Bare Metal Re-Spray On A Classic Mini - Multimix Epoxy Primer Application PT1

[@oxyfee6486]

I’ve been a painter for thirty years,one of the best pieces of advice I ever got was to put old brake shoes in front,and behind tires.Air hose never gets caught,slides around the car flawlessly.You do a Awsome job sir.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Great tip man and thanks

[@Mikefngarage]

MY favorite epoxy for high build and blocking is PCL Prime n seal. great adhesion and sealing, plus it is a surfacer so small stuff will block out easy. Powder sand apply filler over it as needed. Great for guide coat and recoating with any urethane high build primer. Otherwise I like to wet bed surfacer over the epoxy primer for high build. Chameleon epoxy is great for adhesion and seal coat then they have a high build urethane to wet bed right over that without sanding. Super high adhesion and build. and also good for good quality filler over that.

[@christianbaraldi2137]

Today I finally did my first ever spraypaint. Been studying this ”mini-series”. Put the epoxy down on bare metal. Went well I think. Loooot of work. Used a cheap Bürisch gun. Have the car in a partytent. Worked awesome. Now it’s just the rest left😄 Using Mipa all the way btw. Me ranting. Just wanted to say a big thank you for your vids. Live in Sweden. Good for you. Otherwise I would be hanging around your shop every day😄

My son bought a post WWII mini in England and rebuilt it. They don’t paint the body on the chassis it’s too easy to take it off. You pull the interior out, engine and transmission, and all four wheels. Then they lay down cardboard, roll it on on side and take the chassis off. Then they roll the body back over set it on a trailer and haul it to the body shop. While it’s being painted they clean and paint anything that needs it, like rebuilding the engine if necessary. When the body comes back they assemble the car in the reverse order. It makes for a perfect car and is really very simple.

Good job mate! A question: I'm about to do a full respray of a Nissan Patrol with a Chamaeleon's bed liner(same thing as raptor). I'm not doing a bare metal, just partial one where the rust repair took place. Can i put some rust converter before, where needed for surface rust? Would you recommend a full epoxy respray, even over old paint( which would be lightly sanded beforehand)? Is that a good practice? So a procedure would be this: bare metal or sanded paint + rust converter where needed > epoxy primer(just bare metal or full spray?) > filler work > 2k base primer/filler > bedliner(hvlp gun, i'll try to get a fine texture with a couple of thinner layers than with a undercoating gun that it is usually sprayed with). How does that look to you? Any tips? Thanks!

[@peterconway8803]

Hi Tony, many thanks for another excellent video. I am about to start the same process to my Mini. I haven't stripped it to bare metal as I have fitted numerous new panels. I am only an amateur and found this video invaluable and now have more confidence to carry on with the project. I am already looking forward to the next instalment. Regards Peter.

Totally agree Tony epoxy primer has gone way up in price. I'm a DIY garage painter here in Canada so I'm not buying supplies every week but it has to have doubled in price in the last year.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Wow awesome to know your watching from so far away man and yes materials have gone silly this last year or so and increase again for us here at xmas too

[@StuMurray-k2u]

Hey mate what pressure are you running with epoxy ? You have literally no over spray… I’ve bout a ani F160 with a 1.9 tip…I’m doing an exact mini as this one cheers Great videos!

[@SalvageMasterEssex]

In my opinion this is only way to proceed on an old car, all old paint off and start fresh. At least you know what's underneath and no problems with new paint shrinking back into old around repairs etc. That roof will need a fair bit of work, huge hailstones or maybe someone been dancing in stilettos on roof 😀 Look forward to seeing finished job 👍👍

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Lol thanks mate and yeah it’s the best way. It not always doable unfortunately but this has to come off there was no choice

[@johnmartin5153]

Do you only have three days before the epoxy is too hardened to sand? Also do you do the body work on top of the epoxy?

[@jasperv8095]

Hi Tony, just wondering, why do you use filler before the high build primer and not after? I'm working on a Peugeot J7 right now and we're trying to figure out the best workflow. If you'd use filler after the high build primer, that would save you a round of blocking, right? So I guess you have your reasons for sanding using filler straight on the epoxy and thus sanding twice??

Great vid as usual, i went through a period some years ago customising minis. I bought 13 from an advertising company , managed to restore 8 the rest were scap and parts . They were a nightmare too work on but the end results paid off selling for around 5 to 6k at the time. Good luck with your project.

Lol sounds a fun job that mate

[@medievilassassin]

Great work as usual. So would you recommend using this on even painted panels and bumpers. What I mean is if changing the colour of already painted wings and bumpers after keying and cleaning just to seal the works and then use normal primer

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

You could if you wanted to but if the paint underneath is good paint then just a standard primer or wet on wet process would do it

Is it a straight colour tour going for or a metallic ?

Been thinking of either tartan red or a more candy style red pal

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

You can use a cheap one mate aslong as it’s got the proper nozzle size mate , we use expensive guns so to speak because they last and perform cheap ones only last so long but you can get a decent few jobs out of them

[@dbuckley100]

That's a great price for epoxy, it's gone crazy in price for some reason in the last 2 years ! Dont use it that regular but Last one I bought was a litre kit of lesonal, great epoxy but it would want to be at 110eur per litre !!

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Yeah we’re on there base system and it’s gone mental price wise mate but the multimix stuff is very good for the cost

[@wp1769]

Hi Tony, Have you any advice for using stripper on an entire mini shell? I have a rolling shell, 1275 Clubman, (LS-Australian) which, body wise is in very very good nick. Previous owner has stated prep, I have primed sections as well as some filler/repair sections which has been primed over. The floor section is pristine, with zero rust (no filth gritter trucks here in winter! lol). I purchased the car as a long term project and am very keen to do most of the body work myself, at least as close to final prep as possible. Ive never seen a car pulled back to bare metal like you did with this one and was very interested in the process. Im currently building a rottisserie Jig to fully access the old floor seal (stone chip). I have a decent size shed so can do most work indoors but was looking for your thoughts on the paint stripping process, and if its suited for a noob DIY or not. Ive been quoted a price for 'paint removal and epoxy prep via a sand blast type process but using a softer abrasive (cant remember what he was going to use). The price seemed Wayne

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

The price seemed ? It’s easy enough to do mate just time consuming and a dirty job to do really but can be done by pretty much anyone

Hi Tony , great video , just to ask .. I havnt a booth , how many coats you put on , when dry and you block .... will it be 80, then 180? If you do break thru will you spot prime using the 4:1 thick mix or wet on wet if so what’s the ratio thank you

No il do p180 mate for it to highlight the areas that need work fill those then spray with high build if I break through yes I’ll wet on wet spot prime those areas

Thanks , I’m not sure as it’s not something I’ve tried you possibly could on the rub throughs before primer but I’d say it’s best to do a little test first to make sure there’s no issues with adhesion or reaction ect

[@Squintanditsmint]

@@TonysRefinishingTV thanks. I'm just doing my first full car and I've done it on a few small areas and see no problems so far. It was recommended to me but I've not come across it elsewhere and am curious to know if it's a new thing or usual practice. It certainly is less hassle than mixing up a new batch of primer.

Yeah we often use rattle can primer on rub throughs for convenience but il always check a product first to make sure it’s compatible I shouldn’t think you’d have an issue tbh
