Fixing ROUGH paint, wins and FAILS!

[@richlindsey3651]

Great makeover on the MIGDET, Mom"s smile while driving PRICELESS. She is so lucky to have a daughter and son-in-law like you two.

[@johnmiller1665]

I love this! Making your momma happy is priceless! I moved to Texas in order to escape the harsh winters of Minnesota and my wife and I chose a house that had enough rooms to dedicate one for my mother, but she never had the chance to see it because she didn’t make it out of surgery for her heart. I miss my mom very much and seeing someone put this kind of effort into making their mother happy just makes me feel happy. Bless you all and keep doing what you’re doing!

[@brianbeilmann2992]

Hot momma. Good for her.

[@smkymtnguy33]

Beautiful!! Great size. Great looks. Some dangerous curves! The car isn't bad either. Tell your mom there's a long line of us saying she is gorgeous!

[@jw4620]

Yup!

[@flyingsparksgarage]

Hahahahah too good 😅

[@rodneyclark1990]

😂right...they know what they're doing lol

[@waynemoore3236]

Great job, car looks great thanks for the videos.❤

[@cappy9867]

Great job! I'd leave the misspelling as a conversation starter!!!😆

[@WhiskeyRiverRifleman]

Nice job on the MG, guys. On a side note, I see where Emily gets her looks Your mom is beautiful❤❤❤

[@AngusCaleb]

MIGDET....great conversation piece...leave it because you embrace your imperfections.

[@x35mmman]

I FOR SURE would leave it. It would be a great conversation piece when people stop Mom at the gas station or grocery store parking lot saying a what a cool car to see if they notice it. When someone does she has a great story to tell.

[@douglasarmstrong2748]

The MG looks great! I think that the green was a good choice and makes the car look so much better. I was a pretty good DIY mechanic in my day but painter...not so much. I did get better but the "after pain" work was not cost effective. The strangest paint technique I ever saw was in the early sixties. A buddy and I were swapping out a carb/manifold setup on his car in a closed auto dealership garage. A few stalls down a guy pulled a 1956 Pontiac in and using a piece of metal window blind and some kind of grease proceeded to "mask" the chrome of the entire car except for the windows, grill and tires. we just laughed it off and continued our work. A few hours later he returned and wiped off the grease and hosed down the car. We walked over to look at it and were amazed at how great it looked. The paint job looked fantastic! We saw other cars he painted and they were all beautiful. Really strange though.

[@Klingon2468]

Well the car looks awesome, and you mom looks very happy, so good job. 1 more thing I would leave the D and the G where they are makes the car unique. ❤👍👍👍👍

[@johnbellrose9165]

OMG you two are making green look fabulous.

[@jimdandy2275]

Congratulations Cathy, Em and Aaron. It looks great. I look forward to updates on the MG.

[@petersweden1999]

It is beatyful in many ways, lovely smiles!

[@davestewart9146]

The family working and laughing together is worth more then money can ever buy, I loved this video ❤️

[@stephencurry8552]

I am biased, as a fan of British sportscars, Triumph though. It is always awesome to see a machine back on the road. And given how large your mom's smile it is. That machine makes your mom very happy. And that is priceless.

[@davidjohnson-ve8ts]

Your mom is so beautiful. Love seeing her work on her own car which is priceless. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@larrydavidson3402]

I can't believe how different the MG looks, it is absolutely cute as a bug. There's no doubt your Mom is very happy and proud of her car. You can't beat that smile on her face. So nice of you and Aaron to do that for her.

[@mikewright7650]

I like the Candy apple green with a silver undercoat with extra flake in it. but my favorite is Midnight Blue Pearl with gold stripes "beautiful"

[@bobbolieu9013]

Watching you all work on the MG reminds me of the time that I spent polishing cars getting rid of the oxidation. I did a couple of family cars, and two of mine. My then wife couldn't understand why I wanted to spend hours rubbing on a car. I worked on a small part of the hood. She was surprised at the difference that it made. Then she was dumbfounded that I spent an entire weekend doing that one thing all day long, that is until people commented on how nice the car looked. Typically I used to levels of rubbing compound, 1 polishing compound, then finally wax. Oh, all by hand. And lots and lots of really soft towels, long before microfiber. Worth every minute.

[@richarddamico9894]

WOW! I also recently picked up a 1976 Midget, like the one I had at age 22. I was lucky enough to get the same year and color of my original one. And it has no rust. The paint however has seen better days. I need an Aaron and Emily in my life, to do all the things that you two do so well! Really enjoyed taking this journey with you all!

[@izzynutz2000]

Mama is so happy and that makes it worth the watch thank you guys for letting us hang out and enjoy the content🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@johnd5805]

What a tough woman. She absolutely enjoyed the whole process. I can see her helping The Kid on her truck. I see Finley changing oil next month. Man that car is perfect now. Happy wheel'n Mom.

[@toddgeeslin2190]

i love how you guys are not afraid to experiment with various tasks. It shows the rest of us that we do not have to be scared of trying something new. It is also great that you had Mom in there helping with this project. It is definetaly something for all of y'all to be proud of. Y'all are awesome, keep up the great work!!!!

[@billgoble6209]

Embrace the good enough. Thats something I need to learn. Thank you for those words of wisdom. My 3 projects just got closer to being finished. Love your content, keep up the good work.

[@gordonstroup882]

Great show today! Y'all can be so funny at times, and Em's momma is quite a good lookin' lady. 😊 Her smile and twinkling eyes are very sensual 😮❤ Y'all take good care of one another, and I really hope that y'all have yourselves a beautiful day. ✌️😎👍

[@wesleypulkka7447]

Aaron and Emily, Bad Chad does single stage and shoots it at 70 PSI through cheap guns. He gets phenomenal results with no cut and buff!

[@jsh3234]

Looking fantastic!! One other suggestion is to buff the tailite lenses with the buffer and your final stage compound.

[@user-gc1zn5mn4p]

E&A, nice job on the paint. I had an MG Midget in college & did a rattle can paint job on it. Rusted out all along the bottom. Bondo, primer, rattle can spray. Certainly not a show car, yet I got some honest compliments on it.

[@scottcochran384]

wrap your paper around a Wet dish sponge for those odd shaped area's.. works amazingly .. Nice Work Aaron and Emily and "Momma"... looks great. i'm glad y'all show both the good results as well as the Not , and what it takes to correct it.. it Happens to the Best of us..

[@paulsherman6450]

You guy's have made your momma so happy. She is going to be cruising town and picking up men in no time. Lol

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

The car looks absolutely beautiful! Just to see the smile on Momma's face is priceless! She's the sweetest lady, EVER! ;-) I have to warn her, everywhere she will go with that car people are going to try to buy it off of her. Fantastic job guys! Well done!

[@benjaminspencer6507]

Yep, at 54:02, I was thinking, that ain't right. I was going to comment, but then at the end you caught it!! Love the look of the MG! I'm 71 years old, live in Ohio, and I loved the 64' & 65 MG MIDGETS when I was a teenager.

[@tommyjefferson9525]

You guys are awesome I love watching your shows when you got family and and you know it's just you guys are so humble and sweet and I love you and Keep On Keepin On and and keep on bringing out them videos

[@reneprovencher8395]

Got to fix that gas gauge. I noticed that a few u- tubers do not fix gas gauges! 🤣😂🤪. Beautiful job, I keep my yap shut about one shot paint from summit. I love it, reduce, add fish eye and 2 coats, comes out awesome. I’ve had guys say, why two coats? Well I did back when and it came out awesome. Yes I reduce a lot. 😊❤

[@martyhandley4456]

Man it looks great y’all! One suggestion for the clear plastics, eisen glass, is to spray off well with ow setting on pressure washer, then use microfiber cloths amd it will stay clear, those paper towels are lightly sanding it.....great looking little ports car.

[@jonhbaker1511]

luv the EDGIT..m make over.. and mom"s smile and little clapping excitement is PRICELESS.🎉😅😂

[@RobSharp-wo5qj]

What a great project . You mom got right in there and helped . She is such a hoot. Emily and her mom are so funny together.

[@michaelsullivan1262]

Seeing Emily with her mom makes me miss my own mom so much. She’s been gone since 99, and in the blink of an eye I’m just 12 years younger than her age when she left.

[@Riffraff-5150]

You all make this look so easy . I'd burn through that pain . Would love some flying sparks Garage painting help hands on teaching for my classic glastron boat . I am having a hard time getting it back together after bladder cancer. Thank you for the cool videos

[@johnlee8231]

Perfect timing guys just shot a yellow nova with summit yellow and need to wetsand it. And pizza is the correct answer for shop food in my opinion

[@farmerbill6855]

Mad respect for mom for keeping that British nightmare running well enough to handle the weight of that new paint.

what a great vibe you are transmitting, coming from a family where people fight all the time you guys are just perfect

[@borgonianevolution]

That is one heck of a transition. I am super impressed with how that paint laid down. I think I may look into those paints for painting bodies on the guitars I build. I recently picked up a small compressor and a new gun to try out rather than doing it all with an airbrush as I have in the past since I am just starting out.

[@DaPenceman]

Gotta get one of those novelty giant windup keys that suction cup to the trunk lid 😅

[@MM_in_Havasu]

How cool is that! Y'all just made Emily's mom one happy lady with all the effort to recondition this little roadster, and that's a huge statement about looking after family! Her smile is priceless when she is driving this car, and that makes me happy as a viewer of your channel. God bless you all!

[@rdyardie]

At the 54:00 point of the video, I noticed "MIGDET" instead of "MIDGET" but I was not going to say anything. As your mother drove down the road, it crossed my mind to enjoy your mother as long as you can. My mother left this earth a few years ago. By the way, I am twice your age.

[@michaelyohn3053]

I grew up with my dad doing that for a living!! He tried to teach me. I didn't want to do it. I still learned and now how to do it. It is something you want to do or enjoy doing.

[@rcadd1ct]

Shop lunch. Pop tarts and cheese crackers. Sometimes beef jerky. Something about eating hot food when you are sweating in the garage.

[@Avi8tor857]

Single stage plan color isn't too hard to spray, but the metallics make it a challenge. Often people will mix in clear on the last coat... which sort-of defeats the purpose of single stage. But any garage spray is going to require cut and buff. Now what sucks is sometimes when you do it as soon as you did, some sanding scratches will show up later on after buffing as the paint cures.

[@charlesledlow4267]

Enjoy making those memories with your mom. I sure miss the days of working on this with my dad.

[@roberts6236]

family is everything,well said.

[@donross8707]

Yall have done an amazing job with this car, can't wait to see the 57 and the kids truck when they get done., I know they will be amazing as well

[@stevencrane2053]

To share this with your mum is priceless ❤️

[@sadiejustin]

Yayyyy!! An hour to keep me company at work! This is like a big cup of coffee on a crisp cool morning.

[@vonheise]

It came out fantastic,! I like watching happy seniors 'cause I are one... When busy, we live a bit over a mile from the town drive to, or ride the electric bikes to fast food court as all the fast food places are really close together. Today was Arby's, tomorrow may be Taco Bell. If my wife isn't around, like yesterday, I go to a local "Chinese" Buffet that has a bit of everything, so I eat mostly verities of fish, shrimp, salmon, and mussels with sushi ginger, sea weed salad and a little sushi. The wife doesn't like the place, so I go when she is shopping or visiting relatives. (If you would be willing to adopt a spare parent, I prefer an MGB in metallic black like I had in my 20s 😎)

[@adrianberryhill]

She turned out so good!!!!! One of my favorite videos to date!

[@irav4u]

tell mama to use Pledge furniture polish on the plastic convertible windows will clear them up. we used it every day after fishing in ocean and washing boat

[@tinkerne-round4079]

Another tip for you. Orillies has a red tint clearcoat. I've sprayed dull faded tail lights with it and the color and shine come back making them look new!

[@joesgarage321]

Great video! You make so many things approachable. Lunch in the shop is usually leftovers or a sandwich.

[@scotpettengill7801]

MG's were built for beautiful mother daughter rides like yours. What an awesome episode.

[@dougbowen4685]

Thanks for the explanations and education! One of your better vids, in my book. And thanks to the editor for keeping the music volume down to a comfortable level. It’s much more enjoyable this way.

[@markhookom5371]

I had a motorcycle back in the 1980s and my buddy painted it with several coats of black laqure and I hand polised it between coats. Then he painted several coats of clear ( polished between ) then he shot the last coat of clear with metalic flake mixed in it. It was so cool it was like the flakes were floating above the paint!

[@rldukes5729]

Probably a little engine wipe down, a little psst psst trunk paint, wheel wells, etc - a few details with the interior work will look awesome. Good job! Lookin good mom!!

[@HermanCramer-bp4ls]

What a blessing. Loved the makeover. Your mom is blessed by you two.

[@craigmartin7361]

Well done on the a Mg paint. If i can add a a tip from as im a Automotive painter. When doing the Bonnet boot or roof .I noticed you went from the middle to our side back to the middle to outside edge and across the panel. That's how you get dry spray. Start from the guard edge of the bonnet to the middle from the middle to the outta edge length ways. Keeping the paint wet at all times. Roof &Boot Edge to middle middle to outside edge length ways only.

[@Weasel3DE]

Excellent moms happy enough said!!!!

[@w1zard0f0h]

Whenever I'm upset at the state of the world I watch your videos and it just warms my heart.

[@marcusmaddenov2451]

Little MG looks great! The bumper mount holes up front would be a great spot to put some led Light bar driving lights. Have to measure the holes. But you can use some acrylic plastic to cover the holes from the back side and a sheet metal cut out as a bracket to hold it in place. 4 small Chrome or stainless steel self tappers screws through the acrylic and sheet metal to hold the covers in place. Then mount your light bars behind.

[@Gogsnik]

This video gave me a flood of memories of a neighbour of mine, when I was a kid, who had an MG, a little black, beetle-y backed thing which I used to think was really, really cool. Haven't thought about that in years!!

[@timada8603]

You guys are such good teachers. I love seeing you share the experiences with your family. Tell everyone I said hi!

[@flyingsparksgarage]

♥️♥️♥️ love you bud!!

[@Lander76]

That's a tidy looking migdet 😄 It's amazing how wet sanding can knock down and re-level the roughest of paint finishes. If you want to take the paint finish to the next level and further enhance the depth of the gloss and optical clarity, try switching to a rotary polisher and the difference will be night and day. You could flick over the rear light clusters with the polisher too and they should come up like new.

[@Lander76]

[@chucklindberg6645]

Looks great and Momma is smiling ear to ear ;)

[@gregoryblair9810]

I have only ever painted single coat. I am unsure if I could do the new process as all I have done are acrylic/ enamels. With the exception of one rattle can clear over a two stage pearl blue gun sprayed.
