Painting Techniques, Willys Jeep Painting Tips

[@robertmccully2792]

You must have at least 1/2 a million in tools throughout all your videos. It seems the best channels have the most tools and course the experience and money to collect and use them. And then of course you must have a huge shop or shops to use them. That adds another couple hundred thousand. So yes it is well justified that people come to you and pay you whatever it cost, because they do not have the shop area, tools, and know how. And then the time to post videos, is above and beyond! Very smart hard working tradesman. Good job.

Awesome paint job. I worked in a spray booth for 8 years. Looks good.

[@triplea7951]

Couldn’t ask for a better video! Answered all my questions about shooting and how to adjust. Thank-you again for the awesome video.

[@metalshaperJeep]

Thanks, comments like yours are helpful and help me decide on future videos.

[@GAZIS4]

Thanks for sharing with us your experience!

[@gregoutdoorsman4598]

Great tips! Love the diversity of your video topics

[@mikehill1613]

Thank you ..again and again. So very very helpful and immensely practical suggestions.

[@metalshaperJeep]

You are so welcome!

[@MrRDJEEP]

Great explanation on spray gun. I went to school for auto body yrs ago and forgot more than I learned lol. Looking forward to more vids.

[@metalshaperJeep]

Uploading finished body tub now.

[@algerc.5492]

Congrats on the ten thousand subs,. Superb tutorial on basic spraying fundamentals. Cut my teeth many years ago in paint/body shop and this is absolutely spot on.. Get the basics right and then practice, practice, practice,

[@metalshaperJeep]

good to hear from you and glad you enjoyed the video. Trying to get the new generation of painters to follow the basics. I have seen too many new painters not have enough air, a cheap paint gun, and water and oil in the air. Set up correctly, learn the basics, and as you say many hours of practice. Arm and wrist muscle memory are very important. should be finished tomorrow and will post another video showing the primer and paint transformation. Brian

[@KRAMPUS1933]

Hey Brian. Love watching your stuff. The spray tips were really helpful, and the Jeep body is looking terrific. Ten thousand subs mean that the haters were wrong - just like I told ya. Keep up the good work my man!

[@metalshaperJeep]

Good to hear from you. Body tub is coming out great and even though it took a while I finally hit the 10K mark. Thanks for being a continued supporter. Brian

[@jaxtynmartin2841]

a trick : watch series at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

[@maverickhamza1696]

@Jaxtyn Martin Definitely, have been using flixzone for since november myself :)

[@Jay-uh2jb]

Great video. Enjoy all of yours. Keep up the body and paint tips...very useful. I'm currently doing body work and will soon paint an old Jeep I'm rebuilding. Thanks!

[@metalshaperJeep]

Take your time and makes sure to have patience when painting. Keep following the basics and you will have all the information you need to turn out a good paint job.

[@gman4937]

Another great video, Brian. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@metalshaperJeep]

as always thanks for watching. Brian

[@geoben427]

Hi Brian, congratulations on 10K subscribers! Thanks for showing your arsenal of spray guns and the proper way to get good dry air and a preferred spray pattern. That Sierra Blue is a great color! Keep the videos coming!!

[@metalshaperJeep]

Took me a while but finally got to 10K. Sierra blue is a great color and I am posting the video of the process now. More paint videos coming in the future. Thanks for watching. Brian

[@seanmacnee1706]

Inspirational for sure keep up the great work

[@metalshaperJeep]

More paint tips on the way.

[@kenkopystecky5913]

Great Video very Interesting

[@stephenlmckeown1439]

Nice paint job 👍

[@metalshaperJeep]

thanks for watching. Will post the final paint job tomorrow. Brian

[@kobusdutoitbosman6240]

good job, thank you kindly 🪖

[@stevengill9574]

Thank you for the video, quick question. Do you do any sanding between coats and do you add any clear coats to your jeeps? thanks..s.g.

[@453421abcdefg12345]

An excellent tutorial on spraying, I think the Jeep body is not a very good first project due to the fall out that you can get when spraying the inside surfaces, it requires absolute spot on volume control to avoid this or you end up with the floor looking like sandpaper, I see you also use a top feed gun, I always get a lot of stick for using my Devilbliss top feed, but I find it gives much better access in confined spaces, many thanks for all this "inside" information Brian, I hope people watch and take note, also of your 3/4" steel tube feeder pipes ,they make a huge difference to air quality. Chris B.

[@metalshaperJeep]

Right again Chris. A body tub is a tricky first project and I have seen many that were a disaster. Trying to give some tips for first time painters so they get their basics under control. Air quality, volume, paint control, muscle memory for spraying a long time, etc.... all play into a good or bad paint job. Should have the body and all parts finished tomorrow and will post another video. Brian

[@DoubleRRestorations]

Some great info. Thanks

[@metalshaperJeep]

Thanks for watching, more paint videos coming soon.

[@louisnemick317]

Thanks for the tips.

[@metalshaperJeep]

These basic tips, if followed, will enhance every paint job you do.

[@wartruk44]

Great mechanic, wish you could have more ww2 jeeps!

[@metalshaperJeep]

I will be back on my ww2 GTB burma jeep soon I hope and will show some videos of it coming together. Brian

[@rokhedjo]

Once again , another timely and useful video. I am preparing to start the body work on mine. What do you use for sealer ?

[@metalshaperJeep]

I use SPI Epoxy. When spraying as a sealer I thin it with reducer anywhere from 5% to 50% and then spray one wet coat. Make sure you are ready for sealer before you spray it. All filler work done, and all coats of primer are laid down and block sanded perfectly. The way things look when the sealer goes down is how your finished body will look.

[@keithparady2594]

Very nice

[@metalshaperJeep]

appreciate you watching.

[@kennethsmith1744]

I have a 1978 Cj5 the floor is gone all the way under seats and the side panels are rotted apart from the floor I really want to save it do I fix the sides panels first then fix the floors. Also body mounts are pretty rotted too.

[@brianhackford2324]

How did you flip the Jeep body?

[@johnc.4871]

Is that the High Pressure Low Volume spray gun?

[@metalshaperJeep]

HVLP. High volume low pressure.

[@frankinjeep1194]

What are your thoughts on Binks spray guns with a pressure pot?

[@metalshaperJeep]

I had a binks with pressure pot for spraying heavy industrial paints. Sprayed the heavy stuff great but even with smaller tip sizes it didn't atomize the automotive paints as well as I would have liked. Sold it and put the money towards the Iwata spray guns. They are my favorite and once you use one you won't go back to any cheap gun again.

[@frankinjeep1194]

metalshaper thanks for the info I work with industrial paints and coatings and I'm trying to learn automotive. Your videos have been a great help! Thanks for sharing your weath of knowledge with us lesser mortals

[@metalshaperJeep]

The binks 95 with pressure pot sprays industrial paints perfectly and if you are in that field it is a great unit. For automotive painting you don't want to be dragging a pressure pot around. Your spray gun and hose control are important. Get the best spray gun you can for automotive paint work and it will pay for itself on the first job. I may try to show the difference between a $50 gun versus a $500 gun and how they spray. If the camera can pick up the difference I will post it. Atomizing the paint is key for a good paint job. Brian

[@ericbuist8218]

metalshaper I would love to see the spray difference between a cheap gun and expensive gun, if possible. I've always wondered about that and I don't have much first-hand experience with painting, though I'm hoping to change that eventually.

[@TheCramunhao666]

muito bom.

[@metalshaperJeep]

thanks for watching.

[@randyhughes5160]

Nice but I would rather see you actually paint

[@metalshaperJeep]

Figuring out how to do it without damaging the camera. Once I get things dialed in I will show the actual paint getting laid down.
