So because of this virus going around my tech school is closed and now we’re doing online classes. And my instructor send us this video to write a review over lol. That was last week. Now I’m watching your videos everyday for the fun of it and get great information 😂

I've seen many great painters these last few years but Brian is the master of his craft - the Goat. Flawless perfection every time.

man!! Looks awesome! Knowing how to pull off perfect jobs like this is what separates the good painters from the master painters. Also silver is so intimating for me lol came out great!

I just painted my first repair to my wife’s van! I give you some credit for my success, I didn’t have everything I really wanted for the job and I will still need to do some of the other panels but it turned out great! Thanks Brian!

You must have a lot of confidence in your work to cut the blend right there! Great job, I love learning new things from other painters. The guy who taught me preferred to do it his own way and never took advice or new tips and tricks, which resulted in him getting into bad habits that he didn't know were bad. Luckily I had an open mind and used the lessons he taught me as a basis, and learned a lot more from guys like you who actually know why they do what they do, and not because "well that's how they told me how to do it". Complacency is what kills a good painter in this business.

no greater teacher then experience...I honestly wondered where you learned this and gotta say that from your ability to explain everything so well, it does show you took the long hard road but that is what makes your workmanship so enjoyable to watch; but I also like your friendly candor and humble approach. thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. gonna watch many others you have. 🙂

[miltonmiranda]

You sir are a true maestro! I’m a painter and been watching you for a week and already learned new tricks and became better painter!! I salute you

[gordonclark]

Self taught. Your inner self was a great teacher Brian. I watch from Australia and although not in the trade just love learning things and you do it for me.

[schuma]

You are the kind of guy I would like to work with! This is perfection and even the paint room is clean, the first one I have ever seen in a paint shop, not like the usual Picasso all over the bench.

I literally started painting did two cars already. Your tutorials are amazing. Thanks a lot Man. Saved me a lot of money! Keep at the videos we will keep watching!

[michaelgallant]

The best blending job I have ever seen🙌

[brucegodfrey]

Great blend. it's been over 50 years since I worked in a body shop after 3 years of body work class in high school. I just needed a refresher on the paint and clear blend. Got it! Thanks!

[demarcoglass]

You are so good and humble.Much respect ! I have learned something, I didn’t know.💪

[anythingauto]

Thank god for the metallic blend videos. I’m doing my personal car at home I’m a auto mechanic not auto body/ painter. I’m using rattle cans filled with my paint code and 2 k rattle clear. Most definitely impressed with my blend after watching your video for. Week straight I built the confidence to pull the trigger and do it. Now I’m just nervously preparing myself to clear

[albertmicallef]

Great job blending that panel I really like the ideal of the blue sticky foam on top it totally makes sense and it looks like it’s way easier to get rid of any lines or anything at the top of the panel I was enjoy watching your magic thanks again Brian for all the tips great work🤙

[anthonytui]

Great information on your videos brother!! I myself am self taught as well painting professionally on and off for the past 20+ years. Many little details you share that I did not know especially with newer technology out. They make a difference in our work being that much better and life a little more easier. Thank you!! Love the videos and keep em coming. From the middle of the great blue ocean!!

[albertfernandez]

Brian, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am also a self taught painter out in Las Vegas. This video was fantastic, i just finished a job and it came out perfect, using this technique. I specialize in touch up and detailing. Your smart blend is awesome! Thank again
