Got it in my mind to paint my truck, been watching videos about painting. Wanted to practice before I actually started. You gave me an idea never thought to test on a filing cabinet. Now I can sand ,prime ,paint, clear,wet sand and polish...then see the results of it . Thanks bro!!!
I used ICI 2K paint in the late 70s early 80s before basecoat and clear became the norm, solid colours were okay to spray but the metallics were a nightmare trying to not get tram lines and blotches, you literally had to go over and over the panels trying to get it to flow out and get the metallics sitting properly 🥵🤬. By good luck there wasn’t to many metallic paint finishes in them days. I don’t know what single stage paint is like nowadays I’m not in the trade anymore, I suppose it will be a lot lot cheaper than water base and clear coat so would be okay for someone wanting a cheaper respray , anyway keep up the good work,I really admire how you can turn out the jobs you do without a spray booth, although I think some painters that work in spray booths think they can get of with less cleaning and wiping panels, but really you have to be just as thorough as you are in your garage. 👍🏴
Amazing spraypaint! Love a hot climate and its a nice and beautiful place where you live. Next month the summer will be start here in Northern Europe. God bless and thank for sharing hermano! 🙏🏼🤝
Imma try my hand at single stage again. I have two gallons of this stuff that I have used once since I started out like 3 years ago. No runs please (Fingers crossed)
Nice job , yeah if you live in a hot climate like i do Vegas that will not last past the summer. lol They look all dusty faded when they start going away on you .
I am painting an older truck project so it does not have to be perfect. But my question is this: Do you need to shoot sealer before single stage or can I just fine sand the original paint and primer some of the exposed metal/bodyfiller spots and then apply single stage to that?
You don't mean "BURN up quick" You mean it will FADE from the sun faster ? Right. That's why single stage is best with solid colors. Metallics float in the paint , and the closest metallic flakes near the surface will rust after some wear from washing and sun exposure.( Burn up ) If you had base clear the clear is the layer of protection.
So you're not washing up your gun between coats. I thought with the hardener it was set up kind of like Bondo and you would have to mix a new batch for each coat. If you can tell I'm really not that familiar with automotive paint. So how long is you working time or how many coats can you get before you start having problems?
Interesting color choice for a filing cabinet I like how you think I do wonder why not turn the tip 45 degrees and paint up and down rather than side to side since it's so narrow. Seems like you'd do more work and waste more paint since you come off the edge so many more times. I'm not a painter so I really am wondering if there is a reason
UGH , NEVER mix your paint with the stir stick in the mixing cup , it won't be accurate . Plus you should have masked off your drawers so you could have painted the edge. Now when you open the drawer you can see the sealer color.
Does single stage hold up for motorcycles? The fuel tank is gonna get a little fuel on it from time to time, wondering if single stage will hold up. Thanks bro.
I got this single stage paint and it says to spray at 8 to 10 psi that can't be right I heard someone they say the manufacturer go by the cap pressure so I should spraying way more that that
So i sprayed Acrylic enamel single stage without hardner. The shop guy didnt tell me i need hardner nor did he give me. Is it going to be ok? I cant go through the ehole process of doing everything again.
hey. question if ya dont mind. can you help clarify the whole parts thing if someone didnt have a mixing cup. say its 4:1 does that mean (if were using cups), 4 cups of paint and 1 cup of hardener?
I am painting my bass boat with Acrylic Enamal AE - 2701 FIRETHIRN RED PEARL . Do I have to use a hardener to mix in it or can I do without it ??? I am painting it today 7/29/2023 ????? Can you reply today Thank you Rudy
I have heard of painters saying one coat of color then add the clear to the rest of your paint and spray 2nd and 3rd color coats. I think that's for urethane single stage and urethane clear.
Pharraway, does the flash time between color and clear change if it's urethane? Some other channel said 12 hrs before clear to allow solvents to flash off. Thanks for a reply if you have time.
@@PHARRAWAY, well I've been watching you for a while now and I am going to follow your recommendations. I am not painting a high end car, just a restored 4x4 truck that will end up scratched and if I screw up, I will do it again until I get it right, thanks brother
okay I need help I'm a beginner I want to know how to do it step-by-step because I was just going to paint over the color I didn't know it was different ways you can do it
I have been looking around for a good vid on clearing over single stage. When I get ready to paint I will be on an extreme budget. Can you clear over it? and how long to wait if you can? Thanks for all the content my friend!
can I roll this paint on? Lol or spray it out of something that’s not loud at all? I’m only up during the night and my neighbors give me problems for loud noise.. I can cut & polish like nobody’s business so not worried about orange peel.
PHARRAWAY so is that a yes? Lololololol I’ve even though about just putting single stage in a pump sprayer thingy that you use to spray weeds with, just to get the paint on 😁 lol
Love your videos. Question are sealers needed with 3 stage paint as well? Or is this a good practice to save paint? 1. Primer 2.sealer 3. Paint 4. Clear That right?
I have the same question. I liked and subscribed to ask this same question and scrolled through first. So I'm thinking that in temperatures above 80* we would want to use a medium reducer to avoid orange peeling, but especially in temps above 95* like his area in the summers... a slow reducer is necessary for even single-stage paint that is pre-thinned. However, even knowing this much... it doesn't answer the question of the term, "burning up the paint" in high temperatures. Did you ever find an answer somewhere else?
