Car Painting - Metallic Blend (Devilbiss Tekna Prolite)

This blue metallic Mazda has been into our shop before for repairs. This time a front end collision resulted in a few replaced panels, a few repaired dents and a complete paint job on the front end.

I know this is a really old video, but so far after days of watching videos on blending. This by far the best I have seen that shows the correct technique on how to blend a panel. Very nice work!

Definitely the good camera makes a big difference. Thanks for spending the time to make and share these videos. Helps me a lot.

Damn dude, the end result looks f'ing killer. I've never seen such a skill around here, it is always terribly thick looking paintjobs. Great job.

The camera that you have used in the past is fine on my pc...but my pc is 4 years old..
Its just a thought, It would be nice if you could give "roughly" the amount of paint and clear that you use on a job.It just makes it easier for us novices to understand amounts and try to copy your great technique. I cant tell you how much you have helped me develop my techniques, Its not just pointing a gun, you use your brain as well...So many many thanks, keep up the superb vids...

Excellent demonstration for a hands-on learner. The demo was useful. Keep up the good examples!

This is the first time I've ever seen a car being painted, I also never thought to look it up. I wish I had the skill and the patients to do this but I can't do it. I've tried with hundreds if spray paint cans on different things and it always looks terrible. How do all body shop painters do a perfect job every time? You may say it's not perfect but I have an eye for detail and I've looked up close at fresh paint jobs and they look absolutely perfect. Is it magic or what??

Dang man i'm going to the Trade school to learn Collison repair and I can't wait until we start painting xD i've watched so many of your videos I feel pretty confident about how well I can do!

[HeresTheBrotherhood]

[nathiercassiem]

We have a purge timer that pauses a few mins before the heat actually comes on but I don't think this clear requires it. I like to give it a couple minutes personally.

[benjaminjones]

That second camera definitely makes a huge difference thanks

I've been smashi g the wetbed clips to improve my jobs: my projects are VW Reflex and Toyota Millennium silvers.

A constant problem I'm having is application of either basecoat into the wetbed. Everytime I attempt this the whole thing just starts to sag, or the metallics look way off. Now I know you're going to come straight bavk with I'm laying too much wetbed, or hammering the basecoat but this simply isn't the case.

FWIW I painted an entire hood base straight over sanded clear sealer and it came out perfectly.

In this video I notice (like all the others) you went straight i to that wetbed with the are you getting away with it??

Any tips greatly appreciated.

Great Vid, Great Job & Great Color you got here .. I plan on painting my GMC Stepside 4x4 Truck with a similar color ( actually its Hydro Blue Pearl from 2015 Wrangler ) .. I would love to know what do you think ?

[Refinishnetwork]

Around $300-400 maybe, I can't picture a mustang roof and the work involved right now but sand and paint a roof is somewhere around that.
