Multiple FAILS on the Cheap Jaguar Paint Job! (It Looks Outrageous)

The cheap paint shop FAILED in a few places on the Jaguar job; but it still looks outrageous! Overall I'm pretty happy with it! Now let's paint the wheels, brake calipers, and do a full brake job!

It’s not over spray. It’s a lazy tape & cover job.

[@randythompson4006]

Your damn lucky you didnt snap the lugnuts right off by standing on the rachet. Get a good 4-way or a breaker bar and the right socket. That adapter was good to maybe 75 ft lbs. Your wheels are torqued to 100 + ftlbs.

You should paint the inside of the wheel wells black - I think it'll help counteract the cheap paint job look a lot.

[@yourhandlehere1]

Nah...red to match the calipers. Then take a can of red and spray all up in there where the trans cooler is.

Haha I did the same thing with the intercooler when I painted my old Volvo when I was like 17.

[@saturnotaku]

Next time you prep a car for paint, you should try to mask off some of the areas where you might get overspray. It might take several hours or a day, but you'll get a much better result, even if you use a cheap shop.

[@johnhull6363]

I really like how you did the wheels... I also love the playing cards trick.... I learned something today.... thanks Sam

[@chrisrawk5802]

just randomly stumbled across your Chanel, Ive worked a good dozen years in the collision repair field... Its not for maaco or the lower end repair shops however I must admit that I love what I do, I love the line of work and what i love the most is seeing the customer as excited as you are to get there cars back knowing the hard work that i had put into the vehicle to get the job done.. Seeing customers whom are as excited as you are make it go All worth while!! Congrats on your Jag Project!! keep up th e awesome work and videos!

[@charlesmcgehee3227]

Wow. For the price, you got a really nice looking job. I like the color. Once you get the grill screen sorted out and the bumper redone, the final sanding and buff out will surely give you a beautiful job. I have a black 2001 miata that ALMOST needs a full paint job. But since the clearcoat is still intact I will try a full buffing with a cool new buffer I just got. THANK YOU!!

[@DOOM.Fi3nd]

That jag would look sick with black detailing.

[@scottgray9674]

I love how they just forgot a corner of it

[@danielruskin3620]

Quality workmanship right there. How could they even let that go out like that.

[@Gearheadcentral]

It could have been because of poor lighting in the spray booth. The bigger question is why wasn't it found and fixed before giving it back.

[@kpb711]

[@kpb711]

[@bigwangmark]

Perfect color sam. I was hoping you would go with a light blue. Just clean and paint the wheel arches black and it's going to look mint. I think with that amazing blue that black rims with a matching blue lip edge would look amazing. Well done.

[@Dave-in-France]

I think your car is going to look gorgeous when it's fully done. And the fact that it only cost $500 to paint it is truly fabulous.

[@Grenyas]

Honestly, for the price, I'd be happy. It came out better than I expected.

[@foureye7058]

For that price I'd rather do it in my yard...

[@johnhull6363]

For 500 you can't beat it

[@mcearl8073]

Agreed, it’s not bad for the cost. Some of these people in the comments seem to think you’ll get a perfect show car paint job for sub 500 bucks.

[@foureye7058]

I agree that the paintjob itself is pretty good. And I doubt I could really do better in that department. But I know if I spent 500$ on paint, fresh spray tips and some plastic sheet... Well I could probably match that quality, and the car wouldn't have nasty overspray and poor line work.

[@mcearl8073]

Meeker Extreme everyone always says wraps, have you looked at the price of a full car wrap? It’s much more expensive than a cheap paint job, it’s several thousand dollars. And plastidip to me is a terrible choice in most cases and it’ll still cost about the same and you have to do it yourself, if you want to pay someone to do it it’ll cost more than this paint job by a factor of 2 at least. Most people looking at this car from a few feet away and just glancing at it will not see any of the imperfections and literally all of them he can fix with a bit of thinner and a rag.

[@stevencorbo1220]

So I guess in addition to pre body work it really pays to get your own brown paper and tape off everything you don't want to get over sprayed

[@jaysfan19]

Sam buddy, the roof, the trunk button and the wheel wells, that can be fixed, the roof gasket/trim, you may have to do some masking outside the trim, fine scotch brite and a spray can of satin black paint will fix that up, inside the right wheel well and suspension, little scuffing up with sand paper and you can use either mat or gloss black paint, will be as good as new. You might want to look into taking off the intercooler and clean it up, not sure how, all that paint in there, can't be good I don't think. Other than that, the car looks good. The only question is, how much overspray is on the seats? :)

[@chubbysumo2230]

one could say...They Blue it all.

[@eduardocorreia4610]

Were the seats a reference to Rob's BMW? LOL

[@blowmytrump1235]

I worked at maaco and maaco is just a step above econo. Honestly that is the same job you would have got from maaco. Glad you got what you were expecting. Also very happy you realized you were going to get some cut corners with the over spray. I do remember as a detailer at maaco, there were plenty of botch overspray spots where I really had to do my work as a detailer and make it look as if it never was there. Either way, I learned a lot at the shop, met a lot of cool people.. A lot of people who are struggling with finances etc or schooling. But regardless. Working on cars is a great job and trade, I enjoyed my time there.. Seeing how not to do somethings and how to get away with certain tricks. There's always something to learn from any body shop. In all honesty, the only diference in home brew body shops is that they know their own name is on it while at maaco or franchise, there are multiple people that hit the car, so the respnsibility is a lot more prone to failure only due to, someone not wanting to do someone elses job. Like i had detailers that hated fixing prep's mistakes (all that overspray). But it is the detailers job to fix the wheel wells, point out ANY missed spots.. They should have took care of all that when it came out of the oven when they were taking the paper and tape off. But regardless, glad you're happy with the paint job. if you wanna see a REAL BOTCH paint job, check out my RUSTOLEUM video on my page.. Its a maaco special lol.. Came out great if you ask me, i spent peanuts on the paint and piecing the prep materials. I'd seriously consider doing a rustoleum paint job over an econo just because you'd save alot of money and learn a lot about orange peel, and how to deal with botch paint jobs lol. I'm a seasoned detailer from maaco though, we had so many botches lol!!! But I'm so glad cause I learned so much.

[@jaywells5283]

Dude i have to take a minuet and say, I watch the standard car rehab shows, like the fast and loud, the counting cars, goin way back to the early two thousands, I’m not big on videos on here where they show and refers cars and she the work cause the hosts are usually douchey, but I totally enjoy your channel! You seem like a genuine guy, and you explain everything honestly and I love that! Keep up the good work and I’ll keep watching!

[@nickwilczynski3684]

To be honest, I don't care what anyone says, I think it looks absolutely terrific. And having the grille and jaguar name etc (extras) painted, I think that looks neat. For 500 bucks that's a steal.

[@d1sknt73]

[@fillg]

In the 80's I had a friend get a car painted at a place called Earl Scheib. His slogan at the time was "I'll paint any car any color for just $99.95". After seeing the paint job I don't think he masked anything. I picture him holding the paint gun in one hand and a piece of cardboard in the other to block most of the overspray but he painted over the Chevy emblems, the trim, the chrome grille and bumpers, all of it. There was overspray on windows, tires and lights. It was awful.

[@steveandrews1982]

fillg lol I hear older folks talk about that place, I can imagine

[@Hotrodelectric]

I'm old enough to remember ".....29.95, no ups, no extras!"

[@dayyou]

[@Thechildishmandingo]

dayyuu HAha yup people always talk shit about that place in the car Facebook groups

[@danielscott6787]

fillg : Growing up on Youngstown, Ohio. We had a Earl Scheibs & another paint your car chain called : The Auto Painter's. Having bought my first car at 13 ( paper route & cutting grass $$) I bought a 69 Road Runner for $700.00. After ditching all the 70's " goodness" - Garter belt hung from the mirror, air shocks with big old Cragar SS rims, playboy bunny with a light on the rearend etc.I braze in new sheet metal patches and plenty of bondo, put Magnum 500 14' rims, cranked down the torsion bar and dropped the air shocks. Buying a set of used black bucket seats and back seats from a parts car 69 Charger. Put on a incorrect for the year flat black spoiler off a guy at the bars duster twister. Plenty of weekend and night time sanding, I took it to Earl Scheib for the $99.95 paint job in Tor Red- which they ended up having to repaint it twice as well- also they had to repaint the 2 flat black hood stripes as well. But I must say for the money at the time and me doing ALL the prep work- pulling grille/ headlight/ taillights, bumpers, door handles etc and going over all the weather strip with lacquer thinner and taping off 75% of the car by myself. It truly came out nice. Spent a year managing the local Auto Painter's location. Who used Western Color system Acrylic Enamel with hardener. Which I mixed per the body tag or came up with a custom color I mixed, or what the customer picked from "the book". We had a strict policy of having the customers clean their car as much as possible before bringing it in to be painted. Dry sanded with 180 then 320 on a "jitterbug" sander. Pre- detailed and checked over with a florescent light bar behind me to see any un sanded places, where it might not have been feather edged correctly sanded and primed, wet sanded and blocked. You must got one he'll of a deal for $500.00. Considering our base paint job started out a $350.00/ door jamba, under the trunk and hood was extra, so was stepping up to sealer before paint or having Urethane paint sprayed. No surprise it was done in 1 day. As an average we painted 5-6 cars a day. I even had my 73 RS camaro painted at E.S. BUT I purchased my own paint in Higher Orange from the body shop store and they still charged me $99.95 but had a real real nice paint job. Over spray is to be expected then cleaned up later. I personally would have went with a Red or Burgundy- with metallic- Acrylic Enamel. Interesting to see what the Jaguar turns out like. Just think the blue is more for a Mustang or Camaro.

[@Dazedviper1]

Paint grill, emblems and wrap roof black; maybe even mirrors. That would give the blue more pop and give it an aggressive look. Love the color but the cars that have similar oem paint have a more aggressive body styles. You don't want to look like a soundcloud rapper but an aggressive 500hp european car enthusiast. Black accents , black accents black accents . Also remove paint on intercooler, it really robs you on efficiency. Brake cleaner or carb cleaner is good but I think if you put it in a tub soak it in purple magic it would be easier .

[@diarmuidmarsden7752]

dapz325 Yeah I agree. A lot of people don't like this colour, but black trim would really set it off.

[@ZerotheWanderer]

My family (at least mom and dad) always tell them to hand tighten them. What could be like a 10 minute wheel change somewhere turns into an hour+ of waiting on a service vehicle or rollback or something. Total BS.

[@LadyJesterSurfer]

I've discover shit like this before. Learned a long time ago to add a length(4-6ft) of pipe over the wrench. Adds enough leverage to pop the lugs loose. Has always worked for me.

[@manoman0]

Why is this paint job ok? I mean, even for this price, weren't it clear that one had to deliver a perfect job of taping and covering? They could've done it easily without more efforts. I'd never sell a person a paint job like that.

I own a Jaguar S type & I love it. I’m disappointed in seeing such a beautiful car in this hideous color. But hey-if you like it, I can’t knock it!

[@Thomas63r2]

It has been awhile since I prepped one of my cars for paint (~1990). What I did was to completely strip all the lights emblems window seals and gaskets windshield moldings and gaskets (so the new paint would go under all exterior ornamentation trim seals and gaskets). I drove it to the shop and did the final removal of the tail lights. I told the shop there was no rush on paint, that they should work on the high dollar work orders before they got to mine. They appreciated my patience and rewarded me with a fabulous base coat clear coat paint that in my eyes looked almost show quality with no obvious orange peel. No need to work with economy paint shops, for barely more money you can find a quality shop that will work with you - just steer clear of such obvious cheap paint colors like French Blue! Alternatively you can paint your car yourself with a quality enamel roll on like rustoleum and then color sand any orange peel.

[@cheese.n.crackers]

Can’t beat that for a budget paint job.

[@BubbaunJohn]

Ok, I really only tuned in a while back to watch the pizza car saga, but I admit that this Jag has me intrigued. Many, many years ago I had an acquaintance who worked at Winn Dixie with me. He lived in a tumble down shack, all his earnings went for insurance payments, but he owned a Jaguar. He couldn't even afford to get a tune-up on the thing, but by God, he owned a Jag!

I sure he assumed the body shop was going to mask it off, as anyone would have expected. I get that a cheap paint job isn't going to get a lot of prep at the body shop, but you'd think they would at least mask everything off!

[@gilbertvehicleservices]

I know two people who had professional looking paint done at Maaco: both did all of the prep themselves including sanding, priming, block sanding, and masking. They towed their car to Maaco and masked it onsite. A nice paint job takes a LOT of labor: 90% of it is in preparation for paint.

Always enjoy your videos. Whenever I have Econo paint any of my cars, I remove anything that I do not want paint on.. especially mirrors. I also back tape my door jambs, and place paper in front of radiators, condensers, etc.

[@1stGenRex]

I like the color. I painted a bike frame in a similar color back in HS, and it was pretty sweet.

[@georgiemac3662]

Sam you can't say we didn't warn youuuuuuu

[@kpb711]

Georgie Mac he is not smart enough to listen to people that actually know

[@poot111111]

wow, $500! And come on Sam, you have that huge air compressor, get a real impact gun!

[@Samcrac]

100% next time I'm at the Harbor....

[@poot111111]

FYI even AvE had great things to say about this one... kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKK6qqOKdqxnftk If I was in the market I would check it out fo' sho'

[@AbbigailWesterdale]

Yeah, I was about to comment that the Chicago electric impacts from harbor freight are pretty nice and then I saw that huge air compressor in the background. :)

[@johnhansen4550]

get some impact sockets.

[@danielfl.9347]

That is one lousy job. But that's what you get for 2-300$..

[@grandinosour]

This paint shops main business are car dealers wanting to spiff up a back row special so he can get and extra $1000 out it.

[@XBexGone]

Dead ass i got my paint job done in tj for like 800 tops nd it came out way better than this

[@Samcrac]

That is EXACTLY what they told me; mostly dealers getting the cheap jobs.

[@mr7folife]

Exactly

[@stevenmacmillan1401]

Even with the flaws I like it . I own an R too and will be keep a close eye in your up coming vids cheers

[@ronc.3263]

I would have done all the headlight polishing and brakes before painting the car but you did a good job!!

[@aserta]

Whilst you still have time you should thinner remove all the over spray. Were I you, i would get on it now. Pronto.

[@meister3pc]

aserta by the time he got it back it was too late.

[@yourhandlehere1]

He'd end up making a worse problem.

[@ThePatrickBateman69]

Thinner eats the clear coat, it’s too aggressive. Especially because it’s only been a few days since the clear coat was sprayed, it needs weeks to “breathe out” and harden. If anything he should just wait a few days and go over it with a very fine sandpaper (1500grit) and polish it out to remove the haze marring

[@swalls48]

respectfully.... horrible idea. it would be a disaster.

[@reallystupidvlogs2624]

"Its twice as durable" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 jesus christ

[@Mike2321x]

what did you use to polish your headlights? ive got to do some work to mine on my car its kinda like driving by candle light at this point for me

[@Vacated204]

Mike2321x look up chrisfix's vido on headlight cleaning

[@jstdrv]

Great job. You should get a set of 22 inch Chinese chrome wheels with ling-long tyres to go with the paintjob

[@SYFGARAGE]

all of these issues are expected. It actually looks amazing for the price. With the exception of not having any paint on the right side of the front bumper cover. lol

[@midnightdarkchocolate]

Damn not only did you do the body and prep work but they want you to do the masking too😂😂😂

[@bitinstrumentos7006]

Killa Namikaze Masking is still prep work so...

[@brendal5175]

Well You paid for a "Paint job" You didn't pay for the labor for a quality masking job.

[@jaxvlogsfailflicks9253]

Brenda L yeah he did the the prep on it he could have taped it off

[@brendal5175]

Yes, I have been following Sam's site for several months I saw his prep work. I'm just saying: He got what he paid for "A Paint job". Nothing more.

[@jaxvlogsfailflicks9253]

Meeker Extreme what I don't understand is he's good at putting cars back together why didn't you just take the bumper off like you're supposed to and take the grill out and all that

[@TheVegasbud]

500 bucks is 500 bucks !lolo Not bad for 500 bucks Sam, get a black rattle can and hit the fender wells and intercooler and the lip under the doors and your good ... Cheap decent paint job , durable Ehhhh questionable but still decent looking lol Get some 00 still wool and hit the window outsides for overspray and your good lol

[@bboysfanatic]

Chris Yeah, hit the intercooler again so the air is blocked. Smh

[@Averna222]

bboysfanatic uhhhhh, a light coating to cover up the blue is perfectly fine.

[@chrissearls2007]

I've had overspray like that before, usually the fender liners are dirty and/or greasy enough that just a quick spray from a pressure sprayer or a quick trip to the car wash will clean the overspray right off! Just be careful of the fresh paint on the car!

[@christophercrawford2736]

Chris how still does that wool have to stay?

[@Dazedviper1]

Chris Yes paint effects performance, yes double paint effects performance x2 . He should let it soak in some purple power to remove the paint or something more powerful like carb cleaner . Rest of your comment is correct . Cheers

[@paulfromjupiter]

Jaguar did a custom XKR-S for Nicko McBrain, the drummer from Iron Maiden, in a shade of blue close to this with red calipers and black wheels. I was able to see the car in person right after he got it. Definitely pops in the sun.

[@danb.3397]

Also, usually the color shift happens under lights like sodium or other kinds of street lights but just from a can maybe not so much in daylight.

[@FoolCrzy]

OK. I had to pause at 10:40. I've painted a number of wheels in my life. I LOVE the playing card trick! Had never seen it.

[@SpiritBear12]

Chris Fix painted some wheels and used Cue cards to mask off the tire.

[@thisguy1890]

Look up the story of the guy who used some old magic the gathering cards. Turns out one was worth a loooooot of money

[@GuessWho-uc5uq]

Playing cards, cue cards, index cards. They all work. Been using that method for years with no over spray.

[@nubreed13]

mighty car mods does that too

[@thisguy1890]

@@nubreed13 dude dont diss MCM by comparing them to this trashfire haha

[@jburtonfan4lif3]

David Patterson would be proud

[@i000_]

be careful, KFC may come at you next for that chicken 😂😂😂.... Good video 👍🏽👍🏽

[@primalfury2011]

nice trick with the cards...never seen that before !!

[@tonytrilex2555]

The playing cards idea is really smart!

[@davidconley3610]

Looks like Dominos blue!!!!

[@hamonrye7415]

Shh don't give dominos another reason to go after him!

with red calipers and "silver" wheels.

Pedro Borges he should put pizza rims on it hahahaha

[@WBush-uc9pe]

Heh! AvE couldn't have said it better himself. kzbin.info

[@Aperson156]

W. Bush Holy hell. I never realized that AvE really stood for anything. That url just blew my mind.

[@JAydUBr6]

I can't believe this came from a company, it's really bad even for the price! There's really no excuse for some of these mistakes, money can't buy common sense I guess, holy shit. Great color though, but poorly implemented. You could have done a better job yourself, it's like the person doing it was blind.

[@teknowil]

great color??

[@codylapoint]

I hate the color, i dont like that the idiots literally masked nothing off, and i would be flipping my lid. You paid them 500 bucks to ruin your car. Ive done nicer work in my yard while watching 3 toddlers half drunk!

[@masterchiefgtxable]

They have literally damaged his car by painting the intercooler... It will be less efficient now. There's no way I'd look at a car of mine after they did that job and say it was "decent".

[@lee77100]

You have no idea what you're talking about, everybody thinks they can paint a car because they painted a model once when they were 13. For 500 dollars if you want a 5000 dollar job you need to do all the masking yourself and I mean mask everything because you're not paying that shop to do it and that shop is not making hardly any money on your job especially not enough to spend half a day masking. These shops offer these cheap jobs for cheap people and only make money from volume. That being said for 500 bucks I think it turned out pretty damn good my shop wouldn't paint one fender for 500.

[@jaapseiye2246]

correct I ran a spray shop offering similar deal, most people are realistic on what they are getting then there are the people who think Charlie Hutton is going to strip their car to pieces paint it , reassemble it for a fraction of what the big companies charge.

[@boostedM]

This color looks killer! Excited to see it all come together

[@mrgrandprix13]

Nice choice in color hope you’ll do the grill mesh and inter cooler grill black

[@jamespn]

Earl Sheib would be proud.

[@arethouready]

Sam why don’t you build your own paint booth on your farm that would be such s cool build it’s really something I’m interested in you could even do work on the side to make some money

[@station240]

You know why he can't, why ask ? He'd walk away for a moment, and come back to a cow painted french racing blue!

[@strikeforcek9149]

arethouready - It sounds like a great idea, but when you put in a paint booth it's a pain in the ass because of all the EPA regs and etc. Then, if you get snitched on by someone and the EPA shows up, youre in for a REALLY big surprise (hint: a fine from HELLLLL, hehe). Given that his channel is public, I could see some haters causing some real trouble for him. :/

[@MissMusicQueen101]

Hi Sam!! Hope you're doing ok with everything thats going on💜

[@albertoramirez5977]

Ohhhh god! This all for content lady. The guy is obviously living a life of leisure

[@crustyolcoot6646]

Yeah Brendan and possibly eating more pizza than he can handle. Happy days.

[@rodrigosanchez3139]

I like u did this on a Budget. That anybody can do or give somebody good idea. Love the color. Keep up the good work

[@ansdguy1]

Great color choice, Sam. I love it one the Focus RS.
