To eliminate getting sanding scratches under the blend edge. (silvers and silver based colors) Spray the blend area with Intercoat clear. which is a sort of clear binder basecoat before you start the job. Just the blend areas. this will fill in the sanding scratches so when you blend you wont see them.

I was wondering why you didn't remove the passenger door mirror?

[johnblackburn]

What r u going to do when the clear coat starts coming of around the belt moulding and handle and mirror

Hoping you will do another video on the 3m gun after you've used it a few more times. Thanks as always for the videos.

I like how You left the door handle and trim on the car, I'm not a fan of disassembling the whole door to paint. 😊 THANK YOU.

Doesn't wiping with your hand after using wax an grease contaminate surface? I've been told even clean hands leave oils behind? That being said the guy training me is not certified in collision repair or paint but has been doing it 8 years... help lol

What about all the “blend” overspray on the right side of the door?
Didn’t some of it end as real gritty ? Does the gloss just cover that?

[AliVapeReviews]

Fyi you can reuse those tips a few times I just run a little thinner so the gun and let it sit for a minute in thinner then wipe off and I use it again
