This is the best video at explaining clear coat and blending. Thanks so much for posting this. I'm in the process of trying to fix chips in the paint on my 2013 Silverado. I guess Chevy has a problem with the base not adhering to the primer (bummer), and the shop wanted $3K to fix, which I don't have. I've done pretty well repairing the areas, but still need to clear, and that's been a little intimidating to be honest, but I think you've given me the courage to at least try....
Iam so glad that my video has inspired you and given you the courage to paint your truck. And thank you 🙏 so much for the kind words I appreciate it. Good 👍 luck with your paint job I hope it comes out beautiful.
As others have said, this is definitely the best video out there on how to use solvent to melt clear in. I’ll be doing a spot repair for a rock chip above my windshield and I feel good about doing it after watching this 👍
I always wondered about blending. Most others just say they blended. I ran across another video and found out about blending spray. But this one was more DYI friendly.
Thanks for the video this helped me so much. I didn't want to paint the entire panel. This will defff help me alot blending my widebody fenders I just molded on my car.
Thanks for this video man, I've been waiting to fix this area thats cracked on my mustang's quarter panel because I didn't understand how blending works. This video answered all my questions and I feel confident that I can do it now. Thanks and God bless!
Hands down the best video I’ve watched on this topic 👍🏻 I have a crease on my drivers door that’s about 3 inch from the edge, hoping I can get away with it on such a large panel 😂
Thanks for showing how to use the solvent to blend. I bought some but have been hesitant to use it because I wasn't sure how. Your video and description are clear and professional. Thanks for sharing,
DAMN. My Man is a SAVAGE! Clearly a consumate professional. I greatly appreciate the way he explained all of his techniques and why he was working in a very specific way. My Man explained everything so well, that after I finished watching the tutorial, I felt I could go out and easily apply the same techniques! Which, of course, is the furthest thing from reality! But that is the sign of an excellent teacher and a master of a craft; being able to explain a complex subject simply, so that the students can easily understand. Amazing video! 👍💯
WOW, thank you so much for such kind words. I really appreciate when my viewers have a great experience and get all of my knowledge from the explanations that I share in my videos. Thank you.
@@J.Lulo_ heck yeah! Keep up the good work you explained everything that I needed to see perfectly with the bridge and without the bridge so you don’t get line when you pull the tape off and how to melt the clear coat into the existing clear.
Gotta subscribe to all of my fellow painters. Nice job my dude! I’ve always been a Sata guy too, but a few years ago I started collecting spray guns and I’ve ran across some really nice ones… Walcom & Ani to name a few!
Nice 👍 collecting spray guns and being able to tryout different brands is really cool. If some of those spray gun makers would send me some spray guns to review that would be awesome. I love testing and reviewing new tools it’s super fun.
Ive had a lot of luck wetting the blend area with the blender before the clear and then again after. Also it helps to spray with the gun pointed away from the blend area to keep the overspay to a minimum
Thank you for taking the time to show and explain this 🤙 back in the day I used to do everything almost exactly as you explained but did not know about a “blender” I basically color sanded and buffed that blend area & on dark colors there was always a faint halo or faint visible edge to me anyway that people basically dont notice but it always annoyed me as a painter, just knowing it’s there. Never tried this and I am about to and excited haha. Basically if I wanted it perfect to me I’d clear the entire panel. It’s amazing how the blender “melts” / blends the edge without dulling the new clear and making it seemless with the old clear. Saves so much time and material etc. I wish I knew this technique decades ago when I did it for a living. Man it puts a whole new perspective on spot repairs.. I’m gonna look to see if you have some tri stage blending vids. I have a couple of tri stage blending tasks awaiting on my project soon and being original paint etc want to keep the painted areas minimal. Luckily it’s pearl white so more forgiving than some other colors but I need it perfect for this project, can’t wait to try it , thanx again main! Liked and subscribed , you get straight to the point , explain and show thoroughly, awesome 🤙🤙
Thanks for the kind words I appreciate. Iam glad you found my technique helpful and I hope it works out for you when you try it. Thanks for subscribing as well I appreciate it. I hope you enjoy the rest of my content. Take care and good luck with your project’s.
Thank you 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it. Iam currently not working at a shop so I don’t have that information. Sorry, I will let you know if that changes.
Nice! You explained things that every other vid I've seen on this glosses over (see what I did there?) Like where to stop sanding, where to stop clear. I've seen the bridge. I've seen the blending techniques. But no one ever explained where to sand to vs where to mask. Always wondered, do I sand all way to masked area, then wet sand to bring in blended clear back to gloss? How do I make sure clear doesn't paint over unsanded areas? You covered all that. Then there is the blending product that melts and blends clear. Never even heard of that!
I am a carpainter and litlebit older than yuo.nice to see video how to do it right.usually these videos to do something is not right.i use same method but only solvent in gun.not spray but spray seem to be easier way.
I was always wondering what "blending" means and how it's being done🤔 Looks clear now, good lesson for me, time to spray my own bumper instead of paying $$$. Thanks! 💪
I couldn't agere more with the previous post. I've been watching so many of these so-called smart repair videos because I'm in the middle of doing one. Finally, a "clear" (pun intended) explanation of where the sand ing ends, the grits, where the base ends, where the Clearcoat ends, & where to use the blender. I feel so much better now & ready to go! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you..... PS Seems to me that now the biggest hurdle is matching the base color. Does the color ususally match or do you have to make adjustments to the formula??
First I want to say Thank you 🙏 for the kind words I really appreciate it. Second, before you start putting paint on a car you should always check to make sure you’re color matches the paint on the car. Once you know the color matches, when you blend your bumper it should blend seamlessly into the color on the car.
Thank you 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it and to answer your question, you have to apply the blender right after you finish applying your second coat of clear.
Great video. Im still trying to get used to doing a clear blend. I have done a few that turned out well. I have a top part of a door that Im trying to blend. The portion where I stopped my clearcoat and burned the edges in looks good, but I'll do like you and spray a little blender a little further past my blend area. That won't look that good. Looks like it will fisheye and look dry. If i try to hand buff it, it starts to roll on me. Im not sure if my blender is bad or what, but it seems to dry and not completely dissolve.
Thanks 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it. Well make sure the area that you stop spraying your clear is sanded with at least a 1000 grit sand paper. You have to make sure your clear is blended right in the area where you finish sanding your blend area. Then right after your second coat of clear coat you apply your blender. P.S. Make sure you don’t base coat all the way to the edge of where you sanded for blend leave at least 12 inches between the base coat and the clear blend. And always make sure to keep your clear blend in the smallest area possible so it comes out smooth.
Awesome video! Like earlier comments, I've also watched a bunch of these videos, and yours makes it easy to understand, so good job on that! I was under the impression that I needed to use blender on the base coat too, but I see you only use it on the clear. Would you use blender on the base coat if you were working with metallic paint?
Thank you for the kind words I appreciate it. The base coat blender is different than the clear coat blender. I have a video on how to blend metallics if you want to check that out.Here’s a link to that video 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e0HRcgbAOhQ.htmlsi=lm9O3LW3-Lws-0Nz
Nice explanation. I am going to use this to attempt some spot rusr repairs on my own using professionally mixed spray paint. Maybe I missed it, but does the clear need to cure before using the blender? Can I use the blender on clear that has cured?
Thank you 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it. And to answer your question, you have to apply the clear blender right after you apply your last coat of clear coat.
GREAT tutorial ! Best paint technique lesson I have seen so far and I have binged through a lot of them. Keep this style going and your channel will grow huge. Would you dare to use blend spray to correct/flatten lets say,,, oversprays, dry spots and what seem bound to become too coarse orange structures ?
I wouldn’t use blend spray for dry spot or orange peel but I have used it when I notice a dry spot somewhere on a panel after I finish and I just want to clear that spot. What I do is clear the dry spot that I noticed and then I spray the blend spray in that spot to avoid having to spray the whole panel or re-clear the whole paint job.
I just found your channel and agree that this is the best explanation on clear blending, my only question would be about the buffing process on the blend area? I usually have to cut and buff because of dust, can the blend area be buffed also?
Thank you for the kind words I appreciate it. Yes it can be buffed but it only needs a light buff with rubbing compound and a good glaze and the blend will disappear.
Masking up certain parts of the car,Also if over spray with base coat and you get a spec in the paint how to get it out then spray with clear the little problems that can happen cheers.Can you use Clear for all base coats,plus 2.1 ratio or setup base coat.cheers.
I have most of those videos on my channel already. If you go to my channel you can check all the videos I’ve already made and I cover most of those topics.
Thank you 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it. And I have a video that I made with spray can paint where I sand and mask a bumper for a smart repair blend. Here’s a link 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ww5WjFNeMqs.htmlsi=7bwX8VU89SRmHKW-
At last a clear explanation about how to blend the clear. Most talk too much about the paint and not enough about the actual blend area. Thanks man xx - Can I just clarify - You only clear over the sanded area? No clear (apart from overspray) on the shiny?
Nice stuff if it doesn't fade away in time. Unfortunately i cant find Axalta 790 where i live. Closest thing seems to be Standox smart blend plus. Made by the same group. I hope is the same thing
Thank you 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it. And yes hopefully it doesn’t fade over time. But it’s a city car and with time iam pretty sure that bumper will be replaced before anything happens to that clear blend. City car bumpers get a lot of abuse and damage.
Yes blend#9 does work well I used in another video that I made. In this DIY video I use blend#9 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ww5WjFNeMqs.htmlsi=r1ffkjVcN_B8l_v7
You just give it a light buff with a little bit of compound and glaze. Depending on how good your blend comes out , you might even be able to do it by hand.
