DIY Roll-On System gets Great Results in Home Garage!

Now using this on my 1959 Apache, 3100. Thanks SO much for doing a walk through. I’m a visual and tactile learner. So to see it, and someone physical do it, just imprinted in to my tiny brain! Thanks for the information and tutorial! Great job!!!

Because it's all about the universal 80/20 Rule. In this case he is doing 80% prep and 20% painting.

[@danielnarvaez6674]

I take it though that as long as prep is top notch that this actually works. I take it that someone starting out this is a good start if unable to get all the more efficient tools like spray gun, compressor, etc. Yes?

My grandfather always popped off his rollers and paintbrushes put them in a bag and put them in the freezer so he could use them again. (Plastic bags). Ever tried that? Good video.😂

[@reborn74nova]

I have rolled on single stage urethane once. After a cut and buff, it came out flawless. The advantage to roll on is that more material is placed on panel so cutting and buffing is definitely an option for a smooth finish.

[@mackhomie6]

rolling the way he did puts on waaay less material than a spray

[@Hustler_state]

Yea, its possible to get a decent mil on via rolling. But far rather spray it. Buutt, you know as well as i, there are probably quite a few people out their who are intimidated by spraying and the prep, or dont have compressors or guns. Most dont realize just how simple it can be with a relatively short time of practice. People dont know what they dont know. Its odd to me but happens in every line of trades

[@motov8-garage832]

Thanks for the video's man! This gave me a great idea of how I want to prep and prime my 79 transam. I've learned more watching your videos all day then I learned watching weeks of other videos👍

[@iamarillo2]

Eastwood should change their promo and use this video. Excellent job!

[@DubWerks]

This is fantastic. In a shop setting a paint gun is going to be the way, but for the home hobbyist, this is going to be a new level. 2K products that don't require a gun and compressor is going to be a game changer.

[@bobwatfprd2328]

No way....talk about too much work....too much time....and way too complicated. Too many steps...too many products...short pot life...crazy long cure times. And likely too expensive. Get some 2k spray bombs and call it a day.

[@DubWerks]

@@bobwatfprd2328 Everyone is entitled to their opinion but let me say this as someone who works autobody and is restoring cars. This require the same, possibly less steps then normal primer. You still have to mix regular primer and you still have to wait between coats, and with regular primer you'd be bagging the whole car so it wouldn't get covered. A spray on epoxy is still going to require multiple days before sanding, and you'd still want to put urethane on top of it. Then, you'd still want to block the urethane and possibly put more coats on. What I see in this product is something for someone who doesn't have a 30+ gallon compressor or a spray gun. Yes you can get a Harbor Freight gun, but then you need to account for lacquer thinner gallons and cleaning brushes and such. This is aimed at someone who doesn't have a garage to spray paint in or the skill/ ability to mask an entire car and spray down primer, but that's just my opinion.

[@ConceptXX]

@@bobwatfprd2328 "get some 2k spray bombs". Huh? Are you for or against rolling? You're making it out like 2k pressure packs arent crazy expensive

I know that this comment was 3 years old but I used this method today it was quick and worked ok even though I have the correct body tools somewhere in my garage but didn't want to spend the time looking for them.🤷‍♂

Been spending days watching your awesome paint tutorials. Trying to learn as much as possible. Your videos are inspirational and helpful. I've concluded that DIY is more costly and time consuming than having MAACO paint my beater MR2. Now MAACO is not gonna get my car perfect, but it'll save me time and money over DIY. However, I can appreciate the satisfaction and accomplishment from a DIY paint project - but it's just too costly and as a noob I know I will make many mistakes along the way.

Question about the roof section. Why not just sanding the roof, paint it with colour match base coat and finish it with 2k clear coat?

[@asusreviews]

Makes me wonder if total roll on two stage is possible. If you did clear thick enough you could cut and buff. But it might look funky if the base coat has a bit of texture to it. Not sure how it would look, I suppose the clear would mostly level it out. Might have more depth to it.

[@PaintSociety]

Maybe I’ll give it a try

You can roll acrylic enamel (industrial scratch-proof paint). Thin it out with mineral spirits, don't even need clear coat. It's a strong, decent finish. Like glass. Wet sand for best results.

@@roadstar499 Yeah, most shadetree guys call this the "50 dollar paint job" or the "rustoleum 50 dollar paint job." It's not rattle can paint. It's just rustoleum acrylic enamel, comes in a paint can. I've tried it on a bug and a civic with excellent results. Painted outside, had to wet sand a lot to remove bugs and dirt but the finish was very strong, probably a lot heavier than regular paint (so not good for race vehicles)

seems like a good option if you lack spray equipment and you have someone willing to shoot over your body work. Save on tons of "prep guy" labor cost. But if you have spray equipment it would be outright nuts to use this roller process. Talk about extra sanding!

Try a spring-loaded punch for high spots. CHEAP at places like Harbor Freight, and it’s Just the right amount of (force) for most high spots. The added benefit is it ‘punches’ a SMALL area, so it can be used on highs of various size. Ymmv ... Love the Channel !

[@Spencerbuildsit]

Enjoying learning from your channel and experience. Researching, as the rockers on my F 150 are crumbing and I want to attempt the replacement. As epoxys cure, not dry, and the cure rates are heat sensitive, I suggest heating the epoxy with infrared lamps to accelerate the cure. This. and autoclaving are standard composites construction practice in the boat and aerospace industry. Perhaps as simple as applying the epoxy or fillers and go park it in the sun. What would Eastwood say?

[@juangutierrez2132]

hello there, I'm working on a 1970 Monte Carlo, sanded down to the metal. I'm using this roll on system and noticed that a few panels after 4 days of drying have a more glossy finish then the rest of the car. Any thoughts of why that happened? thank you for your time. I really enjoy your videos by the way.

[@mycarprobs6688]

If you were to try this at home in a garage , You would probably mix the primer a little thicker, The mixing ratio the guy in the video uses is the ratio you would use for spraying. You can see it is a little too thin . Remember the more you put on the less will come off when you are sanding. You can use something called Rocket or accelerator in the primer to help with drying. This is dependant on climate temperature of course. I would also recommend using a dry powder guide coat. As the aerosol guide coat tends to clog up the sandpaper more. Meaning more or less life from the sandpaper, depending which method you use.

[@PaintSociety]

All paint should be mixed according to paint manufactured technical data sheets. Inaccurate mixing can result in the improper balance between primer and activator/catalyst causing peeling, chipping or delamination

[@mycarprobs6688]

@@PaintSociety You are 100% correct, But you can make it still a little thicker by adding more primer and more hardener. I definitely would not use less than manufacturers specs. Got 20 plus years of experience, i would not give anyone bad or wrong advice. I do it all the time especially when spray priming on the body filler repairs, i always use a bit less thinners, works better for filling those deep scratches.

[@jeremyking5684]

@@mycarprobs6688 he didn't use any reducer in the primer, so mixing more primer and hardner want make it thicker just more volume of primer!

[@mychannel5311]

@@jeremyking5684 I never said that he did use any reducer in the primer. Adding more primer will make it thicker and give more primer. I would recommend actually using a primer with a 4:1 mixing ratio as the primer would be much thicker to start with, and would be great for primer on body filler repairs .As i previously mentioned, the thicker the better. I also think a 1:1 mixing ratio is a little too thin to start with, as you can see in the video. It's probably more suited to spraying. Remember the more you put on the less comes off during sanding process. That is why i say the thicker the better.

No overspray. That means more material on the car. You also conserve solvents by not having to clean the gun. Less wear and tear on your compressor. Now I have to try rolling on the other brands of primers.
