ROFL honestly .
Aerosols sprays do they last?
Normally I use black only .
I use them to paint small molds on car.
Inner fender, under car, suspension etc.
Also I used it on rocker cover on my engine full gloss black.
Also I use it to spray a tracer on my primer before primer gets rubbed.
Very convenient easy to use.
So far my engine got it done 5 years ago still looks good.
Why not use it is cheap no compressor or gun .
Would I do a full panel no .
Why not cause you would need a lot of cans.
Another words you need at least 3 to 4 acrylic coats with spraygun in order to be able to buff panel.
Aerosol paint is very thin means to achieve 3 to 4 coats you would need 20 cans LOL
Only 2 types of paint commonly used in aerosol can acrylic and airdry enamel.
You get etch primer in aerosol spray bare metal.
And used color on top of it to prevent rust.
At the end of the day nothing lasts.
Make sure primer is well shakin and panel is well clean
Good luck[quote=”TCC” post=157150]What do you think of PPG Omni plus line paint and clear? Durability and gloss?[/quote]
Howdy
In Australia we have so much in market.
Here are some of the best ones I used.
DuPont
glasurit paint
standox
Spice hacker
ppgstandox ,ppg,spice hacker I can tell you from my experience they all last long also you get life time warranty
And so they SAY but nothing ever last I say.
These 3 brands are easy to use colors are 98% of the machine {how close color is to car when before matching}
you will need buffing as it looses .5% gloss after it cures also I found easy to get a lot more nibs [nibs =dust}
them other paints {it attract the dust more as you spray}DuPont,glasurit paint I found these to be the best only in application other words you can smash clear on with no loss
Of gloss after it cures great for flow coating less nibs etc.
Other then that is same as rest.
If you bake car at 50 degrees celsius
It will cure in 40 min in winter 30 min in summer
I hope this helps.
These paints must only be used in spraybooth
Chemicals are extreme poisonous as it floats in the air
It only cures by heat as for acrylic it dry’s by evaporation
More suitable for home use.
Make sure you read institution of safety cause its not just your life but everyone else around you.hi my advice to you is watch these videos.
gearbox are very heavy good luck
and thanks for videos ericcan i ask you is there fuel smell when you try to start the car?
remove plugs check how wet they are.
i don’t undestand where is the logic in replacing stuff
when nothing is tested .
you said you have brand new injectors!
don’t mean that 1 is not leaking.
i would be checking
good luckyou said this.
Other days though, it will feel as if there is a gap between me pressing the
Throttle and when it actually responds or detects the throttle as open.
Are you trying to say when you put foot down car don’t respond till few seconds.My answer by what your saying ,I would check or replace spark plugs.
2nd you said
Issue two is that the car shifts rough and sometimes it shifts fine.
My answer when was last time transmission got serviced?Check the oil in transGood luck keep us posted
I understand your troubles.
I also understand most of the time woman are victims.
I have many story’s too but we have a saying in this country
Regardless how wrong customers are they are always right.
Well lets say I’ll give you one small story.
I think it was around 84 to 1985 when jap cars came on market
With engine bay been different to outside car like no shine etc
Now when I paint car I do my best in getting the sealer and paint
Work to a perfect match to the original and I do take pride.
The car was hit in front and we got finished in 3 days panelpaint etc.
Car was only 3 week old customer comes to pick up car he was happy
To see car looking good and how fast we got it done.few days later
Insurance company contacts saying customer not happy with job
That will be contacted for organizing return and if we can’t fix the problem
Car will go to other shop and will get the bill.
Obviously my boss panic and we had a meeting about it.
I was curious what was the problem.
Next day car comes back the owner started insulting us saying how bad paint work is in engine bay.
He was happy with outside of the car.
I keep my cool about it I said to my boss look I need a few minutes with him I will show this guy that our job was done
right.
The only way was to drive the guy to the dealer show him what the new cars are like on inside engine bay.
Customer couldn’t believe it. He apologized never heard from him again.
As for this insurance company they were never same to us again every single job got checked after that.Is good when people have the luxury of having right tools.
Try use that on different model car?
Some will prob work but not all.
Great video and thank youI just want to say in my days around 30 years ago when I started.
People had pride in there work not so much these days.
Reason there is a huge market in cheap aftermarket parts.
You can get anything online.
If you open shop these days you will only survive if your the cheapest quote.
im retired but I still work at home on all my family and friends cars.
Is not easy for me to give a quote to a neighbor of mine to do a job,
that is over a thousand dollars worth in smash repairs.
I given quote of materials +labor unfortunately labor I don’t
Charge by the hour so I can spend 2 days only charge 100 dollars.
So this is why I say everyone these days wants everything for nothing.
Mechanics deal with car dealers car yards etc
Smash repairs [bodyshops] deal with insurance company’s.
Believe me insurance company’s if they could squeeze the quote any harder
The quote would bleed.
Most people are just trying to survive I do feel for them.
These days cars is only an object gets you from a to b
As long as its safe on the roads
That’s all that matters I believe all this is from high taxes imports etc.
Here we buy a car for 30k in USA 15k same car and we are closer to Japan
How does that make sense but is not just cars is from anything mobile phones,tools
Eric premium membership etcIn my days we use to take pride cause we use the right brand of parts.
Also we were given the right amount time to finish jobs.
Most importantly we would repair not just remove and replace parts.
If I ask a young panelbeater what is lead wiping or file finish a panel.
He won’t have a clue but if I mention what is body filler and file bog down?
Same for mechanics these days is all about plug and play, remove and replace.
Pretty much ecu tells them how to fix problems at the end of day
You can go learn new skills on how to understand ecu how to plug and play cause
Is all new tech but you need the basics on how to fix things not jut remove
and replace from that you learn the most important thing.

same here
There’s one thing that will answer the question .
Eric needs to do another video on the wet not snow.
You will find that video is wrongfor your type honda yes cause top inside rubber
even if your saying is too much out is easy fix.
just wind window down all the way put your knee on inside trim door pull frame gently
or put push frame out use block wood with rags between door frame and roof and slowly and gently
close doorhi i looked at video and thanks for the trouble .
looks to me top door has small dent is a small repair
you can contact (PDR )paintless dent remover in your area.
i think they charge 30 to 50 dollars a dent.
i don’t see damage to frame or mold.
check how far door goes in might just need to adjust catch in centrepillar .
to me is big cost to replace door means painting in out and blending rear door and front guard or (fender)
also you will find the person PDR most time there panelbeaters or spraypainters just show them they will fix it for you cheap
