Hey, Aaron Im doing a hood that had a chip in it when I was colorsanding, and buffing. Tried to fix the chip, and didn't work. It's a candy black cherry pearl with black as your base color. I filled the chip with glazing putty, and sanded it down with 600. Gonna prime, and redo the coats in that area. Question is I painted the whole hood inside and out, and I can blend the black, and candy. Just waning to know if can blend the clear in the small area where it will last or, do I have to reclear the whole hood? I hate taping off the bottom of the hood cause when I do that there's always tape lines. Any help on this would be much appreciated. Enjoying your channel. Thanks

As soon as I found out that the premium membership had been reduced to $7/mo, I signed up. It's less than a beer at a nice bar, so for me, it was a no brainer. I showed up for the chat yesterday morning, and got a chance to have Aaron answer a bunch of questions specific to my project, and also provide advice on how to proceed on my project. If you're a pro, it may not be worth it for you, but if you're new to the auto painting scene, like me, it's definitely money well spent. Many thanks to Aaron for putting all this together, and for being so willing to share his knowledge with us all.

Just an unsolicited thought from another member... If you've been on the fence about the Premium membership, I'd encourage you to give it a try. I've been attending the weekly live calls for the past few weeks, and because there were so few members, I've often had Aaron all to myself for an hour. Those sessions have probably accelerated my learning more than anything else. Now that the membership is only $7/month, I honestly think it's one of the best values out there if you're serious about improving your skills. I'd love to see more people join the calls — not because anyone asked me to say this, but because I think hearing other people's questions, challenges, and experiences would make the discussions even more valuable for everyone. Hope to see some of you on a future call!

I intent to apply a sealer before my base coat. My question is should I apply an epoxy sealer or a urethane. I know the epoxy is best if I have any burn throughs in the primer. However with modern technology is it acceptable to use a urethane sealer if it is rated dtm? I’ve seen a lot of arguments against any urethane with a dtm label.

I am getting started on building my paint booth. It will be modular, 12 x 24 ft, with 6 x 8 ft panels that will be fastened together. I've got a 5000 cfm exhaust fan, and was planning to use it to blow air into a plywood plenum, through a dozen intake filters, and then exhaust out the other end through exhaust filters. This will be inside my 40x50 shop that has heat and AC. It will pull conditioned shop air in, but I am uncertain if it can be just be exhausted through the exhaust filters into the shop, or if I need to make it a negative pressure booth, pulling air out and exhausting it outside. I was thinking of using zipwalls to allow me to enter/exit, and also for the truck parts to enter and exit. I would sure appreciate any info/recommendations anyone to help me figure this all out.
