car surface Preparation (Auto Painting Techniques) Preparing Cured Paint Surface For Airbrush Work Part 1

CollisionBlast.com – In this video of auto painting techniques, I was asked how to get a car ready for art work. I assume that the person is an artist and already knows how to use an airbrush. She was just not sure how to prep the paint that is already on the car. That is an excellent question, as just air brushing straight over the clearcoat would peel off shortly after applied to the panel. Here are the steps to part one. Preparing the paint before starting the airbrush work. Wash surface with dish soap and water – Wipe the surface with wax and grease remover – Wet sand the painted surface with 1000 grit sandpaper Scuff the panel concentrating on the hard-to-get areas and edges. Gray Allow To Air Dry And Move Panel To Painting Area To Begin Air Brush or Art Work. We will pick up from here on Part 2, which is coming soon. Be sure to sign up for our training.

    @Joseph7033 Yes you could spot sand blast it, but then you risk taking off the factory etching, also sandblasting is NOT recommended for body panels due to warping purposes.. And how many people you know have a sandblaster? Thanks Pete

    If you have mild surface rust grind it off,then it can’t come back,since it’s now not their,your taking a risk with just using metal prep.I do like your videos

    @restoscott Don’t mean to be a prick—this procedure is NOT for heavy THICK crusty rust….. This method is for mild surface rust, and does kill the rust so it won’t come back, its basically the same stuff as metal prep, that you spend 50.00 for.

    don’t mean to be a prick,but that’s not going to stop the rust from returning.Rust is just like cancer,if you don’t remove it all it will come back.
