Posted by admin on January 25, 2010
This shows the steps necessary from start to finish of a minor dent repair on the quart panel of a sunfire. It includes filler application, block sanding, priming, sealer, painting & clearcoat application. The masking step was skipped in this video. It is available separately, check my other videos.

The sealer is urethane based 2 part primer that provides a better foundation for the paint.
The orientation coat is clear basecoat that fills in minor scratches from the preperation to give you an easier surface to blend across.

Thanks, ya the wet stuff isn’t for everybody for sure. How would you typically prep a blend panel? DA with a fine paper and scuff the edges dry?
Hey good work. Nice …
Hey good work. Nice vids. I been spraying for 10yrs now and i can say we spray similar although i prefer Satas over anything. The only thing I dont like what you were doing, not that its wrong, but the wet scuffing with the paste. I have 3 tubes in my cabinet from 6yrs ago never used. Im a dry prepper. keep the vids coming though. by far the best instructional vids on autobody.. for example.. Hi IM Doug.. keep it bro

Jimmo4life, I was very impressive with your work. I’m new freebie to this “paint yourself”. Could you please tell me where i could get the paint that matches my car color. It is lexus es2004, gray.
Please also refer me to get the gun and the compressor required for this task. Thank you so much.

Ideally find a compressor and gun but if your using aerosol cans they need to be 2 part cans. They activate the product before you spray it, very different from a 1 part can. I don’t know if thats available at Auto Zone or not.

Its a 2 part primer that gets applied and does not require sanding before applying base coat. It makes the repair a bit more durable.

Sorry to keep it simplified.
Happy to answer your questions, consider posting them on my website and you’ll get a lot more info.
Get a paint gun & use a 2 part clear, not an aerosol.
You should hand wash your microfiber clothes and then put them in the machine. I’ve never used a RO polisher & the compressors have always been very large so I’m not to sure what you can get away with. if you post on my site I’m sure someone will know,
I’ve tried posting …
I’ve tried posting like three times, what is wrong with youtube!!!
And what would be a …
And what would be a good tank and compressor to own for a medium level of paint gun to get a decent job done? I heard 20 gallons is the minimum.
Thank you again
Another question …
Another question was…
After i am done using a rubber compound, polishing and waxing compounds, what the best way of cleaning the cloths? Can i wash them in the machine? I know the rubbing compound gets a bit hard and i dont want it scratching my car. Also , i have a 10″ random orbit polisher, is that a good choice? or shoudl i get the regular circular one? The RO one is hard to operate and is always @ 2k RPM.
Hi,
Not sure if …
Hi,
Not sure if the last comment was successfuly posted but what i said there is that i just finished painting my dads car and only need to apply the clear coat. Its looks really good, thank you for your help
. And i would really need a gun if i want to paint the whole car or it would cost me $5k woth of cans to do so 
.
I keep coming up with more questions, let me know when you want me to stop asking them
Hi,
I just …
Hi,
I just finished painting my dads fender and another bumper. Will be applying the clear coat soon. Really will need a gun since it too me 3×300 ml cans ($10/can) to paint the bumper and if i want to do the whole car, no way i can do ti with cans, also the consistency of the paint will keep changing. Thank you for the answers, it really helped me out!!!
As i am goign along, i keep finding new questions to ask, let me know when you want me to stop asking them
Blending is just a …
Blending is just a natural part of painting. When you are painting say a fender you can anticipate at least 3 coats to cover the fender. With each coat you bring it a bit further into the door to gradually move the color into the door so you don’t see any difference in color. There are many challenges with blending, especially high metallic colors.
