[@MrBest4tyres]

all the commenters with hate towards chad and how he does things please show us what you can do before you comment ..make your own you tube channel and lets see how you do it .. chads work is amazing its called metal art. not many people in the world have the talent to make a bugatti from scratch ... thanks jolene for speaking out in your last video keep up the good work

[@jamesv9928]

I concur.....

[@joelav7222]

Doesn’t matter what Chad does it’s not going to please everybody.. it’s all good ,negativity will always be there… Sit back and enjoy the show..life is too short to worry about what people think . Looks 👀 like Chad is having fun anyway..

[@daniellaws9351]

Love that you take your time explaining your process and the camera work from Jolene.

[@fonhollohan2908]

Chad you are worthy of your hire, clear basic instructions, we can't ask for better than that, cheers Chad and Jolene Love your content God bless.

[@charlielemmons5525]

I can't wait to see how this turns out. Being plastic puts a whole new twist to the job. Chad and Jolene keep doing what you do.

[@TheBringerOfRain]

The best tutorial I’ve seen on sanding a car.

[@ConvictsCranium]

Hands down. The amount of detail is incredible.

[@alsnow3582]

I had a 1986 Fiero GT. It was one of the most fun-to-drive cars I've ever had and I've had quite a few. Would still love to have one now. Thanks Chad for bringing back some memories.

[@larryboy8821]

The GT's we're V6's I think? It was the better model. My buddy back then had a standard 4 cylinder model, thing could go anywhere..snow would rip the door panels off though. He did a bunch of head gaskets and clutches, but it was a really fun car.

[@markaubuchon6265]

Me too.

[@williamburdon6993]

I am so glad you guys came back, I know there are some less than nice people out here, but the vast majority of us, enjoy watching you bring your expertise, to the comfort of our homes, and we look forward to every project. I hope you can both ignore the negative people, and go back to enjoying what you do for everyone. I.m going to bed now, see you guys tomorrow. The JagWag is really looking great.

[@davidhiggins3600]

You can please all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time. Wise words from a chap called Lincoln. Just keep doing what you're doing. This is better than watching TV.

[@ate-updesigns9186]

At my regular job...anticipating this episode..even though I've been here for every episode. Always something to learn from Chad or his friends even..Jim has alot of knowledge..be back later to view thanks guys

Chad I have a lot of respect for u and Jolene. I am a well age man . I have never in all my days living ever see anyone build vehicles like u . Much Much respect for u and Jolene and each crew member. I want everyone to know it would be a honor to own a vehicle that Chad has build because he builds his vehicles from the heart not from someone telling him how.

[@petersemple9278]

This is absolutely the most interesting fishing show I have watched in some time. The Blue Fin Tuna is quite a difficult fish to land. Oh oh, looks like the video changed while I was making a sandwich. Never mind, this looks pretty cool too!

[@clifc6351]

I watched for like 10 minutes and picked up how to sand my peeling clear coat. Thank You very much. Thank You Jolene for your camera work.

[@ejharrop1416]

Excellent to see the process and techniques that Chad uses. Enjoyed watching and hope you all are having a better day today and the haters leave you guys alone or just plain go away. There was an expression a long time ago, 'don't go away mad just go away' lol Thank you, take care and peace out!!

[@baldanddangerous1572]

@Ate-up-Designs i had a smile on my face at your post ,i was known as the divit king lol until someone showed me the proper way

[@benpease4497]

Super excited to see how this turns out! I love the fabrication videos, but it's great to see some finishing related ones too!

[@mark110101]

Another information packed lesson from a great teacher, even though it was only sanding preparation. Still valuable information to learn on the how-to sand, and not leave finger tracks, then the tips on spraying the primer on the bare spots, before applying a full primer coat, Excellent tips, Cracking work as always from the Hiltz crew, hats off to Chad and Jolene

[@baldanddangerous1572]

@Mark thanks for commenting Mark and glad your enjoying this series

[@earlallen2343]

Appreciate you taken the time to explain the basics of preparing a vehicle for paint, the do's and don't. God bless you and yours Chad, in Jesus Name. Have a wonderful day my friend.

[@clydette56]

I love watching you work and explain the whys of what you're doing. I learn from you and you make it easy.

[@rickdarr5323]

Thanks for the tips. I never painted a whole vehicle but plan on painting my truck 2 tone. I have learned a lot of things over the years and 90 % I have kept.. the 10 % I threw away is stuff I don't have the guts to do.. lol keep up the awesome work! Thanks again Chad, Jolene and Fina.

Great demo of what can happen when you sand with your finger tips👍

[@tomcrosby9959]

Baaad Chad, can't wait for Friday! Love all the tips and tricks. Tell the Mrs. She does exceptional work! Watched her video and haters are gonna hate. She must have a heart the size of a Hemi! Keep up the good work!

No worries Chad, I’ll be watching every day.

[@RolandFieldsTV]

Good show. I learned a lot about sanding. Thank Chad and Joleen.

[@teampenn-simradfishing1274]

Great Stuff . Cheers Guys n Gals The Fiero basically uses three kinds of plastic: reaction-injection-molded (RIM) polyurethane, a "soft" plastic designed to take knocks on the front and rear bumpers; reinforced-reaction-injection-molded (RRIM) polyurethane, a harder, but still supple plastic used on the sides and doors of the Fiero; and a harder sheet molding compound (SMC), used on the roof, the hood and trunk lid.

[@hickeyskustomresto]

These cars were highly underrated. Nice to see them being worked on.

[@davidelack8809]

Been away for a few episodes .Jag is looking great. Had some questions at the start,just shows my foolishness not trusting the process! Never doubt the Chad!

[@joegorden9810]

Thank you so much for teaching us your methods. I always learn something new when I watch one of your videos . And Jolene is an awesome camera person

[@DrShankenstein]

This was a very soothing and informative episode. Thank you so much for posting it!

[@jbee65tv83]

Hi Chad , I love watching your content , but to have to watch Jolene asking about the haters in her short video the other day really made me feel for her , you could genuinely see her upset about some people's comments . Please rest assured that these people are very much in the minority. Keep on doing your thing and I for one will keep on watching and taking from it what I want and throwing away what I don't . Jolene please just keep on with your great work and don't worry about the haters , much love and peace to you both 👍😉😍

[@richardblock4506]

I tried some diluted Dawn liquid for cleaning wax and oils off when I was out of paint shop wax remover based on Chad's thought process and from comments over the years about never using dishwasher liquid because it will remove the wax. Seems to work. The twist on sanding is I use a blow gun on the sanded surface and the sand paper which gives the sandpaper a longer useful life but I usually do that outside. Chad's sanding advice is right on. I bought a vette the previous owner sanded the wrong way and as he says the finger marks do show through and are magnified by the finished paint. Proper sanding technique is important especially on fiberglass or abs.

[@arrievanrensburg8243]

thanks Chad and Jolene , I was waiting for this video as I am at the same stage with my car aswell as my grandson's car.

[@greggmoorman5985]

Amazing job Chad, amazing camera work by the most beautiful camera person, Jolene.

[@jerryfaulkner6518]

A lot of people with old cars, trucks and tractors use Spray Nine as a good mild, but effective cleaner. It works well under the hood and on engine too.

Great vid today! Nice useful tips, also Jolene had some awesome (and accurate) camera angles. I liked the camera angle that captures the orange peel under sand marks during hand sanding!

[@kevinmcleod3741]

Bad chad and Sinatra have in common ? I did it my way ! Pay attention folks we may learn something ! Thumbs-up Jolene 👍 Chad 👍 Jim and Aidyn 👍 Thanks Chad !

[@josephdowns9274]

Great video and I love the Pontiac fiero I had a 1987 gt 2.8 V6 later on I put a 327 Chevy engine in it man what fun that car was

[@frankrobert674]

All I can say is there are many jealous people in this worly,that wish the had sum knowledge of how to fix and repair.,too many complainers.Thanks Chad and Joleen jobs well done

[@ronhonig]

The Jag is looking great. Can't wait to see it sitting lower like you said previously.

[@monadking2761]

Love how you keep using house hold things like you use to clean and de- grease. I never heard of simple 9, I think you said. I use simple vinegar to strip rust off the metal before I rework it too. It's cheap and it works. Keep the knowledge coming.

[@baldanddangerous1572]

MonadKing thanks for your kind comment ,we have live chat on the channel everyday where you would be most welcome there you can watch the days video and interact with other chatters

[@barry0517]

Chad, thank you so much for all your knowledge. I have 1985 Fiero 2M6 SE in Calgary, AB and the paint is dead on most of the car. Next summer I am going to fix that.These video's you have posted prepping and painting Tim's car. Have shown me how! Thanks man! YOU ROCK! By the way, it's red too.😉

Happy birthday Jolene hope you had a good birthday the other day,,, good luck with the project

[@cannabisticannabisticino2718]

Spray nine is supposed to be a powerful universal cleanser and degreaser. On this side of the ocean we have a similar product called Chanteclair, my mechanic also uses it to clean the engine when he has to prepare the car for overhaul. 😉 Great job guys. 👍 Greetings from Switzerland

[@smokindomain]

Excellent timing Chad, I have a car needing a respray and this video is just the thing I was looking for. It’s a 1986 Toyota Cressida, stock as a rock! It was my grandmothers car. Can’t wait to make it shine again! Take care mate and enjoy this amazing day. Dino, Brisbane.

Chad, excellent job explaining the importance of proper sanding. Could you PLEASE, PLEASE do a video of painting and explaining the paint gun tip and the proper pressures to apply, paint and or primer, to get a very flat, non orange peel jobs that you get. I know it has to do with gun tip and proper pressures to make the paint lay flat and get that excellent gloss you always get on your jobs. Thank you and Jolene for what you do for us!!! That car at the end of the video is gonna be a HOT hot rod for sure! Love the lines it has!!!

[@michaelmcnicholl608]

Thank you very much Chad and Jolene for taking the time to slow down and share the basics of sanding with us. I have a project that I have been dragging my feet on. A hood that has lost the paint and clear coat in many spots because of burn through from the sun due to being from the state of Utah U.S.A., which is in the desert. I brought it home to Michigan and need to fix the paint work. I really appreciate you walking me through what I need to do. Now I need to watch some of the videos you both have done on prepping and painting so I can try to make it look good again. I’m not looking for perfection as it’s a 2005 daily driver so I don’t want to spend prices of taking it to a shop. Thanks again, I’m sure with your tutorial I’ll be able to make it look decent. 👍🤜 I always learn something from you and it’s much appreciated.
