Car Painting HOW TO: Blend Basecoat and Clearcoat

WAT A BEAST!!!!!

I have Toyota Highlander 2015 black give me your address

Where are you loketed

So it doesnt make a hard edge when you spray the clear blender all the way up to that tape line after you pulled the foam??

Shouldn't it always be better to leave the hardline on the edge so it's harder to see and not the flat part of the panel?

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. 🙂

Inspiring stuff. I need to know, could you do this kind of blend on metallic paint job but clear coat respray only? I want to reclear my roof and do a my fade outs toward the top of the 4 main pillars. I honestly don't care if the areas that peeled remain somewhat discoloured, it's an old car and I just want to roof to be glossy again. Would I be able to get by with some aerosol 2k a hit of the blender on the fade areas and a good wet sand/buff to finish? Or is there more to it?

Is scuffing to 1000 for clear coat blend too fine? I read various opinions to use 400, 600, or 800. Id like to use 1000 to 1200 if possible without worrying about delamination issues.

Great blending tips , thanks for taking the time to do show us diy guys ...🖖👍👍👍

Good job

hello Bryan what is used for Blender in solvent paint? in my case I use ppg solvent paint, thanks

Thanks for the info I appreciate what you have helped me with!!!

dislike cause the intro was loud as heck.

Thanks Brian,, excellent blending, job 💯

Top man

Overlapping clear coat in centre ?
Does this not double the product in the centre ??
Thanks bro.

You a legend Mate , love Your work 😊

What ratio hardener did you use for the clear blend coat?

What i didn't understood.. You sprayed that Standox smart blend over cured clear or straight away? I guess is the same product as Axalta 790. Both made by the same company

can i use 1k clear coat as a clear base?

Ty

That’s amazing work right there. We’re I work they want it done one way and that’s it. In that case I would have did my base blend then cleared the whole quarter panel, and I learned a lots from these vids.

Thank you for your time to teaching me how to blend my own car.

why music? we want to watch and learn,,,not DANCE!

Incredibly informative and love the way you blend this panel. I learned something new!! Thank you

We got to keep this going or we'll be replaced by robots or made in China. 😆

🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍

What about the bumper in such a repair? I guess it was not painted, so there still could be a color difference between the fender. Did you do anything to blend the colors between them, or is it something that can be skipped because it's not a flat surface and human eye wont catch it?

What is the name of the wetbed product u use

i dont understand why you have to go all the way to the edges of the panel for such a small spot repair? why not just paint the spot and do the blend within just a few inches from the spot? i see a lot of painters do that for small spot repairs.

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!

kudos to you young man, self taught...much respect...

Great video and explanations! Would something upol blend #9 be used in the last step for those of us without spray equipment?

Bryan, I am a subscriber, and I watch all of you episodes. I recently painted my 1969 Dodge Dart and completely screwed it up! can I contact you? and if so how?

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!

That's badass .

Could you please tell me the soft edge tape you used in the video? Thank you

Hi , In work say i do a 5 inch dent repair on a bonnet or wing , I fill and primer the dent then i 1500 wet and dry about 14 inches in all directions , I base the repair and about 2 inches over then i clear over base and about 3 inches over but staying inside my 1500 , But when i flat and mop it the day later i get a spray effect line under my clear ?? why is this

Thank you man!!!

Why no completely finished results? I wanted to see how closely the new paint matched the old!

I normally see you doing final prep with 600 or 800 grit. Why the 1000 for this particular job? Thanks!

Amazing

Youre the picasso of car painting!

Sorry i know this video is older but when you used ur clear blender how did u avoid some kind of line where your plastic was masked right above the body line?

I need to do a blend and was wondering if there is any way I could send you a picture of my car and if you could tell me where I should blend it exactly. I have a very unique ride. I am not a pro at all but I did do work on my 2 cars only because of your videos. Please let me know if I could message you privately. Thanks

You need to speak louder and slow down when you explain process. Good job thanks.

How long do you leave base coat before clear and do you sand metallic base coat before clear coat cheers tony

That's why you are the Master of the Master to cut the paint like that. 😉

Great job!

What kind of sprayer do you use for wax and grease remover? Ive tried to different bottlea and it leaks(evaporates) out.
