@candylisaxo: Most people think it's the clearcoat that makes a paint job look good... but the finish is already decided before the clear even goes on 👀 . Here's how I spray basecoat to get even metallics, consistent coverage and avoid patchy paint. If you're learning car painting, spray painting, automotive refinishing, basecoat application or DIY paint repair, this step can make a huge difference to the final result.

Jake Collisi :

No wipe down or tack rag?

Jimmy Rigged :

How long between these coats?

Goldie :

lol. I’ve thought I’ve seen everything in painting as I own 2 bodyshops. Live sockets on walls and no flash proof lighting.

Sean Moore :

Tack it off and when you’re painting edges edges edges

John Jakeson :

to match paint, 2 aspects. firstly colour then finish. painting a panel like glass may mismatch simply because the finish is different. rarely needs to be like glass

nedasmacernis :

there are some missing steps, like wipping with degreaser, wiping with sticky cloth those steps are so important cuz the most amount of dust already on the part. If u dont do those then the next day polishing machine becomes youre lover

nousername13 :

so no tack rag 😳

nic :

John Jakeson :

so misleading. panel not panel wiped after blowing off. tack off missed out. depending on colour, you might need many more coats to gain opacity. not just metallic particles, far more mica than metal. jeez

Chanaka :

👍👍

Josia888 :

Can I spry with tin cans or even use rollers to get the same effect?

soul boy ✊️ :
