What a blast - well done!

About 1 minute 49 seconds of showing action/work (be it in timelapse, mind you), against 17 minutes 54 seconds of talking. I think you need to find a better balance between the two. I do love the fact you share your thoughts and process, so don't skip on that, but I personally would like to see more action (I believe Elvis made a nice song about that, once. That was later then covered/used by Junkie XL 😂😂). 👍

Fuck a Mack

Looks awesome

Go flying mark😊😊😊😅 7:27 😊😊

Mark I'm genuinely impressed with the amount of love and determination that you insert on these projects...you not only learned yourself a great deal of knowledge,for the ones of us who payed attention of, instead of criticizing of...also learned it as well ..I very greatful for this channel and also much love and respect to the whole Twinsticks Garage family ❤️🇨🇦💙🇺🇸✝️

awsome video mark got lots done thumbs up and shared

Hey Mark, I'm aright with your paint videos. I've stuck it out this long, I'm not going anywhere.

I appreciate all the hours you put into your videos hope one day this could be a full time job for you as you the only real truck builder on KZbin

Its a bore to watch but it'll be worth it when its done right, i look forward to seeing trans am updates sometime soon

This is one of the Needham films that inspires me to make one today that has the same feel and fun. I've been pursuing a career as an indie filmmaker for almost 20 years now. I would love to make a film that has the same sense of pure enjoyment and fun to watch as Smokey and the Bandit. I'm a little bit older than you and am envious of your opportunity to be in those locations where it was shot. They haven't made films like this in decades, and everyone NEEDS a film like this.

It's hard to paint semis I have done 4xs it can be a b with an itch lol 😂, very tireing.

The best way I ever found. Not having a paint booth. Old school way. Like they did lacquer paint. Wet sand in between every coat. 600 to 2,000

Remember you've sanded everything. There's no need for a light coat of clear for adhesion. You can now paint or clear right over the sanded surfaces. Clear must be wet looking enough without over spraying it. While you're spraying, if an area looks dry or thin, spray over that area to correct. Do not wait more than necessary to shoot each additional coat. Each successive coat must be sprayed over a tacky, not dry coat. That's for effective layers of clear to give that deep, sharp reflection.

As a kid, seeing the movie in the theatre..for Christmas, I got the Smokey & The Bandit Record…it’s was a highlight of movie scenes and of course all the Jerry Reid songs. Lost count how many times I listened to it..could say the lines, word for word…and of course goes without saying..I wanted that car soooo bad…had the Model, which I built, the lil’ cast iron cars..like a HotWheel, but I don’t think it was done by hot wheels..can’t remember now lol…but yeah, all through school, and even in my early adult life..always wanted a 76 Black Trans Am

Very awesome but very sad. Thank you for one of the best you tube videos I’ve ever watched.

I'm doing a '99 377 your videos me help out .

The scratches from the DA sander are not swirls, they are pig tails. Swirls are actually lots of very fine straight scratches going in all different directions so they bounce the light all over the place and that gives you the illusion that they are round. Regarding your Ford truck, you should not really be sanding factory clear at all. Factory clear is thinner than a piece of paper and even if you dont go through to the basecoat, you will leave the clear so thin that it will likely fail in the future. Very new vehicles have hardly any clear on them and i wouldnt even advise going too heavy with the polisher alone on them.

Happy new year

Love the Zeppelin at the end

Gday Twin Sticks. Full respect for your determination. I believe that determination is better than talent. I’m sure there would be plenty of professional painters that would say “good enough” I’ll sit through all your sanding in support of your pursuit of the best possible result. You are quite the inspiration. Hats off to you

At what point will good, be good enough?

Cool❤

I know you're working your butt off doing this job

Would've been nice to know where so others could go experience it.

👍🖖

I guess that explain why painters charge us big pile of money to paint

Maybe you should learn the do's and dont's on painting then you wouldn't screwing up so much

Happy New Year everyone .

In today’s episode of Twin Sticks Garage Mark finial accepts the had bitter truth that there ain’t no short cuts when it comes to wet sanding and buffing a paint job on a Peterbilt 359 with lots of orange peel.

Sorry but I'm not taking advice from someone who painted a truck in a garage with plastic hanging up. Then he wonders why it looks bad. I'll take my truck to people who know what there doing.

Grew up in auto body, most don’t understand how much time and work is involved . So looking forward to the reassembly.👍🏽

Great work Mark.

Thanks for all the effort you put in and I appreciate the ‘sanderthon’ you’ve been on this past 12 months! Look forward to more quality content in 2025. Andy 🇬🇧

A plus for deduction Mark ,alot would have said enough is enough. 😊

comes to show the more work you put into your truck the happier you'll be with the end product.

One coat one day one coat the next

Mark, why didn’t you do a wrap instead of spraying it.

I appreciate all your hard work but and I do mean but, enough is enough of the same video after video. Just finish the damn truck

Happy new year !! Now back to work. Your using the wrong tool for the job. Don't use the DA sander, it spins twice for cutting material and that's why you get swirl marks in your finish. Use the orbital sander with progressive grit wet sandpaper. Just don't run it too long in one place, or it will burn the clear.

You prove to me that I will not paint my old Impala. I am thinking of leaving it the rat rod look. You are going the full mile on LBL. Great job.

Ground hog day Mark but like the movie Perfection at the End

You know, there has to be some custom shop out there doing a truck without the hucks, as you said without hucks you would have been done 13.2 episodes ago 😂😂😂 every time I think about painting Gertrude, I watch another one of your episodes 😂😂😂😂 I’m thinking patina looks better and better 😂😂😂 keep it up buddy, going to be awesome when it’s done 👍🏻👊🏼🙌🏼

If people don't like what you're put out then screw them. I like what you're putting out it's fun to see you working in the garage or on the hunt looking at big rigs and or junkyards its nice to see something different. So keep doing what you do.DVT.

now you are Mark 3000
