I love your confidence and attention to detail on these hard working old trucks! I’d like to see these owners have the aluminum and chrome professionally polished.

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

Thanks a ton! I appreciate it. This owner already told me that he is looking to do that very soon, in fact.

Literally the only question I have about your channel is, why don’t you have a million subscribers already??! Your videos are amazing and you do great work. I love this channel it’s my favorite, I don’t drive trucks nor do I paint, but it’s super cool to see your works and watch the change on these semis… this is my favorite one so far, that’s sick

Good looking work truck! One of the last reliable years. Have you tried spraying rubberized undercoating or something similar on the inside of those fiberglass fenders? Wondering if it would help prevent them starbursting so easily.

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

Those particular fenders have a foam layer built into the center to prevent stars. sometimes ill just use spray paint to blacken them out though. Thanks a lot!

Love your work, this isn’t a negative comment at all, . Do you go underneath and paint? I’ve never seen you actually under the truck painting

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

thanks a lot! Certain chassis and trailers get the underside painted if the situation calls for it or if the customer requests it. of course...their price would reflect such things. If you check out my FB page and go back a few posts...you'll see a chassis and a couple of trailers we did a few years back for a North Dakota oilfield transport company in a memory I posted fairly recently. In that post, theres numerous pics of the entire underside of some of the equipment we did for them for you to look at.

[@65kw_w923]

Nice work, Are you using single stage paint on these trucks or base/clear?

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

thank you very much! I use a single stage 2k urethane most generally.

Hey Ray, whats the best paint after sandblasting a frame on a trailer.. someone told me bridge paint... any suggestions

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

There are many different schools of thought and answers to this question. I use the same paint on chassis as i do trucks. A single stage 2K urethane. Stay away from sherwin williams paint though. That includes valspar and martin senior as well. overrated garbage. PPG, Imron, Nason are all good brands. I shoot 2 coats of epoxy primer on chassis. sometimes 3. Then 2 coats of a quality 2K urethane.

[@LeslieOdell-jv3yp]

How long does it take for a typical repaint

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

1 to 2 weeks usually.

[@scottreed5460]

As a laymen, is there a reason you choose a sprayer with reservoir on the bottom vs. the typical sprayer we see painters use? Thx

[@oliverroedel1111]

quantity I guess. 600ml vs. 5l or so. he can paint without stopping and re filling the 600ml reservoire of a paint gun. the only thing I want to know is how much thinner he uses to clean up this tank and 1000 mile hose hahhaa

[@scottreed5460]

@@oliverroedel1111 That makes sense I guess

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

A siphon gun is what I've always used and am most used to. I've purchased and tried 2 different HVLP guns before, but didn't like the size or location of the reservoir on either of them. For all the tight spots I end up getting into with my spray equipment...having the tank on the bottom just works better for me. Plus, you can set them down anywhere without concern of spillage. However, on this particular truck...when I both primed and painted in black...I used my 2 and a half gallon pressure pot simply because I was laying out so much material and didnt want to be interrupted with the constant refilling.

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

I typically go through a half gallon of thinner cleaning my pressure pot. You're right about the quantity though.

What was wrong with those fenders?

[@teams.t.e.a.m6214]

One was a fiberglass replacement that was poorly installed and was broken in a few spots because of it. Repairable... but combined with the fact that it was cheaply manufactured to begin with...the customer and I agreed that a new set would be the best solution. The other was stock and had cracks forming in the side of it and was hailed out as well...so the decision just made sense
