[@dirkg7062]

WOW! It came out nice. Your great at what you do. I like how you take the time to explain how the process is done and I like your sense of humor. Your funny as heck. Keep the videos coming this is great stuff.

[@kars_tony]

[@paulventh7034]

Man that looks damn good 👍 👌

[@kars_tony]

Thank you.

[@Whiskeyitis]

Looks sharp.

[@breweron]

Came out great! Thanks for walking us through your process, it will definitely help when I get to that point. I hope you keep making videos after you’re done with this one. More damn Darts would be great but I’ll keep watching for the humor either way.

[@kars_tony]

Thanks, I have a lot of work ahead of me and I like doing these videos so long as you want to watch I'll keep at it and hopefully get better too.

[@garryhatchett775]

Looks great!

[@kars_tony]

Thanks!

[@mikeman230]

Why do you use that method instead of jam it and then paint with doors and trunk lid on?

[@paulnadeau1]

Very Nice!

[@ADDGarage]

So no wet sanding prior to paint? I've never tried that. Most of what I've done though is enamel.

[@kars_tony]

I'm a dry sand guy...

[@markvietti]

looks great.. what do you do about body filler sucking in 3 month down the road? destroying nice paint jobs....any tricks.

[@kars_tony]

I've never seen that and I've seen my work years after completed. Product shrinking shouldn't be a problem once everything has cured.

[@markvietti]

@@kars_tony I work in a dealership body shop and sometime when there is Bondo on a panel.. I primer with Glassoit primer block it out where its straight and looks good after painting.. 3 months down the road it comes back.. wavy as can be because the bondo shrunk..maybe your not using enough Body filler to suck in or waiting long enough for it to totally cure. I have no control over how much Body filler is used and they always has to get finished fast.

[@class5bodyworks]

​@@markvietti Rule of thumb is to wait an hour after filler to prime. Not all of us do this especially in a fast paced shop. Sounds to me it's more the primer and paint finally fully dried not the filler. Something called urethane wave. Happens after all the solvents finally gas out. You may see differences too when the temperature changes. They might just be getting rushed out the door too quick. Make sure to let every coat flash off properly and don't pound everything on there, especially primer.

nice

18:16 This is the moment where you usually get a call saying "You know how we talked about painting my car Plum Crazy purple? What do you think about Sub Lime green?"

[@kars_tony]

That's funny; there's a factory sublime Dart restoration in my future.

[@KyleEvans-c1c]

Nice job! What brand of paint did you use?

[@kars_tony]

Thank you! I use Matrix, it's a Valspar product.

[@KyleEvans-c1c]

@@kars_tony Are you spraying the edge or the coast to coast base?

[@kars_tony]

I'm in Canada, it's mpb-lv here. There are a few shops that use Edge around here though.

[@smilsmff]

nice and Crazy

[@kars_tony]

New Crazy; I have some 1970 Crazy left over from a previous job, huge difference in color.
