So I have watched your videos and learned how to paint my own cars, parts, body work, and even making my own carbon fiber parts and you gave me the confidence and knowledge to do these things myself and not have to rely or pay for someone else to do it. I just need you to understand how important what you are doing is man... You are leaving a legacy of online knowledge and trade secrets and taking the hand of each and everyone of us and showing us your world. You might not think of yourself as heroic or doing anything life changing but you changed my life, my ability, and know how I don't need to know your intentions for why you started this channel I just need you to know I personally look up to you as a friend a confidant and a hero even though we have never met. Thankyou for being there for me in my time of need, easing my frustration and giving me the ability to do stuff I never dreamed of ...

So P600 for the primer stage and then base coat on, my question was what grade do we sand down the base coat before we apply lacquer ? Thanks for the great information so far, I’ve managed to prime and prepare for base coat thanks to you .

Can't wait for the next stage. Always up for learning or knowing something I didn't or a new or more efficient way to do something

The interface pad is key - without it, you're making hardship for yourself. You will be sanding in flats everywhere - the interface pad cuts that right down.

Hey Brian great video, another thing to to do if you don’t have guide coat, use an an LED light at a low angle, you can see everything with a led.

[tonymartinez]

Sure enjoy your channel. You’re a great teacher. Keep up the great job and God bless you and your family.

Excellent video as always Brian. I use occasionally Upol primer aerosol for minor breakthroughs. It has a little more build to it and takes to sanding really well. Autozone.

I asked a few weeks ago, what would be, in your opinion, the best grit before paint, to achieve good adhesion, versus smooth surface. This video seems to answer my question, and then some!! Thanks, Brian!!

[Snip]

Yes indeed wet or dry what to use great video helps so much cheers.

I’m doing the roof on my BMW, the clearcoat is peeling after 25 years. I’m using p400 and p320 kovax sandpaper because it cuts very nice. And as you mention, the interface pad is key. I will be doing the same steps as on my bumper: sealer, primer, paint and 2k clear. Thanks for all the tips and advice Brian

[Palmeys]

Just to be sure @9:00 do you mean primer then sealer? Btw watch alot of your videos and youre a great teacher. Thanks

[mikeb]

Good explanation of scuff pads near the end.

[clffordhenline]

Was just up front at my shop and in the customer area low and behold on the throttle channel we use one of your videos was playing!

[hensonromero]

Great video, can you make a video on how to reclear faded carbon fiber panels

[jamesmarques]

Every time I use a 2K primer filler. I block with 220 grit sand paper, reguide coat and finish with 400 grit. I spray over 400 grit, sealer, base possibly sand the base, spray more base, clear coat it.

[peterjurczyk]
