would u do this whole process for a after market hood that comes in blk already or would u just scuff with scotch tag and paint it? Or do I have to primer it any help would be gladly appreciated
This could be useful for my brother. His 1986 VW T3 Bluestar has failing clear coat on 80% of the roof plus 4 large square patches where the paint has either turned white (bus is metallic blue) or come away from some dodgy repairs. He originally wanted it painted then laughed at the quotes so bought himself a roll of gloss black wrap to cover the whole roof. Temporary fix for a few years. I wonder if he could get a decent finish? His previous DIY painting job was his VW bay window camper where he rattle canned the white door tops. Came out really good all be it a lot less area to paint than a roof.
Hello, just painted some exhaust tips, but used non-high heat primer by mistake. I did apply 5 coats of high heat paint over it. Insides were painted too. Am I facing any danger here? Thanks for your help 👍🏼
Hello Brian I have a 2002 BMW 530i in titanium silber color. Can you recommend what type of paint, sealer,clear and where to purchase. Thanks to you I’m going to DYI it in a home garage. I live in Houston,Texas. Thanks man your content is very inspiring and concise, thanks for sharing your experience!
Did those chips near the front of the hood just go away with the 120 paper? You didn't need to fill them? That's what I'm dealing with right now on my DIY. In fact, once I started the sanding, I seemed to be creating more of those chips... I'm assuming that's the clear coat chipping away. How can I avoid this? Or what should I do about these chips? Thank you!
Please do a similar video where the paint is OK and only the clearcoat needs to be re-done Like, the spoiler on my MIata had some spots with deteriorating clearcoat. I thought I could compound down to a layer of clear that was still good, but ended up picking up some paint color on my pad and stopped. The paint looks fine, so I think I just need to re-clear. Should I just wet-sand the whole spoiler with 600, mask it off from the rest of the car, then spray it with a can of 2K clear?
@@PaintSociety Oh dang, ok. Is the issue that the new clear won't stick to the scuffed-up old clear? Or does the final result not look good because of the old clear being scratched and the new clear not perfectly filling in the scratches? Or something else?
I have painted a whole car before , a tremendous amount of work just getting it ready , a 35 Oldsmobile 3 window coupe . I wish I could have seen your videos before I painted that ,I don't remember if you tube was a reality then .I now have a 65 corvette coupe that could use a respray , I'm on the fence because of all the work , To get it done by a professtional is way out of this retiree's budget . Keeping the same color , could I just give it a good sanding , then sealer and paint . Or do I have to strip it all the way down to fiberglass ?
Brian, I have some new (metal) panels that had EDP coating on it. I sprayed epoxy primer and am now wondering if I need to spray a urethane primer as well or if the epoxy primer is enough before spraying base coat. Since the panels are new, they're perfectly straight and won't need blocking.
@paintsociety is it necessary to prime over existing paint without any rust or scratches? Can i just take off the clear coat and then repaint with top voat?
Brian! Speaking of entry level tools, im doing my first body/paint related job on my car this weekend. i have a 3m 6100 dual cartridge respirator with p100 and ov cartridges. do you think that will protect me while grinding sanding priming and painting?
I started watching your tutorials last summer. Since it's getting nicer out I'm back on research for spay gun purchase, I saw the $200.00 Iwata 1.3 and am wondering about the kit that converts it to a 1.8 or 2.0.
where im from, the paint prep spray is a lot more expensive and its quite hard to find. Would it be okay for my case to just go through more sand paper than usual instead? Will it negatively impact the prep? prior to sanding i wash the surface with dishsoap + water instead.
Brian I'm using Direct to Metal Paint. Would you Recommend Primer, it says doesn't need primer, But I'm used to using primer before paint. Do you think it will be ok without primer? Thanks 👍
@@PaintSociety I've got an old Van Brian, First time Spraying a van. I've ordered Land rover Military High Build grey oxide metal primer, and landrover Military Direct to metal Grey Black High Gloss Paint to tidy it up. Just wondering if I should use the primer or not as paint states primer is not needed. But I think I should use it as have it and ideally want the paint to stick as best as possible. Thanks brian 🙏
If this was a metal hood with exposed bare metal and filler, would an etch primer be recommended over those areas prior to filler primer over the entire hood?
So if i was doing a whole car would i sand from 220 grit to 400 to 600 then primer then sand and then paint and clear? , ive got a old car with bad clear coat and paint damage and going to respray it
Also do I need to take the old paint all the way to bare metal. The paint is 3 years old it needs color correction. The primer is showing through the paint.
Brian, once again, a great video lesson. Thank you. The paint on the hood of my 2008 Tacoma has chipped off the first 8 inches from the front of my hood. Your technique from this video would not work because the paint is also chipping off areas on the rest of the truck. The factory covered metal has that gray sealer exposed and in some areas the metal has begun to rust. For that type of tired paint will sanding down to bare metal with 80 grit be the better way to go? Then seal it with self etch primer or epoxy, before applying sandable primer, be the way to approach the refinish?

Bro just started watching paint videos as I’m working redoing my 2016 Honda Civic and want new fenders side, skirts, and bumpers, but this was great
thank you! was surprised at how many videos showed brand new bumpers but wanted a video on prepping an old bumper for paint. this is perfect.
Thanks for this video. I was able to paint my back bumper as a whole novice and it came out great.
Excellent video straight to the point, easy to follow and educational.

How do you deal with the edges? Do you sand and prep the edges the same way? If not how far do you go?

Keeping the same color , could I just give it a good sanding , then sealer and paint . Or do I have to strip it all the way down to fiberglass ?
Would this be the same procedure for a new Harwood fiberglass hood that is factory gel coated?
Brian, I have some new (metal) panels that had EDP coating on it. I sprayed epoxy primer and am now wondering if I need to spray a urethane primer as well or if the epoxy primer is enough before spraying base coat. Since the panels are new, they're perfectly straight and won't need blocking.
@paintsociety is it necessary to prime over existing paint without any rust or scratches? Can i just take off the clear coat and then repaint with top voat?
Could you use standard degreaser instead of paint prep?
Brian! Speaking of entry level tools, im doing my first body/paint related job on my car this weekend. i have a 3m 6100 dual cartridge respirator with p100 and ov cartridges. do you think that will protect me while grinding sanding priming and painting?
I started watching your tutorials last summer.
Since it's getting nicer out I'm back on research for spay gun purchase, I saw the $200.00 Iwata 1.3 and am wondering about the kit that converts it to a 1.8 or 2.0.
The blue hand towel you are using… Is it just from a roll of shop towels?
No. Check the link. Micro
How long after applying the 2k urethane primer can you sand it ? Once sanded how long until you can topcoat it ?
You didnt sand completely through the original clear coat? Will that affect the quality and longevity of the new paint?
I can't wait to see the custom inflatable booth!
Great video! Thank you! Question tho, did you use a body filler/kit at that light spot 10:04?
Hi Brian, my g35 aluminium hood paint peeled off in the front. What kind of stuff should i use? Thank you I appreciate your answer.
Hey Brian I am looking into the rupes Skorpio III sander. Would you recommend the 3mm or 6mm orbit sander?
where im from, the paint prep spray is a lot more expensive and its quite hard to find. Would it be okay for my case to just go through more sand paper than usual instead? Will it negatively impact the prep? prior to sanding i wash the surface with dishsoap + water instead.
Your videos turned me into a great painter I'm still so so on filler lol but man thanks a million
What grit sandpaper should i use to sand the primer before applying base coat?
Good evening Brian have a question for you when I lay down my paint it peel off or raise up what is it and what can I do to stop that?
Hey quick question I wanna spray bed liner on my truck and the clear coat is pretty bad what grit sandpaper should I use?
I'm not here all the time so I don't know what you use all the time but I was like..
Eastwood baby!!!
Brian I'm using Direct to Metal Paint. Would you Recommend Primer, it says doesn't need primer, But I'm used to using primer before paint. Do you think it will be ok without primer? Thanks 👍
I would have to read the tds on it. I’m guessing this isn’t a car ?
@@PaintSociety I've got an old Van Brian, First time Spraying a van. I've ordered Land rover Military High Build grey oxide metal primer, and landrover Military Direct to metal Grey Black High Gloss Paint to tidy it up. Just wondering if I should use the primer or not as paint states primer is not needed. But I think I should use it as have it and ideally want the paint to stick as best as possible. Thanks brian 🙏
If this was a metal hood with exposed bare metal and filler, would an etch primer be recommended over those areas prior to filler primer over the entire hood?
So if i was doing a whole car would i sand from 220 grit to 400 to 600 then primer then sand and then paint and clear? , ive got a old car with bad clear coat and paint damage and going to respray it
Brian, thanks for the great video! What rattle can primer would you use for a metal hood?
Also do I need to take the old paint all the way to bare metal. The paint is 3 years old it needs color correction. The primer is showing through the paint.
Epoxy
Great Content! Can we get a spec and review of that Eastwood compressor?
Yes, soon
Is there a rule of thumb with what grit you need to finish prior to primer?
Nice appreciate the tips they always help keep it coming
How can I remove the primer to expose the patina on my old truck? Thank you 😊
Can I paint same factory color over factory paint without priming? Just scuff it, block it flat and paint and clear?
Brian, once again, a great video lesson. Thank you. The paint on the hood of my 2008 Tacoma has chipped off the first 8 inches from the front of my hood. Your technique from this video would not work because the paint is also chipping off areas on the rest of the truck. The factory covered metal has that gray sealer exposed and in some areas the metal has begun to rust. For that type of tired paint will sanding down to bare metal with 80 grit be the better way to go? Then seal it with self etch primer or epoxy, before applying sandable primer, be the way to approach the refinish?
Can you do a video on how to this on a pure metal panel? I have a classic car I want to paint myself and want to make sure I paint it right.
Okay before the primer did you rinse off the hood? I'm assuming yes?
With the prep cleaner
@@PaintSociety ok cool. Thank you.
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
