The car looks good Jerry. Great DIY tip with the paint stick. Enjoy your weekend

Nice job Jerry getting it even, Jerry. I love laying down the final gloss coat on dark colored metallic bases. I get a bit nervous still when spraying light blue colored metallics, worried about stripes or blotchiness showing up when cleared. Just with very light blues though.
Your trick with the stir stick is genius. I was helping a kid down the street paint his first car last weekend and for the life of him, he couldn't figure out the ratios on the mixing cups. The kids got brains, he's 18, buys and sells cars while going to university to become a lawyer. The stir stick markings would have worked perfectly! I'll show him this video.
Have an excellent weekend

Awesome Video! Amazing what can be accomplished without a paint booth! Thanks again Jerry.

Beautiful work Jerry. It's nice to see the videos take the car from the initial damage to the finished project. Thank you so much for making well produced videos.

Jerry: Another great video. Nice tip about putting a light in the corner. It makes perfect sense once you explained it.
Enjoyable as usual. You know your stuff. IG.

Damn, Jerry :) looks absolutely beautiful. Its better than brand new. Thank you for all the info. Yes i always use light in the background and look for the wet reflection. Have a great weekend!

Nice to see you painting again. I guess the filter system is working to keep the smell down, so it doesn't bother your neighbor, as you stated in your previous video when reviewing the filtering system.

Great video Jerry very informative thanks.

Great video young man. Talk to your paint rep or salesman at your paint supplier . Most every paint manufacturer have these stainless steel paint sticks which make it easy to achieve any mix ratio. I have many PPG mixing sticks and even really old DUPONT ones from decades ago that I still use! Cheers, WilliamI

Wow, you don't have to worry about getting the base on wet? That's really good to know.

very well explanations and I'd like to share what I face doing my restoration project of square body chevy, don't ever never buy junky amazon spray gun all the time pay well on spray gun and don't run with small air compressor or use very well known guns that run on low CFM specially when need to put clear coat it will consume lot of air si when it start starving for air you will get unsatisfied. Note: I'm not expert on painting skills but these are the issue I faced and cost me time and efforts to overcome the reason of failure with sudden runny paint or large orange peel. at the end thanks to you and others who share their knowledge on you tube for guys like us appreciate and god bless you

[RustyGlovebox]

As always you give some great tips and tricks on getting a great paint job. Really enjoy watching and learning. Do you have a recommendation for a spay gun for the Home hobbyist without breaking the bank? I know you get what you pay for but it won't be used all the time either. Thank and have a great weekend

Time between base coats ? Thanks I’m trying this for the first time

Followed your instructions and got good results. I applied 4 coats of clear, expecting to cut and buff. Sanded the clear to a dull flat finish with 1000, 2000 then 3000 to eliminate my orange peel . When I cut it with Meguiars Diamond cut 85, I could see the shine coming back. Expected higher degree of shine with Meguiars 83 polish, but it dulled the finish. Welcome your suggestions.

It looks really good great video what gun did you use and tip

[steveguest]

Great video Jerry, what exactly makes the difference between a tack coat and say a wet coat is it gun adjustment or speed ? Cheers 👍
