I used sikaflex 227 mate can get it at auto body shops or even a local bunnings stock it 👍🏼

Thanks mate

Cheers mate, Thats the go mate that sounds like a good project. Thats all that matters mate long as you can get it out and enjoy it kids will love it

Cheers mate appreciate the comment and the feedback

I wish i was doing mine bro, yeah the rumours could be true but i heard the bloke that owns it is a lazy prick and has given up on it 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@vautorefinishing7672 nah haven’t giving up on it. Was just waiting for an awesome painter to clear up a bit of room in the shed. 😂😂😂 it’ll get there one day. 😅😅😅

Sounds like the painter needs to pull his finger out then 😅

@@vautorefinishing7672 I’m a patience guy. Hahahaha. Get a couple cars done and then we shall talk. 😉😉😉

Cheers Matt, im sure there will be more commodore content in the future haha

Nah mate, its been repainted in 2 pack at some point, all the inners i did were still original acrylic though but now its all 2 pack

Cheers mate! Appreciate it will do

Yeah Don it is but unfortunately its a pretty common thing , fixing dodgy work , matching colours that are nothing like its supposed to be you name it haha all part of the job though

Thanks mate really appreciate it 👍🏼

Thanks Darren appreciate it mate 🤙🏼

Thanks mate, ive also got a factory alpine white they just look clean when well looked after and timeless

@@vautorefinishing7672 Bloody oath, good stuff

Its a good old girl, pity whoever has painted it in the past butchered it. I’d love to be able to respray it but its only in for what i did unfortunately

Thanks Mate, ive been busy in my shed just waiting until i have enough good footage to put something together thats hopefully a good video

Thanks mate, its definately looking much better now than what it was

Thanks Mate, should be going home this week if lucky hope the owners a happy man

Thanks man, yeah it really can be a nightmare hey what system do you use? Ppg as well or something else?

@@vautorefinishing7672 Unforunately i don't have a system i'm just a one man band in a small unit and rely on my local paint supplier. I have a little advantage i've been painting for 47years and apprieciate what you guys do,

Thanks mate much appreciated, it would definately suit an older commodore for sure and i reckon something with heaps of chrome and stainless would look good too

Haha yeah bro this booths a little different to mine 😂 yeah it would look killer on something with big sweeping lines and plenty of chrome and stainless for sure. I was considering doing my EH this colour but id devastated if it got scratched or marked haha cheers brother

Cheers mate it is definately a nice red

Cheers brother appreciate that heaps , has been awhile just havent got enough clips together yet for the next video on my stuff so thought this one might do until the next proper one cheers bruz

Cheers for the comment mate appreciate it , it definately looks wild when you first see how the colour comes from that hey

@vautorefinishing7672 💯 mate 👌 Would never of thought that's how it was done.. My daughter has a 12mth old Cx5 in Machine Grey.. About 6mths after owning a bloke run into it, he paid to have it repaired.. He was blown away a the cost bcs similar process with her colour to mate..

Yeah pretty expensive, funnily enough Machine grey uses one of the same tinters that is also used in the 46v ground coat in ppg and its expensive as so i fully understand how he was blown away

Thanks Don , glad to hear you enjoyed it. I wasnt sure if people would enjoy it because its not the normal ‘cool resto’ sort of stuff that i normally do. I’ll do more depending on the car and colour but may be few and far between but we’ll see how this one goes cheers

No worries man, let me know what it was about the compressor that made you feel underwhelmed so i can try and replicate it and see if mine differs at all?

Good to hear your keen mate, reckon the Ute will come up a treat, are you revealing the colour early?? 😂 My compressor won’t go above 105-110 psi for a start on the gauge at. Least, and with just one orbital going continuous it runs out of steam, you can hear. The sander change pitch as it loses air? Just seems to not keep up how I thought it would, should be able to run 2 of those sanders flat out?? 🤷‍♂️

Haha i dont discriminate mate , its actually refreshing to tell you the truth 😂 keen to rip right in

Thats all good mate cheers for the heads up, im not painting anything in the shed just flickin some epoxy and primer here and there but will keep that in mind, was looking at moving it towards the back end of the shed anyway to prevent it getting full of dust and overspray

Nah mate you dont have to mask off previously done panels as you said its got to be rubbed anyway. I only do it because im just in the habit of doing it, i dont want overdpray over the dash or engine bay so i could get away with just masking those up

Wow really? Thanks bro i appreciate that heaps! The EH isnt mine its actually my father in laws but i do have an EH also myself that both will be future projects. The EH will be getting started on in approx 3-4 months im hoping

Thanks mate, thats good to hear im just trying to get work done and give as much advice and tips as i can. Thats exactly right whats easy to me and known may not be known or easy to a DIY guy especially if its the first time they are having a go at it

Yeah they always are lookin out for us car people arent they the pricks, im only doing the body and paint on this one then it will be back to the owner to deal with all of that fun stuff

Thanks Russel appreciate the comment, i’ll look into doing a video on it soon im just wanting to throw as much stuff at it as i can and see how it goes so i can give an honest opinion on it

Thanks mate , yeah so far im pretty impressed with it, its done everything ive thrown at it so far with no issues
