Mini update - Bare Metal Re-Spray on A Classic Mini - PT6

[@DETAILINGLAW]

You deserve more my friend Tony. You put in a lot of free tuition for the likes of us who are gradually graduating from a DIY to not considering adding this to our professional list. You give me a lot of confidence with your patient explanations. Thank you 🙏🏿. I pray you hit 100000 plus by end of this year. God bless

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Thanks man and I’d love to get that 100,000 plaque one day

[@arnierock9558]

Incredible amount of work congrats on your site it's great to watch such a talented professional we don't have many left in our trade keep them coming for the next generation of skilled people to learn

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Thanks Arnie and I hope the next generation care as much about the trade and the old cars too

[@martysprojects]

Hi Tony, found your channel approx 18 months ago, watch every video but got to say loved the mini respray, got a couple of classic mini's myself just finishing the painting on one now, have learnt so much from your video's, big thanks for spending the time making these playlists it's this sort of content that makes you tube. cheers Martin (a bald bloke from England now living in NZ).

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Lol thanks Martin really glad they help mate that’s why I started the channel all those many years ago

[@brianhull5125]

Loving all of this as it’s evoking memories of me spraying my dads mini…obviously it didn’t look anywhere near as good as your finish but it was a huge learning curve and my first attempt at spraying…that was back in 1988…his name was Tony too 😊

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

lol awesome mate

[@sandocheese45]

Congratulations on 30k Tony. Well deserved. Boss channel and work 👍👍👍👏👏👏

Thanks man as that’s awesome dude shoot me some pics over when you’ve finished it all mate

[@shaundadson8302]

Great video series Tony - well done on the subscribers - very deserved, Watched your channel for a long time and my favourite was the Anglia. I don't do the amount of spraying you do, (mostly restoration type panel work and prep), but your tips over the years along with people like the Gunman, Brian @ Paint Society and more recently Gavin Pink have helped me raise my jobs to the next level and with it my enthusiasm for what I do, (self taught sprayer too!). Thanks - keep up the good work.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Awesome, thank you!

Fantastic work as always fella 👏👏

Thanks buddy

[@watchthisspacecarchannel6523]

In many cases I think single stage is really under rated , that looked fantastic, you did an excellent job , and that’s really good advise about using panel wipe on a rag for the inside part. My next three paint projects are all single stage paint and they’re all Toyota white , 2 in 045 commercial white and then a Supra in 040 super white

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

I think so too mate if it’s a good quality one then single stage can be a better option in my opinion

[@cmarshall4559]

Absolutely. On my classics I only use glasurit 21 line SS. It incredible stuff...just like this job👍

If it was me mate I’d have it colour matched by camera in water base then blow in and clear the bonnet

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Very very nice finish from the 2k gloss Tony, even off the gun on those panels it looks like a cob finish so I do hope the Kapci scheme will work well for you mate. Great live chat last night again mate with a good turn out as well there was quite a few on the chat so with all the views this month and passing the 30k subscribers milestone your channel is really taking off mate and you certainly deserve it as I know how much work you put into getting it where it is 👏👌👍 You were saying that the kapci base you tried was mixed 1:1 so were you using solvent Tony as I thought the water was 30-40% 🤔 probably wrong but all I know is that I'm loving the kapci solvent basecoat, it covers in around 2 good coats then a drop coat if needed, ok bud thanks for doing the vid and will chat soon 🙏👍

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Yes mate we’re adding the solvent system into the shop mate for speed and it’s a double system with the gloss and solvent base in one unit so it makes sense tbh

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Ah right I thought you would be staying water base but yeah the solvent is cheaper, faster and covers well. We will both be using the same basecoat then 🤔 I know where to come for my tinters then 🤭😂😉 kidding mate I wouldn't do that to you bud 👍

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Lol 😂 yeah our systems will be the same mate , we may put the water one in too tbh and have all three for training reasons but we shall see

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Yeah well there is no rush once you have the solvent and direct gloss the water system can be added at any time. Sorry to be a pain mate but I'm trying to work out how to decide which colour primer/wow I need for whatever colour basecoat I'm using and my colour blindness is not helping. I've read somewhere that if you take a picture of the basecoat colour then convert it to black and white that will give you the correct grey shade colour for the primer 🤔 do you know if that's right 🤷‍♂️ 😂

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

I have no idea mate tbh lol light colours white or light grey , middle colours light grey dark colours dark grey

[@adampye905]

Another great video and job 👍

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Thanks Adam

[@chrisfreemesser5707]

Can't wait to see the finished product! Do folks in the UK still use these as daily drivers or are they mostly relegated to Sunday drives and show cars now?

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Most are show cars now mate but the customer for this wants to use it not just polish n show it

[@SalvageMasterEssex]

With the amount of traffic and crazy drivers on UK roads today I wouldn't feel safe driving an old mini. Park one of these beside a 'small' modern car and the mini looks like a kids pedal car 😀

[@sirguyfawkes8702]

Hi Tony. Can i ask your advice. How much paint do you estimate is needed to paint a vwT4 camper in solid two pack . Cheers Steve.

[@JacoLabuschagne-d9l]

Hi i have been flowing your work and wow i really love it. I and really needing some of your advice. I am restoring a 1972 Alfa GT and i would like to do things right. The car does have 2k piant on ( white) and i would like to do white again. I know i do need to start by sanding prime and then piant am i correct . What primer must i get .and do i wait a day or two for the primer to dry and then piant. I am from South Africa love your work. Regards Jaco.

[@miceinoz1181]

Cheers from Orstaya mate. You are making me re-evaluate single stage 2K again. One question, as this is a 2K, can a 2K clear still be put on top? I know current technology good quality 2K clears over here have a good UV protection, but am not so sure about the single stage 2K paint you use here. The sun is really harsh on paints over here in Oz. Recommendations?

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Yes you could let this flash for say 15 mine mate then add some extra in protection with a coat of clear if you wanted

[@garypollentine194]

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Don’t be daft man no one is under any obligation to become a member mate just having you guys here and this awesome community tbh is enough for me mate

[@Grahame59]

Excellent. Just curious, what do you do about the small unpainted bits on the inside of the panels where they've been attached to the stands?

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

We try to attach them so that there the smallest bits where the eye won’t see then do a very small carefull touch up once on the car that you won’t notice or where it’s covered

[@davec7738]

Awsome work yet again can I ask what paint would be recommend for home use

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

It’s one technically I can’t recommend for mate as these are professional products meant for booth use , 2k dries quick and is easy enough to use but the fumes ect are not good , waterbase is better I guess but takes a long time to dry if not in a booth and again solvent base and clear is very harmful but would do a great job if used right whichever you choose for home use you need extraction and a good mask setup

[@ivanbrennan9405]

Tony. Really enjoying these videos. Thanks to you I've started getting together all the kit so that I can learn to spray at home. One question I have that I don't think you've covered much is how do you go about stripping old paint off? The panel I'm painting has old crash damage and many layers of paint and filler. It's a bonnet from a 2002 mini cooper s. I'll also need to do the front bumper. There's been some sort of reaction on the old paint and it's been flaking off. Id like to start again from bare metal. The paint strippers I've tried barely touch it and I'm reluctant to use a grinder to sand the paint off as it'll take ages and I'm worried about marking the metal. Any chance of a video covering this? Cheers, loving your work 🤘

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Hi mate on metal paint stripper should do it tbh and on plastic you’ve no choice but sand it back to smooth paint mate but yes I’m try to cover it i a video sometime soon

[@ivanbrennan9405]

@@TonysRefinishingTV that would be great if you could gover the basics like that on the build up prior to getting fresh paint on. I have some more industrial paint stripper on its way so hopefully that'll work. Cheers for replying! Looking forward to getting to grips with the "dark art" that is painting cars

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Lol it’s not a dark art mate it’s a simple process nailing the details is the key that’s why robots do it so we’ll it’s all about repetition

[@AndyTaylor_Paintguy]

Sorry if I missed it but where did you get the paint from? SPS seem to do a good range of kapci but not mixed colours from what I can see. Can't seem to find a local distributor either. Cheers.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Hi Andy if you check the links in the description and head to there Facebook page you can contact them direct for mixed colours mate it’s impossible to have every mixed colour on there website but if you contact them direct you can have any colour gloss or base mixed and shipped direct

[@AndyTaylor_Paintguy]

@@TonysRefinishingTV Thanks Tony. They don't appear to mention paint mixing anywhere on their website, hence the question. Good to know 👍

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

No problem mate and yeah they don’t have it on the site but I know they do as I have some off them lol

[@JJ-sc4uj]

Question if you've time stud , I'm currently doing up a copart front end RTC , I've bought a used bonnet and wings in black , I've bought 2k gloss (white to code) Would i get away with wet & dry 800 and gun them up for coverage or should I prime first?

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

So you only need to prime them mate if the paint underneaths in bad condition you can easily sand it back with p500 dry and shoot ontop if the paints sound

[@steveswain4646]

Why don't you wet on wet the hole pannel rather than spot them in, Is it for cost or material thickness. We always cover the hole pannel which gives it a nice flat finish.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

There’s just no need to cover the whole panel tbh the less the better really for cost and risk of issues

[@werty4329]

No clear coat? Just 3 of colour, is that the standard?

[@darioresendes3021]

Nice job 👌! How many liters of paint you spend in this car? Thanks Tony 👍
