Glad I ran into this channel.. started my body tech journey in 2021 and I just got my first dealership job. Very helpful tips I’ll be using

When I burn the clear, I put reducer in the clear. So the clear on the edges melts in and I like to sand it with 1500 grit sand paper. Buff the panel, for a better result. I mask the bumper does not matter how small the spot job is.

Hey I used that UPOL blend #9 on the sail panel of my 1970 Charger RT as I did some body repair and then blend job on the upper sail panel of the car. I used some of this video as inspiration and partial guide when completing my repair. I had never done a blend job before but It worked out really nice! Thanks!

Customer got some free overspray. Im sure they appreciated it

[claytonmacnally]

Thanks a lot! I was fairly certain I knew how to do it, but I’m glad I watched this. I learned a couple of important steps. I’m grateful!

I’ve used the Spray Max Glamour 2K clear in a pinch a few times. You can swipe nozzles off of lots of other spray cans and see what works for a different spray pattern. I’ve found some narrow “bird shot”, and I’ve found the wide “shotgun spray” and that is key. But that Spray Max has serious longevity. I did my drivers side quarter panel, and it has withstood the gas spill test, sunshine test, the lot. Passes with flying colors. And it is hard. Not an easy scratch. The only problem is that while it last out glossy as can be and you can watch it melt into the previous stoke or coat, when it dries it’s gonna have some orange peel. Just spray several coats. I keep one of those infrared heaters about two feet away from the panel just as it’s finishing flashing off. Also a key factor. It also helps reduce orange peel. But it cuts out fine. For what it is, it’s incredible. You just can’t really prevent the orange peel.

Could you do this to cover a thin spot in a single stage paint job. The spot is about 2 inches x 1/2 inch.

[catfishsnagger]

With plastic bumpers you should be using an adhesion promoter so the paint doesn't peel.

Yes a big help for us DIY at home indeed cheers so much from Phil in Australia love the channel.

What makes Finish 1 710 and 720. 710 being spot panel and 720 overall different? Can you use them interchangeably?

[JayRosario-zvvt]

You my friend are what Ive been looking for, truly great work, i have the exact same issue but on my hood

[JohnWDTC]

Great video Chris with some really helpful advice for us DIY painters, this type of repair won't last as long as a bumper off and a full repaint but they are a good alternative and as you said it will last a good while👏👍John UK

[Steve-cstt]

How much time do you wait to spray on the blende and also time for polishing ? Steve

[novi]

I used DA one day and burned thru clear coat (just a thin layer). Now it looks like I have a slightly of color dot on my paint that you can only see during a sunshine. What can you suggest? I’m also from Oklahoma

[ogreunderbridge]

So basically to make it look proper, full coat of clear ? Where does blend spray really come to proper uses ?

[joshmirgan]

I have a question when I spray the blend on how long do iI have to wait to buff it?

[Green_gtw]

Great video Chris!. Thanks.
Question regarding the settings.
What is general rule of adjusting these small touchup guns? What pressure should we keep for base and clear ? 20-30 or 10-15 ? How much fluid ? 1-2 turns out ? What typical distance -? Thanks 😊

[Jopakilo]

Sorry may be a silly question, is hobby airbrush possible to be used on this spot repair? What make me think using airbrush is hobby airbrush will spray more fine and suitable this area?

[sd-zjdq]

it was very helpful, thanks for your time.

[nickevans]

Great demonstration but you didn't say how long it was after the last claer coat blend before you Buffered up the rest of the panel?
