    I worked at a paint and body shop right out of high school with an actual paint booth, and I still cut and buffed every vehicle. I think you did a great job on your paint, and as far as ever knew in my time at the body shop cut and buff was just part of having a quality finished product

    • @MikeInBendOregon
      @MikeInBendOregon 17 дней назад

      It all depends on how good the painter is... A really good painter can lay material down like glass.
      Cutting and buffing is primarily a way to fix mistakes. Anyone can spray paint, but there aren't a lot
      of people that paint correctly... Before Mark started spraying material, I made a couple suggestions
      that would have all but eliminated all of the orange peel, thus eliminating the need to sand and buff
      the entire truck, but they weren't followed. But in his defense, at the time, everyone and their brother
      was posting suggestions so I can see where it probably got a little overwhelming.

    About a couple weeks ago I pulled into the parking lot of where I work and I saw this semi truck with the snowman style paint/wrap job on the trailer.
    The truck was just a regular conventional with a sleeper on but seeing the snowman trailer in the parking lot was something else.
    Pretty cool to see that on my way into work that morning

    As you put years into the ownership of that truck, you'll keep giving it a polish and knocking down a little texture every time. It's just material adding to the longevity of the paint job. Work on it until you're happy and then live with it. The only things you can really do is add material or remove material. If you're done adding material, you've got all the time in the world to remove whatever bothers you. Keep rolling, get it back on the road, and put one in the done column. You can always revisit.

    @johnmelling9950 18 дней назад

    Mark. As i said weeks ago, get some 3D ACA 510 compound. It will make your life so much easier. Ive used it alone with just a wool pad to take out orange peel on bad paint jobs. I would still go with the 1500/3000 wet sanding first before compounding though to get the best results. My job is detailing for used car dealers and im the one that has to fix the mess that the 'cheap' bodyshops make. I would also leave that paint longer to fully cure otherwise you can get fall back and the sanding marks you thought were gone can re-appear. When using the rotary with wool pad, you should add more tilt so your using the 1/3 outer edge of the pad to buff as thats the area that gives the most cut. . Obviously only do this on flat panels, not edges, and keep the machine moving but slow enough that the pad and compound can do their work. Holding the wool pad flat greatly reduces the cut. Dont be scared of it, that clearcoat is much harder than the single stage paints and you sort of need to show it who is boss. If you put the effort and time in, theres no reason you cant get that paint job so it looks close to 100% perfect.

    for a change 🙂. It's really hard for me not to point out mistakes and explain why they happened.
    It's just one of my character flaws.
    I don't do it to beat people up, I like to help people, but it doesn't always come across that way.
    I commend you for all of the effort you put into your projects, and for learning how to do new things.

    Twin Sticks. I was a trucker for 45 years and l was a damn good one. There weren't no load l couldn't handle. I was a pretty good wrench man too. I could make about any repair and bring my old trucks home X the hook truck. One thing l never could do was paint. It looked like a chicken got drunk and staggered all over the truck. You do an amazing job. Hurry up on that ole truck so you can get on the "Pork Chop Express" and the "Duke". Happy New Year❤

  • @jasonhaaksma8419
    @jasonhaaksma8419 18 дней назад

    A piece of glass with a sharp/broken edge works well for runs and sags in paint. Use a little water for lubricant and hold it flat against the panel sliding it over the run and it will only cut away the run.

    hey Mark. I wanted to share a tip for you to try. When I was taught how to buff paint, I was told to always keep the surface wet. Water spray bottle. like how you wet it down when you are wet sanding, use that same method when buffing. use that method for primary and final cut. even glaze coat/wax coat it is very effective. even when I put a basic coat of carnauba wax on my cars I always have a chaser bottle of water. it helps keep the polish wet longer.
    edit: sorry I should've added.
    primary cut with wool pad Milwaukee polisher
    secondary cut with medium cut foam pad Milwaukee polisher
    glaze or wax with a fine cut foam pad DA polisher

    Another option I've seen, apply body filler over the run and as you sand down the filler so will the run, which ultimately end up with a smooth surface and not ruin the surrounding area. My $.02

    Take razor blad3.. put two or 3 layers of masking tape on both ends of razor. It keep razor that thickness off paint no matter what. Run middle part over run. Scrape it down.. then run it with 1 layer of tape. Get it real close.. then block and wet sand the rest flat.. tape is safe way to keep razor blade off paint..less chance to gouge in

    Mark you don't have to use the polisher with the Milwaukee rotary..the denim works but there's 3 different grits of denim. ( Fine coarse, medium..
    Simply wet sand with 1000 1500 or 2000 grit on a flat surface. Which ever combination it takes the least effort to satisfy you.
    Then use the DA to polish it. Around 2000 rpm..If it doesn't look how you want use 3000 grit You want to go slow really slow in a criss cross ( take a 2' square section go up and down then go left to right. Wipe down. Should be polished enough .you don't need to do rotary and da...da is less risky and allows you to not burn through...watch videos of how auto detailing guys use their DA buffer...

    Looks like a nice haul from the mailbox there Mark.
    Much like water will eventually wear away the hardest rock denim is remarkably abrasive just very very slow. I have a very shiny bare steel pocket knife. It started out as a matte black finish when I got it new back in 2008 but 16 years in the back pocket of my jeans hopping in and out of trucks as well as bouncing along the road the last remaining bits of that matte finish finally wore away from constant butt polishing.
