You gave up on Datsun???😢😢😢

removing them suck!

This is a great fyi!

Great Video very detailed and straight forward. Being in South Florida we get the best also Luckily our door doesn't face total direct sun. I am a home improvement guy and anything to cool off the guarge is a win. Looks good to me I will end up doing something very close to this very soon. i would have to agree with what to tell the HOA. I can only speak for our zone if you didn't have an HOA fee and bank that money yearly when major improvements can up you would have plenty to cover it. I couldn't live in a HOA my home is my property and no one will tell me what color I paint my door. Plus I have a have 2 German Shepherd. You have a great setup keep the videos rolling Good Job well done.

Thanks again to government screwing the people. I tried crtris strip, after 24 hours it did nothing, wiped it off, looked like I just waxed it.

The Aircraft aerosol works way better than the paste , the paint just runs off

You mentioned that this is the 1.6L, are there huge differences between this and the 1.8?

Awesome work man if I wasn't broke I would send some money your way maybe in the future

In the description, "The Most Common Oil Leak Spots on the Miata" still says "Coming Soon" the link is kzbin.info/www/bejne/eF6sgppsbNSag9k for anyone wanting that.

I think that was probably not a good compaison to what the general person would use when working with paint remover. The first part you are working with is likely powder coat painted which is completely different than spray on paint. Powder caot paint is a powder that is electrically sprayed on and then backed on. It tends to much thicker and tougher than spray on paint.

Not trying to tell my life story here, but I used to work in an aircraft paint shop. Before I started they would use methylene chloride stripper. They'd spray an airplane down, leave the hangar for lunch and then get to scraping. By the time I started they adopted a new stripper without methylene chloride and they would spray planes with it at the end of the day and leave them overnight just so it had time to work. I totally understand why this stuff is off of the shelves but there's no denying that it worked great. Most of these paint stripper brands tout "works after 15 minutes" but the old super harsh stuff would do it in 15 seconds. No joke. Great video! Thanks for making it.

Very good job. Thanks you 😊

Great video, and really useful. But did you ever consider just getting an awning for your windows? Much more effective to just keep the sun from over hitting your house

Solid video. Thank you.

So awesome man! thanks so much

I can't believe you had any luck with "Aircraft". I can't get that stuff to do jack shit. While not 100% perfect I have had luck with citristrip. Weird because I know they are made by the same outfit. I'll have to try jasco sometime though!

Belt sander

Ughgggh!!!! I gave up, cutting it sucks!!! Gonna try again...

Bro you know u can make WELL WORKING paint stripper from baking soda and vineger for under 2$ / l, right? ;] That's the cheapest solution... Here's ~5$ solution: But when you do: borax, ammonia, washing soda 1:1:1 + add water to make it have kinda paste consistency - it removes every paint in 30 minutes... (if it's thick/many layers u have to repeat ofc) just do it guys, before commenting :P u have vineger and baking soda in home right?

That was a brilliant demonstration, thank you very much 👍

That is rad! nice work

this was amazing. I own a 99 NB and now I finally understood all of the motor parts thanks to your awesome video tutorial on the MX-5 / miata. thanks. 🤙🏎

Dude, mechanical engineer with 40yrs experience here, including welding in heavy industry. Great job. overall. However, for your own safety, and for others who watch: welding produces large doses of full-spectrum UV radiation, including the most carcinogenic Uv (UV-C, which is usually attenuated by the upper atmosphere when it comes from the sun). (GMAW - ie MIG - is especially brutal here.) It is therefore essential to cover all exposed skin to protect yourself from skin cancer. Please don't weld in a T-shirt. I'd sincerely like you to live a long life. Please do not damage your DNA any more in this way. Just a gentle suggestion for your own well-being. Otherwise - great job. A good welding bench pays for itself 100x over in terms of the ROI. Best regards.

Google "Coopers Strip Club" That stuff is the best . It's a New Zealand product

not a good idea to "drop your spark plugs down the chute" unless you like buying new ones or dealing with misfire engine codes since you can easily damage one doing that. best to seat each plug in the spark plug socket and put them in correctly one at a time then torque them to the correct rating.

thanks

A bigger woodruff key would solve that problem too. And you can build it on your own.😇😇

Thank you so much for this guide, truly your time is really appreciated! Got a subscriber out of me! I am a brand new diy mechanic, and my first project car is a Miata have wanted once since 97, finally have time to learn mechanics and enjoy a hobby! Just turned 43 and got a job that pays enough I don’t need to work a ton of Over Time and I can afford to do a project and buy the tools I need!

Thank you so much for this guide

I honstly cannot believe any story that states someone died using paint stripper on a car. If that stuff killed that easy, there is no reason i could be alive today

thank you soo much for such a great instructional video! this has helped me out A LOT

Hope you’re doing well man, your vids got me into restoring my Datsun 260z

Thanks!!! :)

Can you put window film on double pane e rated windows?

Beautiful work and thanks so much for sharing!

Wanted to let you know this video is still helping people! I'm building a utility trailer this Summer and getting all the larger tubing ready for welding, but didn't like how sanding discs chew up the surface and still take a lot of work. Ordered one of these pads from Amazon and it just cut right through the scale in no time. I burned through the entire scotchbrite pad but I've cleaned somewhere around 25-30 square feet of steel in the process. Definitely worth the price for the amount of labor it saved -- thanks for the tip!

This video is soo good

the oliy stuff is called "pickled" and Ive noticed it usually has less mill scale on it.. if your buying small pieces (like 2 x2 or 1x2) lots of places that sell will wipe it down, especially if they are shipping it to you. . "Muratic" acid, (2-7% HLC) works in second s(to destroy mill scale) though you have to wash it off f and dry your work piece thoroughly or it willl rust quickly

just make roller shutters on the outside of the window 😂

The old school strippers were insane. The new stuff sucks but is safer for people not wearing gear.

Fantastic comparison video! It must have been a huge time sink for you but you created the definitive paint stripper review that's helping people years after you made it. Thanks so much!

Hello! Not sure this film is a double pane safe to install.

I have 205/50/15 with 25 offset Advanti Storms on my turbo Miata. I don't seem to have rubbing issues (I don't think). I want to put 225 or 245s on for autocross but I am pretty reluctant on rolling the fenders as I think I wanna try to keep it looking stock/sleeperish.

Wow, This is incredible. One day this will be considered a classic Miata vid.

Cool. But the tests were done on rock bottom THIN paint and primer (car paint). As soon as you try to strip anything thicker than car paint you are in a world of shit. Some areas hold like a mother, others fall off right after applying stripper. Removing the areas that hold kills you. That is how paint or coating thickness works - it does make the surface way, way, way more durable. And beautifully fucked up to strip.

Follow up video? how is it holding up?

excellent, thanks!
