😂 I had way too much fun making this one
I just uploaded a video covering 5 masking techniques I wish I knew 20 years ago when I first started painting. None of these are crazy tricks. They're just simple things I do on almost every paint job that save time, make blending easier, and help avoid those "well... that was dumb" moments. 😅 If you're doing spot repairs or just want cleaner results without making more work for yourself, I think it might be helpful

Single Stage or Base-Clear?
I went through the courses and found them very helpful, thank you. I'm planning to paint my car a medium/dark grey, solid color, near the original color for a 1949 Plymouth. I've sprayed the car with black epoxy primer on bare metal and am working through the filler and high build primer phases. As a novice, do you recommend I use a single stage paint or go with base and clear coat?

I think it really comes down to what you're trying to achieve. If it's a solid color I'd definitely consider single stage. Just know that it asks a little more from your spray environment. You really want everything clean before you start because, unlike a basecoat/clearcoat job, you can't stop and nib sand between coats if a piece of dirt lands in the paint. The upside? When everything goes well, it's really rewarding. A good single stage job can come out looking amazing right off the gun. I've had really good luck with Nason Ful-Thane. Here's an FJ40 I sprayed with it a while back. It came out great straight from the gun - no cutting, buffing, or polishing here.

Porphis made a reply to my comment on YouTube to your video Aaron. They are now including extra gaskets in the gun kit after your review video. 👍🏻👍🏻
