  I'm more amazed by the mix-it-yourself spray paint station than the paint job.  We don't have anything like this where I live.

  Hey guys just incase people really want to use this as a guide, here are some tips. **Always apply primer surfacer before and after spray putty. Wait 10 minutes between all coats. **Also a plastic primer is needed for bare plastic and etch primer for bare metal. **The primer needs to dry overnight before sanding and for metallic colours finish with 800g **Leaving the base overnight is not really the best thing to do. Spraying the clear within 30min of applying the base is the best, the pores of the base coat are still open and ready for the clear. The clear can possibly peel and have poor adhesion otherwise. Wouldn't want all that work to go to waste. **The clear from a can needs to dry overnight then sanded with 1200g and buffed with compound to get the correct gloss. Getting people keen on spraying their own car is awesome good video. Cheers

  People always complain about orange peels when painting with spray cans but if you do it the proper way and polish it like they did, it is in fact possible to achieve the same finish as professionnal paintjob.

  this video is so upbeat, but the &quot;Villagers rounded up and massacred&quot; at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHA0jhp3CSM&amp;t=290">4:50</a> really kills the mood lmfao
