SUPERB tutorial video there Mr. Barnard. I've heard all the myths and stories about coach painting over the years and it's just great to see a professional like yourself explaining the techniques, sharing many years of hard won experience and, making it all look so bloody EASY!!?? I particularly liked your advice about using the paint, as formulated by the manufacturers, I've used all sorts over the years and it is absolutely use the right technique, and you'll get the right finish! ;-)

After a complete disaster trying to paint a table brunswick green, I sanded it down and started again using your technique. I have to say, I'm well chuffed even after just the first coat, I can't wait to get another coat on to see how it looks. Many thanks for sharing and taking the time record the videos!

Great to watch..i trained as a Coachpainter at East Kent Road Car Company from 1979..painting Buses using Parsons and Williamsons Paint..and my trustee set of Hamilton brushes..Sadly made redundant because it was cheaper to spray buses elsewhere..Nice work sir!

Awesome videos! You use high density foam 4” rollers, where do you get these because the ones I’ve tried fall to bits. The low flock mohair one leave a mottled affect. This painting skill is something I need to practice! Thanks

Like you said, paints today dry quicker. I've been paint boats (as a kid) since 1976 and the urethane paint hasn't change in all these years. It drys quickly and can sag. Penetrol added makes the process so much better and the paint looks better albeit transparent so sometimes you need to paint several times, but longer dry time and no sags.

Curious now if i can add coach paint into a spray gun with paint thinners and just spray gun it coz i need to paint my classic landrover and i cant hold a brush or roller😂
