[@willyyoung1380]

Years ago I was restoring a 1930s jukebox I had. I needed plastic tubes for the sides of the jukebox. I stopped in a sign shop and got some plastic they use for signs. They use a type of plastic that can be molded easy with heat and place it over a wooden mold. The plastic was clear but I saw at the shop how to paint it. I painted the jukebox plastic red like it was suppose to be. After that dried I then topped it off with a white paint. That smoothed out the color and it still looks great. So you may want to expirement with some clear plastic then reverse paint it and letter it like signs use to be made.

There is paint that sticks to plastic , just ask for it at a hardware store. You can get samples real cheap. Also most $ stores or hard ware have stickon lettering which would show up better. Great score with that dumpster. Happy New Year🎉🎉🎉Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤

Great suggestion to share one's blessings with the food pantries. My church joins all churches in my community, and we all together keep the pantry moving. As the shelves are getting emptied more food is coming in. I love a song that says: "Great things happen when God mixes with us."

I just finished watching your stereo breakdown video. Super good information. And your phone's camera is spot-on

[@tinabates6662]

I worked for a sign shop that made molded plastic signs . They start out clear and are painted from the inside. The clear plastic is on the outside and protects the paint inside. I think there is a spray paint made for plastic that would work for your sign. I just found your channel today and have watched it nearly all day! I love the way you thank God for everything! I wish I would have found that deep stainless sink. It would have gone in my kitchen! God Bless and happy hunting!

Scouring pad to rough the surface, then use spray primer, then top paint.

[@rebacunningham3773]

Hi Paul, when your scrap gets alittle thin I find myself praying God will send you some and you end up finding something like that big thing at the dumpster . God is Good all the time. Thanks for being you....

[@ScrapPalletMan]

Hi Reba. Your prayers are powerful

[@scottfirman]

Any graphics arts company can make decals for your sign. Sand off the color back down to white, polish it smooth and apply the decals. I found a new Pa Pa John's sign on the side of the road and returned it to the store it came from. They gave me 2 coupons for free pizza for the effort. Those signs cost money.

To get your paint to stick to smooth surfaces...Use steel wool on the plastic to create a rough tooth. Then a layer of gesso. Let dry. Then add your acrylic paint.

[@janetteburkett3047]

Paul, I really enjoy your videos and I watch and cringe when you pick up all the heavy stuff or swing things off your truck. I have very painful sciatica and I only wish I could lift and carry like you can. You are an inspiration. Thank you for your prayers and faith.

[@grumpyoldmarine3480]

@18:39 scuff the plastic with a fine sandpaper, clean it with thinner, shoot it with vinyl primer, paint!!!!! It is simple but you must follow those steps or the paint will not stick!!! Scuff any smooth or shiny (reflecting) surface you wish to paint!!!! After the painting is done, spray it down with a clear gloss. or satin finish!!!

[@ScrapPalletMan]

Perfect. Thanks Marine

[@ceciswag9866]

I was looking at a video tonight and seen that you wasn't finding anything, but you know why! YOU want metal to jump out of the bin at you if you don't see it there's nothing, you don't dig either and don't dig enough either or stop a little bit more! Just take it easy and dig more you will find more. In the video you complain didn't find that much. It wasn't this video. LOVE you Paul l watch all your videos for many hours ❤❤❤

Took an 800 pound load this morning. ( I have an S10). To my surprise, the prices have gone up since yesterday from $4 to $5 per 100 pounds. Hope its doing the same for you!

Five cents a pound is really good. Glad to hear

[@dannythomas2425]

You didn’t eat your Wheaties this morning or Rick says Bacon but you got it loaded Good video Paul

[@Timothy-NH]

I believe that Krylon has a paint specifically for plastics that actually bonds to the plastic. If you gave the faces of your sign a couple coats of that, the paints you really want may stick much better.

[@Idolmakercat]

Paul, you have to Prime the sign so the new paint will stick. You can buy a can of spray primer.

[@nerys71]

I am not an expert on this but I THINK there are prep liquids you can get that "do something" to the surface of the plastic so it will hold paint etc..

[@waynerichards3490]

Scuff up the plastic with a scotch bright pad before painting to give it a key use tile paint as it's designed to stay on shiny and slick surfaces

[@Tractor_101]

You are closing in on 100,000 subscribers that is awesome!!!

[@1244taylor]

Maybe not the best scrapping day , but still not all was lost. always enjoy your comments while picking or even unloading.. till the next one.... hope the new sign turns out well.

[@MrGazzw]

Another one of your British subscribers, love watching your channel and seeing what gets dumped out. For your sign, how about getting intouch with a local car wrapping company or KZbin channel and have it professional wrapped, would look awesome and would be a great advertisement for them and likely to get a good discount or would be a good collab for both yours and their channels bud, and still probably a good discount if not done free for the video content.

[@joyceferrell7260]

Nice find that cafe equipment. Was looking slim til that. BEAR HUGS!❤

[@westgateblvd]

Use a spray paint for plastic. I have used it. The paint does work. You can also use a automotive spray. It is used on the bumper covers of cars..

Scotch Brite pad and wipe down the surface to be painted. Make sure you clean it after the Scotch Brite and you should be good to go.

[@jeffstrong4311]

About the sign: Ya know the commercial with the Flex all guy that shoots a hole in a rowboat and then uses his tape to seal the hole. Well, Krogers sells this stuff and it works. So do the sign and then put a couple of pieces over it to seal it. Or find a sign shop that does vinyl signs and have them create the wordage then using some OOPs remove the paint and apply the letters. THEN put a small LED under it and wire it to a plug that will go into the cigarette lighter and your sign will glow.

[@jwilson1415]

Ha yeah I'd be tempted to try 2hrs for $10 of copper but that's because I like to watch TV as I micro scrap, though usually if they are too difficult to open or too small then they just go in a motor box to be sold as motors to the yard but I like to give them all a try first before giving up. Most of my motors are from commercial copiers and printers so they are kinda easier to pop open, with the occasional ceiling fan motor found out for trash in my area.

[@anthonymassey9114]

For your sign you can use the same paint try and get some lacker clear varnish will make it water proof 🙂

Paul, ever try a momentum dump? Put the truck in reverse, give it a little gas and then slam on the brakes to empty the heavy stuff.

[@ScrapPalletMan]

I get four flat tires

[@OriginalNethead]

Get glass paint? The kind that doesn't require heat-setting. It comes in bright colors from the craft store and is pretty much plastic itself. Scrape off the old paint, and take some light sandpaper to the sign. That'll give it some "grab". The glass paints ought to stick for at least a while.

[@TavenRides69]

For your small truck problems 😅 you could bulid a trailer out of an old car frame. Me and my grandpa did it hauled 500 pounds of hay without a issue

[@melissaphillips5162]

Krylon paint works pretty good. Also, can't you use worm gear clamps on that shelving. I'd small pieces of water hose or such, for each section and then the clamp. It will give it some grip and shouldn't slide down, no more than I bet you'll have on it. Any who, good luck sir
