Who hasn’t painted a car late at night using a flashlight? We didn’t have respirators, we just pulled our tshirts up over our faces. Ahhh to be young again!

[@vintagespeed]

reminds me of the old days mixing paint in Carl's Jr cups and spraying VWs all day...good times.

[@quentonsmith6085]

And naming your “sick mixture” something cool

[@brianhdueck3372]

Craig, I respectfully disagree. This is exactly how you should have painted this truck this round! You guys will look back on this with the fondest of memories. Trust me, this is awesome!

[@roundtuitracingaz132]

Nothing is more permanent than a band-aid fix that works.

[@garykuhn1921]

100% correct!!!

[@kelvinhill9874]

Yep. We always say that there’s nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.

[@Thecraig909]

Exactly

No clear coat required . Can’t go wrong with Acrylic enamel

[@jswelborn1]

Put a spacer on the rear cab mounts to straighten up the body lines and that thing will be perfect 👍

Reminds me of the days of thrashing on my friends dirt track car. Working until 1 or 2 in the morning. One guy finishing up the engine, one changing the gear, one spraying paint.... Maybe 2 hours of sleep and pulling into the pit with the paint still wet and the engine running breaking in on the trailer. Good old days. I doubt I could do it now, but great memories.

[@Karmaikaze]

I haven't watched the video all the way through yet but the intro is 10/10, good work 👌

At least Back in the Day, I had an old Barn to paint in! Truck looks great! Nice 24hr. paint job 😎

[@luciankristov6436]

This vid is awesome. I remember doing the exact same thing you guys did when i was your age. Im 32 now and have a booth and all the tools ive bought over the years to do it the right way. But you guys did a hell of a job honestly . Mad props !

[@MalibuDan1967]

Craig, You and Sean up to painting my Chevelle??? You did a better job in the dark, humidity, cold, outdoors than the last "professional" shop did in a paint & body shop. I'll provide the materials & Colorado cold snacks...

[@Thecraig909]

Haha only if you wouldn't mind it being sprayed outside. Neither of us has a garage to work out of, unfortunately.

[@MalibuDan1967]

@@Thecraig909 exactly!!! That's what I'm saying. Your paint job looks better than mine did when it came out of a paint & body shop. I bet if your color sand & cut it right, you won't have ti respray Sean's truck. Looks good 👍👌

[@icedsilver1149]

My favorite part is that everything is all shiny and clean and painted, and then there’s a crusty original master cylinder. But hey, if it works, why fix it? Better than anything I could probably do

Dude I completely understand the paint job in a day thing I did that on a 66 four-door Nova and I totally understand it and I take my hat off to you guys and I wish you guys well on on the finishing of the job I think it's cool that you do you do you do what you do and and and it proves that people can do this stuff without having the tire of a paint shop to to do it so two thumbs up to you guys good luck with the car show and

[@bennetfox]

Next time before you start spraying paint, wet the painting area floor down with water to help keep the dust down. 😎 Y'all did a good job laying that Sonic blue down on that truck! It looks damn good! 😁👍

[@Thecraig909]

That is the only thing I wanted to do that we should have. Thanks!

[@cecilandrews7479]

Make me think of my 74 bronco. Had a parade Saturday pulled up Friday morning, six of my buddies and myself jumped on the truck and by noon body work done and painted urethane red. There wasn't that much body work though pretty straight little truck. The four wheel drive club along with that truck was in the parade 10:00 Saturday morning.

[@Will_Brock]

I never planned to be a Ford guy, followed your channel a while ago with your prerunner. Then my uncle hooked me up with a 63 Galaxie and I refound your channel because of those damn offset shafts on the LCAs, and now I am starting to think f100s are the best classic trucks.

[@Thecraig909]

Thanks for sticking around my friend.

[@carsontaylor7530]

That paint worked out really good for what you guys had to deal with that night.

Absolutely Awesome! Love the color, found a company that has that color Sonic blue for brake calipers! Going to do my brake calipers on my 05 F-250 XL

[@becomemoremills9783]

Cool. I taped off and rattle canned my pinstripes. They turned out awesome

[@canadaeast8358]

You just need some rear cab mounts to Line up the cab and box and it will be pretty sweet

[@thedukelukegarage1997]

Love this video, only thing that would make that truck better is if was a 4 wheel drive

[@philhunt3908]

Looks a lot better. for the way you did it nice work guys

[@neil6212]

Three guys, single stage paint, random primer...what is unusual about that? I was doing that in the sixties and seventies, when there was nothing but single stage paint. Yup, sure enough you can git 'er done! BIG win for you! Of course, the choices were acrylic lacquer, and acrylic enamel, preferable with catalyst. Generally I prepped one night,. and shot color the next night after work. What could possibly go wrong?

[@mikewiley1007]

I need friends like you guy’s. 🤙🏽

[@mebordernoneya8484]

Just asking the question: is there something unique to where you live that you are using rattle can primer on such a large scale project? Seems like it would be cheaper to get some primer from the paint supply store and spray it with a gun.

[@jonlennon3348]

That truck is fine except for the fact that it needs cab mounts and box mounts. But you can do that when you paint it right.

[@Thecraig909]

Yeah were cutting the back of the truck off anyways this year to TT link the suspension and do a full cage front to back so we'll re hang everything straight.

[@jonlennon3348]

The extended wheel well flairs.. has a visual effect that makes the truck look bent in the middle.. I dont think it is.. but.....

Are you going to do anything with the heavy duty suspension and axels under that thing? I know they are strong parts but they are also crazy heavy.

I remember nights like this. Craig if you go on my Instagram pinstripingbybear roll down to my older picture you will see me painting my 60ty Cadillac limo in my front yard.. there is nothing wrong with painting outside only the Neighbors who bitch to the cops or EPA if you do it allot

[@vernm6189]

the truck looks good from 10 feet , that's not bad. The truck needs a front end alignment.

[@jakearmstrong4375]

I would have used the hose and sprayed under and around the truck so the dirt wouldn't kick up but it still turned out sick

[@jasonmyers3847]

Then they would have painted in a mud hole. Lol

[@AintScaredGarage]

You said it was metallic, Sonic Blue is Perl, Depp impact Blue is the same color but it's metallic

[@pinstripingbybear.]

And one more to the list if you are spraying outside in dirt or dusty conditions mist the ground with water before you spray so it keeps the dust that comes up from your feet and the hose on the ground so it keeps the dust out of your paint

[@Thecraig909]

Yea that's something I definitely should have done.

[@Nickwillfixit]

WOW you broke every rule of getting a good paint job done, in the dark to low a temp no wipe down did the roof last need I go on, nope you said it all so a blind man would be glad to see it LOL. Yep preparation is 80% of the paint respray, so well done you guy's great job, so what is next, a proper prep and respray or wet sand buff and polish is the roof going to be a different colour, not a blue kind of guy but that is a nice colour, maybe you should give it an old school look by painting a white stripe right round about two foot wide with a pin stripe in red. Pretty sure I would give it an old school look if mine.

[@curtischancey1139]

Can you post a video on putting a 70s trucks tailgate on

Earl Scheib would have painted it for you for $29.95, if you can get it back to 1962 door jambs too! lol

[@mr.mckinnon5680]

When I entered the auto body game back in the 90s. General Motors was only paying us 22 hours on a Corvette to fix the paint that was falling off their cars. Under warranty. Except... you were more likely to fix the paint on a Beretta or a Corsica or a Cavalier. And lots of WT 1500's. Then you were a Corvette. Turns out... The great mistake Corporation was experimenting with waterborne primers. And putting them underneath solvent-based colors. And attempting to lock them in with solvent-based clear coat. So we had to strip the car near to the metal. Shoot it with epoxy primer ... Because laquer primer wouldn't hold to the water base. And re-shoot the entire car. And we were making money hand-over-fist. It was not uncommon for me to bring home a hundred and twenty to 150 hours a week. And that would equate to about 10 to 15 cars. Not including the vehicles that were there for the Collision damages they had. And yes... You can break flat-rate warranty, in half. Once you get the system dialed in. We had those cars rolling out the door, in in 12 to 15 hours. Like shooting fish in a barrel baby! Our DA's were running Non-Stop! Which is my first suggestion to anyone who's looking to get into the auto body industry... If you plan on working for General Motors... Buy a good DA... You're going to need it! And when the sales and marketing team at the manufacturer puts themselves in charge of painting cars... You're going to make money hand over fist to!
