I watched dozens of videos about painting. Your video is way, way best out there. Nicely organized and most important that you explained everything that I'm back to believe that I can do paint job myself. Other channels makes videos overwhelming. Thank you for giving me that confidence.

Thanks Dave, Finally some OZ content, and clear explanations of the basics. Auto paint products have always been a dark art to me. 👍

Hey Dave, awesome video. I’ve recently just sprayed 2k epoxy primer filler over bare metal that I had sanded with 120 grit and some sanding scratches are showing through. Should I sand with 240 or400 then apply another coat or should bring back to bare metal and start again with 240 ? Cheers, keep the great content coming

Good content. Curious about the color of primers. Should the top coat color be considered also in choosing the primer?

Ppg Australia use to have a 2k system called “cobra” and it had a 2k acid etch primer that was so bloody good, really sucks they phased that system out. It was designed in Australia for Australian climate conditions and a car I painted in that system looked exactly the same as the day I painted it even 6 years later

Very informative, thanks for sharing. In regards to high build polyester primer is it critical to wait 10mins or so between coats? Do you risk it not building as well?

Hi there, appreciate your vids very much. Question about spraying solid white (I use a acrylic because it's easier to manage in a home environment). I have primer fillers/surfacers of various light colors, blues mainly, or greys, and I'm wondering if I will get good coverage with my white color coat. I tend to usel multiple light acrylic coats 4-5, then a heavy final coat. Your thoughts on coverage?

[EricPollarrd]

Any chance you can do a vid of ADDING paint to motorbike plastics? I've a yellow duke (old paint but perfect nick) that i want to add white to using fine line etc. Guess it'd be scotch whole panel, tape and white then clear the whole panel? Just a bit dubious about adding to paint and clear to old...cheers

Thanks for thorough explanation. I still don't know whether I need to put something on bare metal when repairing some rust on the body before I put a filler to protect it. So epoxy would be great but I can't wait a few days before it cures. What's your idea?

[veritasaequitas]

I went to sand my rear bumper on a 2000 merc mountaineer. It has some kind of epoxy under the primer. Is there some type of primer that will fill the deep lines that the da left. The entire bumper has this on it. It's almost like a gel.
