Hey Mark. Happy Boxing Day. Great job on Little-By-Little. 👍👍 I'm looking forward to seeing more work on The Porkchop Express 🚛. ❤❤❤. Keep up the Super-awesome work and see you in 2025!

[@LarsLilleby]

The channel that keeps giving and giving. Hat's of to you again Mark for the work with the paint, and all the love from me to all the other channelmembers who are watching! Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

[@Mouthy_Trucker]

wellll, i'm sure he's making a few dollars between youtube and patreon ... he must've made some to justify that big shop and to buy all these projects. so idk if "giving" is the proper description, but he's definitely very hard working and dedicated and consistent

[@WyattRubberDuck06]

That ole California license plate ya got is the plate off the Porkchop Express 😉

[@TwinStix]

Yeah can’t believe I didn’t know that 🤦‍♂️

[@jerredwayne8401]

I worked at a paint and body shop right out of high school with an actual paint booth, and I still cut and buffed every vehicle. I think you did a great job on your paint, and as far as ever knew in my time at the body shop cut and buff was just part of having a quality finished product

[@MikeInBendOregon]

It all depends on how good the painter is... A really good painter can lay material down like glass. Cutting and buffing is primarily a way to fix mistakes. Anyone can spray paint, but there aren't a lot of people that paint correctly... Before Mark started spraying material, I made a couple suggestions that would have all but eliminated all of the orange peel, thus eliminating the need to sand and buff the entire truck, but they weren't followed. But in his defense, at the time, everyone and their brother was posting suggestions so I can see where it probably got a little overwhelming.

[@anthonylarocco161]

I know your a bit of a perfectionist, and that's justified, but really look a the reflection in the door on how deep you can see into your shop. Pretty sure i can see into the future with that reflection. GREAT JOB SIR!!!

[@Mouthy_Trucker]

cameras hide a lot... i've seen stuff IRL that i thought looked great on youtube only to be very disappointed

[@bostarbird5282]

You have some most generous followers. The artwork Bert/Transam and the neon sign are beautiful. The drawing the young man did is very special as well. Wish I had the talent some of your viewers have is amazing.

[@722garage9]

Warm greetings to Mark, your family and the TS followers from Köln, Germany. Merry Christmas and a LBL NY

[@kartonwaffle4408]

This week has been awesome. Got a Christmas special from Peg and a new installment of the Little by Little on ol TwinSticks. Been a good week out on the open road. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Mark! Keep up the good work!

[@ryanpoulin5144]

Hey Mark. Great work on Little-by-little. 👍 Can't wait to see more videos with The Big Trouble in Little China FLC.❤❤❤ Keep up the Super-awesome job and see you in the new year.

[@michaelhertwig4528]

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Mark. Thanks for the interesting videos. Godspeed for the New Year!

[@ThePoconoPete]

That sign is awesome! 😎😎😎

[@iain3411]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for Twin Sticks. Awesome neon sign.

[@garywdeffenbaugh9829]

Can't wait to see all the chrome installed back on the truck. Life couldn't get any better then that.

[@johnagauci3223]

Hi Mark, i am the guy that was saying your were putting too much clear on,Now i see what your doing. I get it, You my friend ,Have the persistence of a bull.And i say that in a good way, Lov the channel, That truck is going to look sweet,

[@johnellis9147]

Getting a Hayes is a good dream. I don’t think Mrs Twinsticks would appreciate it as much

[@SPEEDY-FABSHACK]

Ol twinsticks made out like a bandit!

[@DavidSnow-s2r]

Mark first off love the channel and all the great work you do to save old trucks. Second that sign is awesome what a great job they did on it. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there.

[@jaysonsears8686]

You keep doin and we will keep watching. I cant wait to see that truck back together! Merry christmas and congrats on having some awesome loyal fans!

[@stephengordon576]

For the second truck ever Mark. You killed it!

[@DennisMurtha-eg7ld]

Always grateful😊happy holidays❤thankyou

[@AbominableJoshie]

As you put years into the ownership of that truck, you'll keep giving it a polish and knocking down a little texture every time. It's just material adding to the longevity of the paint job. Work on it until you're happy and then live with it. The only things you can really do is add material or remove material. If you're done adding material, you've got all the time in the world to remove whatever bothers you. Keep rolling, get it back on the road, and put one in the done column. You can always revisit.

[@Blazyjtransport]

I remember when this channel started lvl has came a long way great work as always mark

[@TboneInthehouse333]

Really dig the color! Definitely reminds me of the Montana and Alberta sky.

[@BAKEMEAT420]

Truck is definitely looking sharp, keep up the good work....

[@MikeInBendOregon]

It's certainly blue... I really like the color. I'm trying to be nice and keep my comments positive for a change 🙂. It's really hard for me not to point out mistakes and explain why they happened. It's just one of my character flaws. I don't do it to beat people up, I like to help people, but it doesn't always come across that way. I commend you for all of the effort you put into your projects, and for learning how to do new things.

[@spearmintderg]

Almost looking like you need to add a small office off the back of the garage there Mark 😂

[@JonSchuler-tz9fb]

How amazing to see that paint come to life. Man, im proud of you Mark. What a magnificent show of your hard, hard work

[@tarry-wells]

Merry Christmas to all, beautiful work and color

[@richardgreenlaw1442]

It's going to be exciting to see Little By Little going back together and looking sharp.

[@OutlawH2]

LBL looks great Mark! Looks like the plate that you were sent seems to be the correct one for Pork Chop. Hopefully i can try to get to the Lesco show in '25 to be able to see these trucks in person!

[@mikedowland9949]

An amazing transformation Mark, you’ve got a great looking truck there buddy

[@markfoster7271]

You absolutely nailed the colour Mark! Perfect👍

[@Rav_4_Guy]

Amazing gifts off everyone Mark that plate is the pork chop express licence plate Merry Christmas 🎄

[@jasonhaaksma8419]

A piece of glass with a sharp/broken edge works well for runs and sags in paint. Use a little water for lubricant and hold it flat against the panel sliding it over the run and it will only cut away the run.

[@JamesPretty]

just 2 minutes into the video, looks pretty great can't wait to see it after you're finished polishing her up.

[@jd8690]

Looks amazing! Nice job!

[@jamesjournell867]

Congratulations 🎊 👏 & it looks awesome 👌

[@johnweatherford5760]

MERRY CHRISTMAS Mark and Mrs’s Twin Sticks.

[@fredrickfarmer3762]

Oh Mark, she is beautiful! You got to push on to finish now!

[@danielfoster2339]

Nice work on LBL!! Hope you had a great Christmas 🎉🎉

[@RandyFreitas-hx9zc]

Wow! Mark so beUtiful!

[@wadelevan1787]

hey Mark. I wanted to share a tip for you to try. When I was taught how to buff paint, I was told to always keep the surface wet. Water spray bottle. like how you wet it down when you are wet sanding, use that same method when buffing. use that method for primary and final cut. even glaze coat/wax coat it is very effective. even when I put a basic coat of carnauba wax on my cars I always have a chaser bottle of water. it helps keep the polish wet longer. edit: sorry I should've added. primary cut with wool pad Milwaukee polisher secondary cut with medium cut foam pad Milwaukee polisher glaze or wax with a fine cut foam pad DA polisher

[@phazzie]

Merry Christmas, Mark, from Delaware USA! Enjoying your videos!

[@matthewryan3252]

She's a beaut Clark!

[@dawnafflerbach135]

Merry christmas your truck is gonna be a beautiful one

[@russelltrupia4479]

Awsome job Mark, Merry Christmas !!!👍👍

[@rattyrenagade6739]

hey mark being a body man from way back i learned a few new things that may help with all your projects . such as polishing your old dingy stainless steel hood surround i found this trick working on old Harleys. use mothers aluminum polish and a terrycloth pad on a small orbital polisher on low speed . happy polishing /

[@garysprandel1817]

Looks like a nice haul from the mailbox there Mark. Much like water will eventually wear away the hardest rock denim is remarkably abrasive just very very slow. I have a very shiny bare steel pocket knife. It started out as a matte black finish when I got it new back in 2008 but 16 years in the back pocket of my jeans hopping in and out of trucks as well as bouncing along the road the last remaining bits of that matte finish finally wore away from constant butt polishing.

[@johnbuckles3300]

My favorite color.😊

[@stephanmare925]

Hey Mark. Stephan from South Africa. Love the episodes. On the hunt my favourite as we don’t get Peterbilt’s/Kenworth here. Some can overs but very few. Also Kenworth, only a few K100’s (less than 10) here. Hardly ever see them. So thank you!

[@OLDSOULTRUCKIN0313]

Lookin good bud. Been following from day one. Inspired me to do a truck myself. Got me a freightliner fld120. Putting out my first video on it in a couple days. Doing a full resto on it.Starting with redoing the whole interior. Might help you some for when you start on the ol flc you bought. I will be tagging you in some videos for some tricks I figured out on the body work side of things that might really help you. Anyway...Great job on the trucks. Keep it up. Shout out from oklahoma

[@ATF1985]

Merry Christmas

[@jimbogymbo6710]

You have the best fan on KZbin bar none Christmas X2 this year have a happy new year and keep those great videos coming .

[@johnmelling9950]

Mark. As i said weeks ago, get some 3D ACA 510 compound. It will make your life so much easier. Ive used it alone with just a wool pad to take out orange peel on bad paint jobs. I would still go with the 1500/3000 wet sanding first before compounding though to get the best results. My job is detailing for used car dealers and im the one that has to fix the mess that the 'cheap' bodyshops make. I would also leave that paint longer to fully cure otherwise you can get fall back and the sanding marks you thought were gone can re-appear. When using the rotary with wool pad, you should add more tilt so your using the 1/3 outer edge of the pad to buff as thats the area that gives the most cut. . Obviously only do this on flat panels, not edges, and keep the machine moving but slow enough that the pad and compound can do their work. Holding the wool pad flat greatly reduces the cut. Dont be scared of it, that clearcoat is much harder than the single stage paints and you sort of need to show it who is boss. If you put the effort and time in, theres no reason you cant get that paint job so it looks close to 100% perfect.

[@bryanclark2879]

Trucks are all beautiful love the show .

[@erniewood9935]

Hope you had a good Christmas keep the videos coming have a happy new year take care and stay safe

The truck looks brilliant - all the very best for the New Year!

[@antonioferreira8237]

Even a brand new car comes with orange peel on the paint job, you sir, are killing it and doing an awesome job, although being the second time you paint a vehicle. Keep it up and merry Christmas and a happy new year.

[@JamesDavis-to1hn]

Looks amazing!

[@EllisPIInc]

Good morning Mark. 2FAN321 is the license plate for the Pork Chop Express.

[@largesleepermadness6648]

When I do body work, I use an old school drop light that is shielded on one side. Very useful to find the flaws of a paint job and body work.

[@dougwilson9636]

Glad to see the "float coat" worked out great on LBL. You are doing fantastic work and really enjoy your videos, ps Merry Christmas to you and Mrs. Twin Sticks!

[@Ryanboii004]

I am a day late saying this but Merry Christmas! Hope you and the family had a great day! And have a happy new year!

[@bradgoodwin1859]

Yes sir twin sticks you definitely need a Hayes.

[@diamond_industries]

Looks great!

[@earlwidmeyer2654]

Merry Christmas Mark and to Mrs. Twinstick! LBL is looking amazing. Awsome tricks to remove the clearcoat drips! Didn't think it would come out that well! Although you got a lot of cool viewer mail in the past, ever since I sent you the Smokey and Bandit tribute, it seems I had set the bar for viewer's gifts. Not that I was trying to do so! That Neon sign is right up there on the "Coolest Things in the Shop" as you so eloquently coined the fraise when you received Snowman and Bandit!!! LOL Once you get it hung, turn out all the lights but the sign and show us what that looks like!!!! Cheers🍻 Earl 🦖

[@1one3_Racing]

Hahahaha. I know what the 2FAN321 plate and I know how excited you'll be when you find out! I wore out my grandparents VCR with that movie I watched it so many times.

[@donaldoyler2092]

Looking good

[@jasongillingham8830]

Merry Christmas!

[@johnmyers9473]

You can break part of a paint stick and wrap some sandpaper around it instead of the big block

[@tdwz1652]

Merry Christmas Mark, lbl is looking outstanding. man that neon sign is badass

[@hectorfeliciano5302]

Hi Mark, nice job Marry Christmas, were is Snowman I dont see outside.🎉🎉🎉🇵🇷

[@Southalabamaoutdoors]

Mark you don't have to use the polisher with the Milwaukee rotary..the denim works but there's 3 different grits of denim. ( Fine coarse, medium.. Simply wet sand with 1000 1500 or 2000 grit on a flat surface. Which ever combination it takes the least effort to satisfy you. Then use the DA to polish it. Around 2000 rpm..If it doesn't look how you want use 3000 grit You want to go slow really slow in a criss cross ( take a 2' square section go up and down then go left to right. Wipe down. Should be polished enough .you don't need to do rotary and da...da is less risky and allows you to not burn through...watch videos of how auto detailing guys use their DA buffer...

[@jonathanmerica5015]

You'll need to do a BJ and the Bear cab over next after porkchop. Great videos

[@lightning7176TWP]

I agree with you 1000%a BJ and the bear K100 Aerodyne would be the best truck left to do all my God and be awesome.I agree with you one hundred percent

[@familytraditiontransportat7951]

Hey Mark, you really need to do 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000... That's a big jump to go from 800 to 3000 - it's going to take a very very long time to get all those scratches out. Also suggest getting a rubber 3M squeegee block for any wet sanding (primer or color sanding). You can wipe away the mess without leaving any marks (ha!) then it'll flash dry in a few seconds and allow you see how much more needs to be sanded. Kevin Tetz (paintucation) has some great info on his channel that also might help you. Love the color!

[@TwinStix]

I’m planning on doing 800, 1500, 2000, 3000 then wool cut then foam polish 👍
