I'm retired and spend a LOT of time watching a LOT of you-tube. Among TONS of other details at which yours are the best, you have BY FAR the best, most suitable, most clever selection of background music at every turn of focus.

[@skullcowboy9609]

[@Gairbear-builds]

In the rc world, we have a product called liquid mask. Just take a little detail, paint brush, and "paint" where you don't want paint 😉. Maybe for future projects? We use it to do those fancy hot rod paint jobs on rc cars.

[@jerryrathman5717]

I was just going to suggest that!👆

[@albr6770]

I remember seeing vasoline being used somewhere long ago.

[@JGE1948]

I use liquid Plasticoat with a small brush.

[@katywalker8322]

Model painters have it as well. Humbrol Maskol , Vallejo Liquid Mask, etc.

[@Garbox80]

I think I've seen someone making some "diy graphics" with soap (masking some "artsy" lines on something before painting). Just don't have any recollection of what kind of paint it was.... most likely water based I guess.

[@nikolasadair]

This is one of the best restoration series I've ever seen - the attention to detail you exhibit is unbelievable. You're clearly a first-rate engineer, but also concerned with the aesthetics of the original vehicle design, which is a rare combination! One question - have you ever thought about building a vehicle completely from scratch? That would be amazing to watch!

[@larrydavidson3402]

The work you have did on the Celica is second to none.

[@mothmagic1]

Just typical of the work Sarah does.

[@kevinlyon9501]

Your workshop gets untidy because you spend all the time making top notch content and not cutting corners, something got to give and sometimes the shop gets messy, plus you've only just moved in.❤

I use to brush on petroleum jelly and then paint and wipe off jelly , turns out perfect

[@RolandoMarreroPR]

This is the way! I did something similar but used car grease instead. Worked great!

[@232fkz]

I was thinking Elmer's glue, but same effect.

[@lwsgrvbro]

Here’s a tip from a scale modeler as far a s masking the side trim goes. Lay your tape on the area you want to mask, work the tape into the lip with q-tips and wood skewers or toothpicks. You then use a sharp x-acto knife to cut tape along the edge. It’s time consuming but probably not three hours worth.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Alternative Method, used silicon as the masking agent, spread over surfaces, and an Xacto to trim away the excess before painting, then peel off the mask after.

[@wild_lee_coyote]

If you want to clean your car like Sarah, go to her webpage and order some Robo Bubble. It works as hard as Sarah does to keep your car clean.

[@mothmagic1]

If it works that hard I reckon it will definitely be effective.

[@jamesrg68]

Being a mechanic is a skill, when you love what you do, it becomes an art. A funny, pretty, artist ! You’ve got it going on ! Also a music aficionado

[@ShiftyKen08]

Your attention to detail would make a Drill Sargent proud, and it makes the quality of the build that much more satisfying once it's finished. No doubts about it!

[@davidmoore_oo1]

Someone probably already commented . . once your part is ready for paint, you can "mask" raised fins (or letters or logos) by carefully applying Vaseline to the raised surfaces with a cotton swab, so the paint wont stick to the raised stuff . . Or you spray tge paint and immediately wipe the raised areas with a no-lint rag

[@aussiegonz]

Vaso was my first thought, probably wouldn't make a perfect straight edge but you could go close leaving the connecting edge the only thing to do, reducing the time spent to a quarter or less.

[@chriscordray8572]

I use a water-based personal lubricant 😂 it washes off with just water.

[@chriscordray8572]

​​@@aussiegonzlay a line of tape. Put the liquid mask on. Remove the tape and paint the surface. Clean mask off and clear coat the part.

[@Primus54]

No idea what tune you were whistling, but I did catch the quick Jurassic Park amber bit. Fabulous work on those trim pieces… appreciate you including the details nobody else shows in their videos. Penguin seems happy in the new digs. 😉 Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍

[@RetirementGoals1]

Your attention to detail is second to none. Also, love your sense of humor, it makes your videos a lot more fun than most.

[@alanmclenon9703]

I don't think most people realize how time consuming car restorations can be, it is exactly why it's so expensive if you're paying someone to do it, especially all those little things like that trim restoration. I have a 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II and had to repaint all the side trim, headlight bezels, trunk finish panel, etc... Thing is it wasn't just black paint, it was also textured silver with satin black, it took forever.

I've been following you for so long now Sarah, that I've had a career and retired, then started my second career in my retirement. I'm now a makeup apprentice, learning and studying out of a studio in Thunder Bay! This is entirely off topic, but I wanted to say that your makeup in every video is spectacular. I only began to notice the subtlety of such applications as I began learning more and more about Theatre application and full glam for weddings. Here's wishing you all the best over the holiday season! Cheers from Canada!

[@viliusr6974]

The sumps, like many other black steel automotive components out of sight, go through very quick and cheap prpcess to paint them black - ed coating - like powder coating, just involves wet paint tanks parts are dipped to. And the benefit of sump being painted inside, it does not rust and does not need any special protection while being shipped intonassembly plant.

That profile..

[@bsrbck]

A tip from the scale model making community: Liquid masking. The model makers use a liquid mask for aeroplane canopies. Plus they use a masking putty when doing intricate camourflage etc. Both could've been used on those parts, whatever they were to mask off the chrome. When the paints dry, just like on a model, simply peel away the mask just like you would masking tape. But, you've done it now, and you'll know for next time. Cracking mota.

[@4speed3pedals]

Blue fine line masking tape is available from many sources in different widths. 3M to China, it is readily available. Custom painters use it to make curves and outlines, even pin stripes. Even Amazon sells varieties of it. I would never paint the inside of an oil pan for fear of dried paint coming off and getting into the works. Totally unnecessary. This is a very cool project and I admire your wiring skills.

When you were painting at the beginning of the video you were talking about painting insects. I went to open my garage door one time and there was a big spider with a nest right near my handle. I covered him in 3M glue. It’s still there several years later as a trophy… lol

[@ernani228]

Hi Sarah! Yes I am putting in my 2 cents If at all helps for next time. If you ever have to mask something that detailed then clean it as you usually do then mask the area you don't want painted by using grease and applying it with a small paint brush like from an art store. After spray painting and fully dry then it's just a matter of wiping it off with a rag. 😁I hope it helps

That period of Celica body are so beautiful in design. A total classic.

[@BitSifter]

While painting the inside of the oil pan looks awesome, make sure that the paint used won't "break down" over time in the presence of petroleum (oil), and leach into the engine's oil, potentially degrading it. Worse yet, without perfect adhesion a section could flake off, blocking the oil pickup. Just a couple thoughts that may or may not be a valid concern for you. You'll have to decide. Absolutely LOVE the work you do! You are the definition of passionate obsession produces perfection.

[@65marlin327]

Those side panels look fantastic Sarah! You're doing a wonderful job on that car. I had one when they first came to America. Bought it in Atlanta, drove it to Las Vegas on vacation. It turned heads everywhere I went. It was a very pretty blue with a white half vinyl top. Awesome little car!

I would have used a small paint brush and some wood glue to cover the chrome before painting. then you can just peel it off.

[@rolandmogle9671]

[@ianthepelican2709]

Sarah's correct. My solution, once prep work is all done, mask the silver surface areas with PVA wood glue or artists masking paint, then spray the whole thing black, once dry using a gentle scotch pad buff off the wood glue/mask.

[@scottsherwood8555]

FYI, when installing an oil pan gasket, attach the gasket to the pan with contact cement, then grease the top of the gasket that attaches to the crankcase. It works well, try it.

[@turambar25]

If you ever do something like that grill work again, paint the edges with glue, like thick Elmer's glue, and a flat brush. It'll peel off like tape when you're done.
