Painting the Chassis! Rustoleum Primer, Magic Tractor Paint - SICKXTY - Volksrod - Baja Build 36

[@VWRICH23]

THE PAINT AROUND THE NOSE IS CLASSIC LOL.. AWESOME JOB, THE CHASSIS LOOKS GREAT !!!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir. I didn’t realize about my nose till after recording lol

[@flat4ification]

As always thank you for allowing us to watch what you're doing. I think it looks very nice. I appreciate your humility in saying it's not going to be a show car and that you aren't a painter by any stretch. Those are the things you say but it isn't what I see. I see quite the opposite. Thanks for the motivation VWJ. Take it easy until next time.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you for those kind words but I did speak the truth. I’m not a painter, haven’t painted anything in almost 20 years…. This won’t be a show car, just making certain things as nice as I can with what little resources I have. Overall it’ll be good enough for what I want and my end goals.

[@flat4ification]

@@VWJawbreaker I hear ya! I'm just messing with you. It does look nice though.

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@flat4ification haha, thank you sir 🙏😎

[@flat4ification]

@@VWJawbreaker The fact of the matter is that our opinions (especially mine) do not matter in the slightest. It's your car. Like Sinatra sang we can can sing in the end, "I did it my way". Take much ease VWJ in knowing I'm totally neutral and totally open to learning how other people do things. I get motivation, inspiration, ideas and creativity from multiple sources with you being one of them. My project has a lot of you in it. I was watching this channel long before I was ever brave enough to leave a comment. One day, when I am able to take it to shows I will be able to give credit to all those that helped even if it was only virtual. Thank you again and I'll see you in the next one.

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@flat4ification that’s the beautiful thing about VW’s…. It’s easy to put your personal spin on your build and people usually like it and appreciate it… even if it’s not your style or something you would personally do to yours. I’ve always said if you build it the way you want, it’s running and driving, who cares what you did as long as you enjoy it and it’s on the road and not rotting away somewhere. We all motivate each other in one way or another. I’m glad you decided to comment and have conversations with me, it helps more than you know.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Haha, thank you sir!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Good seam sealer, I also use tar as VW originally did, but first work some paint in the cracks.

[@VWJawbreaker]

I remembered you used that on your one video…. I seriously thought about it!

[@DuckmanCycles]

@@VWJawbreaker Its messier unless you use a caulk tube, but it doesnt flow well unless it's hot lol

[@jamesquintana9137]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't sand the primered coat before applying the finishing paint on my restos! Great job Gary!

[@VWJawbreaker]

I did some test pieces this way and didn’t have any issues. I’ve read both ways work, but I’m no painter lol

[@SladesVWBeetle]

The end result is nice! So worth taking the extra steps to keep it preserved.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Yes sir, may not be the best product but it’s what I could do and it’s way better than it was.

Looks great Gary! Thanks for the video and your time.

Thank you sir! And thank you for always being here and your support

[@oversplodegarage41]

Wow just wow! Making me wish I would have stripped my 71 SuperBeetle down to the frame. Great job painting also. Keep getting after it!

[@carmad9220]

looks good to me Gary, you are doing a great job, especially the fact you are doing this on your own

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks. That’s the biggest thing for me is doing as much as I can. No one is great at everything and it’s easy to have someone else do the work but how do you learn and grow?

[@johnfreeman1189]

Wow... The paint looks outstanding! Looking forward to the next video.

That chassis has received a lot of love. Great work!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Definitely been a labor of love.

[@ronbunker5778]

looks really good! I'm currently doing my '64 Chevelle, and it too is not a show car, and I am going to use this same stuff on the frame. Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Oh man, I love Chevelle’s! This paint would do great on the frame, just use hardner which I forgot and it’ll be even better than mine turned out.

[@WolfHausMotorwerks]

Looks great !

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks man! It turned out pretty good.

[@sheldonjr7hp]

I wonder 🤔 if I painted with the door open here if it would Freeze dry the paint. Probably not. It’s gonna be 16 degrees a warming trend is happening here in South Dakota. Looks great!!!!!

[@VWJawbreaker]

I doubt it would do that but it might take a month to dry with those temps!

[@2GuysandaBug]

Dude, that looks fantastic. It has come a long way from when you dragged it home. Keep pushing ahead, you got this.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir, it’s definitely come a long way and I’m pushing hard to get the chassis done soon!

[@royworks28]

So I got to tell ya, the chassis is coming out awesome, but I really like how you took kind of a boring job like painting and made it interesting with great editing. Trying to learn more editing skills myself I’ve come to appreciate what people put into there videos. It’s a project in itself

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir. It turned out pretty good and even better on camera lol The video was a lot of work, editing was a task in it’s self. I’m constantly learning and trying to push myself and think outside the box. I’ve always watched other people and wondered how they did it…. Some still amaze me by what they do. It’s another job just editing after you’re done doing the work lol

looking good! you are moving along nicely!

Thank you JC.

[@deanrobinson3717]

That looks awesome, really shiny, decent with a paint gun as well then

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir. It turned out week due to mostly the paint and not me lol

[@Paulman50]

I remember a while back Slade painted a car with rust‐oleum and he said it turned out really good.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Yes sir he sure did. I’ve had great luck with this paint but never sprayed it before… figured I’d give it a shot.

[@livinthelife6056]

Nice ! Im right at the same point. And was considering painting mine. Guess I need to make a trip to Harbor freight 😁

[@VWJawbreaker]

The paint is what helped it turn out nice. I’m sure I had plenty of flaws lol

[@leonardramsey3458]

Confidence booster indeed. That pan looks amazing Gary. I think I remember some of your plans for the body....... Likely Corso says Not so fast my FRIEND 😎 You're going to have to shoot some more of that tractor and implement paint on the body of that Beetle 🐞 Maybe a nice red or bright yellow maybe even Orange. That pan looks so good I bet the body would look just as good or better. I can't wait for the next video. 💪🏼💯❤️🧡💛

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir, huge confidence booster indeed. Even though this turned out nice, I’m still not painting the body. I have other plans that I think will suit my needs better. Appreciate the feedback and thanks for being here.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Stirring that way is much better than shaking, as you probably know! No bubbles getting in the paint! I have my lovely assistant shake another can on camera though... for video effect. 😁👍🏻🦆💩

[@VWJawbreaker]

I always see people use a shaker, I had a stirrer so that’s what I did. Not sure which is better as I’m no where even close to being a painter.

[@DuckmanCycles]

@@VWJawbreaker as long as you don't get any contaminants in it, stirring and as you did was the best way!

[@williamtanner1372]

Beautiful!! Now the body is another paint job to do after this practice. Remember how nice Slades SB turned out. The ghost Garys cleaning the pan was a cool edit. I have the TS paint for my engine compartment and floors. Was going to brush it but now I'm thinking spray. Really great looking pan!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir. You can brush it on also, it kinda levels out of you use the right brush. Honestly you can’t go wrong with it at all. Unfortunately I’m still not painting the body even after how nice this turned out. I have other plans for that 😎

[@zimms-world]

Wow, that turned out amazing. I never thought to use the rusty metal primer prior to painting. That’s a great idea

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir. Just trying to use what I have without spending too much money.

[@jimlester5003]

Gary, you made that look too damn easy. lol Great video my friend and you have given me another push to get things going. I'm waiting on jets for my weber 34 icts. I realized that one carb was running way too lean. Yup i was sent a mixed pair of jets. Anyway, keep on keepin on and be well. Thanks again, Jim

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you sir…. The editing makes things look easier plus you can’t see my mistakes on camera lol Great catch on the mixed jets!! Hope you have a great rest of the week.

Hi, Garry here you accomplish a great preparation on the chassis first with Rustoleum secondly with the seam sealer well done the third factor the paint shows great success and looks very good. Great progress keep up the good work mate 💥👍🏻🍀.question what will you use in the tunnel for rust protection I would advise fluid film is sheep fat. and Il will use it in all the hollow spaces on my VW T3 Single Cab.☮️🇺🇸🇳🇴🙏greetings.Hubertus.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you Hubertus, the chassis definitely looks much better now. I sprayed the inside of the tunnel with ospho, painted what I could and then coated with some thin oil to help detour further rust.

Looks good from New England. 👍

[@VWJawbreaker]

That’s probably the best distance to look at it from! Have a great week buddy.

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

@@VWJawbreaker I painted my floor pans and chassis with a brush, using the same paint. Looks good, but not as shiny like yours.

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle that’s good to know. I haven’t used this paint with a brush yet but the rattle cans are great…. Figured I’d try my luck at sprayed. I’m sure it’s till tough as nails even though you don’t have the shine.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Wonder if that tractor paint is compatible with a hardener, maybe dry faster and harder.

[@VWJawbreaker]

I did a little research but didn’t go too far on using a hardner… figured if the rattle can stuff is great this must be also.

[@here_to_watch2115]

Yes it is, magic catalyst is available it will add a little glossier sheen. I used john Deere blitz black with that catalyst on my 82 k10 frame. Looks great!

What type of air compressor do you use with the paint gun? Pan looks GREAT!!! Thanks for the vids!!!

[@VWJawbreaker]

I have a pieced together compressor with a 60 gallon tank but a much smaller compressor would work just fine 👍

[@tellitallnow3914]

@@VWJawbreaker wow, i was told ya cant use a spray gun with a single stage comoressor. Hmmmm got me realky curious now to loon into this. I would much ratger buy a gallon of the Majic instead of all the cans. I just painted a rear in my chevy avalanche i am having rear geared with the majic. Sray can. Would have liked to shoot it with a spray gun because majic also offers a hardner along with the reducer. Did yiu use the hardner? Tge spray cans come with no hardner in the. But it still holds up great!! Imagine the harder would take it to tbe next level. I have one of those little dual tank carpenter type air conprssors you see them using for doing roofs and all around nailgins. Think that would work with a harbor freight spray gun? How much air pressure do you have your gun set at to shoot the majic enamel? Thanks for replying. And yes i have a 1967 ve beetle. With a 2276. Go to my channel. I think i still gotta ahort walk around of my car. Me and my father reatored that car 30 years ago. Same paint. Acrylic enamal single stage. Lol.

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@tellitallnow3914 best way to see if an air tool would work with a certain compressor is to go by the tools cfm and the compressors cfm rating. I don’t think you’d be able to use that small pancake compressor but I could also be wrong. Most of the time a 30 gallon compressor will do the trick, again depending on the cfm ratings. I did use the hardner and it’s tougher than the can itself. Both are great options. Again I’m not a painter so don’t quote me on the painting “advice”. I’ll have to check out your ride, thanks!

[@DemopVWgarage]

Gary, how many tools are now black in the shed ?😋😁😉 I would have over spray on everything by now😝great job on the chassis 🤜🏾👍🏽

I never realized the VW beetle chassis is that light weight. I'm looking at buying a VW based kitcar at some point as budget build. good to know I can make the chassis look great without giving a pro shop 12k

[@VWJawbreaker]

The chassis without the trans, brakes, front beam, etc is definitely manageable by yourself. You can do the work yourself and there’s tons of different products you can use to get good results.

[@shelbstrocity]

What did you use for a cleaner when you were wiping it down before primer?

[@VWJawbreaker]

I had an abundance of acetone so I used that. You could also use wax and grease remover.

[@randyochoa1757]

I failed to wire brush my pans before primer coating them. Will it affect me in any way?

[@VWJawbreaker]

If the black coating wasn’t originally sprayed properly it may cause your primer to lift. Some people say it all has to be removed but if you scuff the entire pan and the loose stuff comes off you should be good.
