🔹//Description//
This video follows the Perkins Crew as they work to repair and repaint a Toyota truck that is in rough shape.
The video begins with the group assessing the condition of the truck. The hood and roof are in poor shape, with faded and chipped paint. The friends decide to sand down the problem areas and apply a fresh coat of paint.
The first step is to use a sanding block with 120 grit sandpaper to smooth out the rough spots on the hood and roof. Erik comments on how expensive the materials needed for this job can be, especially the primer and paint.
After sanding, the group applies a self-etching primer to the bare metal spots to prevent rust. They then use a flexible sanding block to continue smoothing the surface in preparation for the new paint.
The friends encounter a few challenges, like filling in small holes and dents with a body filler called Bondo. This requires multiple applications and rounds of sanding to get a smooth finish. They discuss the time-consuming nature of properly repairing a vehicle's body.
Once the prep work is done, the group moves on to applying the new paint. They mix the paint with a high percentage of reducer to thin it out, then carefully spray it onto the truck in multiple thin, even coats. The friends comment on the importance of using the right spray technique to avoid drips or uneven coverage.
After the paint dries, the group moves on to applying the clear coat, which adds a protective glossy finish. This step also requires careful application to ensure an even, smooth result.
With the painting complete, the friends shift their focus to reassembling the truck. They reinstall the hood, fenders, and other components, taking care to align everything properly. They also add new floor mats to complete the look.
Throughout the process, the friends provide commentary and advice based on their experience. They acknowledge that professional auto body shops would likely have done things differently, but they are happy with the end result given the constraints of working in a non-dedicated workspace.
The video concludes with the fully reassembled truck looking significantly better than when they started. The friends admire their handiwork, proud of the transformation they were able to achieve through their collaborative effort. The video serves as a glimpse into the time, skill, and attention to detail required to properly repair and refinish a vehicle's bodywork.

I think a tip I heard before was to keep your shop floor damp when painting, so any dust etc will stick to the ground and not get airborne.

[@tylerbarrett6652]

Boy am I glad to see another upload from one of the Perkins Crew - seriously been worried about you guys with all the damage from Helene that I've been seeing. I can only imagine what you must be dealing with... and it's nice to know that you are up and at 'em. Might not be a bad idea to put a body shop together, actually - something to do indoors when the weather keeps you from working on the site.

[@tylerbarrett6652]

Oh c'mon, fellas - you don't have a separate building for body work or paint? You guys ARE builders, right? Seems like a challenge rather than an obstacle. - but I bet you have ENOUGH to do at the moment.

[@tbillington]

Great video Jay. Good to see the crew up to something entirely different.

[@brendonwatson8770]

I would love to work for the Perkins brothers. Ive been Framing for over 5 years now. I know Jamie would be the kind of guy that would take the time to explain and teach you a lot of things. You would learn so much stuff from him on a job site

[@bobbywweaver]

Hope you guys are all safe from the storm. I liked the part where Ray cos-played as a UPS guy...

[@milesharlan1]

Thanks, Jay..Nice change of pace for the PBB crew. I even learned a bit about auto painting, too.. KUTGW

[@jfitzsimmons4825]

This is your NANA yelling at you --- WEAR MASKS WITH THAT SANDING AUTO PAINT AND APPLYING IT. YA'LL GONNA GET SICK!

[@bird9455]

They already have lung cancer from breathing concrete dust. A little bit of dust from sanding isn't going to hurt

[@randyjudy5895]

Hope you all are safe! Prayers and good vibes for your community

[@wendyheadley3345]

I love how you guys all hang out together

[@garymcdonnell]

Well done - looks great! As the happy original owner of a 2011 Tacoma 4 door TRD Sport with 163,000 miles on it I can tell you that if you take care of these that they will last forever. Mine still burns less than half a quart of oil every 5000 miles. And the transmission still shifts smoothly with no slip. Of course, the paint on it looks about like yours did. I've been so pleased with my Tacoma that I bought a 2024 4Runner Limited with the same (slightly updated) drivetrain (I'm keeping the Tacoma). I'm going to treat it right and given that I'm 65 it will probably be the last vehicle I buy.

[@rossmccullough2370]

Use the palm of your hand instead of your fingers to feel high spots. Try using a tack cloth to get the dust in between coats. You'll be amazed at how much dust you get off. When you use body filler try sanding it while it's still slightly tacky otherwise it's like trying to sand concrete. Spray the hard to reach areas first so you don't have to lean over wet paint or drag a hose through it. We hope you guys are okay best regards from Clearwater Florida!

[@HingleMcCringle35]

Been thinking about painting my old truck recently, glad to see some tips from these guys

[@Joseph-ny5rr]

Glad you and the family are safe and well! Was worried about yal !!

[@mikeking7470]

That final filler is called "green stuff", spot putty, etc. Comes in a tube. And the green helps you see it. My neighbor was body guy.

[@MonsoonEast]

Nice ad. If you’ve got to have one, yours at least gave me a chuckle.

[@jameskett5241]

Chip Foose? Just one of the absolute most famous custom car guys on the planet, ladies. lol His father too.

[@Chillituber]

Should get mud flaps too. Prevents some rock chips...

[@mavrosyvannah]

I let the shitty commercial run so you can get a fraction of a cent for the cause.😂 love the vid, thanks. Stay dry.

[@Kralphrn]

Shit, Jamie can do anything!!

[@randybourdon2791]

Awsome paint job guys!

[@sugar123spice1]

I hope y'all are ok. Now a pro-tip. If you ever paint another hood. If you drill a small hole in the hood hinge and the hood. When you go to reinstall the hood. Just put your drill bit back in the two holes, install your hood bolts. It should be aligned as it was before you removed it. Excellent job on the paint and body work.

[@marccasado4125]

You guys are really talented.

[@NGUNOW]

Perfect job!

[@jlawlar]

looks great, wet sand and polish that 3rd brake light, you'll make it look new

[@contento66]

Jay you gotta get Jamie one of those cool hexagonal shop lights like you have

[@AmericaMF]

Love the little change up in the videos. Done to much body work in my time but got to love the outcome. How’s everyone doing after the hurricane were y’all effected

[@punkinsal]

Great job!

[@garrettrcrane]

Hope y'all are safe out there!

[@firemanj35]

Chip Foose would sand between coats. 😊 ❤

[@georger9998]

You guys do everything!

[@GingerBreadJuJu]

looks great! 🔥

[@katihack6212]

I saw the Perkuns update. Has anyone checked on Arlo? Glad you all are safe

[@richardasmith6235]

Where did you see the Perkins update? I’d like to see it to.

[@daveshively3295]

Are you guys ok out there?

[@Callofdootie]

Perkins brothers posted not long ago. All ok by the sounds of it.

[@zachwilson1790]

Hey j, u guys ok there I know it's bad out ur way

[@daveshively3295]

@@Callofdootie Thanks man.

[@dustynbeasley6261]

Love the video man super entertaining and the editing and audio is on point 🤙🏼

[@ethantobin6]

Just a little sunburnt 😂

[@PedroMendoza-gf4jy]

Jamie just talking in the background lol

[@scottm2828]

Sharp looking truck

[@kdenney66]

Been sending up thoughts and prayers for your entire area. Stay safe!

[@brandonstevens36]

Guess I'll watch just about anything y'all put out

[@darrylkelley3236]

I have sanding sticks that go to 12,000 grit and paste that goes to 250,000 grit for jewelry .

[@robertt8273]

Better option than paint, cheaper too, I bet you could wrap that whole truck for less that $500 and you don't have to sand all the paint off except for that dent. So hardly any dust, it is not an all or nothing. You do a section today, a section in 2 days and a section next week. When done it would look great. I did not Yukon XL and is 20 years old but looks like I drove off the showroom.

[@billinhouston3291]

Gotta love a Tacoma.

[@sik6hundred]

You guys should definitely plastic off the walls. Overspray gets everywhere.

[@brianlowes1933]

Great job guys but I think Masks Masks & Masks

[@Eddy_HVAC]

Perkins chopshop over there 😂😂😂

[@davidfrancis5687]

CHIP FOOSE!!

[@anthonysmith-ll3iw]

I actually use up to 10k grit when I restore headlights

[@NASTYcraftX]

They said all the guys were doing good after the hurricane in a PBB video comment last week.

[@brendonwatson8770]

Is there anything you guys are not good at? You guys did amazing job on the paint job

[@Keith_KC8TCQ]

been there done that. My family used to own a business customizing cars. Honestly, after we sold the business that was why a family friend wanted to hire me to join his drywall/plastering business because I was good at autobody work and he figured that the skills would largly translate (bondo, fiberglass and body filler application and sanding) and thus began my many years in drywall/plastering

[@jt5747]

Raptor Liner

[@FredD63]

I hope all is well near all of you guys and Jason You should have your man card taken away. If you don’t know who Chip Foose is … he does a lot of custom car work and Jamie you can fog flat black paint over your bodywork to show any imperfections…. Stay Safe 🇺🇸👊🏼👊🏼✌🏼

[@bakednoodle2732]

Hey, are all you guys ok in WNC? Hoping your area didn't get much of that flooding.

[@artflorez1568]

OMG, how have they not heard of Chip Foose.

[@JujoeM]

new career to fallback on haha

[@abbcc555]

maaaassks, that's not good stuff to breath in

[@Fromthedronetothescreen]

yeah it killed a friend of mine

[@dawnc1419]

Please can you give us an update on how you guys are doing over there 🙏

[@texasproud3332]

Chip foose world class car builder riddler trophy winner 4 times

[@eduardomontes1276]

Pimp my ride???🤣🤣

[@lylewaters6161]

Is there anything that Jamie can’t do? Man I wish I could work with you guys. I hope you’re all doing well.

[@Fromthedronetothescreen]

cant believe youre sanding and spraying your truck with no mask - that stuff killed a friend of mine with nose and throat cancer

[@philomenahearn1717]

Yes and the risk of stomach cancer…. They say drink a glass of milk to line your stomach before you work in carcinogenic dust

[@mikeisley4445]

Wet sand last time

[@rickteeden8656]

Change the oil every 5k miles and that taco will run forever. Glad to hear you and your families are okay!

[@kelly-e7f4n]

good time for wax on wax off !!!

[@LilYeshua]

No color match floor mats?

[@steveramirez1654]

👍👍

[@gr82banautiger24]

I got hit and run last week. Fortunately no real dents, just a ton of paint scrapes, but I don't think I'm up to trying this. Of course, the cost to repair it is only a few hundred over the deductible so I'm basically out for the repair :(

[@chrisruffino5168]

Who was the fifth guy? Is he the lighting guy in your camera crew?

[@AnthonyFreeman-p7k]

Flux capacitor! lol

[@Tuurs]

it looks great hahahahaha

[@beardednategaming7188]

I'm not an american and I know who chip foose is, his car designs are very good, and overhauling was interesting but reminded me of pimp my ride just not as outrageous as pimp my ride

[@derektowery8884]

Take that roof gutter gasket off and hide your paint seam under!

[@martinhedley-smith79]

Is there anything you guys cannot do? 😊

[@DarrellCatt]

180..prime..400 to finish..metallics go 600.....higher grits are for polishing...

[@cloudx7897]

guys, 2K paint is extremely dangerous, should wear mask

[@paulsloan3494]

Is there anything Jamie can't do

[@kylethurgate4924]

Passenger reverse light is out

[@tapmeg]

Up to 5000 grit that I know of

Who's the young guy with the longer hair?

[@Kralphrn]

Who is Whitford?

[@richardasmith6235]

Does anyone know how the Perkins builder brothers fared during this last big storm that hurricane Camille are you guys Eric and Jamie and Ray and Jay and John or they all OK

[@gregsidel3557]

If you were to hang some plastic in the garage and then wet the floor you would have less trash in the paint

[@deledwardl]

Who's the new guy with long hair?

[@FredMcIntyre]

😃👍🏼👊🏼

[@djchancla2451]

Reds and grays are the worst colors for oxidation

[@randallellis138]

Please be safe men read the warnings

[@ninjajeepsta]

I’m cringing watching Jamie spray the clear without a paint suit on. Please put a suit on the next time.

[@fatcat-hc4pj]

I'll paint any car for 29.99

[@michaelstevenson1053]

Way to go on the ppe…👎

[@TheHavrelandtExperiment]

You guys have ruined the genius that was that truck. If it runs great and has some cosmetic blemishes you got the best of both worlds. You don't have to worry about it breaking down and you don't have to worry about a shopping cart hitting it. Me personally I love a pickup truck it is mechanically sound but has a few scratches and dents. It's peace of mind. It's like that old song lyric, if you want to be happy the rest of your life make a fat girl your wife. Speaking of fat girls, is Ray by any chance related to Popcorn? There's a strong resemblance.I don't know how that's a segue but, I assume all you guys are related to Popcorn over there.

[@Rule1336]

Just my OPINION. I couldn't work with Jamie. Dude can't just work. He gotta grossly over explain every little detail of what he's doing. How bout one vid where Jamie just shut up and works?

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Like my mot her always said…. if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all!

[@djchancla2451]

The only bad thing about it is that it’s foreign

[@rickteeden8656]

Almost every dam car is built in Mexico now, so there all foreign ☹️
