Nice job there Kandy Man, I love your channel just for this reason as you explain everything in great detail plus you give us the tips and tricks on painting issues you may come across on older vehicles👌🙏👍John UK
I stumbled across this technique several years back while using the camera on flat cleared trim parts.The camera could not see the color accurately on the flat cleared parts But with a quick spray of Like90 gloss simulator before you scan the part gets you real close on color with the camera.Another trick in the arsenal is to adjust the gloss level of the clear sightly if the color is a little off.Less gloss will make to color appear lighter,and more gloss will make the color appear darker.You are the only other painter i've seen us this trick.Great minds think alike.Keep up the good work.
Great trick. I usually just buff the flat clear till it’s shiny enough to scan then proceed the same way. You can even hit it with some 2000 before you buff it up.
Dude I would have never thought to clear matt finish parts and camera shoot them . I always polished them but you’re right it messes the metallics up . Can’t believe I never thought of that before
This trick is gonna save me so much time in future because I have had to paint so many of the accent trim molding or pieces for fords or Kia and Hyundai recently and I was taking camera shots of the piece but didn’t always work And I’d fight to tint it. Now this is game changer
I'll have to give this a try on next Kia hyd I do . We are jobber for a dealer ship we do mirrors doors handles but they send us a bunch of customer to us so . Can wait to give it a try
Wow that’s something to look out for definitely. The old lead painter at my current job used to just clear over the primer to save time on gray, white, and black boats. He’d mix it weird though. It was 4-1-1 with accelerator. He’d put 1 part clear, 3 parts primer, 1 part reducer, and 1 part clear activator. Then accelerate it. Then clear over that. He didn’t get a chance to explain it to me before he died and then we switched from axalta to awlgrip.
Good advice, Had that ppg matt finish guide like that at my old job, with the 1-7 scaling, the shop I'm at now doesn't have one and the paint rep tells me they are hard to get. Not sure if that's b.s. or not but I sure miss having that guide!!
Kandy man I have a question regarding prep work. I painted my truck doors two years ago with a single stage solid blue. I’ve since repainted the outside including the jambs with base clear. My question is what needs to be done to the backside of the doors to spray clear on the? A lite sanding or can you mist them with reducer what’s your recommendation thank you!
Ive had issues with matte getting stripped. Ive seen stripes in matte at car shows as well. Back in the 80's I would "fog" metallics to eliminate stripping. When I say fog I mean to hold the gun further away to even out the coat. Do you have issues with stripes and if so how do you handle it? I have a military vehicle to paint in the near future and I am worried. Thanks, your a GENIUS!
@@petebanham4916 A friend of mine into military vehicle restorations has recommended a urethane by Midwest Military out of Prior Lake Minnesota. They sent me some samples. I'm not familiar with Selemix but a quick search shows it is not available in the US. It looks like it is tied to PPG though.
Hi and good job, have a Q's is that the nexa system you are using?, i ask because i wanted to know how you was able to get the scan colour up on screen?
@@kandyman5315 thanks buddy, i just moved to a new bodyshop and asked them about adjusting and they said no, then by random i was watching your video and boom you did exactly what i was asking, seems i'll have to get the shops system running how it should be, cheers buddie
