I'm 60...and painted my first car over the last few weeks. It was a 65 ford mustang. I watched dozens of videos, most of them from Paint Society! It looks wonderful, and I'm starting my second car right now.

Don't overthink it, it's just paint. Those words carry a lot of weight. Thanks guys for everything you do 👍👍

I've been a mechanic for 20 years, and did some restoration work in the early 2000s. I've never done any major paint work myself, but I have to say this channel is pretty awesome. You guys go through everything including little mistakes that we all make as human beings. That really adds depth to this channel. You guys rock, and keep up the good work!!!

I'm 69, haven't painted a car since my early 20's. Just completed a color change paint project on my 69 Corvette, big block roadster. Used Eastwood paint products and watched probably every Paint Society video. Turned out beautiful. Thank you so much for the videos.

Pedro's movements are so even and precise that he gives the impression we're watching a painting robot in a factory.

I love it that you go back to basics every time, us amateurs that don't practice a lot need to hear those advices and ideas over and over.

[novabig]

It is always a pleasure to watch you and how you explain the process. My Dad always said "A true professional will make any job look easy". I wish I would have had an instructor like you when I went to school to learn how to paint. Thank you for making these videos.

[scottphillips]

I absolutely love your videos. I was a bricklayer for 25 years and ruining my body, when I first started i took a term of auto body paint That's what I really wanted to do.
They put me into a second-term class because there was no first turmers, i learned a lot and had a good instructor but I think you're better, i like the way you teach.

[taylormkct]

You are such a brilliant teacher, these videos are priceless.

[talon]

I started out as a prepper, learned how to paint then auto body repair and restoration. Now I just do collision work. Very informative video.

I am 19 years old about to do a high top and 170” wheel base sprinter van. I’ve been a bit nervous but ever since I started watching your videos I excited to get started! Thank you for these videos you definitely helped me out from making some terrible mistakes.

[kennethwoodall]

62, and going to be painting my old truck soon. Lots of prep work to do first. These videos have helped me feel confident in tackling the job. Keep the videos coming. We all appreciate them. Thanks!

Just finished painting my motorbike, after watching nearly every video on your channel. Could not be happier with the results, and learned it all from your good self 😁😁😁

WOW! The first coat of base laid down like silk, beautiful. I'll definitely be using wet on wet 2k sealer over my 2k primer as I don't want to spray 5 coats of base colour. Excellent job by you and Pedro!!!

[greyghost]

God bless you, Sir! Without you, many of us would absolutely NEVER do this!

[franktetrojr]

That base gun lays it down. Pedros arm covers are fire and his technique is flawless. That booth though has me envisioned! Thank you Brian for putting these videos together for us simps!

Having watched almost every one of these PS videos and actually doing my own first paint job just a couple weeks ago, i can say with experience that if you are attempting to paint your vehicle for the first time, its not rocket science but there definitely is a technique you need to learn with your own equipment. make sure you have all your materials (because i ended up going back to the paint supply to have another quart mixed that afternoon, luckily the weather was cooler and i had used the slow hardener which bought me time for a recoat of a couple spots) , make sure your surfaces are prepped and clean, then clean and clean again. Make sure your mask job is tight or you'll be dealing with paint where you dont want it. Make sure your gun and compressor match cfm requirement. my compressor is a Kobalt 2 hp, 6.1 cfm @90psi and my gun was a hf purple 6 cfm gun .Material was Limco Supreme B/C, ( via Bumper to Bumper, Southeast Auto Parts in Huntsville, AL ) but i just shot base color which is 1939-1952 Cape Maroon, gm hex code 3E1617, so it looks like a factory paint job ( originally lacquer and no clearcoat back then) going by what Brian says to do with it, how to set it up, you will lay paint. It does take a lot of work to get the overlaps and speed right, but that little $9.99 gun made a believer out of me. I started on an area that if i messed up id never really see it, after cut n buff that area the finish actually looks great. But i did have a few areas with runs. Dont get nervous or upset if you have runs, you can remove those more easily ( tape and glaze, block sand until its gone, polish ) than if you have a dry spot which shows up like a sandy texture. those will require color sanding and most likely you'll end up as a thin spot (which i need to touch up as soon as the weather gets back into the 60s next week) whether it was material, settings or pure luck, i had very little overspray that i could tell. In short, while youre painting make sure you put enough paint on to color sand after. The tip about using the slow hardener on the last "Flow" coat is key. I turned up pressure just another 5 lbs, backed off the surface a couple inches and fogged that last layer on a little slower than the previous and made sure my overlaps were keeping a wet line. I had to keep telling myself to not keep laying paint when i just had. like Brian says, give it a minute to flow out. I literally watched it melt out what i was sure was going to result in terrible orange peel. I saw a comment the other day which made perfect sense..."A run in the paint is one step past perfection" so, if you have a run start to form, just adjust your speed and or distance. Having no professional training nor "paint booth", i did have a decently lit area i built just to paint in now and for future use later. Not saying i resulted in a flawless paint job, because i do still have to work some texture out, but i impressed myself in my ability to paint my own project and gained a ton more respect for those who do this day in and day out. Thanks again to Paint Society and Brian Tonietti for putting this series of videos out there for us home/hobby/diy guys on limited funds and budgets. Dont overthink it, its just paint.

Thanks for showing all the details. I'm not a painter but I'm going to give it a shot and paint my 1994 red chevy dually. The hood, top and fenders are faded from years in the southern sun. Watching your channel has given me some valuable information that should help a novice like me.
You and Pedro do amazing work. So nice to see men that take pride in their work! I'm sure your customers appreciate it too.

[foadrightnow]

Phenomenal job! Looks better than factory! And Pedro's spray technique is smooth and complete and satisfying to watch! Great Job, guys!
