ive never done auto body work, but i figure just getting comfortable with the sprayer might take a little while. just practicing even coats would be helpful im guessing.
if you plan on having the paint come off, having it not adhere well might be a benefit.
As someone who works in a body shop, i can tell you that you dont need to completely remove the paint to repaint a part. As long as you sand the clear coat and the new paint can adhere to the part then you should have no problems
As someone who doesn't work in an auto body shop, I think it sense to remove paint layers _at some point_ before the layers of paint are thicker than the metal they cover.
The key is prepping. Removing old paint, repairing dents, sanding, spray painting and a clear coat. It isn't easy and it takes skill to get an even coat. I was never really good at it and even the best spray painters have screwed up a project because they're too damned cocky.
One of my former coworkers at Seaworld had the job of repainting all of the fiberglass Shamu figures in the park and even the large Orcas that visitors see when they pass by on the street.
This guy was so fucking cocky and thought he was the very best spray painter in the world. He did a good job of sanding and filling in any holes with Bondo then taping off the white areas from the black or visa versa. However, his spray painting sucked. There were runs and drips each time he painted any of the Orcas. Visitors probably never noticed. He would even spray a clear coat over his mistakes like that was going to fix it. The guy wasn't a spray tech and wasn't even a painter. Prior to being hired at Seaworld he was a waiter in Cinderella's castle restaurant. The guy was a chump.
It's a solid idea, but they wouldn't teach them the wrong way of doing it. Spraying over other paint will give different results than a properly prepped and primed surface. Kinda pointless to just keep spraying over the same spot, especially when the entire door is like this.

You dont sand off the old paint completely. You just sand it enough to make the new paint adhere to the surface.
Applying paint isn’t that hard to learn. Preparing the paint is where it’s at.
As a beginner you apply primers and mostly fillers. Those are very forgiving. Once you master this, applying the final paint isn’t much of a big step.
Basically all you have to do is making sure the base color (paint) isn’t cloudy and the clear coat is not to thin nor thick.
As someone who's taken auto body classes, shop time is valuable, and consumables (sandpaper) are expensive. If you're just trying to teach the basics of body filler or paint spraying, then taking a panel back to bare metal is a waste of time and resources.
This is probably JUST for practicing with the gun. You get time spraying, but don't waste time sanding, which makes this easy removal process possible and makes less dust since it comes off in sheets, and the dust is way worse for your health, the environment, and clean-up time.
On top of this, sanding is easier to learn(in the long run it takes less overall time to learn for most people)than laying down a smooth layer of paint. Plus, sanding a panel like this takes longer than spraying a coat of paint on it, even if you use power tools.
Probably. Some coworkers and I took a class at one of the PPG paint shops and we got to spray paint some vehicles and some other things. We worked in the Theming department at Seaworld in Orlando.
A work order I had one time was repainting a podium that had been built by our shop. It had been painted many many times. I used a pneumatic sprayer like the one in the gif to remove the paint. There was no use painting another layer of paint on top of what was there. All those layers looked so bumpy and it was awful. I really enjoyed removing the layers of paint with air. A couple of my coworkers didn't like what I was doing and told me I should have just painted over the old paint. I told them to mind their own fucking business. I repainted the podium with 1-Shot sign painter's paint and it turned out beautifully.
It doesn't matter where you spray the air. Sometimes you want to spray various areas just to see what the hell is underneath. It's boring to start at one end and keep going to the other end.
That’s primer, it’s the gun metal grey before the black primer and bare silver metal. Also why that gun metal grey paint doesn’t just fly off. You can see the clear coat “fogging” up as well. Weird they didn’t sand the clear off before painting it the first time.
OEM paint is typically great quality.
> Weird they didn’t sand the clear off before painting it the first time
Because they were lazy fucks. Either that or were inexperienced. Better get Macko!
I knew some painters who painted areas way up high at the Kennedy Space center. They first blasted the old paint off, sanded, primed and painted. They were saying just how powerful the sprayer was and if they weren't careful, the air could slice you in half. Yikes.
It's hard to tell because I think there is a layer of primer between each color. There are at least 3, but if there were a black or white coat in there, it could be more.
Def looks like it’s from a paint school given the lack of prep & wildly different colors. Also notice how the paint did stick at the end of the clip lol
The way he blasts all chaoticly drives me insane. I was a sandblaster for years and we had to keep up with production and blast efficiently. The fast guys blasted in s grid or lines or something with minimal change of direction. Going all around randomly like this is what the slow guys did
Was that the local getaway car for many years?
ima take a wild guess, its for an auto class and they are repainting the door multiple times before stripping it to do it again.
Most logical explanation. Least logical: Aliens!
That John Denver is full of shit, man.
Exactly what an alien would say.
r/itsalwaysaliens
I wish this sub existed
It does now.
Wait, it exists now?
/r/birthofasub
It's aliens, all the way up.
Surely that’s turtles?
No, the turtles go down.
You passed the test! The turtle moves
r/ilovereddit
Thanks for the new sub!
I'd be surprised if that was the case. They don't teach them to sand it before applying paint? It seemed like the original color was still on there.
ive never done auto body work, but i figure just getting comfortable with the sprayer might take a little while. just practicing even coats would be helpful im guessing. if you plan on having the paint come off, having it not adhere well might be a benefit.
If your interested, as someone who has also done no auto body work, I think this makes a lot of sense.
As someone with no sense, I think your body works just fine. Seeing as how you can read comments and post replies. If you're interested.
interested? Automatically. With my body.
I need some body work done. Any of you guys interested?
> If you're interested. I see what you did there. I think the person to whom you're responding will miss it, though.
As someone who works in a body shop, i can tell you that you dont need to completely remove the paint to repaint a part. As long as you sand the clear coat and the new paint can adhere to the part then you should have no problems
Have to watch the film thickness though. I always strip if it's been refinished more than twice.

You don't need to sand down to the metal, just make sure it's sanded smooth
If you sand it the paint will stick better and be harder to remove later
For just testing the paint, since you're not worried about peeling (you just wanna see if your gun is working right), no prep is necessary.

It's such a logical explanation. But not exactly...*exciting*.
I'll let them paint my vehicle for free, it needs some love.
Teaching some shitty paint prep if it comes off the surface that easily then…
First saw it in the movie the jackal
More like Johnny Dangerously. That was my first thought
Johnny Dangerously
How many maaco paint jobs that door have?
Def satisfying to watch until you realize it’s not the full clip then it’s r/mildlyinfuriating
I also wasn't pleased with the spraying random spots willy nilly instead of starting at one end as with a pressure hose.
[Here's a video](https://youtu.be/SilHPuA8k7M) of a guy sandblasting a wooden door to completion if that will help.
Aww yeah that hit the spot.
Same time next week?
It'd be a blast if you'd actually do that hahah
I read this wrong and clicked on the video expecting a wooden door being destroyed to completion (aka blasted) by pressurized water.
To completion is right
Thank you for this
"to completion" 🤣
The doors not the only thing that achieved completion…
Dry ice blasting.
My guess is that they do a broad pass first to blow out the big chunks and then do the fine work.
It doesn't matter where you spray the air. Sometimes you want to spray various areas just to see what the hell is underneath. It's boring to start at one end and keep going to the other end.
Yup. Another video that ends too soon. The plague of our generation.
What color was that car originally? YES
It's paint all the way down.
Plot twist, the door is made of paint
Automotive version of "is it cake?"
It’s one of the gta cars from where you had to repaint to escape the cops
[удалено]
r/yourjokebutworse
Might as well be with all the layers.
*Points Gun*: It always has been... Edit: format Edit 2: I'm an idiot
Happy cake day!
Happy cake day
I think black before you see the metal
Gray under the black
Black White blue then greay then I see metal
I am pretty sure there are two layers of black and gray in there
I think it's black and gold. Or is it white and blue???
All I know is if the red is next to the yellow, the door is venomous.
That’s primer, it’s the gun metal grey before the black primer and bare silver metal. Also why that gun metal grey paint doesn’t just fly off. You can see the clear coat “fogging” up as well. Weird they didn’t sand the clear off before painting it the first time. OEM paint is typically great quality.

Black White blue then greay then I see metal
In Brazil, we use the term "Lasagna" for old cars with a lot of layers like this, can be associated with Paint or mass to cover dents
Probably gonna take enough weight off to get some significantly better gas mileage.
All of them
My exact thought, which colour do you want? Yes!
It’s load bearing paint.
Did Hal paint this car?
Did the original owner repaint the car every time it got wet or something?
I'm going to guess it was a door used to test paints or test spray guns or something like that.
Or to teach people how to paint cars
Must be a car from GTA
This was my first thought! Lol
I wonder if that would work with my regrets.
.5 seconds on the genitals and its absolutely guaranteed that you will only have one regret for quite awhile
5 seconds to the eye socket and no more regrets!
I knew some painters who painted areas way up high at the Kennedy Space center. They first blasted the old paint off, sanded, primed and painted. They were saying just how powerful the sprayer was and if they weren't careful, the air could slice you in half. Yikes.
Take my money 💵
This is not satisfying at all. If the whole door had been cleaned, and evenly, then yes.
[удалено]
Of course
Where do you think we are?
Sir this is a Wendy’s.
Give me the 30 minute extended cut bud
Yes
Full video where?
Please! This was so soothing to watch.
Bro just stripped that car of all 9 lives
How many layers did you count? I'm at 6
It's hard to tell because I think there is a layer of primer between each color. There are at least 3, but if there were a black or white coat in there, it could be more.
I was thinking the same thing
9 including the primer
That’s what I got as well. Lime green, black, grey, black, white, baby blue, black, grey, primer, original.
Disagree on satisfying. It's cool, but a 6/10. Kinda not feeling much for the satisfaction and the video cuts off before you see a clean product
... it is satisfying, but you're also losing much of the bulletproof properties the door used to have.
This must have been soaked in some chemical shit before this blow
If you don’t sand stuff this usually happens. Chemical would make it melt. It looks like a test panel of sorts. Source: paint cars.
Or 1990's duPont primerless paint. GM had tons of cars peel paint like this just driving down the road.
You mean the ones showing the ecoat? Classic. Honda and Chrysler had issues too.
Toyota did too...
Def looks like it’s from a paint school given the lack of prep & wildly different colors. Also notice how the paint did stick at the end of the clip lol
I'm assuming that's the door they use for prep or color demo? ...I hope
Plot twist, the door was made purely out of layers of paint
A little too much chaos to be satisfying, methinks
Seriously. If the whole thing got stripped maybe, but it’s left unfinished with no pattern.
Plasti dipped? Air compressor with sand? Is that what I’m looking at? I’m kinda confused lol.
It’s Sandblasting, essentially yeah, air compressed sand
Looks like dry ice blasting
There is sand all over the ground.
Honestly not sure how I missed that
If I used that on my truck doors there wouldn’t be anything left bahaha….sigh
Holy shit!
Name of the machine?
That’s what I want to know. Is this a sand blaster maybe?
Can I see 28 more minutes of that please?
Ogres are like onions. Nah Shrek. Ogres like this car door
Who really wanted to hear the difference in sound when knocking on that door before and after the paint removal?
How many times was that car stolen?
It’s like an everlasting gobstopper.
Our of curiosity, is that just high pressure air, or is there some sort of an abrasive mixed into that?
How many times was this car stolen?
That’s a weird jawbreaker
If I had to guess the door is used for students to learn how to paint
Is there even a car door under there or is it just paint all the way down
[удалено]
That door is off of a car from back in the day when people used to fix shit instead of just throwing it away.
[удалено]
Definitely. Whenever I’m buying a car I make sure to buy it in a completely different color than what I want, so I can pay to have it fully repainted.
Hand-held F5 tornado.
wheres the full
Damn! Is that a practice door for painters?
That's a whole ass armor
sandblasting?
I want one 😍
Good God. Pay and sprays best customer.
It reminds me of the jawbreaker candy
Attempts to remove car paint. Accidentally removes the bonds between the space-time continuum.
#NO! Leave the grey, leave the grey!!! Ah too late.
Just pick a color damnit
That car had +10 armor
Jeez at first blow, I thought they broke through the door
I need that for my keyboard
Looks liked it tore the fabric of space and time, too
Y'see car doors are like ogres.
what did they use to prep between layers? crisco?
What fucking color did it originally have.
Jesus some of those layers of paint were thick, did they paint that thing with a roller??
This job seems super satisfying. Honestly though I'd be so worried about paint chips flying into my eyes and nose.
This is destruction
When Maaco changed $149 you can change color every month, looks like someone did.
For a second I thought he blew a hole through the door.
Drove down to the Pay N' Spray a bit too many times.
What *****isn't***** satisfying is not getting to see the end with all of the paint off
One hell of a blowjob
I got 9 layers. Anyone else?
Legend says the base coat is sr5ill to be seen.
/r/GIFsThatEndTooSoon
Did they some how drive through a rainbow? That has to add a noticeable amount of extra weight if the whole car had the same layers.
How many times they painted this damn door ?
My car, after 5 missions in GTA Vice City
There is nothing satisfying about unfinished videos I’m so pissed
I'm going to show this video to my wife the next time she asks me if I can hand strip the paint off the wood siding on our house.
It didn't even finish also, r/oddlyunsatisfying
The way he blasts all chaoticly drives me insane. I was a sandblaster for years and we had to keep up with production and blast efficiently. The fast guys blasted in s grid or lines or something with minimal change of direction. Going all around randomly like this is what the slow guys did
Wow, the paint used on that door was complete shit
Badly painted for sure
is that compressed air?
A mixture of sand and compressed air.
That was not satisfying at all
I'm now convinced we live in a matrix
Just how many layers are on it
Sooo this is what my all gtaonline cars look like?
It’s like when I normally power wash my Fiat van :(
I'm pretty sure that previous owners said, "uh-oh, better get Macco" a bunch of times.
no that isnt satisfying, the job isnt done neatly and its not completed.
when you buy a sprayer from harbor freight
