Another good video. Here's another benefit to your "short and sweet" videos. Besides not dragging it out with a lot of useless babble, I can watch you while on the can without my butt falling asleep. Thanks for posting.

Watched alot of vids on blending, they all seem to overcomplicate the process. This was short and sweet

I just bought some silver birch paint for my 04 grand marquis. My first time and I pick silver. Not too smart but I’m just fooling around and learning as I go. This video helped a lot

Great video and highly explanitory. I understood you increase the pressure and distance when spraying the mist coat. By how much do you increase the pressure? Do you change the gun settings between tackcoat, medium wet coat and wet coat? Alternatively any tips for gun setup for the tack, madium wet and wet coat?

Is the door panel scuffed i see you started on the wheel well area but are you moving up painting the whole door? Thats exactly what I need to do. Thanks

Larry I’ve painted my hood and I have an area that is cracking/crazing. It’s a small spot but paint is wrinkled. Can you help?

[TheRealTonyCastillo]

Is that the finish product? Or do you wet sand the clear and buff it? What determines when you do wet sand and buff?

[mplscarsales]

Was the door panel sanded before blending paint ? If so what did you use to sand ? Thank you

[hammerhead]

I just subscribed to your channel, you have great content. I have a question, did you put tape or any other material behind the gap between the fender and door to prevent over spray from getting into the passenger compartment? That was an excellent blend job, thanks for the video. Semper Fi, USMC.

Great video. Quick question: sometimes I have tried to clearcoat a silver color, but the clearcoat kind of turns the silver to gray. What could be the cause?

Hi . I followed your videos and have my project mostly completed. I do have a line between the old finish and new finish . not a hard edge but you can see a slight difference in color . I was told to prep the area and put down a coat of base mixed with a color blender which will allow for a unoticed transition between old and new then apply clear which also has to be blended . is this correct???

[landonman]

What grit did you use to prep the rest of panels to be painted?? Can you just clear right over your prep? After you spray color on the repair
