Here to make some fun videos and hopefully help some people learn along the way. I will try to upload as many full length videos as possible and create new content as much as possible. If you have any request or questions feel free to reach out any time. Also will be uploading many shorts to the channel! I spray Axalta Coatings. Spies Hecker HiTec to be exact. I work in a very busy and fast paced collision center. We all do things a bit different so if my way is not exactly as yours that's ok. We are all in this together and I can only hope that any tips or techniques I have can help the next person. We all have room to learn.

Hi Mick, beautiful colour and a beautiful finish from the clearcoat which went on very flat and glassy, I do like the candy reds more so than the pearl 3 stage colours I think my fav is the 46V Soul Red Crystal👌 It's great to see another video from you brother as it's been a while since your last upload, love to see more when you can Mick👏🙏👍John UK
Like your content man although it’s hard to hear you sometimes. I sprayed spies and glasurit solvent for about 12 years. For almost 2 years I have been doing mostly body work at a shop that sprays sikkens autowave waterborne. The painter is going on vacation so I will be painting next week. I’ve sprayed here probably 10 times or so thankfully with no problems but I know I will run in to something sooner or later. If you have any tips for me on the water base I’d greatly appreciate it. Is there a wet bed I can use? Any tips on the sikkens line in general would be great to know too.
I prefer this method it's slightly different from Axalta but it's easier and less complicated, Well done and nice finish also nice smooth transition. Hoping to see you do a 46v
It was very difficult to hear your voice due to the mask and vent noise in the background. You should have did a voice over after finishing this video. I did hear you state you are going to blend? Looks like you did a total paint-over. No blending. Sorry, this video did nothing for me....
Hi Mick, it's great to see another video from you as it's been a while since we saw you so welcome back👌the basecoat went on really nice with the 3300 I have heard that it's a good all round gun which I think you used for the clear as well👏thanks for sharing and I hope you can do some more videos soon🙏👍John UK
Super like from me I have a small mark on my car bonnet and I have put some primer on it will I have to use a wet bed in a small area and then base coat paint and clear coat paint
I think you're talking about his wet bed gun. We spray it in our blend areas to basically make our color atomize better for a smoother looking blend. The wet bed itself is pretty much transparent so it doesn't leave anything behind when it flashes off
Hello, _roughly_ what do you think it would cost to paint a 06 Subaru STI in World Rally Blue Mica (code 02C)? Exterior only(no engine bay) I was quoted 16K by one shop but that seemed a bit high. Do you think that's correct or is there a smaller ballpark figure that would be more reasonable?
That will never match, unless you put whatever was on the fender, on the door under the silver. I have painted for 28 yrs. 3 yrs with axalta. All paint needs the same color under the basecoat on each panel.
Not a good demo at all. Your 1/4 had sealer and blend panel did not. Mistake right there. Then you wet bed the blend panel and blend the door with a 1:1 color/clear base and get color all the way to the front of the door. If that car matches when assembled. You got lucky. You are showing bad habits. Outside. The 1/4 wont match the blend panel and the blend panel won't match the front door. Unless you get lucky. I doubt the trunk or bumper will match either. You always need the correct G base formula under all new panels for Proper coverage. Even on the blend panels. Again. You may get lucky but it's bad habits and you will run into problems
