Brian is by far the best teacher on YouTube for training. He is a natural at teaching and has made it very easy for people like myself to understand. I love this channel!

2 years ago I was painting a 1980 Chevy Blazer with the exact gun Brian is using here (sprayed at 15 psi and final coat at 12-13). I had blotches, stripes and sand piling in the dark silver metallic. It was terrible. I tried a 4th coat. Mistake.

I emailed Brian....he did not know me from Adam and gave me the EXACT advice he gives here and that slow or extra slow reducer is the money shot. It lets your paint fall into a wet bed rather than dry in the air and land dry. Brian is right on.

I was spraying in my garage in Michigan in March so I had the heat on 70 but had to open the doors while spraying so I thought a medium reducer would work....nope! The paint store literally thought I was nuts when i went in there asking for slow or extra slow reducer during a Michigan winter. Honestly, I thought Brian was nuts too....but I had no choice. I was desperate.

I had to allow 30 minutes between coats and even went overnight before going to clear coat since my shop is not a high heat paint booth. Brian is a class act and saved my butt!

Thank you again sir!

I've sprayed solvent paint for well over 40 years now. I'm currently spraying waterborne paint and let me tell you, it's a whole new ball game guys. While most of the waterborne paint seems to match late model colors, and effects better then their solvent counterparts, I'd still do my own stuff with solvent. I'm getting ready to retire at the end of March. So, I'll be giving Brians videos a good deal of my time. I'm not the first to say this, but this guy gives some of the best instruction without boring you with too many details. Keep up the good work.

I’ve taken the knowledge in your videos to paint my wife’s car and with all the mistakes I did make I was happy with how much I learned here before getting into the project! It’s not perfect but I made it work and I plan to paint the rest of the car in the spring as I got a paint with the code and it was not a perfect match either. I’m glad I learned what I did and it will benefit me on the next one! Thanks Brian

I used to get laughed at back in the early 90s for using base-clear to get those perfectly smooth metallic blends. If was refreshing to see you do the same thing for that perfect job! 👍

Perfect video I needed today. This morning I couldn't get a KAD paint code to not mottle. I ended up lowering my air pressure real low, pulling my gun half trigger and going real nice and slow.

I know zero about painting but you have got to be one of the best instructors, on anything, that I’ve ever heard! I’m glad I stumbled onto your channel! Great job!

I can't tell you how many silver cars i see driving down the road and it's blatantly obvious a door or panel was repainted, always looks lighter or darker or shimmers differently than factory paint. Very tough to match color tone and metallic luster but you got it down to a science, nice work 👍😊

Brian is terrific. He always teaches from his experience. Excellent teacher.

I'm getting ready to paint a topper for my truck, I was looking for instructional videos and came across this channel a few days ago. I've learned loads from watching your videos. Thanks for the content, and greetings from Scotland, UK.

Yes I noticed if we spray too many coats and its pre drying in the air, then when it lands on the panel the angle of the metallic particles starts to layer on different angles which the magnifies the streaky problem. Sanding smooth again and doing two wet coats, then one light coat seems to rectify the problem. I did that with spray cans too and it works.

thank you for the helpful tips, I share your videos with friends

[cspray]

That was the perfect explanation ever that I've seen on Yt.
To be honest, while he was reversing, I was waiting for the thud.

Another excellent tutorial. I recently painted Honda Heather Mist and had similar issues. A better gun was later bought, but this confirmed my other suspicion. That turning the pressure down, more distance, and that cross pattern could have save me. I'll remember it next time. Thanks again, Brian!

Brian, as always, it's the best educational video for painting silver metallic! God bless.

[Bikebros]

I’m gonna be attempting to door my own silver car at home these videos are a big help. I’ve final finished preparing my garage, I’ve self levelled the floor and painted the floor to get it all nice and clean. 😊. I’ve got my compressor and brought the devilbiss flg-5 spray gun which I booping will be ok. I’ve now just gotta brave the task.

I remember first attempt at spraying my cortina Stratos Silver it was a mess, no etch primer on bare metal 50% paint 50% thinners and I mad a complete mess of it. Enrolled on a college course for 3 years and now I can do a showroom finish. Still this channel has me hooked

[richardunderwood]

I can't stop watching Brian, learning all the time. I have a metallic silver to fix/blend soon and because of Brians detailed videos / advice I'm confident it'll come out nice. I'm excited about the wet bed method as I've had stripes in silver before and never really understood why (hobby car painter).
