Pontiac gets a little paint on the cheap.

In this video I show how I used Rustoleum or in Canada it's Tremclad to paint the 38 Pontiac for a grand total of 100 dollars Canadian or 70$ US. There's still plenty to do but for now she's one color.

I’ve said it before, props to you for putting some paint on it. The whole leave it in primer thing is so played out. It’s sweet and I agree that some cream or tan accents would be cool.

[@jamesmoore3346]

George W. Morrow lll, you right on about ' leave it in primer' thing. I started doing the body work, sanding and priming on my 98 dodge ram 4 years ago, got kinda burnt out for awhile as the whole time I was working on it I was recovering from beating stage 3 lung cancer, not as quick as I used to be, chemo and radiation beat the hell out of me. About 4-5 months back I had to re-sand and prime, that was a chore. 4 weeks ago I finally put paint on it. Sure looks different, Satin Black, reg cab, short wide side. Now I'm not sure if I want to put all the badging back on or leave it anonymous.

[@rodneyclements6190]

You know that sound at a baseball game when a bat contacts a ball so solid and you KNOW it's going out of the park? That's what I just heard watching this video Brent! Grand slam!!

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks Rodney

[@Zoompipes]

Oh my brother cant get enough of this old car and the body work and paint. Old school love it

[@trickyricky12147]

That's a great paint job👍 The brown goes well with the Pontiac.

[@oldtown6240]

Looks a lot like a 1939 Lincoln Zephyr. I like it, and more so because of all of the time and effort that went into the build. Thanks for taking us along.

[@karltite128]

I so dig the "it is watt it is" attitude. My daily driver for 25yrs (70 Ford Falcon wagon) gets a new coat of Rust-Oleum satin on occasion. Great to the point video! Good day.

[@HalfassKustoms]

haha thanks Karl!

[@jamiewaddell1598]

Looks brilliant in brown.cream striping gorgeous

[@robbiejones4933]

Grew up watching my uncle paint cars like this brings back good memories he would let me clean the garage floor and hold the hose to spray water to keep the dust out

[@davidwood1923]

Wow!... You are going to have a lot of Fun with that Machine.

[@raymondcoggins297]

Beautifully done I've watched it from the start WOW

[@kenworthless5708]

That color really compliments the lines of the car. Cool looking ride. All your hard work paid off.

[@jennifer.juniper4845]

Great colour choice, really coming on, the best looking car on you tube for a long while

[@ricklipp4029]

I would be proud to go cruising in that Poncho!

[@toddhaver1143]

A true hot rod. This is why I stopped going to car shows. This is a true winner. But some Jack wagon. Will run down buy a new car .then run it against your work. This is the real McCoy 💯. Top notch work.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks Todd, haha always happens no worries though.

[@merlemorrison482]

I'm really liking this build - the body style just speaks to me.....

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks dude!

[@jthonn]

Great job! So glad to see someone use paint instead of patina. I know many like patina, to each his own, I hate patina. When you restore something, you go the whole route.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Unless it looks good as is I'm down for the patina thing haha, but I'm not about to put the effort into it to make patina.

[@rapdaddy2642]

Nice job.. I have enjoyed watching your build

[@jayr5331]

Looks great! Awesome work AGAIN.

[@keiththecarguy1967]

You pulled it off.... I never thought the roof would come out as good as it did.... It looks like some the that came from the factory. Very cool!

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks Man!

[@patrickharrand]

Lookin' good. Thanks for sharing your Garage Time once again.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Any time!

[@lanceadams2136]

An inspired colour choice and I'm liking it

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

I wouldn’t have thought brown would look so cool, but it’s the perfect look. Excellent work, Brent! 👍Tony

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks 👍

[@ronaldhagadorn5512]

Man I am glad I got to know thru utube! Your talent is unbelievable! Same way in n.y. need heat in winter!

[@johnhansen4550]

Love the look....your chopped three window conversion to awesome.....

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thank you! 😊

[@snoopu2601]

I do like the color of the car and the black and tan is a great idea to break up the brown gives it the antique look!

[@davidsantos8206]

Back in 1980 - 81 a guy around town had a 1939 Pontiac. It was white with cragar ss mags. Never got to see it up close, but I thought that car was the cat's ass, going down the road. Thanks for the memories. Loved watching your build

[@motorfreaknew]

in my opinion it looks great with this color, very classic and original, not the usual matte black that is now used on many hot rods. Good job!!!!

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks man pretty much what I was going for.

[@TrendsbySterling]

I have to be honest. I am not a fan of brown, however it really looks good on this car with the black rims. I think you nailed it!

[@BadHombreGarage]

Came out looking great! That car has so much cool detail, I like how you're highlighting it.

[@rafatrill]

That thing looks nice! I can picture some black trim and brown leather seats. And some led tear drop brake lights man that thing looks killer!

[@mikeycunningham2307]

She's gorgeous Brent what a beautiful job keep up the awesome work can't wait to see you driving her down the road take care and stay safe and stay see you in the next one

[@68gmc70]

That paint finish looks wicked.With the accents it will really show it's personality.Your vision for the final outcome is clearly groovy.Thanks again for all the great start to finish vids.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks man.

[@Pork_slinger]

Dope! Love it. Agree with you about the tan /cream accents👍👍

[@MadScientistGarage]

As always, a damn fine job on the cheap.

[@michaeljones7241]

Excellent work. Have considered not having running boards. I like it the way it is. Take slightly balled up aluminum foil, dip in water and rub it on rusty chrome. You will be shocked as the rust comes off.

[@colinmaxwell5481]

Mate! Love your work and your style, so laid back and inventive. Thanks for all your hard work you are an inspiration to a guy like me in Australia. Col.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks Colin!

[@davidgreen9663]

Just wanted to tell you how much I like your Pontiac ! Great job on a cool ride !

[@DavidJones-hl5om]

It's coming out great I remember in the seventies everybody had their Nova's and Camaros and 55 chevys painted Root Beer Brown it's looking great when you get all the trim and pin stripping completed it'll be real nice.

[@jeffsnyder2051]

Shes lookin great & sounds killer .Thanks!!!!!!!!!

[@davidlester6092]

Looks like a big Hershey's kiss! Very nice!!!

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks David!

[@hankpugh4980]

Yep needs some cool scroll pinstripe stuff and the wheels too.. Flip the rear bumper just to see what it looks like I think it could be tucked in a bit too but that would mess up the patina on it. I sure admire your skill and vision. The profile at 15:00 is fantastic . Used to paint all my old roundy round cars with Rustoleum. Easy touchup because we rubbed when we were racin!

[@juniornunley5412]

That paint job done the trick, it looks great!! She's coming along very well.

[@IronheadGarage]

Nice job on the chop looks just right and the brown looking sweet nice ride be safe out there

[@streetkd08]

I dig it man! Love the wheels and white walls. Looks good.

[@fonhollohan2908]

yeah flip the back bumper she looks great Brent. She looks great in brown as well. She's coming along just fine! love it.

[@gerrymilidantri6457]

The Paint and Body came out great pretty dam straight. I like the idea with the creme stripes. Great stance

[@abimaelpatino7892]

Hi. I salute you from san Diego California. Congrats ...Look's amazing. And I'm amazed wat you can do. Whit some creative ideas..👏👏👏 mi Dad. Had one a 1940 .very similar to yours his first car in Hi school ... very nice. ✌😎👍.

[@andrewbeal2717]

That looks so good in paint and the boot is massive with the view from above nice work 🥰🤟👍from uk.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks 👍

[@jdaug]

Looks killer, thanks for showing. I'm building a 1937 chev master where I would like to chop (never done one before). Following your build has given me a lot of ideas 👍

[@jimaagenes8445]

Looks great! When I saw it half painted, top on brown, bottom in primer, I thought two tone, but your tan/ light color pint stripe will look great! Thanks for Showing your work!!!

[@ericmcginnis9413]

When you parked it, and aired the bags down it looked awesome!!! Sweet car bud! I'm blown away with your talents and abilities! What an awesome ride!

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks Eric!

[@murrayandru7527]

Home Run ! SkooKum, well done !

[@awesumenergy]

F N L that is Looking sweeeet! A couple of hilights and you've got 'er!! Too late for entry into the IQCS but definitely would have got some votes! Thanks for all that you do and keeping us posted.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks Dude!

[@michaelyeaple8468]

Beautifully done 👍 brother

[@firstgenerationgarage2803]

What a beautiful car I've been watching your videos for a while now great work and especially it's a Pontiac love Pontiac keep it up and the brown goes perfect with the car

[@martinmayhem7122]

Now that sure turned out fresh didn't it! I knew it would look good brown - great job again! I agree with you, some little striping details will set it right off. She's got the look, the color and the sound! Like I've been saying, I sure love this build! Take care Brent.

[@grahamvernon5030]

DD speed Shop put me on your channel, great viewing and great cars. Thanks from UK🇬🇧

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks for stopping by Graham!

[@dannmohr5721]

WOW!!!!!Awesome car you always amaze me on your builds a joy to watch.👍😎

[@Legacy4x4andOffRoadYT]

such an iconic body line... cheap paint is better than nothing! looks great!

[@OlysGarage]

Perfectly imperfect. That's the best way to put it. Tan accents on the black lines will definitely top it off. Down the road I'd love to see that grille rechromed. Maybe an attempt at this painted on chrome I keep hearing about? Dunno. Looks good brown, black may... possibly... be a bit much considering its size, detract from the car itself. I like it Brent, turned out great!

[@russellzacharias3535]

Cream pin stripes (lots of work but if you paint those grill bars black, a cream pin stripe on each one, reducing in length each bar) I could see running boards and headlight buckets in black. Man, that is a lot of surface to paint. Now that majority of it is painted, you know it will warm up.

[@TheHorsebox2]

That car is uber-cool. Fantastic achievement.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks Sean!

[@nikolasb2933]

MISSION BROWN is makin a come back NICE!

[@xozindustries7451]

That color really brought the car all together, good job

[@jamesmoore3346]

Beautiful! I'd drive it every day, gotta love a fat fendered ride.....

[@billdysert7109]

that color really snaps with the body looks awesome nice work what a change the car has gone though ..

[@TheCrackerBox]

Looks great man!! I love the Brown I can't wait to see it with the black grill . awesome job !! love the videos keep them coming

[@TOGunslinger]

I didn't say so before, but I am a Poncho freak, and your old 38 is bad to the bone...that car says more to me than many I have seen that cost much, much more. Killer job pardner, keep it up....your admirer TO Gunslinger.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks dude!

[@reuben1974]

Awesome looks great 👍👍👍👍👍

[@houseonpleasantstreet9774]

Love the paint. Nice to see something look so good out of a can of tremclad. Acrilic enamel. All you need. Chip Foose would want to slit his wrists... Oh well. You car are as nice as his !!!!!! Even better because a regular guy could drive it and enjoy it..

[@tomholz9928]

Love the color! Pablo looked stoked! Your work is incredible!

[@kennethmccormack1925]

looking good . great progress

[@williamoliver8883]

What, 4 months into it and almost complete! All that work would have taken me a few years . Love the channel Brent.... inspiring

[@HalfassKustoms]

haha thanks William, yeah been slacking the car should have been done a long time ago lol

[@ls6-ss413]

Car looks awesome. Sounds nice and ballsy too🙂👊

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks man!

[@eliaslugo9290]

Awesome work on that car congratulations ✨👏✨👏✨👏

[@snoopu2601]

Mon that 1938 Pontiac is Killer! That car should wine some prizes at the show for what you spent on the car to make it cool most guy's spend tons of money on there ride you spent time on yours hahaha 👍🏽

[@keithharden7844]

I enjoy these videos so much I actually let the commercials play, so the content keeps coming. I just hope he gets a lot more money with those hour long commercials.

[@pjay4972]

now that`s a low down gangster ride.can`t wait to see it all done.love it.thank`s for the great video`s

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks Phil

[@geoffpeterb7553]

Sounds tough, looks tough, well done from downunder

[@fastback1245]

I like your color combo I've been a hot-rodder for a few years and I've never seen that color on a ride before looks great

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks man.

[@Walter-ri1li]

Looks great at the moment Brent. Can't wait to see the finish product, I can only just imagine the turn out mate. It's gonna be a Picture to Post I reckon.

[@bowe666]

Sweet chocolate! Love it👍🏻 Thought I was the only one who painted cars with Tremclad. Hahaha. Like the cream pinstripes idea too. Some orange with the cream wouldn’t be bad either.

[@JoeSmith-er9bq]

Looks awesome I agree with your ideas

[@wayneguess7946]

Wasn't sure I was gonna like the brown, it looks great! The more cream striping you can get on it, the better! See what you mean about the bumper, definitely can't flip the front! I think breaking up the grill will really bring the front out! Keep up the great work!

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks Wayne.

[@adman6380]

From how it was originally to now is amazing, great stuff brent

[@homespuntools2115]

Forrest was right ,"life is like a box of chocolates ! " Sure looks great Brent figured you would have been painting buy now .Super happy the way it turned out.Such a nice choice of paint brand with such a large pallet of colors to choose from(trying to sound like I have a fine arts degree...Sorry about that! ) Remember at a carshow before a guy at a booth asked "what's your favorite color," I said primer. He looked puzzled ...then asked "ok what color of primer," My answer was black. Boy was I excited a few years later when you could get Tremclad in three colors. Such a nice choice of paint brand with three choices of black...gloss , semi gloss and flat.(There that sound like me.) The brown looks great Brent!

[@felixlab9951]

bloody beautiful

[@carhead9397]

I like it. I wasn't sure about brown but it suits the car just right. The body work looks good too . Congratulations it's sweet. 👌

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks man!

[@bwsgarage]

Love the rake. Nice job

[@delorean-mm6sk]

nice job man...you have great taste..nice to see something original for a change

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks dude!

[@EdOfTheNorth]

Mr. Man you've got the body lines refined to a "T". You've got the gangster look of the 60's down pat. With a hip replacement and a new pair of slicks she'll look even better. LOL.

[@frankhartranft2133]

I guess it needs running boards; it looks fantastic just the way it is. Really, a work of art.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Yeah I like running boards.

[@kentowens2179]

Looks great! Very nice!

[@Titsmorone]
