How to Blend Car Paint Like a Pro

In this video, I will be discussing how to blend car paint over repairs. If you have ever had to repair a dent or scratch on your car, you know that painting over the repaired area can be a tricky process. If not done correctly, the paint can stand out and look noticeably different from the rest of the car's surface.

I will cover the necessary steps to ensure a smooth and seamless blend of car paint over repairs. From preparing the surface to applying the paint, I will walk you through the process and provide tips and tricks along the way.

I will also be discussing the importance of color matching and using the right tools and materials for the job. With the right approach and attention to detail, you can achieve a professional-looking finish that will make your car look as good as new.

Whether you are a DIY enthusiast or a professional mechanic, this video will provide you with valuable insights and techniques to help you achieve a flawless paint job on your car. So, sit back, relax, and learn how to blend car paint over repairs like a pro.

One very important technique you need to do when spraying clear coat or paint is never pull the trigger of the gun facing directly towards the surface you are spraying when you begin your stroke. You can end up with lines or spatter in the paint. Or worst-case runs. Gun needs to always be moving while the paint is coming out. The gun should start off the panel or at least hold the gun sideways so it's not a direct shot at the panel. This technique should also be practiced when you release the trigger also. Turn the gun away from the panel before the trigger release.Ive been painting cars for about 45 years.😊

Excellent video! I’ve watched countless YouTube auto paint videos that claim to be about blending but they don’t give any info on the strategy or what blending even is. Great job here!

I'm about to spot restore some vintage tennis rackets and this video was SUPER helpful. The fade out solvent was the secret I was looking for!

Ripper. Thanks. Am preparing for first attempt at gun spraying and need to do top half of a Ute bed where rust spots have been repaired but don’t want to paint the whole tub or tail gate.
