Fade out thinner always seemed troublesome back in the 90's when I used to use it..never could get the hang of it. This modern stuff seems much easier and better. Excellent work fella.

Tony, again you've really helped answer a few questions I have about blending metallics (silver esp). I have a silver toyota to spot repair and have already purchased what I thought would make a good wet I'm not so sure now. I purchased Mipa 2k transparent sealer as I couldn't seem to find any of the 'clear base' that are often recommended in these videos.
Wondering of you can advise.
Also, in my mind I see how a 1k clear base can be used with a 2k base coat?
Cheers Tony, please never stop making these videos, they are a live-saver!

Nice blend job well explained .

First time i used clear basecoat was on a Suzuki motorcycle that was pearl white with two different colours of blue over the white .

House of Color make a air-dry interclear that's probably clear basecoat .

You just can't afford to get any marks on the pearl white while masking up for the two different blues .

After successfully using it on the Suzuki i thought why not use it under silver and as you proved it works great .

Prior to clear basecoat i used for years sticky lacquer which is massively over thinned two pack lacquer .I used it to fill scotchbrite flatting so it didn't show any flatting marks under silver basecoat.

I still mix up sticky lacquer with slow thinner as a fade out thinner .It, s a great way of using any clear lacquer up as it stays liquid for weeks .

Totally agree with you always easier to blend silvers if the shade u pick is very slightly lighter darker no chance (waterbase)

Just did this method on my Audi A3 yesterday. They call it intercoat clear. 1 coat over the blend area to cover the scratches. Blend comes out perfect. eliminates that sanding scratch blend. Looks like glass. especially with that Kapci 6030 clear. needed no buff. laid down almost completely flat. Used a mini gun with pretty low pressure and atomized super fine. Overspray was completely dry and would not stick.

with the fade out I like axalta but it is 30 a spray can. Fade out thinner light then use spray gun with air. then I do another coat followed up with air.

As you know I'm from a time when paint was simpler ! There are paintings hanging in galleries and on collectors walls that don't have the attention to detail and time modern paint and yourself put into the finished product . As ever great vid showing just how much time and skill go into a quality finish 👍

[deanbrown]

Great blend great job as always!! Yep silver base can be a right sob to match up you nailed it bro and shooting a vid at the same time nice one tony 👍👍

blending silver easily from 1.8 bar which you do normal coat decrease to 1.6 bar and make a bigger distance from the panel move your hand back a little bit not to close

Thanks for tips, I had problems last month, "EZR" started to be rough, and I fc kd it when turned the pressure up... had to sand it down and repeat, but it was a mess... now I see it is the right thing to do to lower the pressure. (I was scared to be blochy)

[Bikebros]

Loving the videos they are being a big help. I am setting up to paint my own car at home, have my compressor and everything set up now but now just finding it hard as to where to buy all the paint materials needed and what the different things they are all called any tips where best to start?

[adameightyeight]

When doing the blow-ins do you not do baggy masking to let the clear creep under? I see you had a hard masking line. Interested to know how others do them.
Great tips on silvers. I have struggled with LA7W in the past, probably by spraying them at 2bar. I’ll look forward to trying this way 👍

Hi tony very helpful content, watch a lot of your YouTube channel, I have a lot of the things you have said about reflex silver, with dark patches and not bleeding problems.the video today with the T5 reflex silver, with gun pressure has been a great help I will now give this ago .many thanks stevie p from rs cars of peterfield.

[randyization]

so a lower air pressure will give a lighter co, lor when spraying silver mettalics?

[randyization]

im trying to blend in chrysler PA4 basecoat on a spot I fixed on my hood.. the issue is the paint shows up darker on the repair area.. I think the paint is slightly faded, , what can I do to make the paint match? the color im using looks to be bright mettalic silver, with just a timy bit of black.. im thinking of adding more silver to the paint, to lighten it up a bit. I reduced the paint and shot it with a airbrush.
