Very good, simple to follow, and informational. I bought 3 paint products (base paint, pearl paint and some medium reducer) to paint a small area on my wife's SUV. The paint vendor was very vague about what to mix and how much. You video made it all very easy to understand, and why the ratio are what they are. Thank you very much!

@Mechaniclyfe
3 жыл бұрын
Depending , you can use either epoxy or self etch to bare metal. With some epoxy primers you can go straight to Basecoat, but there is a window to be able to do that, after that window it must be sanded Before applying Basecoat. High build primer can be used for Body panels that had body work done. If the panel is nice and flat with no dents, you could even use a sealer before applying Basecoat or sand and apply Basecoat right on top of the original paint as long as the paint wasn’t peeling .again depends on surface and body work needed.

15+ years ago I used to do on site auto body. Was mostly bumpers for dealerships so used cars looked less banged up for sales. We would custom mix the paint for each vehicle by looking up the paint code and entering it into an app on a blackberry. The app would give us all the mix ratios for each paint and metal flake by weight starting with the most used in production and then other mixes that were used during that year. I had made an entire rack to separate out the colors and flakes by their number. Does anyone know what the app was or one like that? I have been curious about doing some custom stuff in my spare time since I miss doing it but not enough for a full-time job

@Mechaniclyfe

Everything should be leveled during body work and primer stage, then basecoat will be applied on top of your chosen primer/primer sealer, basecoat should be nice and smooth and allowed proper time to dry before clearcoat. If there is a problem such as dust or bugs or heavy orange peel in the base coat stage you can sand the basecoat lightly and reapply more basecoat before applying clear.
