For some reason, the theme song from Special Agent OSO comes to mind: "Four simple steps, that's all you need. Four simple steps then you'll succeed. Step 1, apply filler. Step 2…."
You should Have mention what compound you were using for each pad
IN 4 EASY STEPS
A great job. Well done. Awesome
uhhhh can of spray paint is 5 bucks at home depot
When he suggested starting with bare metal i knew i was in for a ride but damn. Lol i thought this would be a scuff and shoot type of video. Not a concours level job. Lol
Why scuff the finish before polishing? It seems counter intuitive.
Great Video. Thanks for the video.
He made this WAY harder than it needed to be. Yes, prep is important. But overkill doesn't make it any better.
Block your body work to 90-95% perfection with 80. Bring it as close to 100% perfect with 180, which also removes most of your 80 grit scratches. 2-3 good wet coats of a good epoxy primer. Let it dry and shrink. Guide coat. Block wet sand with 400 grit. Clean and tack. Spray color. That whole 90 degree thing was overkill. If it's a solid color, tack before clear, if it's metallic, you run the risk of streaking your metallic. If you're spraying outside, use the fastest activator you can while still allowing for flow. Keep the panel in the shade (a tarp rigged as an umbrella or a big umbrella in the summer, allow direct sunlight in winter.
Spray 2-3 wet coats of clear. Spot color (wet) sand your trash nibs with 1000-1500. If your want mirror finish, wet sand the whole panel lightly with 1500, then more dedicated with 2000. Rotary polisher (not DA) with 3m or Maguiars compound, on a 3m wool pad, then 3m "Finesse it" on the rotary with foam finishing pad. Finish with a light hand glaze of "Finesse it" or Maguiars glaze, NO WAX!!!
If you don't want to color sand and buff, then it's "wash & wear."
And this is for beginners ???
