✅ About Lost Socket Garage:
Lost Socket Garage.com was created in 2019, though its roots run much longer. It all began with a group of friends that loved to modify their cheap high school cars with next to no actual budget. Originally focusing on our love of American Muscle, we grew into specializing in Classic Ford mustangs and more specifically the highly popular Coupe to Fastback Conversion. With the Fastback Market skyrocketing, we wanted to provide a realistic alternative to owning a classic Fastback without shelling out the premium they draw.
With many Successful conversions under our belt, our goal is to provide Knowledge, Experience, and the highest Quality in the industry at a reasonable price. At Lost Socket Garage, we truly love the car culture and the community that goes with it. It’s not about the money, it’s about making people smile when they hit the gas.
Sincerely, Hunter Smith
Owner and Gearhead at Lost Socket Garage

The paint turned out really nice. Keep up the great work guys!

[@rickyshouseofcrap8600]

if you use a fan when painting make sure its rated for painting and the curtain will not keep your clear over spray from getting in the rest of the shop the over spray will go over the top through the rafters just trying to help

[@poppacapinya]

good info guys . ive a little bit of painting and made some mistakes but over all looked good i think the key is to take your time dont be in a rush ...and toaster strudels are better than poop tarts.lol

[@AlfsMustangGarage]

Looking good guys!

[@lostsocketgarage]

Thanks man!!!

[@bradycsummers]

Great video!

[@mickeyparson9778]

Yep learned the hard way, opened the garage door and dumped fresh dirt onto my perfect VW body, argg!

[@lostsocketgarage]

Oh no!!! Well lesson learned I guess. Hard one though

[@drewschumann1]

The problem is defining "quality". Factory style single stage paint is relatively easy. And frankly, i appreciate it better than more modern standards of paint on vintage cars

[@stevenbohmfalk8686]

Love the video! Did you heat the garage for painting? I saw the note that it was 200F in there. Was that serious or just joking?

[@lostsocketgarage]

Just joking. But yes we do turn the heater to like 70 to paint

[@brianf8621]

Can you explain: 1 Gun setup. 2 Why did you paint it black before the base coat? 3 what is a drop coat?

[@lostsocketgarage]

1: Typically whatever your spraying will have a reference sheet that will give you ideal pressure settings. Get a solid digital air pressure gauge on your gun then tune it before you spray. 2: Depending on the color you spray, different colors of primer can be used. basically the lighter color you spray the lighter the primer should be. There is much more to it, but thats a good overview. 3: Drop coat is when you pull your gun further away and let the paint atomize and fall where it may. Kinda lightly showering your last coat over it. Then is a solid blending technique. This is a brief rundown, but I hope it helps. @paintsociety has some great vids on all of this.

When you put the sealer down do you block sand it before base?

[@lostsocketgarage]

The base sealer? The epoxy primer?

[@fdwsr71]

@@lostsocketgarage Sorry the Base Sealer

[@CWS-me3mv]

Why does it cost $15k? What does paint and the needed materials cost on average?

[@ArmChairKoalaBare]

cause a real paint job takes 100s of hours.

[@drewschumann1]

​@@ArmChairKoalaBare bullshit. Modern standards create these fake plastic looking paint jobs. Real 60s cars wore much more affordable paint. Modern paint on a 60s car are like DDDD cup stripper boobs and look wrong

[@lostsocketgarage]

Paint is very exspensive, mainly because it is an art. It takes tons of hours to get right. And it's the first thing people notice on your car, so its worth the money. Cheap paint= headaches shortly after

[@fdwsr71]

How long do you wait before you cut and buff?

[@lostsocketgarage]

Really depends, but most say a weekish at least
