as a qualified Spray Painter... I well and truely approve of this video! great video mate. I have shared this with my friends so they can have a better understanding of my profession! 10/10 for explanation 🖒🖒🖒
What is a qualified spray painter!!? As a custom bike painter I would not paint my toiler seat with anything that comes in a spray can. Spray can paints are junk - PERIOD. There are no reducers or activators added at the time of application and therefore you know what is in there is junk. If there was any doubt - try spray high grade automotive paint from a properly atomizing gun and see what happens to the spray can goo. Instantly dissolves it. The spray can junk doesn't perform well at all and if it looks the same as it did a year after applied its a miracle. 3 years later you want to shoot yourself because now you have to strip that crap off since you cannot paint on top of it. Way to go to save a buck. Even a harbor freight paint gun atomizes infinitely better than any can. And thankfully you can now apply 2 stage and 3 stage proper paints not to mention 2K filler primers etc.. There's a reason proper paint costs money. Most of them have lifetime warranties and there's absolutely no way no how ever you will get spay paint to look anything like the general ball park of a good automotive painter and I can prove that all day long. Its night and day.. crystal clear glass finish clear coat or even matte finishes don't come from spray cans.. ever. They take a boat load of talent experience and the requisite quantities of high grade acrylic enamels.
Chris Stratton Wow. Bad day? These videos don’t claim that spray cans and spray guns yield the same results. I’m not sure if it was in this video or in Part 1, but he does make the point that he feels spray guns are the way do go and are his first choice. He also makes the point that if you’re planning to paint something large (like a car) that you can buy an inexpensive gun, compressor and paint for about the same amount as you’d pay for all the cans of paint you’ll need. In that case, he says, go with the gun. The target audience for these videos aren’t professionals like yourself. You guys already know how to paint with good results. CSM’s videos show lay people like me how to sand, prep and spray correctly for a good result. They’re very helpful for guys like me.
Best paint from a can ive ever used on wheels is rustoleum trim and bumper paint. Its a matte black that holds up so well to the elements. I sprayed my subarus alloys 2yrs ago 3 coats sanded to 320 an no primer. It looks great still and doesnt chip or flake at all even through the new england winters.
I've been watching your videos for two hours now straight I'm interested beyond belief. These are some of the most information filled videos on the web
I learned more from this video than from any other I have viewed in the past several weeks as I attempt to do some repair work on an old car that I'm not ready to part with.
Surfing around RUclips, I watched these a couple years ago and they were great! I’m glad I subscribed right away. Some of the tips stuck in my head, some didn’t. I’m getting ready to do some touch up painting on my ‘85 BMW 318i , so I came back and watched part 1 and deux again. Great tips! Thanks for putting out these vids. Very helpful. Cheers from Florida, USA
Your tip at @ 10:10 just saved me a load of hassle, thank you very much for this true pearl of wisdom. I was having a nightmare with one spot that just kept producing a fish eye in my base coat, - wiped some Kurust in there, let it dry, and it covered brilliantly., cheers mate and happy New Year!
@customspraymods that dupli color can. on the blue nozzle, turn that white piece attached to it. It changes the fan of the nozzle. (it does in every case ive seen, though i have never used dupli color engine paint)
Dont forget you can change the nozzle heads for a diff pattern,the ones I hate are the 'adjusable' fan heads and they always get changed for a better head.
Awesome I just used the tips from the video and got me some Rustoleum from ghettomart ( it did take 14 5/8 coats though) but it looks way better than any Rolls Royce or Porsche though!!!
I enjoy your vids and learn a lot from them. But I'm surprised to see the small circular pattern from the Duplicolor tip. Might be different there but here in the U.S. I use that paint because of it's durable finish and the blue tip with the wire pushrod gives a nice wide fan pattern. Plus, in my opinion, it's the most comfortable to use. Years ago Rustoleum switched from the blue tip to one they call the "comfort" tip. It's anything but comfortable!
with the spraycan fan, one could get a different nozzle, since the cans usually have a standardized cap, montana has awesome caps with a super wide fan, just order that cap for all the cans you have
Is this guy from another country like Australia or England perhaps? Maybe they don't do it like that there. You could just replace the one on the can I guess with the same one, pass it around.
LastHumansGarage your letting your coats dry to much...every ten minutes reaplly your coats...if you let the coats dry to long ,then you have to sand before second or third coat...the coats will stick better when still a little wet...5 or ten minutes is enough time for reapplying coats
@@jamesbrown1046 I suppose every time you go around the car it is time to do it again. I heard every 20 minutes. I suppose I need to do a few pieces at a time instead of the whole car. It takes longer than 5 or 10 minutes to spray a whole car.
You you go to artprimo or bombing science you can purchase caps for spray cans that will alter the fan of the paint. I recommend “fat caps” as the best way to spray paint is take your time apply very light coats every few minutes and build it up. Very time consuming and costly on large surfaces though.
Possible myth: You can paint an entire car with cans and have a less expensive and higher quality job then if you had it done at one of those quick one day paint shops (like Maaco).
Painted my car with rustoleum with spray cans and got 0 stripes and virtually 0 orange peel. I wet sanded and buffed/polished it looks almost professional. Put 2k clear on it and its been 2 years. 0 crack 0 fading and its my daily in the florida sun every day it sits outside. You can get a great end result if your patient. Cant beat it for under 80 bucks with all material. It worked for me. It can work for anyone else. Its all about the prep.
i like your presentation style fwiw. probably good you backed off the clicky sounds a bit, as per lots of requests, but you don't need to eliminate them completely
getting a paint job as good with bombs as a gun is not really alot of work. But for the cost you can buy a compressor air scrubber and a decent gun for the cost of the bombs. Considering your 12-16 oz can only has about 4-5 oz of actual primer/paint or clear lol. To do a whole car and look quality is very $$$$$...learned that lesson when I was 13 and painted my old ford ranger.
If you used to do "public art" you know that you don't have to depend on the cap that came with the can. You can buy individual caps....or at least you used to. The german caps used to have the widest spray but you did need to know how far to keep the spray to prevent drip.
I'm always amazed how much I learn, even stuff I didn't know I wanted to learn about. ;-) Wish you could "translate" your paint brand(s) to U.S. -but than life would be too simple Oh, Well, Spray On
Great and very helpful video. Thank you! Exactly today I've painted the bumper cover (plastic) and although 3 layers of primer laid down perfectly (as was seemed to the eye), the black paint over prime immediately started to give effect, where in very small areas, the paint just didn't want to lay. This made me very nervous, I did layer over layer, still same effect. At the end I let it all dry, and clearcoated (3 layers). Very disappointing. To correct this (to repaint) should i do all from beginning, starting sand paper, or could be enough to try to spray again black (and then clear coat)?
Quick tip - heat up your can... How? Tried it in the microwave and let's say it didn't work. 425F oven. Fail #2. Baby bottle warm water bath. Works! Lots of coats can result in a soft finish.
Great channel. Excellent knowledge. From someone who is a professional, I still find a lot to interest me. Constructively, turn off your fan while you talk. ;-)
Vicki k Gibson There are handles available for purchase to fit a spray can. I bought mine one at a Home Depot type store, but have seen them in other stores too. I’m sure they’re available online as well. The one I have works well; no more sore index finger.
I was told at a paint headquarters for light metallic, 3 metallic, 3 color and 3 clear, so I get 9. Hard as nails. 3-4 color how dark you want it and the coverage and 3 clear should be enough.
I know this is really old in internet time, but i'll ask anyway because i hope to clear something up. I've got an alu bike frame, i've sanded it down to bare aluminium and here's my thought process for what to do, please correct me if i'm wrong. I sand it to 400 to remove the rougher grooves Apply etch primer scuff it up with 800 wipe it down with motip degreaser apply my black basecoat scuff it up again, wipe it down, apply masking tape apply my blue metallic in the area i want then wipe it down and apply clear. This is correct? Or, do i need something else than a black basecoat for the blue metallic? Should i lay down some silver or other bright color and mask slightly inside this to create a barrier between the black and blue? Am i on the right path? yes it's a diy-rattle can job. I'm so scared to start.
As a finish color, over sanded primer, has anyone sprayed Rust-Oleum Matte Hammered Black #300607 for 2 medium coats, and finished it with two medium-light coats of Rust-Oleum metallic dark or navy blue? I want to have the hammered texture, but I can't find metallic hammered dark blue paint available anywhere. So I thought this would do. Both colors would be Rust-Oleum brand paints of same type. I'd apply each coat about 20 minutes apart in the shade of an open carport so each layer wouldn't be entirely dry, but not wet either.
Musik4soul777 for an engine cover you don't need high temp paint. Callipers for a road car you can use any auto paint. Callipers for a track car. Use 2K auto paint.
here's one for you, I'm going to spray two different clear coats. one satin over one colour and high gloss over another what's the best way to achieve a flawless finish with minimal raised edges that can cause one or the other to lift and peel??
At 10:10 you show metal conditioner being wiped over a motorcycle fuel tank to remove silicone contamination. Is that tank at the bare metal stage or does it have primer on it? I have never read / heard of metal conditioner being used to counteract silicone contamination so I am naturally interested in that as a solution.
What is the grit of sandpaper that you recommend for prepping a new surface? I bought 1000 and 1500 grit. Also how long do you wait between base coats and how many coats do you recommend? Do you use degreaser for a new surface before applying the color? Lots of questions but never done this before. thanks
With the paint type subject, you mentioned engine paint. Does that stuff really apply to high temps too ? Little skeptical about using anything else other than high temp paint on an engine or exhaust
What type of spray guy would you recommend for someone doing small body work on a truck for oneself that dosent cost a lot. Just painting a fender and a side of a pickup truck Thanks
Try a gravity feed spray gun. Something that has a fan and air adjustment dials. Depending on your paint choice, If 2k base or clear use a 1.3mm tip. Hope this helps
I'd say let it dry a month before washing it. Then apply something like f11 to it. Or another high quality synthetic wax. The clear costs job is to protect from uv damage but these new synthetic waxes are amazing like the commercial I sprayed my hood and the bottle slid right off. One of the few finishing products worth the money. I say wait a month because you want all the solvent vented away. If solvent is trapped under wax it will bubble up
I really enjoy the info in these vids, very useful. i have learned several things i have always wondered about rattle can paints. I have to say though it's kind of distracting watching you try to flex, a more relaxed approach would be more enjoyable to watch. I'm not trying to be rude, trying to give constructive criticism so your watchers can have a better experience.
You showed the lacquer peel bonnet issue then the fix was on a bike tank 🤔 Surely you can’t paint the entire car because you get a tiny bit of peel on one little edge or corner. I have some peel on small parts of my car when most of the paint is fine and buffs up well, no way I’m spraying the whole damn thing. Can you do a vid on fixing small area peel without painting a huge area ? Suppose it’s similar to painting a scratch 💁🏻♂️
I have got clear coat fail fom the factory job that started less than 5 years after I bought it new. Over half the car has been repainted nicely since my ex wrecked it good 8 years ago. It's a 2007 Honda Civic. How much time would it take to strip away the paint from less than half of the car's surface to repaint it ?
Spraying Dupli-Color from an aerosol on an overcast day that's threatening rain can "bloom" off a gloss paint. That is, the result will end up being a matt colour instead...
When I repaint a black car white, do I have to remove all old paint down to bare metal or can I just scuff the old paint and then do a base + clear coat?
I'd like to spray can paint on my wheel arches to match the car's color, currently it's matte, I believe it's got some protective paint on it. Please advise on how I could paint my wheel arches.
I think you have figured it out by now. But in case you haven't. Try sanding it down first. There are plenty of videos on you tube about doing rims or arches.
7:11 wait he says let the clear dry then you put your base coat?? I'm confused I thought it goes primer, then base, then clear?? Is he doing primer, clear, base, clear?
Can I use something like Rustolium to prime or paint thin plastic like a model car or airplane? I've heard automotive paints will warp and even melt thinner plastics. Thanks.
I'm pretty sure Rust-oleum has straight-on plastic paint. And now that I saw this video, I really have to redo the tailpipe on my daily driver. I don't want to put a tip on, and I stupidly clearcoated it before I let the enamel base cure. Uncured base on a hot exhaust = instant clearcoat failure.
so how about the durable of spray can? in my place indonesia too much painter using sun for it. yaa they using spray gun. but i wanna try a perfect painting surely. i want to try using spray can. in Indonesia best spray can is Samurai Paint. but how do it? i just have a little room yaa maybe too cold not strong enough for drying. thanks alot

Hey man getting closer to 100k subs! Congrats! Great video!
Thanks. Would love to get there by the end of the year.
I learned the most ever about paint from this one video Thanks Bro
Great advice on secondary painting over clear and scrap dead clear coat from UV too stuff
Awesome man, huge help, I really appreciate the tips👊🏾 I feel like I need to go out and do some good in the world! Thanks again.
Awesome info as usual mate! Hoping you can touch on rust repair someday...my Wrx wagon has some issues lol

for fisheyes in the paint from silicone you can actually add small bit of silicone additive to the paint and sorts it right out

my most common spray problem is the crackling earthquake type look as i spray my 4th or 5th coat. like a desert floor.

You should do a video of when yo use and what type of primer
Another great informative video.
Love the channel mate 🤙🏻🇦🇺. What air compressor is a good starting point? Would like to spray and use air tools with it. Cheers legends.
Thanks mate. For air tools you would want free air delivery of over 300lpm.
Great video! Really helpful. What about clear coat that is peeling off? What's the best way to deal with them?
Its not different spray cans that give you different spray fans but different spray caps .. :P
Yup and you can buy a selection of spray caps cheap off ebay or Amazon
StodOne he didn't need to go any further than he said as most buying cans are not going to know about changing the nozzle etc

Possible myth: You can paint an entire car with cans and have a less expensive and higher quality job then if you had it done at one of those quick one day paint shops (like Maaco).
I hope no one believes that
Painted my car with rustoleum with spray cans and got 0 stripes and virtually 0 orange peel. I wet sanded and buffed/polished it looks almost professional.

Best fan from a spray can man!
can you stand more widely? lol
Ha yeah man... Wait till next video ill stand SOoooo wide.
Are you doing that because of the camera angle or is it muscle memory because you often have to stand like this while spraying?
i like your presentation style fwiw. probably good you backed off the clicky sounds a bit, as per lots of requests, but you don't need to eliminate them completely
puppet _me He can stand as wide as he likes for me. Mmm Mmmm..
And keep clicking beautiful lad!

Cant you just change the tips on the cans?
Total noob here, but I know some cans have interchangeable nozzles.
Elias Bargee most cans do, sometimes in shaking the can and the cap falls off, it's funny but it doesn't do any harm either I just put it back
Great and very helpful video. Thank you!

Great channel. Excellent knowledge. From someone who is a professional, I still find a lot to interest me. Constructively, turn off your fan while you talk. ;-)
Great info bro , i like that you didn't just regurgitate what they teach in school , you show real experience and skills
*cick-point* wink ;)
why don't you use a spray can handle...that makes it much easier to spray and easier on your hand.
Vicki k Gibson There are handles available for purchase to fit a spray can. I bought mine one at a Home Depot type store, but have seen them in other stores too. I’m sure they’re available online as well. The one I have works well; no more sore index finger.
Also 6-7 coats are required, does this mean 3-4 base coats + 3 clear coats? Thanks for your videos, they really are world class.
I was told at a paint headquarters for light metallic, 3 metallic, 3 color and 3 clear, so I get 9. Hard as nails. 3-4 color how dark you want it and the coverage and 3 clear should be enough.
I know this is really old in internet time, but i'll ask anyway because i hope to clear
something up.
I've got an alu bike frame, i've sanded it down to bare aluminium and
here's my thought process for what to do, please correct me if i'm
wrong.
I sand it to 400 to remove the rougher grooves
Apply etch primer
scuff it up with 800
wipe it down with motip degreaser
apply my black basecoat
scuff it up again, wipe it down, apply masking tape
apply my blue metallic in the area i want
then wipe it down and apply clear.
This is correct?
Or, do i need something else than a black basecoat for the blue
metallic?
Should i lay down some silver or other bright color and mask slightly
inside this to create a barrier between the black and blue?
Am i on the right path?
yes it's a diy-rattle can job.
I'm so scared to start.
As a finish color, over sanded primer, has anyone sprayed Rust-Oleum Matte Hammered Black #300607 for 2 medium coats, and finished it with two medium-light coats of Rust-Oleum metallic dark or navy blue?
I want to have the hammered texture, but I can't find metallic hammered dark blue paint available anywhere. So I thought this would do. Both colors would be Rust-Oleum brand paints of same type. I'd apply each coat about 20 minutes apart in the shade of an open carport so each layer wouldn't be entirely dry, but not wet either.
Seems to me that a conical fan on an engine spray is what I'd want. Fan shapes for panels, conical for working around castings surely?
I will rather used sprayguns. I let my guns work for me not me working for them.
so if I were to paint my engine cover or callipers I wouldn't need high temp paint? I don't believe it but would love to hear what you have to say :)
Musik4soul777 for an engine cover you don't need high temp paint. Callipers for a road car you can use any auto paint. Callipers for a track car. Use 2K auto paint.

What's the best way to protect clear coat from UV attack?
I'd say let it dry a month before washing it. Then apply something like f11 to it. Or another high quality synthetic wax. The clear costs job is to protect from uv damage but these new synthetic waxes are amazing like the commercial I sprayed my hood and the bottle slid right off. One of the few finishing products worth the money. I say wait a month because you want all the solvent vented away. If solvent is trapped under wax it will bubble up
Can you use spray cans to paint a car? What kind of paint should be used?
Love your vids but I have to ask this. Why in soooo many of your vids are your legs spread and knees bent?
i just have to find a good clear coat. i'm still learning how to paint properly and im 13
Good on ya lad...wish I did that...hope it's still going well for you. 👍
great video, good info, thanks
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you thank you thank you!!
What is the color of that wheel its gorgeous
Thank you for the videos dude. Cool guy
I really enjoy the info in these vids, very useful. i have learned several things i have always wondered about rattle can paints. I have to say though it's kind of distracting watching you try to flex, a more relaxed approach would be more enjoyable to watch. I'm not trying to be rude, trying to give constructive criticism so your watchers can have a better experience.
Great video!!! Do you need a an apprentice?
You showed the lacquer peel bonnet issue then the fix was on a bike tank 🤔 Surely you can’t paint the entire car because you get a tiny bit of peel on one little edge or corner. I have some peel on small parts of my car when most of the paint is fine and buffs up well, no way I’m spraying the whole damn thing. Can you do a vid on fixing small area peel without painting a huge area ? Suppose it’s similar to painting a scratch 💁🏻♂️
I have got clear coat fail fom the factory job that started less than 5 years after I bought it new. Over half the car has been repainted nicely since my ex wrecked it good 8 years ago. It's a 2007 Honda Civic. How much time would it take to strip away the paint from less than half of the car's surface to repaint it ?
Awesome Video!
with the silicone boils, do you apply the same technique and products to plastic? I had this happen on a headlight casing made of plastic
Spraying Dupli-Color from an aerosol on an overcast day that's threatening rain can "bloom" off a gloss paint. That is, the result will end up being a matt colour instead...
once again great vid
When I repaint a black car white, do I have to remove all old paint down to bare metal or can I just scuff the old paint and then do a base + clear coat?
The later bit use primer. 👍
I'd like to spray can paint on my wheel arches to match the car's color, currently it's matte, I believe it's got some protective paint on it. Please advise on how I could paint my wheel arches.
I think you have figured it out by now. But in case you haven't. Try sanding it down first. There are plenty of videos on you tube about doing rims or arches.
Great.. nice video,thanks...:)
7:11 wait he says let the clear dry then you put your base coat?? I'm confused I thought it goes primer, then base, then clear?? Is he doing primer, clear, base, clear?
agree with these. good video
Can I use something like Rustolium to prime or paint thin plastic like a model car or airplane? I've heard automotive paints will warp and even melt thinner plastics. Thanks.
I'm pretty sure Rust-oleum has straight-on plastic paint.
And now that I saw this video, I really have to redo the tailpipe on my daily driver. I don't want to put a tip on, and I stupidly clearcoated it before I let the enamel base cure. Uncured base on a hot exhaust = instant clearcoat failure.
so how about the durable of spray can? in my place indonesia too much painter using sun for it. yaa they using spray gun. but i wanna try a perfect painting surely. i want to try using spray can. in Indonesia best spray can is Samurai Paint. but how do it? i just have a little room yaa maybe too cold not strong enough for drying.
thanks alot
13 Production it's very hard to find samurai paint in tangerang
I was told never to run the can for long stretches because the paint will build up on the nozzle and drip

If you warm up the paint in a bowl of warm water first, it will run through the nozzel better and you won't get that problem
Keep a paper towel handy to wipe.
got a mobile paint booth. What's the best way to heat in the winter so I can keep spray painting
Try a small electric room heater. I suppose being 2 years ago when you asked, you probably have it figured out by now.
