Great video. FYI, don't worry about what others say about you, we all know that you are doing this experiment for us DIYers. Although you are a professional, we thank you and appreciate your taking the time and go through all that work just for us. I purchased a bumper cover for my 2008 Honda Civic, did all the right things prior to painting the basecoat. I bought rattle cans from two different companies to match the car's paint (NH701M Grey metallic) and neither matched the original paint, it came out too grey. I ordered 4 rattle cans from another company and awaiting delivery, God knows how long that will take, and I'm hoping for a perfect match. I know I've spent more than it would have cost if I had it sprayed professionally, but I'm determined to do it myself and have it come out awesome. Thanks for listenting to me vent, and I do thank you for your videos, awaiting the basecoat video.
Thank you so much for your videos. I've never painted before however, I found a cheap Honda civic for my daughter to use for college but needs a minor paint job on a quarter panel. I needed a cheap fix in other words. This helps immensely. Thank you once again.
Marco for the win!!! Always droppin dimes. Man I would like to see this process with a HomeRight SprayMax. It's way better than the HF unit and you can get it for about $100. That would be a worthwhile project my friend!
This was interesting.I'm anxiously awaiting part two;I primed my car with Eastwood roll-on filler primer.Still have a bunch of sanding to do. Let's see what kind of 'magic' Marco has up his sleeve,lol.
For primer I'd definitely suggest it. 2k and feather fill have to be sanded anyway and the point is to get it on. Spend the money on a little more expensive unit and I think it could honestly be a dedicated primer system ( not sealer) and just use a lvlp or hvlp for base and clear
Wow, this is some serious stuff! I mean any man that has a garage door opening clipped on his shirt and sprays cars with Harbor Freight electric sprayers is a master auto body painter. 🤫🤭
One more time cheap Harbor Freight cup gun but it is a positive pressure cuff that's adjustable so it forces the primer through the tip not just suction
Thanks for another great video! Quick question: I just sprayed some speedokote bright white base tonight but ran out of time for clear - how long do I have to get the clear on?
It looks good enough to me, specially considering that high build primers are meant to be sanded down at least a little bit, I'd say water sand it with a 600, 800 and them 1000 grit and compare the smoothness.
I'm going to do this....James aka Rustoleum can master did this...hmm... thank you for the video...my question, how long can I ride around with primer? does it need to be sanded after the 2nd coat???
Listen to this I seen in another video Harbor Freight sells a cup gun but it has a positive pressure cup that's adjustable all in one with a large tip for the spray tip and they're cheap
Nice ! What products do you need from us ? Want some single stage or primer ? If you order on website www.speedokote.com Select me as your sales rep ! (Marco )
I completely appreciate and respect your experiment with an electric sprayer. Literally cringed the whole time 😬 but at least you were too 😂 I wonder how long until the top spray companies are cranking out cordless guns?
GOOD INFORMATION I have done a lot of research on electric paint guns and want to pass it on to you. I found a gun on Amazon for around 40 dollars It is a YATTICH YT-191. HVLP. THIS GUN COMES WITH 6 NOZZLES!!! 1.2 1.5 1.8 2.0 2.5 and 3.0. It aslo comes with a viscosity cup. I will be using this gun to paint a 23 t bucket roadster that I am building. I hope this information helps you
That’s sort of an answer to my dilemma. I’d have to buy a larger compressor, hoses, guns, regulators,etc and I would only have 2 vehicles to paint. All of it would be sitting around collecting dust. They’re both older vehicles that could use a fresh coat of paint. This might just work better, because I could find other shit to paint afterwards.
Another tip would be to use a cup gun but you put your primer in a plastic bag then you put it over the straw in the cup gun then you put a rubber band around it therefore you do not have to clean it you just throw away the empty plastic bag
Thank you for doing this experiment!! I’ve been wondering if it’s possible with this cheap harbor freight gun! I mean anything is truly possible but you know what I mean! Lol
Question my good sir... I want to primer my car like you did in this video exactly, with the same gun and all, as well as the primer. Do I need to buy that "Urathane grade reducer fast?" Ive done all the body work and I just need to make sure on this primer beforehand
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 Oh cool, so how many watts is this spray gun use and how noise it is? I hope it is no more than 60db. If it is little bit higher then that's okay with me.
I did this with the electric gun and found out if you clean the gun when u get the car halfway done it won't spit at the end like that it's kind of unconventional but it did put a pretty good paint job on my pickup ,,,u know for a electric gun ,no one knew I used a electric gun ,,,there better than what I thought they were anyway ,,,great content dude keep on painting
I would never try and even ask someone to spray my car or truck with any airless spray gun. I just think the paint quality would not live up to my expectations. I just don't think a great paint job will work. Now sure you might end up with a spray that will probably need a ton of wet sanding to get that finish to look great. I cant wait to see part 2 and see the outcome with this. I pray for anyone that attempts or does a job start to finish with a airless spray gun. Keep up the Great work and Content.
Yea we will all see. This has never been done before with base coat clear coat system. Buddy of mine James over at Monroe motorsports did it with tractors paint and it came out good
When I first saw you pouring that body filler on my immediate thought was wtf is this dude doing...till I saw the close up of those golf ball dents all over the roof. Props to you for doing this. Idk if I would have the patience lol. Also with the spray gun, that primer went on pretty thick after the first coat. Do you think further spray pattern would have prevented some of those runs? Great job man!
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 oh thats right the nardo gray. I forgot I watched both. Too bad it died. Definitely saw the potential but i guess longevity is question. Even for one use this is pretty damn good for the price
Can you do a video of painting a car/fender with the new cordless air sprayer from HF it’s battery operated and I’m sure many would love to see the results
I have the same paint sprayer. I used it last it to paint my fence. I cleaned, probably not good enough. I took it out, attempted to paint on something I was working on, it didn’t work. I cleaned thoroughly inside out but still doesn’t work. Motor makes the sound the nothing sprays out. What could possibly have gone wrong? Any suggestions? Or should I just buy a new one?
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 haha I just did. I figured it’s not going to work. Tossed it out in the garbage and ended up getting another one. Thanks
I have a Fuji q5 platinum...that thing is amazing for what it is. It can automise automotive paints very well and I managed to get barely any orange peel at all with speedokote clear coat. I have a video of it on my channel. It's a turbine sprayer as well. Definitely much more expensive. But yeah...
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 it's incredible. I highly recommend it. It is VERY good for mobile automotive painting. I think you would benefit from it greatly
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 I have a few videos of it on RU-vid on my page. Not a bunch. But gives you an idea of how it works and how minimal the dust is.
I love my Earlex 7005 and the pro 8 gun,sprays everything.And the turbines lay the paint so soft with hardly any overspray.If you have problems with orange peel,try reducing a little more and use 0.8 or 1.0 and up the pressure.
Yea there good to honestly. These are super hard to clean I usually use them 2x then throw it in the trash go buy a new one. Now a days you spend more money on solvent trying to clean something vs just throwing it away 😂😂 GOOD OL INFLATION BUILD BACK BETTER.
Slightly, I was playing around the whole time with distance and seeing how the paint laid. Normally i would grab a test panel but this entire car was basically the test panel 😂
Just dont get used to it too much :D ( Sometimes I am fed up, why house painters earn so much according that the do not work so precise as I in the miller machine/ lathe ... same with mason guys)
Hey bud these are subscriber exclusive only no website If you want to order one I can give you my email there 189.99 shipped for free ready to spray out of the box
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 next time hah. Ya know the Plastidip Dyc kit comes with an Electric Sprayer. Dunno if you ever messed around with peelable paints or not.
Honestly you can't do shody body work and poor paint technique and then blame poor result on cheap paint paint sprayer etc what you should have done was taken a junk fender put a piece of tape down the middle and practiced on both side using different tips distances and pressure until you were happy with the results to address orange peel then paint the car
Aahhhh yes .. if you actually paid attention to the video you would notice I explained this his a Honda civic from 2007 with a rebuilt title and about 7000$ worth of hail damage . I WAS OPEN ABOUT HALF A** THE BODY WORK . I got it straighter than what it was and rolled with it. If this car doesn't meet your standards. Check out some of my other videos where I have gotten cars 99% straight and 3-5 coats of show clear.
Omggg😂 look that Guy… your paint gun shoot very too much paint , your spray are too high 😅😂😂 for a car you need very little spray… i doo thé same thing but… very pro job with electric wagner paint gun … and thé job are totally perfect wit very Tiny small spray…😮
Dude what are you doing? Leave this type of work to the pros. Unless this is some kind of parody of all the youtube hacks out there, then keep up the good work.
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 I couldn't watch the whole thing! It was cringe! Plus everyone in the comments was all "dude awesome work, dude it looks awesome, omg so nice" lol. How am I supposed to think otherwise?
@@cryMoreLoL I'm always willing to learn, but at the end of the day bud, everyone does this trade slightly different, there's a million ways to the top of the mountain and I'm damn near there bud. I own my own body shop CASH all 9000 square feet of it. I have lots going for me and you can't argue that with 0 paint both I get some decant jobs man.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. Required reading for real pros!
