FINAL SAND DOWN WITH 400 GRIT BEFORE SPRAYING SINGLE STAGE URETHANE PAINT

[@barry0517]

Glad Jolene you are a task master. Glad Chad has taught us all the value of 40/80/220/400 and why to use Guide Coat and primer. Real eye opener for us neophytes. I personally love his fabrications and creativety. That’s what I watch the show for. Thank you.

[@72monte61]

I have learned so much watching this series, thanks Chad & Jolene ! As a soon to be retired 31 years as a cop I plan on spending my free time in the garage and your videos have helped instill confidence in me to tackle these projects. BTW I actually used one of the life hacks Chad showed where he poked a hole in the top of the paint can to drain the paint back into the can. Lol

[@stephencarr2216]

I love watching your videos here in the uk, Chad, You say if your healthy you should be happy, I’m disabled and suffer a lot of health problems, I’m still happy I’m alive, Keep up the great work you both do, Ps, Jolene I love to see you welding sanding and spaying, Also your video skills and editing is really professional, Chad is a very lucky man to have you, Working and living with your partner is very hard to do, It shows you are meant to be together, My wife and I are like you too, Sending you both love and best wishes 🙏🏻❤️👍

Jolene congratulations! I just read the article. I'm so glad you are being appreciated for the hard work you have done and are doing.

I wish I would have known tp use a guide coat on my hood a few months ago. It's been painted black and shows every imperfection. I learn something new every day watching these videos. Thanks!

[@dabluesjazzart536]

Chad love the KZbin episodes. I watch most of your content right now about priming and sanding and priming and sanding some more and guide coting and sanding till I'm no longer focusing on my illness. Today I've subscribed at New Year's Day 2022 and proud that I'm learning from the best. . . Thank You

[@timprather5261]

Keep up the great work I painted my first car about 2 years ago I love doing body work...when I retire from truck driven that's my next calling.

[@chadsmiley6757]

I rarely comment on the videos. But have been following you guys the whole time. Not a car builder but love seeing it done in an old school kind of way. You guys are awesome and much respect to you. Much love and respect from Pa... USA

[@bacres]

I'm blown away by how simple you make this all sound.. I Just got done restoring a 62 VW bus.. but the body and paint was done by someone else.. I had to jump in and spray a few panels after messing them up.. did it several times as I wasn't happy with my work the first few times.. I wish I had seen this video series before that.. you have given me the confidence to do my own body and paint work on my next project.. (1957 VW Bug).. Thanks Bad Chad!!

[@maxwellvonehlen552]

Bad Chad back in the mid 80's when I worked in a auto body shop when I sanded guide coat I used to wrap my paper around a cheap dish sponge..it acted like a really soft block and the paper conforms good to tight compound curves

[@DiamondTTrucks]

Sanding Block is your friend......that is all....

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

The cars on his TV show were wavy. I assumed it was just due to rushed timelines and budget limitations not allowing him to block them properly. Watching him do this Jag I'm worried it will be wavy too. Hopefully I am wrong.

[@DiamondTTrucks]

@@TheInsaneShecklador Possibly, and I wish Chad all the luck and quality in the world. He is a hard worker. IMO, It takes the same amount of material , time and energy to sand panels with fingers as it does with a block. Blocks generally make flat planes...fingers create the probability of ripples & valleys. Fingers are usually used in a rush to save time, but in the long run, it's a false economy.

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

@@DiamondTTrucks He is definitely a hard worker and deserves all the success that brings him and Jolene.

Chad, you are really great teaching us professional tips to have success should we attempt our own repairs or restorations.

[@DaS-ys8us]

I have a question about refinishing small areas on a car. My whole life I've bought beater cars. Anything with a good body that maybe needed engine or transmission work. I did some body work in the late 70's and painted a little. Repair it myself and drive it till the unibody wouldn't let you get the front end aligned anymore. I'm wore out now and but still love my beater cars. I want to try doing body work a little at a time and try to prime and paint with a brush, roller, and as little spray as possible. I'm not physically able to do a lot at one time. Could you do a video or two on this topic? Thanks. I've been watching at least a video a day since you finding your channel. Awesome work you two.

[@scottrichard3865]

You crack me up. I first watched you demonstrate sanding body filler, etc. on her car . I am going to say this and take no offence. I thought how annoying. If you said 40 & 80 once, you said it 1k times. I watched the whole thing and a few more for entertainment mostly. It was then I realized. You actually remind me of me trying to teach what I love. Turns out, I also realized it is exactly me, because I am so passionate about what I do. You have a great personality, humorous too. I have made a few lines disappear along the way myself.lol I've built custom Harleys for over 30 years. Started just doing big engines before the whole world started producing them. I think everyone who polishes metal should start with stainless steel and everyone who wants to ride should start with a kick start only stroker. I have done everything there is on a bike including paint, powder coat, machine shop, I have,it all. I will be using what you taught with 40 80 grit. I almost messaged you asking if you were certain on grits as it seemed you weren't serious enough about 40 & 80. ( joking, seriously). I have to redo my 64 GTO. I will also add if you are always that good to your lady, a Hell of a lot of men could use a lesson on the subject. So, yes, I judged before I understood your personality. For that I apologize and admit how wrong I was and why we shouldn't judge folks. Thank you for your videos, I'm glad I happened on to you. It's pretty neat to find passionate people doing what they love. Peace to you and yours. Scotty

1983 i started working in a body shop, first job was to flatten the black primer by hand on two wings, bonnet and from locking panel of a ford fiesta. I rubbed all the paint off till they were shining, didn't know how to hold the paper properly and rubbed till my fingers bled. Learned quite a bit since then. Lol

The paint I got says to sand with 400 grit but I used 800 on it and 1,000 grit I am gonna start using a electric sander in future the air compressor got goes out of air fast is 26 gallon gallon 5 hp about 5.4-5.6 cfm I will use the air spray gun with it just got new spray guns Ronpeng got 3 but still waiting for last one a 1.4 which probably be coming within next two weeks. I tried using a electric spray gun before but it didn't last long for me messed it up I was using epoxy primer though. Now got a 1500 watt infrared heater so could use that to dry paint faster.

[@luissaldarriaga1264]

I really don’t understand how he can get a straight panel sanding it with his hands and then just the DA without using any type of block that’s a make up job in my experience

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

The cars on his TV show were wavy but I assumed he just didn't have the time to get them straight due to filming. Not using blocks on this Jag makes me think this Jag will be wavy too. I hope I'm wrong and he gets it straight.

[@raygandy3352]

Chad. I enjoy your show. I first found you on the Motortrend TV channel, months ago, where you built an old style racecar. Regrettably, they only had one show from you, so I did a search for you on KZbin. Many years ago, when I did my own body work, and before guide coat was known, I used the finish paint color as a guide coat. I also discovered the benefit of block sanding, :). So, I'm surprised that you are using your hands and the DA to finish smoothing the surface. Is it possible to get a flat, no ripple, finish, especially on the surfaces on which you have used your hand to back the sandpaper? On the Bugatti. Are you having seconds thoughts on the width of the front fenders? They look too wide for the narrow tires?

[@stephenhorbatiuk2811]

do you spray one or two coats primer,first with 220 then second with 400 or one coat 220 then 400

[@rogerpritchard]

It's a shame no professional glass fitter could have helped Chad take out the screens for a better job. Anyone who does paint knows painting up to the rubbers is not ideal. Apart from that it's looking great. It's a huge job for just one person. Well done chad👍
