Brian and all who are watching this. Please take more precautions when applying these chemicals. Ones skin is extremely porous, wear gloves when applying anything.. even the scuff.. Paint suit.. etc as well as using a mask. had a auto paint friend who "got used to it" and died of cancer at 42yo. read the labels.... this is all nasty stuff..
I have had sex with over 2 people
Really straightforward vid, that addresses what's important when painting plastic. THX!
The quality of these videos is incredible. I love how detailed the info is amazingly. Thank you
Great vid, I just did this a couple months ago for the first time and it was a fun learning experience. Not a new bumper, repaired a crack and repainted a peeling old bumper that was painted by a local body shop and had Doritos-sized paint sections falling off (that shop went out of business, wonder why?). I made some noob mistakes but did use aerosol adhesion promoter and overall it came out looking pretty good for a first attempt...after I redid the 'noob mistakes' section anyway. I used 2k urethane primer, base, and 2K urethane clear, fingers crossed it holds up. Getting the old paint off was annoying but Smart Strip paint remover and a Ryobi pressure washer removed most of it.
Good job Brian, looks great! Good info on the stuffing paste and the anti static wipe! Thanks for the vids man!
This video tutorial should get a award. Very interesting and informative. You are a great explainer. Learned alot.
This is the best tutorial on painting plastics I have seen. Thank you
One of those rare RUclips videos where everything is useful information explained well and to the point. 👍👍
Nice, im in college for auto collision repair and refining and practiced pating some bumper covers the other day, I had trouble getting in the fog light holes and deeper holes but i think i did alright, im exited to keep learning
Your videos are so educational, inspiring and fun to watch. As an owner of 3 older bmws (1991 850i/6speed, 2000 M5 and 97 540i sport/6speed) they have Zero rust but the 850i has some paint fade on top of rear bumper and the 540i roof has some paint oxidation which I may attempt to repaint . the 540i’s value hasnt appreciated like the 850i so no harm there in trying especially afterwatching some of you’re videos. Some of the real world scenarios that you post (rattle can paint job, cheap spray gun tests etc) makes people feel confident enough and removes the intimidation of painting their car on a budget.
Thanks for another great video! I have learned so much from you over the last year. Love your colabs with bodevision as well. Keep up the amazing work man!
The picture in a picture of the live action in the both was a nice touch. It was really neat seeing the the POV/3rd Person perspective 👍🏼 again keep up the great work Brian 🍻
Brian I have learnt so much from this channel. Thank you sir.
Great information and well explained 🤝
Thank you! Thanks for stopping by!
So detailed with the explanations. Ur a living legend
Great information, like the way you explain, best video about raw bumpers, God blessings to you and your family
Thank you for the clear and consistent information!
Thank you for adding the don't overthink it you just helped me get straight to it👍🏼👌🏽
First YT video I found that actually makes sense! Thanks!
As usual great content. Thanks for the motivation and confidence
Really nice info. Painters pay attention
Thanks for stopping by the channel bro!
Hey Brian you really produce some great stuff man --I'm learning a hell of a lot from your vids many thanks I'm based in the U.k
That looks like a lot of fun and so very satisfying
This is the video I needed. Was planning on repainting my rear bumper. I’m not an expert but I knew I needed some type of flex agent. Easy to understand, straight forward 💯
Thank you 🙏 so much again Brian for the review and the info this channel have been a lot too us Brian keep it up and keep doing the good work ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👏✊✊✊✊✊✊🤣
Love watching your videos, I’ve learned a lot from watching you. One question I had, after the clear has dried on a plastic bumper, do you need to cut and buff it with compound and polish or is that only needed on metal parts? Thanks for the vids and keep up the good work!
Love the channel, it is quickly becoming my favorite. You always go into detail and thats what I'm looking for in the vids I watch. Another Excellent video!
😘😘😘
Great info! Love the detail you share. ✋🏼
That's a help, I had a fit with the bumper I did for my car, I'll have to jus start over, Thanks
You haven’t lived until you’ve had to redo one that flaked off! Good point on not over scuffing it especially with a metallic. Even with all the proper steps they are still nerve wracking!
Another good video, the explanation well detailed, I really liked the two videos on the same screen, well done my brother 👍
Great video love watching all your videos have learned a lot gonna have a go at spraying my van 👊👊👊
Nice video. Seeing all the steps, I understand why it's expensive getting these items painted. I stopped by my Chrysler dealership to get pricing for painting a couple plastic molded 24"x 13" x 2" hood scoops. It's my first estimate, but I was given $200 excluding installation for both. I'm curious what other shops will charge. I was going to use Mopar paint in rattle cans, but after watching your video. The prep may be my downfall. Thanks again for your video.
Hey Brian, I have an interesting question - what do you think about using a flex agent in base and/or primer?
Brian your are Beast 💪 God bless you and your family Thank you 🙏🙏🙏😊
You always doing a good job learn a lot from you thanks for sharing you 👍👍
What if you had to repair some minor scratches (refinishing an OEM bumper w/ original paint)? Any special primer you'd recommend to remain flexible? Same question about the filler (specific recommendations)?
I'm not talking major repair (tears, hot staples, plastic welding). Just some minor rash that goes through clear coat/paint, maybe a tiny bit into the raw plastic but not deep. Basically refinishing a 'take off' from a solid donor car.
Thanks, as always, for your fantastic videos!!
Cool Info Video and perfect Job Love it 👍❤️👍
Great painter, very knowledgeable, keep it up mate👍👍👊
Great info Brian! Lookin slick as always!
Thanks! Can’t wait to see how the vette turns out
@@PaintSociety Thanks brother ,hopefully sunday! Film, edit ,repeat !
great video Brian!
Are you able to do a segment on some ways to smooth out and paint textured plastics? Appreciate your hard work and effort.
Great video! Thanks for this info. Can I use a steam cleaner to clean the front grill I'm doing?
Great channel and learning alot!! Question; I am painting a new grill and glares. I sanded thru a spot on the primer and missed it until I had a coat of finish paint on it. If subsequent coats don't cover the bb sized spot, can I use a tiny paint brush and dab on adhesion promoter then coat the spot with paint or will that mess up my finish?
Thanks alot Brian ! Great stuff here. I see that you suggested 1.4 nozzle for primer and 1.3 for clear coat. What size nozzle should be used on Base? 1.3?
I just wet sand lightly with a grey pad and 2 light coats of adhesion promoter and never have a problem,,, only time I ever did was cleaning it with anything but tack cloth
Very good info, especially with sweating the release agent off of raw plastic bumpers.
Thanks. I been watching your channel and excited for the new shop
@@PaintSocietyI'm sanding a lower back bumper valance . Can you tell me the best spray paint for a gloss black finish. Really appreciate it.
That's like measure twice and cut ones. Problem is that up here in NYC, Insurance companies don't want to pay for the time and materials needed to do this. So, most shops take shortcuts and in the long run, it doesn't hold up. By the time that happens, the customer doesn't remember who did the work. lol Great video, Brian...😎
Thanks for all the awesome tips and tricks. Is there a certain way in general that u mix the paint or apply it differently to bumpers than on the body to avoid the colour difference on the metal and the plastic. I noticed i get different colours out of the same mix on my bumpers and the body in 2k and basecoat paint jobs. And is there a way the get a closer match even if u do only the bumper
Great video. Going to paint my new s2000 bumper soon. Do you have a video on prepping brand new panels like fenders?
Bumper looks great, also like the multiple camera angles!!
Running 2x cameras now
@@PaintSociety 360 cam would be dope! Minus the over spray it will get all over it! Lol
Great video as always. What light do you have attached to the DV-1B in the video? I always pick up something new no matter how many times I rewatch a video.
Great clip thanks. I always love to see the finished job while still in the booth. I was wondering if you have a clip about everything you would need if spraying a complete van for the first time with 2k Marone? I am slowly building my supply of paint better tools and so on. What I don't want to happen is while painting is to suddenly realize I need something and I need to go buy it. I have an ok gun with a 1.4 tip I will use for primer and only just got an Iwata 400 1.3 for the base and clear. So from filler to finished how many liters of paint and so on would you estimate for an MPV. I would rather have too much than not enough. Cheers
After scuffing, I usually use nautical epoxy primer. It helps with chipping in motorcycle fairings and mudguards.
awesome video. but how do you prep and paint already painted plastic parts like mudflaps or side mirrors, or headlight/taillight covers/fascias?
Adhesion promoter is your friend and work's well for any surface
Thanks again Brian for putting together high quality instructional videos for professional painting.
How would you fix up a road rash covered PTM plastic bumper. I was thinking of using plastic epoxy (same stuff you used on the corvette trunk lid) to fill holes then adhesion promote the areas that the bare plastic are showing. Then seal and paint as usual?
Thing about plastics is that some people whom I know think its the same as prepping a metal panel, bonnet, door, roof etc when it's very different.
The plastic of the car needs a plastic primer, adhesion promoter, sealer etc and I've used just a grey scotch pad. Didn't use scuff paste and it did turn out ok.
What’s you favorite base gun? I use the entech from Iwata and the ws 400 for clear but would like to change to a different base gun. And I mainly spray diamont with some 90 line water
Thanks for you explained.
What would happen if I don’t spray sealer will the paint stays for a long time? Thanks brain
What about on a used bumper cover? After a repair do you use adhesion promoter then primer, sealer, base/clear?
Love your videos man I just got a job as a painter helper and I've been learning from them and you..
Also I got the same pressure washer at home Lol.
Congrats !
Great video, question would these same steps apply to painting a plastic boat?
Thank you for your videos. I order a bumper from Kies Motorsport. It’s supposed to be an OEM bumper and they said it comes pre-primed. Should I still use adhesion promoter?
Man great info and video I came over from bodevision and just subscribed!!!!!
Welcome !!
Nice one Brian stay safe cheers
Super hype song! Almost spilt my coffee on the way to work watching your video fist pumpin! Haha
Be safe lol
Awesome Video👍
Hey Brian, great video! My only questions is the 902 plastic cleaner. If I’m using the bulldog Abrasive prep and clean that states it removes “release agents” do I still need the 902 Plastic cleaner to release mould agents ? I guess I’m going to find out in 2 days when I paint my First plastic bumper! Lol but thanks for the great vids, I’ll be able to buy my GTR soon because of you! Lol
Question . I’m trying to paint my replacement side mirror that’s a silver color to my cars color so do you suggest I just sand it with 400 grit . Spray sealer then apply my actual paint . Would I have to apply the sealer after painting it or just before
I have some pretty deep scratches and holes/scrapes, do i add primer then adhesion promoter then paint? Or adhesion first, then primer, then adhesion again, then paint?
Thanks for all the great info! I have a plastic bumper that is rock chipped to oblivion. Do you have a video showing how you would attach?
I have a bumoer that needs to be repainted. it has some areas that are scuffed which I will need to use body filler for that.
I am going to have to use cans for everything except of course for the body filler.
After using the body filler do i just spray the adheasion promoter on that area or do i still need to spray it on the areas that I just scuffed the clearcoat as well, so that whole area?
Then for the sanded areas I would use a primer filler to fill in any sanding scratches correct?
after this step do I still to spray a sealer on top of that as well before painting?
if so can you please.provide a link for sealer in a spray can as well?
Thank you.
P.s if there is anything that I am missing or you would do instead please let me know. Thank you!👍
Nice video! I did the trim on my vibe the other day and wished I had of used an adhesion promoter!
I actually nervous the paint won’t stick. On some areas the bumper and trim absorbed it like a sponge. On other areas it didn’t and sat on top of the plastic.
Now I’m worried about flaking and chips
Hey Brian, I am painting own GMC door handles that come primed. Do I need to use sealer and is there sealer and paint that I can use in a spray can, just a small job to break out a gun. Is SEM any good.
when would you need flex agent on such a flexable part like bumper vs not needing?
Super great job 👍
Hi Brian , thanks for this video, I've been following your videos for a month and now I'm painting my aftermarket bumper. The problem right now is finding the scuff stuff, is it possible to replace it with another product or do you have any ideas or alternatives for that, thanks again.
4:00 For those confused; he's saying "mould", not "mold." A mould is a form that plastic in its liquid form is poured into so that it takes the shape of the mould when it hardens.
I’m going to paint my first bumper
Thank you
I'm about to start spraying 2K Clear on my unpainted motorcycle fairings. What's the best way to do that for best results? Or will these steps work for my application as well
Have a question? I have learned so much from watching your videos. My husband and I are painting a club car ds we purchased a couple months ago. We decided on The Rustolium 2 X Acrylic Enamel. We started with the front end. It dried so fast applying it. We used Deep blue. Their primer dried to fast also. No I'm wondering about the clear I bought. Can I use a different brand or? On top of the Rustolium? please any help will be well appreciated!
My daughter received a pink helmet for christmas I am using this video so I can paint something over the pink for her as she is not a huge fan of the colour. Thanks for the tips.
Hey, just wanna ask your opinion on electric sprayer. Thank you
Hey Brian, if your bumper cover already has paint on it can you just scuff it and then spray adhesion promoter and then seal it before basecoat clearcoat?
Can I use high build primer instead of the sealer ? And if you can do I still put the adhesion promoter before the primer?
What process does one need to go through to just repaint a bumper cover that was already painted from the factory? Other that fixing any scratches and sanding down , is it necessary to still put an adhesion promoter and or sealer on the already factory painted bumper before base and clear?
Do I need to use plastic primer prior repainting my old painted bumper? Thank you.
Ok got a question, I'm getting ready to re-do my front and maybe rear bumper due to clear coat peeling, if you could email me that would be better so that I could tell you the whole plan but if not the short version is I'm gonna be sanding (showing the process) starting at 600-800-1000 to get rid of bad clear followed by scuffing the rest of the bumper then will be applying base coat to effected areas where clear was lifted, cracked, and will try to blend it in with rest of bumper followed by a 2k clear all over bumper(s) all while bumper(s) are still on vehicle (don't want to deal with taking them off) the same will be done to door handles as the clear for some reason is peeling off them too, any ideas or what I have planned is correct??
I’ve got a primed bumper cover. Should I even mess with that and get it painted by a pro? I noticed some of the primer chipping from shipping.
So you add flex agent to your sealer and clear coat too? What about the base coat? I've been under the impression that flex was hardly used any more since all these 2K coatings remained so flexible. What about hi build primers then?
Do you bake it after in the heater room. I mean any other treatment after clear coat?
Can I use sandpaper (and what grit if positive)instead of a sponge for an raw ABS front grill?
Do you think that you could accomplish the same surface prep with a really fine glass bean sand blaster? I want to paint a piece of plastic that has a crap ton of texture, nooks and crannies. I'm sure that trying to get in there with a scotch bright pad would be next to impossible.
Been there, thought I just needed to clean better….. and here I am, learning how to do it properly without a hundred million fisheyes 😂
Hey Brian!..I have a bad Plastic bumper where the paint is peeling off really cleanly,-well about 90% of it anyway the rest is flaking-and exposing the black plastic under where it looks like the previous painter didn’t even bother with scuffing it...how would I go about removing all the paint to prep it for primer paint etc...??..
Hi Brian, how do you prepare a sealer for a plastic bumper. Pls show what and how flex agent is added
Thank you!
Well done and nicely explained thank you very
You are welcome!
tanks for show you wisdom i greafull for that
