Classic Paintucation Headliner and leather repair

Digging through the file-vault, I found some great technical videos from a previous video shoot... I look like a KID!! The info is still excellent, and I still use these techniques today so I'm proud to pass them on to you! Hope you enjoy while we prepare some more episodes on the ZX, Garbage Camaro, and the VGG SS Clone!

If I could talk to this young(er) guy today, I'd tell him to relax, keep pushing, and know that everything works out for the right reasons.

[@jeffreyshepherd8488]

@@paintucation great advice

[@TORCHBROTHERS]

If I could go back and talk to my younger self, I'd kick his ass. And say think of consequences of your actions. You are your own worst enemy. Probably still wouldn't have listened 😂 LOL. Great videos Kevin keep em coming.

[@charlesdalton985]

You are so right. Yesterday I ended up in an office building I used to work in. I walked past so many memories, including the room I had my interview in. I thought the same thing you did, I wanted to meet my younger self and tell him the journey he was about to start on was fantastic.

[@jtuck6065]

I would imagine there’s not a one of us that would tell our younger self very similar things LOL I’ve been watching your content for decades between paintucation, Eastwood vids, LMC truck vids and whatever else I stumbled upon and you’ve definitely grown over the years but yet still the same, if that makes sense. Been a fan of yours for a long time, sir. Thanks for all your knowledge share over the years 👍🏻

Man this channel and your voice takes me back to Saturday mornings watching power block and just learning. It's nostalgia for me.

[@chadhelmer3835]

Same here! I love it.

[@jamescrowder2663]

Kevin..been watching you here and there for years but I have been enjoying your channel the most. Glad you’re in control of your content and editing. Can’t thank you enough for both the education and confidence you have given and inspired. My kids watch too and they are always asking if we can go fix something on one of our projects. Keep’em coming and thank you again for what you do!!!!!

[@woodchipgarage]

I've been dreading the day I have to replace my headliner; everyone complains it's such a pain. This doesn't look difficult at all. Thanks again!

[@Onemoretake01]

An additional episode on t-top headliner replacement would be a great supplemental video! There's a lot of people who are intimidated by them. This was great, thank you Kevin!

[@larryhollifield9607]

Just want to thank you for sharing the information.not many channels do that. Thanks again.

[@paintucation]

Happy that you found us!

[@prepaid5965]

No questions just a comment. You're one rad dude Kevin. Keep uploading buddy.

[@nick540g]

I discovered you only recently on Derek's channel and am greatly enjoying your detailed instructions on DIY car repairs. Unfortunately, I am now 74 and don't need to be DIY independent, but I sure could have used your advice forty years ago! THANK YOU for helping out the young folks who just need good info and some encouragement to take care of their cars.

[@alstewart9915]

That really cool Kevin! Thanks for breaking it down and showing us how it's done. Not as daunting anymore!

[@justinpakarno4346]

Hard to believe that young man would one day grow up to steal Derek's truck.

[@paintucation]

True, I lost my way! Lol!

This is great! Nice work brother 👊

[@ShadeTreeMechanic8962]

Wow Kevin from truck days!

[@MarcusSandoval-kx2th]

Replaced my aunt's sagging headliner back in 2000....she was so grateful 😊

[@risinbison1106]

You forgot the last step. Make sure it’s dry before you sit on your newly dyed seat. I learned the hard way.

[@paintucation]

🤣

[@dwanerusselburg7435]

Kevin I really like watching all of your videos

[@paintucation]

I really appreciate you!

[@wyattoneable]

I've really enjoyed following the channel. I found you thru VGG so I haven't been here that long but I like learning new things so your doing exactly what I like to see.

[@braxtonnelson5375]

I wish I had seen this video back when I replaced the headliner in my 1979 Buick Park Avenue! I used fabric that I purchased at a local fabric store, and removing the old foam/adhesive was a bear! Also, getting the old headliner out and back into the car was a challenge! It turned out o.k., but it pretty much convinced me that this was not a job that I wanted to repeat!

[@chrisbenjamin417]

Awesome show.good Intel on painting cars ..

[@Haida_Art_Jordon_S]

Awesome classic videos. Love it. Love the channel Kevin keep up the good work

[@neilridgewell7927]

keep the great content coming i am in the uk and love this show

[@paintucation]

Done!!! Thanks mate!

[@bradleymckay365]

My family owned Dr Vinyl and Cam Sew and we did interiors, boat covers, cars, etc. I have a professional kit for seats and gallons of dye but I have actually had to use that kit before and the only thing I will Add is use a heat gun then press and cool with an aluminum curved cooling block because it truly sets a nicer grain and you fast set it. Then after you dye the repair or seat make damn sure you use a good leather conditioner, not things that just make it shiny, because a perfect leather seat doesn't shine, if you use conditioner on your leather, you will be blown away how awesome they feel and look. Any time you use crap to shine your upholstery, you are ruining it, just clean and condition and you will have seats that are in a Chevy that look and feel like a luxury car.

[@thomasdeangelo1655]

More Camaro please!

[@bobanderson1889]

Found you when you painted Derek’s F100. I had a 76 the same color that I had to restore back in the early 80s due to the quality of the steel back then. Although I’m past my prime these days I enjoy watching you bring back the cars of my era. Can’t wait to see the Camaro and the Z.

[@paintucation]

Thanks Bob, I'm looking forward to making a bigger mess and figuring those projects out. :)

[@billdursa4976]

When I do a headliner before I install the fabric I coat the board with 2-3 coats of polyurethane. It makes for a non-porous surface and the glue and fabric hold better..

[@stephenalishaso]

Awesome content Kevin keep it coming.

[@vancity2349]

Nice job Kevin.

[@CreeperCustomPaintball]

Awesome to see your content. I love this, its more of your personality, instead of the weird forced cadence of the old Powerblock shows.

[@charlesdalton985]

10ish years ago, the headliner in my older son's car sagged. Never having done it before, there was a little trepidation. But, as you said, it really was quite easy and much nicer. We were lucky, it's a T-Top car, so a smaller area to work with. Same story with interior dying, easy but quite rewarding. Thanks for the tips and memories. ~ Chuck

[@racingcodyman1]

Great classic content KT.

[@scottpeacock1345]

I'm prepping my blazer to get painted so I like these videos

[@preppinglife624]

Vise grip garage if you turned me on to your channel. I am absolutely loving the content! I've been watching you since trucks. And I was blissfully unaware that you had a KZbin channel but I'm here to stay now!

[@totrodder97]

Impeccable timing! Ive just put a deposit down on a 68 Pontiac Catalina 2 door HT in need of a headliner haha i shall save this video for future reference thanks Kevin 😎🤘

[@paintucation]

The Pontiac may have a bow style headliner... This is for later model stuff.

[@CedarStoneGames]

Jane a 91 toyota with original paint. When i bought it, it was heavily oxidized. I cut, polished and waxed it by hand because i fear the single stage paint wouldn't hold up to power tools. It definitely improved, but still has bird poop etchings and other unknown etches. What would you do for this, or what product would you recommend. I really don't want to paint it Bensimon it still has a deep luster when it's all waxed up, but at 5 ft you start seeing the etched areas. Love the channel and also want to thank you for helping me create memories with my father back in the day. We watched every weekend!

[@leahcimthgirw3163]

I re did the headliner in my 77 impala 4 door and that material they used to glue that headliner down was a pain in the neck to get off the board, I used an angle grinder with the wire wheel with light force it was able to eat that glue off the board otherwise I would have been there all day with the wire brush and I used liquid contact cement and a foam roller to glue it down

[@paintucation]

Yeah, some boards are a real chore. I ruined on backing board with the drill-brush once, it got away from me!

[@leahcimthgirw3163]

Any advice on repairing cloth seats? My '04 Chevy truck has a hole on the driver's side about the size of a quarter.

Thanks for the second Saturday video, Kevin! The short Power Tour video left me wanting more. 😅 Still relevant info even though it's from the past. And we all looked like a kid back then! lol Is that headliner kit still available?

[@paintucation]

I just bought the fabric from a store, easily found online. Adhesive at Hobby Lobby, BAM! you got a kit! :)

[@donspringer8222]

I have 2 cars with peeling clear coat but the underlying paint (old 1990 GM urethane) is still in good shape. What is the best quick and easy way to get a decent gloss finish without having to repaint the whole vehicle? Spraying clear on it is not a problem but looking more for how to prep so it lasts. Not looking for a show car, just something I'm not embarrassed to drive. I think there should be a lot of people out here with a similar issue. I just can't justify putting a $3500 paint job on a $2000 car that I take to cruise-ins.

[@stephenscering1776]

Kevin you are a legend in the auto field. I cant get enough of the absolute garbage your polishing right now! Anyone can do a troy trepanier and destroy a mint 1960 impala to make a mark on the world! Anyone!

[@paintucation]

I really appreciate you man! I'm just doing what I know.👍🤘🇺🇸

[@MindsEyeVisualGuitarMethods]

I need a pattern for a late 70s GM (78) that I can't find anywhere. Its an antique white vinyl, Color code 11, with a snake bite pattern on a leather look base. I can find a white snake bite, but the overall backing texture is wrong.

[@dannico58]

Hey Kevin, a few years back I painted a couple of fiberglass canoes, one has a solid yellow hall with deep blue Gunwale, and the other has multi-colored stripes, red, blue, yellow, purple, and white, both boats were painted with rust-oleum Oil-Based Gloss Enamel. the desert sun and beach grounding have left them looking a bit dull and scraped up, I plan to re-shoot them and then clear-coat them, can you suggest a clear coat that works well with rust-oleum Oil-Based Enamel?

Is there a way to clean a head liner without risking de- laminating the fabric? Also, does that leather repair kit work on weathered scrotums? Asking for a friend. Lol

[@paintucation]

Yes, but you have to shave the random fibers that poke out. 😬

@@paintucation For the head liner, right? Lol Seriously though, is there a way to clean a head liner? Mine looks like an international war crime.

[@travlite8496]

I wanted to add most content out here on the tube seems to be misleading for the DIY I'm a collison Tech 30 years going It was the trade I took in school and been to many I-car classes and certified PPG tech. I hope you give your teaching to the guy or gal at home because most are doing their own project always being an over all paint job to begin with they get information on here mostly from production techs like myself and for me it seems there misleading in most cases because painting a whole car takes a big compressor to start and then do I use this product or do i do this job this way I find it almost misinforming to what we really do on a daily basis...This is my opinion I;m not hating just saying facts your not gonna paint a whole car with a 20 gallon compressor or with 90% of the spray guns on the market.---I want to see this trade that's given me so much in life where people get motivated because it's not doing very good I can tell by the over turn we have---I hope you speak your talent as a Tech and teacher the correct way because there's nothing cheap about what this skill and the cost of materials are in the trade today. Sorry for the long comment but I think it was worth it.---Lets make Body---paint great again thanks.

[@paintucation]

I can't agree more!! My formal training programs do exactly what you say, give a realistic idea of what the materials that we need are, and how to properly use them, including a huge emphasis on PPE and safety. KZbin, however, is not showing the full extent of my training programs. Those take me a very long time to create, and they're very expensive to produce. The KZbin channel is away for me to give tips and techniques a way to people wanting to learn, peppered in with a little bit of entertainment and me quite honestly having fun while I'm doing it. If I had unlimited funds and was wealthy beyond means, I would do formal training on KZbin and give it all away. That's not the case, so my KZbin show is a way to showcase the potential of this amazing trade, and have a glimpse in the door of what I offer in the way of my structured training. Thanks for watching! Hope this answers your questions and satisfies your concern.
