Hey Mike. To say your happy is an under statement. Glad you got it fixed it does look great. 👍

[@junksautomotive]

@anviltech1839 Thanks Aron. That's a great big weight off my shoulders! Have a great week buddy!

[@tony2good726]

Great how it turned out. I learned how to do a spot fix. My daughter’s fender has a spot just above that size that is chipped. I’m gonna give it a shot now. Thanks to your patience and perseverance.

[@junksautomotive]

@tony2good726 Thanks Tony! Just be patient and don't give up!

[@ceedell]

Alright Mike, lookin good! These ordeals can be nerve racking but it makes the success all the better!

[@junksautomotive]

@ceedell Thanks Wendell! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and the car as a whole will look better in the end. Ill try and get you something in the mail this week. I'm bad about mailing stuff 😪

[@BrianRoy-x2e]

Perseverance!! Job well done. It looks great!! I'll be painting my MGA next year and I've learned a lot from your channel.

[@junksautomotive]

@BrianRoy-x2e wow thanks Brian. The best thing you can learn from me is to know mistakes happen and don't give up! Have a great week buddy!

[@ClassicCarOverhaul]

Way to go, I knew you would figure it out! Removing the dust nibs and orange peel will easy to take out!

[@junksautomotive]

@ClassicCarOverhaul Thanks Sam! Yep the least if my worries. Have a great week and hope that impala is still moving along!

[@toejam503]

My experience with painting is buying custom mixed auto paint in spray cans for motorcycle frames, bumpers, gastanks etc. I've done some 2 stage but I don't like it, I prefer single stage. I feel clear coat makes colors too reflective and takes away from the color appearance. This vid ought to save some of your viewers time on their projects. Good Luck 👍

[@junksautomotive]

@@toejam503 Thanks Toejam! I hope someone learns from my horrible mistakes!

[@wrightsrrt871]

If you buy an mil guage you should buy the Reese vs i have an video on it but it's spendy so be aware but comes with plates yo redial it in. I bought mine at homedepot. Also if you get an touch-up gun try for 2.0 tip Trigger man told me then the matalics will flow through. I have an video as well on an Dynastus 0.8 tip works great and only $30 on the Amazon! I shoot my door jambs with it when there's no matalics. Another older product that's good and I've not had issues with is the finish 1 lineup which advertises's as acme but is actually part of the Schwerin William's brand from my understanding. The dtm and clear are only $100.00 an gallon kit on Amazon as well.

[@junksautomotive]

@wrightsrrt871 I pained a fender for a guy and he brought me paint and clear from Finish 1. I thought it was pretty good from what I remember. Not sure I dig this Restoration Shop stuff 🤔 Glad you checked out the video. Good hearing from ya buddy!

[@wrightsrrt871]

@@junksautomotive yah i stopped buying resto shop brand and I also avoid the nason stuff as well not really liking them either I've moved on to shopline ppg now for base and I use alot of finish 1 or high-tech for primers.

[@junksautomotive]

@wrightsrrt871 I did use all Matrix on my Cadillac.... no problems even for me! But it was pricy..
