What’s Good Fam, I’ve been professionally painting cars and Djing over 20 years. I watch your channel and learn so much stuff that I’m amazed at how great of a teacher you are for myself and others who may or may not know. I have a request for I’m having a helper with me that I’m trying to teach about blending colors, such as pitch and flop and so on I know you may have ran into issues where the color match but the flop is off or the pitch is on but flop is off throwing the whole car off .Thank you for what you do I’m a huge fan and respect you and what you do keep up the amazing work. I just wanted to give you your flowers fam they are well deserved and. Request a video on this topic for its hard for me to explain as well as you do . I thought I did a good job but I can see I must not .😂
👌👌👍👍👏👏👏👏 This is one of the most satisfying jobs. Takes long hard work and most of all PATIENCE! Surprized that you didn't get loads of flie's in the finish with the door being open?
Hey sprayway question. For us that live on rural country gravel roads would we be wasting time and money by putting maybe 4-5 coats of clear and 4 for flow coating to protect the from rocks and gravel chipping the paint
Appreciate you for willing to share so much, so many vehicles have been helped in that legendary paint booth! Always look forward to learning from you're videos... All of em
I was surprised to see the better results on the side with 1000 (wet) compared to 600 dry. I expected the 600 grit to be more aggressive in removing material, but it was not. Was the pad behind the 1000 grit more rigid? Love watching your work. At least I can see proper process and techniques in action, duplicating them is another matter entirely.
What if? What if you waited a week. Sanded it agian, then flow coated again? Is there a limit to clear coat coats? Back in the candy apple laquer days I would apply 15 to 20 coats of paint. Metalic, translucent, and clear. Can you do that with the modern poly urethane paint to get a super deep look?
If you cut through the flow coat clear you still gone see a halo on the first round of clear sprayed thats why id rather just do 4coats clear the 1st time rather than flow coat... but i dp find if i flow coat it does pop alil nicer
Beautiful work, I have a question, I have watched several high end painters who say flow coating is fine if you are burying graphics but when you lay down 2/3 coats and wait several days or weeks and then lay out 2/3 more coats it’s actually counter productive vs laying out 4/5/6 coats in one session with greater flash times in between because the first coats of clear act as a separate paint job from the last coats, so if you wet sand through to the first set of coats it will look like a burn thru or a halo and will show up, with that they say it wastes a lot of extra labor, tape, sandpaper ect that doesn’t need to be used if you just put 5 coats down in one session, there is a youtube video of a guy showing the 2 processes on one panel and it shows the halo when he cuts thru, likely you are not going to cut thru when you have 3 coats over 3 coats but many do 3 coats the 2 more, so that could be an issue, what are your thoughts on this ?
..I've mentioned this before, but man you gotta do something to stop all that trash from landing on your beautiful paintwork..!! You're gonna need a tungston block to knock off the peaks and a lot of hard work to get it back to smooth, then a good cut and buff. Got to hand it to you m8, you're not shy of hard work. How long would a job like that take.? Fabulous colour and a great car. You've done a great job. Well done,
The amount of dirt in this job probably means a flow coat would be mandatory to get a good job, but I would be doing a lot of cleaning on the spray area. Even a flow coat looks terrible if there is lots of dirt in it.
Generally, flow coats have less trash than the initial coats and are surely not as heavily embedded in the clear. Initial coats are usually thicker, hence the reason trash is embedded deeper into them. Flow coats are just to re-wet the surface to bring back the shine, and any trash at this point will be lightly embedded, much easier to buff out. Plus, the cut/buff isn't as time-consuming, imho after the flow coat and the added benefit of nearly zero orange peel (if clear is over reduced by 10-15 percent).
I’m flow coating the inside of my OBS Chevy bed and I sanded through the base coat on a few high ridges on the bed floor. I’ve touched them up with base coat with my air brush. Do I need to sand those spots of fresh base coat before I do the flow coat of clear?
Hey SpryWay I see videos all the time that that put on 2 coats of paint then they say there doing a Flow Coat, but its just there last coat of paint LOL, I've watching you for a while now and I know what a flow coat is thanks to you, I'm probably to lazy to actualy do one, but man it makes that paint POP, keep up the great work
Thank You for sharing your knowledge with us. Definitely Quality work. BTW watched you spray wearing a UofL sweatshirt. Shame to get it dirty. Ruining a UK shirt will be better lol. Keep up the great work.
I painted for years now I build pool Cues so I have a good background and painting, auto body painting and with wood you get shrinkage more so than a car I would wait two weeks or a month and wet sand and put the flo coat on. Then wet, sand and buff. That is the cats meow. There’s no better the clear lays on amazingly and you get that real depth after you buff the flow. You’re definitely doing it right you’re the one guy that knows his shit keep up the good work this channel fucking rocks you fucking rock I mean that from the bottom of my heart I really enjoy watching this channel and all your hard work. I hope you have a great Christmas And your RU-vid channel is bigger and better next year because you rock. There’s a trick to the flow put your spot panel clear underneath because high solids shrinks for a very long time. Yes, it’s more glamorous but that comes with a price shrinkage so your spot panel clear does all that in a matter of a couple weeks, you always want to put your fast under your slow, that’s the first rule of thumb and auto body . Then put your high solids down wet sand and buff that now you have that car show shine…
..It's just such a shame about all the debris. It really is a lot. It must be falling from the ceiling or being sucked in through the intake fans and pulled across the car by the extractor fans or something. Is the air that's coming into the workshop being filtered before it gets sucked in.? Such a shame but lovely colour and lovely car. I'm sure it will look fantastic when it's finished after all that hard work.
…I’M 71,WHITE..BORN IN NEW ORLEANS,LA. JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LIKE YOUR VIDS….RIGHT TO IT,NO “KANDY” COATIN IT! A SMART MAN MAKIN GREAT USE OF HIS 🧠….GODS’ ☝️PROUD OF YOU HOMBRE! 😉🫡🤝🏆
How many days after the first three coats of clear should you wait before sanding for float And how many days should you wait after last 3 coats of clear before cutting and buffing?
