Hi, I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods
and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. So now we're going to paint
the repaired area white. We're not going to paint the area Andy's wiping right now. We're
gonna do a blend. Andy, naturally, same old thing, every step, he's cleaning. Same material
wax and grease remover just making everything's perfectly clean every time you shoot paint.
His goal is to get white paint on the repair area and not the rest of the door. The rest
of the car is a nice white color and we want our paint area to blend in. If we were to
paint that whole panel it'd be a nice new bright white stripe so we're trying to blend
the new white in with the old white and have it be a nice gentle transition that your eye
won't catch. So you can see there he's just he's put it heavier on the area that had lots
of primer and a little bit lighter as it gets away from that area. So, he's got the gun
set on air right now not material. So, he can dry that real fast. Another advantage
to using a two-stage paint system in these blends work very very well if you use base
coat for the blend and then clear over the whole thing. It works a lot better than in
the old days you used to take and use a single stage color and do a blend and then try to
color sand and buff it out. Apparently he noticed a piece of dirt there in the paint
that was going to get covered there so he's using the wax and grease remover to get it
out. The wax and grease remover is chemically benign. It gets along well with all of our
paints and primers and top coats. So, we can use it for a lot of different things and not
cause any difficulties.
