I have had great luck when I polish and drop off a fuel door from a vehicle for a match. Then I open the can at the store, dip a stir stick in it and go outside to compare the 2. Thanks for all the tips and tricks on this channel 🤙
Hey trigger, I myself paint out of a warehouse and I don’t have a paint room. What I have done over time is accumulate different colors suck as yellows, blacks, reds, course metallics, fine metallics and pigment like that and I always use these to get the paint I get from the paint store to match almost as perfect as I can and in order to make it works out I always blend the adjacent panels to insure a “perfect" job. At least that’s what works best for me. Excited to see what other suggestions followers have to make things easier. ✌🏽 paint on brother 💪🏽
Brilliant and extremely useful info. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge. In years past, I experienced the exact problems you address here. Thanks again, you earned a Sub.
Thank you sir glad the video helped. Be sure to check out my main channel " The Triggerman" where get much more in depth into automotive refinishing. Thanks again and welcome to the channel 💪🏼🤙🏼
Hey it's my man Mr Trigger doing his stuff in the lab😁today is a nice day as it's a bank holiday here so we all get a day off work, only problem with that is I don't work these days so when do I get a day off🤔🤷♂😂 Great video as always brother, I love these extra vids you do on this channel as it's more relaxed and we got to listen to some lovely dreamy music while the master laid the clearcoat in said lab😎sorry but I don't have any tips or tricks on getting the correct colour but I've never heard of your idea of getting half the paint in the standard variant and half in the popular alternative👏👌 You never fail to amaze me and amuse me Trigger, it's a shame we are so far apart as I recon we would get on ok mate🙏👍John UK
Heyyyy what up John thanks my man. It's a holiday here too "memorial day" just relaxing for a few then off to the gym. Glad you're enjoying the vids brother. Good change of pace from the regular channel 😎🤙🏼
Nice one trigger, its an interesting topic to talk about the paint variation. Some paint code will have too many variations. Ive seen some older painters used to get some toners colors from paint shop like yellow, red oxide, blue and green. Whenever the paint not matched and they will start tinting it. Like add a little yellow to make it yellower, add green to kill the reddish and etc. its just something that need time to learn and it really makes life easier.
I've only done a couple of blends, but you're spot on about variants. I've even had different techs at the same shop mix the same variant off just enough for the tone to be slightly different. I plan to hopefully take on some side jobs soon for full resprays, but most definitely will check the comments for tips in case I'm forced to do blends .. Good info, Trig!
That's a great idea on getting prime and another variant yes talk to your paint store guy you get good with someone there I've always bring in a gas door or something so they can match it,also do a spray out card first then can judge how close it is Great video triggerman
Thank you John glad you enjoyed man. Yes it seems like nowadays the guys at the paint store are a lot more helpful these days, if you would walk in there back in my day and tell him to match something up they will look at you like your crazy 😂
YEAH TRIGGERMAN, WHEN YOU SAID TO BE A CHEMIST,I SAID WHY NOT WITH THESE GUNS,WORKS ON ALL AEROPRO AND THE EASTWOOD GUN YOU HAD IN YOUR VIDEOS, SO JUST ABOUT ANY GUN CAN HAVE THIS,IWATA WAY AHEAD OF THE TIME,THEY JUST NEED TO WORK ON THEIR BUILD TO BE LIKE SAGOLA
If I have a paint that’s slightly off I adjust my psi to change the shade of the color. If I bump up the psi the color gets lighter if I lower my psi the color gets darker. I’ll use a spray out card and tape into sections and spray those sections according to the psi settings. I adjust by 3 psi either up or down and see which gets me close to a blend able match
WHAT'S UP TRIGGERMAN, another good video, I like how you experiment with the materials, speaking of that,before I heard about the porphis guns,I experimented with aeropro, I purchased 2.5 rongpeng cap,needle and Nozzle, paid$80 for a split nozzle, put it on the A610/yt160❤
Trigger I do have a good paint supplier however I am a mechanic by trade I'm new to auto body game I spray out of my garage a little more harsh environment then where you are spraying at but a little cutting and buffing may help love the videos love the tips keep up the good work.
Yes a mechanics environment is more harsh than a dedicated paint area, it's actually completely opposite with all of the oils, lubricants, silicones so if you're pulling that off and getting decent jobs that's awesome. And if a cut n buff is the worst of it then Spray on brother spray on 🤙🏼🤙🏼 thank you for watching 😎
@@PaintsByTrigger Opel Z20R, it’s black but it can pull to the blue, purple, red, green, yellow, and for example blue shade have 6 cards. Not sure if you have that color under GM badge in US. Other one is LB9A VW-Audi white. Had one in the shop that had 2 panels in same color, spent about 7 hours with paint guy so we can mix something that can blend in the panels that I need to do so it doesn’t look ugly, we started with 18 white cards with different variances from BASF, we were blinded after 7 hours of looking in white paint.
Around my area you can usually bring an section of the car in with you then they can spray swatches and make it match but can take 2weeks to get it back so you pay in waiting for it !
@@PaintsByTrigger yah that's to get an exact match and I wounder how many times it takes and how much paint for them to do it but I've asked before and they said up to 2 weeks with certain colors, just crazy 🤪
Man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I had that same mistake not too long ago with that maximum one way I ended up getting it to work is trial and error on mixing some paint I already had painters will always have left over paint from other projects I’ve got close with that method and to blend it in I use my speedokote blend 👌🏾
Oh yeah I remember, I saw that video. Like a reddish orange Nissan. Yeah man this method sure would have helped for that. Those colors are always tricky
High speed on the highway would normally cause that 😂😬 sometimes a sealer could help. Or even a light coat of adhesion promoter. But that's a tough call. I don't get much of that and I don't seal or add adhesion promoter so I'm not sure, maybe quality of the paint base or clear.
Excellent video, very informative! Triggerman, I need some advice on a color I have in my head but can’t seem to find. I’m looking for a burnt candy copper color but have yet to find anything that fits the mental image I have. In your opinion what would be a better idea, use a plasti dip type paint or do an actual paint? Dark base, or white base? Any help you could give me would be very much appreciated! Thank you for all the content and information you put out for all of us peoples watching you!
You're more than welcome brother, how about the 3 stage sunset orange then add some red to it or copper pearl 🤔 amzn.to/3R0DFmm Get creative become your own chemist. Just document everything.
That's my favorite Porphis spraygun! I recently ordered the 1.3 vs nozzle, needle, and aircap for it! I'm trying to see what that one do! The design of it is sweet! You ever double coat the 1st coat then run over it one last time for a flatter finish or vice versa?
I remember you looking this one. Yeah it gets busy. And at times I double coat the hood especially is I'm moving faster than I should be lol getting ahead of my self then I'll double coat it then come back with that last coat slowly and go ham on that ass 🤙🏼
Good shit my boy! Man that was always my biggest hurdle when I was starting out and doing side work , and a lot of times I wouldn’t notice the mismatch until it was too late lol what code is this ?
Trigger I was just asking garage noise this question I had to pass up a 2020 Toyota Tundra cause I have no way to get the color right cause we know when you buy from the paint stores
Hey Trigger, Laying down primer, sealer and base what tips do you use. The dudes at NAPA in Palmerton PA are solid. Passing info along.. When purchasing anything at auto parts store remember to ask if they have any automotive paint looking to get rid of.. You'll be surprised.. 💪🤞👍
I use the same size tip as the base gun, but you could go 1 size smaller of you're trying to avoid excessive peel in your finish. And thanks for the tips my man. I'm sure they'll help some guys out there 🙌🏼♥️
@@rockycaruso387 no I've never used it. But I hear lots of guys complaining about it. Fades after a few years. And most of the clear is acrylic which doesn't hold up. So it's nothing I personally would ever spray.
@@rockycaruso387 any of the well-known brands from PPG, DuPont, Sherwin-Williams, just ask them what type warranty they give. Some are 3 years, 5 , 10 and lifetime. Then get what you feel fits your budget.
whats good trigger. i have a question please help. how long does it take to paint a 2004 nissan altima. thats the car my mom gave me and im trying to get it right. i love this car. her favorite color is purple. any suggestions brother.
Depends on your grind. I painted my infinity q50 in 4 days after work removed all doors and hood by myself. Changed to color inside out. So I'm gonna say 4 days start to finish.
@@PaintsByTrigger good afternoon trigger hope your day and family are doing well. thank you for the information and your gift. i will honor painting my car using your product. im very happy with meeting you. not alot of real out their so i keep to myself and my family. the next time i work on my car i will try to make a video to post. i need to fix my radio so i will try to make it then. take care brother and see you at your next video. thank you
Hes a bad Dr. Heres what you do! Remove the gas lid or any part Take it to the paint store. Ask the clerk to see the variant chips on your pnt code. Go outside and find the one that best matches. Give him the variant # and chip card. If your but painting and does not match. Take the car to the paint store with your paint and ask the clerk to help you tint your color in better. This is how we do at the shops with heated downdrafts and full mixing systems. Oh dont use paper to nib your base coat, use a plastic razor blade made for nibbing.
