As the owner of the van, I cant thank Tony enough for sorting this mess out for me, the amount of work he has put into it is was far more than was expected but it shows in the quality. I saw it today for the first time in a few weeks and it blew me away!! I can't wait to get it back now and get it built up ready foe next year. Thanks again Tony!!

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Well we agreed at the start mate that no matter what we would make this something you loved again and I hope we’ve managed that for you , was my pleasure mate

[@shaunnormancroft]

yes tony did a great job for you and I know you will recommend him, to all your friends, I've never advertised always word of mouth that brings work to me, do a great job for someone goes a long way.

[@brookieant]

Tony has done a spot on job & the colour's flow together nicely 👌🏽

I’m a bus guy in the U.S. I would love to have a bus that looks that good! Mines’s a ‘71. L90 D pastel white.

@@tomcoryell I sold my t2 crew cab pickup for little money after a rebuild by myself a few years back. My biggest ever regret.

[@benaskey6769]

Don't spend a second worrying about the lost footage; Your body prep and spraywork are the best I've seen: Great results as always. Look forward to the next vid.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Thankyou Ben appreciate that man

[@srodgie]

I totally agree Ben 💯👌 It's always a pleasure watching Tony's video's 👌

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Thanks man

[@enriquelopez9124]

You have done an awesome paint job on the van it even looks like a new van and the color combination that it came with.

[@stephenlebillon3066]

Loved the info on air pressure painting nooks and crannies on the bus, now I know why my fairing mounting holes wouldn’t cover doh 🙄 Keep the vids coming.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

No problem mate glad I could add something in there to help mate

[@masoodamg6633]

Dear Tony. I think it is very, very important to cover some parts of the car before painting, which I noticed you pay very good attention to. While some car painters do not care. This is the difference. Thank you Tony . Magnificent Tony👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Yeah you need to make sure the proper areas are covered mate

[@chrisfreemesser5707]

She's looking AWFULLY sweet there Tony...you should be super proud with how it's turning out! Can't wait to see it all finished

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Thanks Chris and yeah it’s looking really nice now mate

[@paulroder5326]

Absolutely beautiful 😍 I just painted my own camper Van I should have watched your video earlier 😂 Keep going mate 🔥

[@sandocheese45]

Tony mate. If we was guttered about footage you lost, you must be more . What an amazing job you have done ✔. Spot on fella. 👍 lovely colour blend.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Thanks buddy

[@Mikefngarage]

Hey Tony I figure you were spraying with a 1.2 at 1.8 bar or a little less. Were you also about 2 turns out.or less. spray looks really fine and good coverage. that is why I figured that you were maybe 1.5 to 2 turns out. max. Nice and slow so you can see that you got everything painted and covered.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Spot on mate first coat 1.5 turns out mate second and third two turns out mate

[@NiallFitzpatrickirl]

L345 is the original colour of my bus. Kinda sorry I didn't go back to that. Its a lovely colour that's very different in various light. Great job as usual Tony 😁

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Yeah it’s different inside to our abs lovely out in the sun great choice by the customer

[@stueypinnock8875]

I'm doing one at the mo.. done many vans over the years.. it don't matter how much you block it out.. to get perfect straight panels..soon as it driven on uneven roads the shell will flex putting ripples back in it...

Annoying ain’t it mate lol

We sure do man love my job

[@StevesConsul]

I always learn something when I watch your videos because I am a novice when it comes to paint. It may be too late to ask but can you include a clip about how you compound and polish it and what products you use to do that.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Hi Steve yes I can do that mate for you no problem

[@brookieant]

Nice one Tony looks like a night & day differents to what it was 👌🏽👌🏽👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Thanks buddy and it sure does

[@shaunnormancroft]

hi tony I like that you put that bit more effort in for your customers, and to be honest so do I would rather be highly praised than slagged off and the word of mouth for the extra bit of work pays off in the long run, nice job bud.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

That is exactly it buddy that’s why I don’t mind the extra effort as in the long run it keeps our shop rammed

[@garypollentine194]

A cracking job as always mate like I said before if people watch the whole van paint from start to fin people will then realise just how much hard work and how much time goes into a paint job especially a full quality paint job like you do, so like I said a good job mate I know its daft but I miss painting cars vans and trucks the biggest thing I ever painted was a 18 wheeler combo people have said to me why do I miss working , I've worked all my life you can't just switch off doing something you love doing,keep up the good work mate

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Thanks Gary and I’m the same mate il be doing this till I can’t anymore

[@willsachs]

Your work is always a level above!

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

We try our best mate

[@seasonedtoker]

The way I like to mask with paper or foilwrap is to put the paper or wrap slightly below the actual line I am working on. Then I add another layer of tape on top to make the fine line. That allows me to pull the tape around the line while the paint or topcoat is still little sticky, but leaving the paper/wrap in place. Easier to pull tape than flapping with paper sheets around a tacky car. Gives a better finish too

[@angelonikitaras2977]

that looks great, color combo works well will look great all together outside top work

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Yeah I can’t wait to see it rebuilt

[@VladimirZalenski]

Fantastic job mate the old bus looks mint and has to be better than new. Please don't beat yourself up about the lost footage Tony I know it's a shame but it's not your fault plus there is nothing you can do about it now, it seems to be a built in feature of the gopro it's aim is to piss it's owners off, all the years these camera's have been out it's really annoying as to why they don't sort these bugs out 🤷‍ You were using the green fine line tape so can you tell me what the JTape Orange 6mm is like and what the difference is between the colours, someone has given me a tin of blue candy and a new reel of orange fine line so was wondering what the orange tape was for, cheers mate 🤗👍

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Il be honest mate I’m not sure you’d have to check on there website mate but I’ve had no issues with either colour mate

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Ok thanks Tony I'll have a look, I've heard there are differences in the way they flex/stretch and the colours tell you what is what 🤔 👍

[@sloopycat1954]

Sorry Tony I wasn't thinking properly asking you if you could simplify the terminology involved, as you only have a certain amount of time. I especially appreciate your time and effort teaching us all, as I was unfortunately let down by the education system yet again this year and wasn't excepted on the refinishing course.

[@tompeter7326]

very good color match, to my opinion an old car should receive old style color and not for example a glitter paint.

100% agree mate there

How do you paint well inside the air intake grilles on these and especially on beetles.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Honestly man you’d laugh if I told you lol , they were that bad we cut them out paint stripped inside it all painted it , then welded it all back up over it , then plugged the gaps all the way through the rear of the process so we didn’t mess it up inside lol

[@cmarshall4559]

@@TonysRefinishingTV that is funny. The only other guy I knew who fixed the problem on a beetle cutv the shelf out from below and chromed it. All the others I see look like hell. Nice job. Thanks for reply.

[@darrenmoloney7685]

How do you quote on this size of job ? Did you expect over 100 hours before you started ? Really nice straight job though 👌

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Il be honest this one was about what I expected in some ways we knew it was going to be a nightmare from the start abs that wasn’t down to the customer but people Who have let him down in the past , the honest answer is on most jobs like this I give a price range from one to another and it usually ends up then somewhere in between

[@tompayne4945]

Pleasantly surprised by the colour change! much more classy IMO. Footage would've been good, but its not that much of the job overall, as we all know. Good job bud!

depends on the gloss in this case yes mate

[@davidbeattie8526]

in the process of a full resto on my 73 Bay, all the welding/new panels in, epoxy, fill/flat/fill/flat etc and now I am thinking of using the Evercoat Optex superbuild or the Slick Sand to seal it all up and give me enough build to get straight - have you ever used either on a VW Camper?

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

ive heard awesome things about there new 3 in 1 product mate the one thats epoxy / spray filler and primer in one id go for that

[@isaurovelazquez4687]

Super super bro !!!!!!!yeaaa

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Thanks

[@Mikefngarage]

Tony was that direct gloss?

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

It was mate yes

[@onomatopoeidia]

Looks fantastic. Just checking, was that the same MIPA epoxy you used at the start you have also used as a final coat to seal in the primer work? I’m Also working with the MIPA 4+1 primer and will be a few months before I do the final colour so thinking I could seal the finished, flattened primer work before I get to the final paint? Thanks for the great content!

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Hi buddy yes same epoxy , don’t seal primer with epoxy , epoxy should come before primer

[@onomatopoeidia]

@@TonysRefinishingTV yes I already have epoxy over my bare metal. I thought that was a thin layer of epoxy you put to cover the patch up putty? I’m concerned about leaving the primer exposed to the elements.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

So I put epoxy on the bare metal blocked that did the filler work then used a light layer of epoxy to seal everything followed by primer mate

[@onomatopoeidia]

@@TonysRefinishingTV great ok thanks for the follow-up, really appreciate that! Great content and all the best for your business!

[@satamanschmidt3428]

Tony, I notice your boys at SP Supplies don't carry Sagola. David told me in an Email a while back that they were trying to get Sagola but hadn't yet been able to. Do you know if this situation has changed and if it will? I bought several Walcom Carbonio guns from David when he was "at that other place" but Walcom's prices have gone insane. In my view both Iwata and Sagola are the best bang for the buck in the current market and I sure would like to find a reasonable source for Sagola.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Not yet mate I believe talks are going on but no word as yet fella if there’s any change there though I will mention it on the channel so you guys know if they are being stocked

[@codyydoc1589]

Hi, just like a little advice from an experienced painter. I work in the furniture/kitchen refinishing business and currently having problems with the level of our 2pac gloss level being reduced once it has cured. The paint rep has advised us that we are applying the correct amount of build which is 200 to 250 microns of paint yet the problem still occures. I was thinking that the amount of thinners is a little to much @ 30% of a 2/1 mix which might be taking out the body/gloss of the paint? Any advice would be much appreciated.
