First off, always use a block when sanding otherwise the sandpaper will cut more material under your fingertips. Prep sol is essential before painting. It promotes adhesion by removing oil and grease. When you use tack rags, work in one direction. If you work back and forth like he did, the captured dirt will be left behind on the panel. Rotate the tack cloth so the inner surfaces are used too. When you squeeze the trigger on the paint can, don’t start painting in the middle of the panel. Always start off the edge and finish off the other edge. Mask those areas you don’t wish to paint. If you use newspaper, be wary of the small holes found in newspaper. I use butcher block brown paper. If you paint the first coat in a horizontal direction, paint the next coat using vertical strokes. On a metallic job, the final coat is known as a fog coat and is not directional. Wear a painter’s mask. Cancer is not fun. Don’t paint outside. Orange peel is caused by too much material applied too quickly. The first coat of rubbing compound is coarse. You can also use 1500 grit wet sand.The second and third application of rubbing compound uses a less abrasive compound.

I am a retired Auto Body and paint specialist and I have to say that I am impressed. Doing all that using only hand sanding must have been excruciating! You also pulled off the painting aspects of it, using spray cans! Back in my day, they had spray cans, but no one seriously used them to effect a base/clear spot repair! I am assuming they have come a long way with the formulation of paints to pull that off. We mixed all our colors peruse, and They have been base/coat, clear/coat for years. We always added a catalyst to dry and cure the final clear coats. When I started painting in the early 1950's we had alcaid Enamels and Nitrocellouse Lacquers. The lacquers went on kind of like what you did in your video and dried fast, and finally polished out to blend with the old paint. I'm saying that spot repairs could take place in the middle of a painted area, you didn't have to paint a whole panel then. You did have to have basic knowledge of matching colors, but that is a whole nother topic. GREAT JOB!

I should video tape it and see if there is a difference. I rather see mistakes and how to correct it then a perfect job. Thanks brother once again.

I will have to get it fixed professionally because the paint on my truck is a very specific color that is hard to match. On the same week, someone rear ended my bumper.

Lol ....good effort! I painted and compounded my entire car a few days ago and it looks like it just came from the dealer’s show room. You took a lot of unnecessary steps and you lost me when you pulled out that can of spray paint 😅. You’re a brave and resourceful man! Very good effort.

Exactly. If there is one thing I have learned in life and marriage it is you have to be careful what other people know you can do. If they find out you can repair body issues and paint, then everyone will want you to help them.

What a nice job you did. I am impressed. A few yrs ago I went to a body shop and ask them for quote for repair on my front bumper with a few scratches marks. They wants $1500 for the repair because it's required to replace the whole bumper. I told them no thank you. What a rip off. I would be more then happy to pay $250-300 for touch up job. So I said hell with it. I drive with a few scratches on the bumper.

Yep. My wife's car had to go get painted recently from when someone hit her. I asked if I could pay them while they had to paint out to also paint the hood and they wanted $1200 to paint the hood even though they were already painting the bumper and quarter panel. It's a good business apparently.

I'm a DIY like you and you already know this , mask off the car more....or apply fresh wax on the areas you don't want overspray. then when wet sanding, go in a linear fashion not round circles. Linear scratches are easier to correct with polisher than circles. looks pretty damn good..
@ClintHolland

Great tips. I definitely didn't know that about the linear motion and using wax sounds like a brilliant idea. Thanks.

Anyway, thanks for this excellent video ..detailed and well explained.

As a novice do it yourself person myself, this looks fabulous! Like you, when I do jobs without the aid of a professional, we tend not to do all the steps a professional service would do to produce a seamless finish simply for the lack of knowledge. But like you, I am only interested in making the issue less noticeable. With that said, if I were buying your vehicle, your mishaps would not detour me from purchasing it because they are damn near invisible, and that is the point of home repairs. Excellent job, wish I had a guy at home like you who was not afraid to take on a job like this.... oh wait,... I'm that guy!!! LOL. Thanks for sharing.
