PAINT Your Car Like THIS For CHEAP! AMAZING Results on 1959 Ford - My Son's First Hot Rod

[@rayinpau.s.a.6351]

I felt proud of both of you , For NOT yelling and making your Son upset , And for JD standing up to a challenge . your right , this is a fine paint job !

[@bigbuck1318]

You are doing a good job teaching your son to paint his car. It makes me a little bit anxious telling your son what he is doing wrong when he is painting. When I was young and my dad was alive he would scream at me and would grab the gun away from me and not tell me what I was doing wrong. I almost relive those days. Props to you.👍

Great video! I love watching you and JD work together. And especially your ability to offer JD constructive criticism; teaches team work and the importance of taking pride in doing things well. Also y’all are close to home (native St. Louisan here) so your videos always are comforting and enjoyable for me.

The VoTech school in my district did the paint & body work on my 1960 F-100. I had to help sand & prime for 4 Saturdays while the students worked all week. We painted it with Krylon rattle cans. The instructor invented a handle that clipped on the cans. Damn near the same as shooting with a pro gun. We clear coated, but as hard of paint as yours. Cannot kill tractor paint. 25 years & my pickup still looks good though. White on top & ford blue on the bottom & white interior.

I am lovin this series with your son, you are correct "this is hot-rodding" and letting him get in and work for it is the best thing you could have done for him. I'm 71, for 17 years I was a body and paint guy and I remember Fords when they had enamel on them from the factory, you guys nailed a factory finish on that "59. Can't say for sure they may have been using tractor paint in Deerborn at the time. I'm still in the hobby, just putting the finishing touches on an LS-powered "83 G-Body wagon, I hope you and your boy can do it as long as I have.

[@jondahl9826]

Nice thing about classic cars is that they don't need perfect paint. The body has character and style. Modern cars have little of both so need to have perfect shiny paint to be appealing. The kid is doing great!

[@ChipW]

I think the wheels that are on look great. However, I was going to suggest some old cragar 5 spokes (or knock offs), but the Goat already has those. I'm really not sure of any other style wheel that would look right on that car. Maybe some black steelies with chrome beauty rings and chrome baby moon hub caps. Paint the black the same color blue or white to match the car. Honestly, probably white since the bottom is already blue.

Love what you are doing and you are doing a terrific job teaching JD - people’s voices tend to go up an octave when paint starts flying, but you are very patient with him.

High Buck - chrome reverse (spiders optional) with a set of one inch whitewalls. The paint colors says “early ‘60’s” to me and both those wheel tire combos were in vogue then.

Best way I've found to avoid bugs is to paint just as the sun comes up, the air is still, and the bugs seem to go to bed and aren't attracted to light as much. Plus it's not as hot when you spray, and as the day warms up it will help the paint dry
