all right guys so now i'm going to show you the tools that you
guys need essential tools you guys need to start your paint projects
hey guys roland from revemoto i think you guys recognize me for those great
viral videos on how to install that f-150 side view mirror or
that phenomenal video about how to install that rear bumper on that 2010 toyota corolla
but hey today we're going to start a different series on how to paint you guys asked for it
and we're going to give it to you guys all right guys so if you guys are new to my channel here
revemoto we sell pre-paint auto body parts so it's pre-painted color match your vehicle and we ship
it straight to your door so with the extensive years of experience that i have in painting
i want to show you guys from beginning to becoming an expert how to paint all right guys so these are
going to be the essential things you guys need to start prepping parts on the sandpaper side
all right so for us we use a 320 grit on a sticky pad like that one we have a 180 so these more
abrasive ones right here it's going to be for those uh more intricate uh dents or scratches
so we're going to sand it down a lot faster with these uh 120 180 or 320 grits and then those uh
the sandpapers i'm going to show you right now a little bit finer and these are going to be like
just like your minor scuffing of like uh debris on parts so you're going to need 800 400 400 grit
we have 600 grit these are both paper and the one I'm going to show you right here is going
to be a trizack so basically it has that uh velcro backing to it but the difference between the 400
and the 600 on this one right here is that it's more flexible you see so you can use like
using some bumpers or anything that's a lot more curves to it versus this one right here so you
guys can see it's kind of flat and if you guys actually feel this one it's it doesn't really
bend that well so because it gets stuck in just like paper it kind of gets like that um
that point right there where it's a little bit harder to maneuver through like those
uh curves or little crevices so that's why you always want two of these same things
and then we're going to use the blocks so blocks are used for making sure your
you're evening out like the sand scratches or you're not contouring the uh area that you kind
of fixed with your hands so you always want something flat like this so this is a block
and these blocks is used by these sandpaper right here and they have teeth basically right there
so you just put it in there press down on it you know grab same thing on the other side
so you guys can see now it's grabbing and just go ahead and sand down with this thing
then you guys have something like this so something circular like this
is going to be ideal also because you're going to have like those curves you know
that you want to get into so you can't use this block right here because it's flat
so it doesn't contour to those uh curved areas and this block right here is from duralast so it comes
with like a couple of them there's like small ones circular then there's like blocks like this one
and then blocks like this one so they all you utilize them in different areas but for this one
right here it's going to be used for curve areas and you got to get one of these sticky ones see
with the sticky ones they actually go on to these blocks and they stick down like that
so then you can go ahead and contour the area you want and make it
even same thing on this one right here it acts just like this one but as you guys can see the
sandpaper doesn't have any uh stickiness to it that's why this one right here has the uh teeth
so it grabs the sandpaper but if you guys have one of these just stick it on there okay
same thing on this one right here this one's just like a flat um dual block so it's flat
and you kind of it's a little bit harder to grasp because it doesn't have like that uh big
wide area right here but it still does the job i mean i like this one i prefer this one a lot more
all right so we got the blocks and we also have like different variations of these blocks you know
so this one also has a velcro this one's by big kid blocks this one's
pretty unique also because i think it utilizes this tool
no actually so it has a velcro and a sticky this one's not long enough but you guys can see
onto the back and you can sand down but the unique thing about this one right here it has a uh like
this cylinder looking thing and it kind of helps you grab it so i like this one a lot better than
all of these actually all right guys so i know i went through a lot of things on this side with the
sandpaper and the blocks but if you guys go to this video right here we're gonna show you guys
actually how to use and utilize these uh different types of sandpaper okay let's go ahead and get
on this side right here it's going to be tape essential tapes you guys need you're going to need
this uh masking tape right here it's yellow this one's going to be a fine line tape so basically
whenever you guys doing those two tone colors or if it's going to be like a difference between
a a painted portion and a non-painted portion and you want to make a clean uh line use one of these
then we got a exacto blade or you could have a razor blade and that's just to cut like fine
lines with these uh tape then over here i got a squirt bottle it's gonna be with uh one it's
like one drop of like dawn soap and filled it up with uh water right there this one helps me
wet sand basically and i can show you guys the technique on that one also
over here is going to be lugon so goo gone you're gonna be careful with this one right here because
if you don't clean it off really well it's gonna cause chemical reaction on your paint
side but we use this because our vendors or the oem providers have like stickers
that tell you what brand it is and where it's manufactured from you want to take that sticker
off and it's sometimes a lot harder and does just like residue that sticks on the panel
use goo gone to take that off all right so on this side right here
it's going to be your um putty so it's going to be a glaze putty and there's also bondo so we
don't you we don't utilize bondo here because that's for major bodywork and stuff like that
but bondo's another it's another agent that kind of fixes um major repairs
we use putty because we're just fixing like small little dents small little scratches here and there
so with the putty or the metal glaze from evercoat we use the base of it and then a hardener on it
and then we got different sizes of spatulas or scrapers so basically these things right here we
utilize them to spread the metal glaze onto the affected area all right so one thing that one
thing that's not on the table is actually very important it's a mass so let me go get that for
you guys all right so this is very important you got to wear a mask because whenever you're sanding
down there's going to be a little particles that come up for these parts and those particles are
called e-coat or just uh from sanding down this thing you don't want to breed that in so basically
you get this n95 is it yeah n95 respirator mask from 3m or any brand works too i think nowadays
with coved we're kind of familiar with these uh respirators okay so utilize this to make sure
you don't breathe in all that toxic uh elements off of these uh e coats or this putty right here
all right so you guys can see my hand right here is
dirty already from just touching these things well
so you don't have to wash your hands so many times use gloves gloves are so essential for me
because basically whenever you use the sandpaper and stuff like that your hand gets all rough and
all that stuff and last but not least you're gonna need that primer all right so primer
it's a bonding agent so whenever you break through like uh the e-coat you're gonna need a primer
because if you don't primer it then you're gonna have like uh reactions or the paint won't stick to
the actual panel and also you need primer whenever you're using one of these things you know if it's
a large enough area like a dime size i always tell my guys if a dime size is more primary okay
so there's two different types of primer we use this primer right here for like little small areas
and it's a spray can like that and then we have one on a gun so whenever it's a bigger area
okay so this is the essential things that you guys need if you have any questions about these
any of these items right here comment down below all right guys so if you're opening up a shop and
you're trying to get into the profession of like painting you're gonna need all this stuff okay but
if you were like me back in the days where i was just doing like small little panels for my mom and
dad well the only things i usually use was a block like this i only actually used like um 600 and 400
to sand down some of the stuff that i needed to uh scuff up and then uh what else did i need and tape
this yellow tape because i wanted to mask off like couple areas here and there on the
part that i didn't want to paint but yeah so for simplicity wise you're going to need
yellow tape a block 400 grit and 400 grit and 600 grit if you're just those weekend warriors okay
all right guys i know this is a lot of information right here so but it's okay
because we're gonna make a lot of videos to make sure like you guys understand how to use all these
materials but go ahead and subscribe to our channel so you guys can follow along
all right guys so the essential things that you guys need to start off painting
first and foremost always have a face mask okay so there you go you don't want to breathe in any
of these toxic chemicals on inside these uh paint cans like i think they call it VOC's
um forgot the acronyms or whatever's in acronyms but basically it's bad things okay you don't want
to breed any of those particles inside your uh your nostrils or inside your body because
that causes cancer and a lot of like birth defects so always, always wear face masks
no space mask comes in one of these 3m the best one
then one thing that i that i regretted not wearing when i first started but i started wearing it
from then on a paint suit you got to wear a painting because like you got pores
all over your body and in your neck and whenever like those uh whenever you're spraying and it
falls on you it's gonna automatically it's gonna be consumed by your body okay so you
don't wanna do that either so you gotta wear this paint suit let me show you guys how to wear it
pretty easy you know how to put on your pants you know how to put on a paint suit
it's going to get hot in this paint suit but trust me you're going to get used to it
and you're going to appreciate wearing this paint suit
so sip it up and then this thing right here you shouldn't wear a hat
or wear like that all right you're like a little astronaut and hopefully i don't have to say this
but sometimes common says not common sense to other people don't wear flip-flops inside the
paint booth or where are you painting okay close-toed shoes all the time all right let
me take this off the other thing that you guys gonna need or utilize it's gonna be gloves okay
so any uh non-powdery gloves you're gonna need that so protect your hands from paint basically
and also you don't want to touch any of the uh parts with your bare hands because your hands
has oils and oil is very bad for pain okay chemical reactions all the time uh the other
thing would be let's see here tack cloths all right so we're attack clots like these things
let's see if i have one that's already uh used all right so this was already kind of worn out but
tack cloths okay so you're gonna slide this onto the uh parts that you're painting so
you can get rid of all those little fabrics or those little lids and stuff like that that goes
onto those paint uh onto those parts all right so that's gonna get give you a clean uh panel
all right so now i'm gonna get to the tools the the fun stuff basically
so we're gonna have a paint gun well this is my beginner paint gun right here okay guys you don't
got to go too expensive but get something that you're comfortable with it's within your price
range once you guys become an expert i'm going to show you guys where you guys going to end up at
okay so an hvlp paint gun high volume low pressure that's what you guys gonna use okay that's a new
that's a new type of gun well it's been used for a long time but the old-schoolers they
use like the um the siphon ones where it's like a big one and it's like uh you can't
turn it upside down you can only utilize the top motion okay so hvlp that's the way to go
then of course you guys kind of need a cleaning uh surface cleaner right here okay this is gonna
take away all those contaminants on those panels make it clean and uh ready for you
guys to spray and uh have those uh have a very clean paint job basically okay
second thing you're gonna need this towel right here a blue towel okay don't use the white towel
that you guys are used to at home don't use that because it has fabrics or little lengths
on it okay you want something blue like this one or a microfiber towel
this one right here you know save the saved environment you can reuse this one and wash
it again this one right here to uh wipe off the surface cleaner okay all right
and then paint of course when you guys starting off you guys gonna buy paint the color that you
guys need to paint that part okay it comes in containers like this all right you gotta get that
local body uh at the local paint shop all right so you guys need this cup also where you're gonna
pour that paint inside of it and then you're gonna attach it to your gun okay so your gun usually
comes with its own uh it's like a, aluminum can on it so you guys can use that also okay
and then you're gonna need a cleaning uh kit so basically a cleaning kit right here
we also have a video up here that's gonna show you guys how to clean your gun properly okay
so again cleaning kit keep those guns clean okay
all right so those are the basics okay so when you're watching this video we're gonna start off
from the basics from the beginner level all the way to the expert once you guys become
an expert this is what's gonna happen you're gonna use better guns okay you're gonna have
one of these guns okay don't start off with one of these unless you're rich you got all
that money in your pocket okay because this is a thousand dollar uh gun right here once you get
used to a painting you guys start buying better and better guns you're gonna appreciate these guns
even more so for me as a beginner i like to start off with something cheap like this okay so i know
exactly the difference so i can appreciate a gun like this one right here this one's going to be
asada top of the line gun right here also hblp or rp rp is a another type of gun but start off with
hvlp okay this one is a digital one right here it makes your life so much better but if you don't
know how to use it you're not gonna know how how to actually how this thing actually changes your
life okay that's one right there and then once you guys get to high volume and you actually painting
daily and within every hour you're gonna have to use a different type of a mass okay so over here
all right so this is what we utilize here okay so since we paint so much we want to protect
our body we want to protect our lungs from all those uh toxic uh elements inside those paint
so we wear one of these things it presses down it, it actually uh puts a fresh air
into our system so we're not breathing in those toxic chemicals so okay so this is
going to be the next level up this one right here uh our i think our shop spent almost um
without the air compressor i say like six thousand dollars just for all this
so next thing instead of buying your paint
instead of buying your paint from the local body uh look i keep saying body shop
the local paint shop you're gonna start utilizing one of these this is called a
paint bank okay the bank has different toners where you can mix up any color you want
i think there's like almost a million colors that we can mix up so once you get to this level
which you will be if you keep watching this video you guys gonna get to this level right
here where you guys mix it mix your own paint okay and then you see oh yeah that's about it
all right guys so since i already showed you guys all the materials you guys need
to learn how to paint and prep follow us on next video so we can go ahead and put those tools into
use and let's start prepping our parts hey guys i do want to thank you again for watching our
