I have painted an entire car before and it turned out meh. I forgot how much I hated painting I guess because I figured I had a little more knowledge now several years later to just paint the roof of my truck which had a bit of rust on it. It was not fun, nor did it turn out good. I got so annoyed with it I didn't even feel like throwing clear on it. The main purpose was to clean up the rust and throw a protective layer anyway. I'm not cut out for auto body and paint and I respect those that can.

Chris you have too many dark panels on your "paint booth" walls, paint them white or cover them with white wrap to reflect more light. You would be amazed by the improvement...

[@danielshaw9465]

Loving the build. Great to see it come along! Here's some painting advice if you don't mind. When it comes to exposed metal and body fillers you can't just use an etching primer alone. A filler primer has to be used on top of both surfaces, fully dried then sanded before the base coat is applied. It may look okay when you finish but it will show over time. An etching alone can loose adhesion and cause paint to come off and where the body filler is unsealed it will show as the paint cures. Take your time duder. Looks like your a bit squished for space, but you'll have way less contaminations if you do your prep work outside of your paint booth.

[@ConductorRyan]

Well said. Constructive feedback, without being a douche. See guys, it's possible. (Also, I was watching and thinking, I wonder how that new primer he started using will go on that quarter panel. Oh well.)

[@eslai]

We've mentioned it to him many times in many videos that he shouldn't be prepping in the paint booth, he doesn't seem to care.

[@FredAllenBurge]

Is that the same a using a sealer before the base quote?

[@josemsm]

@@FredAllenBurge no dealer before basecoat so I can guaranty you that the paint will come off that e-coat soon or later.. plus etching primer is ONLY FOR BARE METAL not for body filler... he needed to use a high build primer and seal the rest of the panel... I hope it last more than a year because i like this channel

[@asusreviews]

For future reference, for comparing paint colors you need either sunlight or a high CRI light source. Most incandescent lights are 100 CRI. Those Cool White LED shop lights are likely 70 CRI so they don't show the full color spectrum of the paint.

[@ColinMitchell124]

masking suggestions: the excess material should be cut off or fully taped down, small pockets can have dust trapped inside which can be dislodged during the refinishing process. plastic should be stretched out as neatly and tightly as possible, no flags flapping with painting, so many possibilities for dust or tape to let go with plastic flapping away.

[@benjossie8834]

[@timmaahhhh]

better lighting, and way less paint contamination.

[@ghomerhust]

after seeing that door trip piece against the roof panel, its easy to see the difference in color. and yeah, the car color did have a little bit of a green tinge to it. looks much better, cant wait to see it in sunlight

[@yuckysamson]

The issue with identifying paint colour discrepancy has to do both with the amount of light provided by sun vs. indoor, but moreso with the colour temperature provided by your flourescents/LED's. Certain differences will "hide" based on a large number of factors including magenta/green and blue/orange shifts in the light and other frequency spectrum issues. If it's possible to install a greater number of ultra-high CRI (i.e. extremely accurate) fixtures in your studio, which could also be done at multiple colours (i.e. Fixtures that will show you both 5400 K and perhaps 3000 K, bi-modal) you would have full confidence that your eyes aren't being lied to . Happy to make an introduction to a few providers of said lighting fixtures if interested. Thanks for your vids.

So use the sun or a sun gun. Yeah those snowflake providers of light fixtures won't talk to just anyone off the street....

Little tip for giving that seam sealer a factory look: spread the sealer as you normally would with the caulking gun. Take a small paint brush, dip it in paint thinner, and lightly brush the sealer over its path. Redip the brush often. That's it.

[@renerecek2323]

Play with shutter speed on camera and lights won't flicker any more!

[@CamoKiing]

Rene Recek his xanera probably has a basic shutter speed. Maybe 1/4000

[@renerecek2323]

CamoKing if he has shutter of 1/4000 and can see in that garage I want it. That isn't basic shutter speed of any camera hahahahahha

[@zacksean]

Us uses 60 hz so 1/60 levels out for shutter flicker sync

[@spacepxl]

Longer shutter speed should get rid of flicker. The flicker happens because cheap led lights don't smooth out the ac current fully, so they usually flicker at 60hz. If you can set the shutter speed longer than 1/60th of a second that should get rid of almost all of it, although you might be left with some slow crawl because of the mismatch between ac frequency and camera frame rate.

[@djphathill]

Slower shutter speeds for LEDs...

[@rwb1764]

Need some sealer on the quarter, I bet the color will be off once it's all in the sun. And remove more stuff like the mirrors and door handles etc. Little bit of work and time but the finished product will be 10x better

[@timmaahhhh]

@Dok Lk7 I dunno, pulling the 4 10mm bolts from the headlamps when the bumper was off, and taking off the fender moldings/ mirrors and door handles, is very minimal work considering how far the car is torn down, and makes for an vastly better finished product, with less chance to have issues, and look like a "painted in garage, or at the cheapest painter in town", and will bring more money at negotiation time for anyone looking at the car in person

[@UR2SLO4ME]

Tim East the car was originally white, the difference won’t be noticed when painting a white car white again.

[@lewisworkshop]

Have you tried learning Paintless Dent Removal? As you do nicer cars, it'd be cool to have less filler. Nice car!

[@ColinMitchell124]

ive found tons of filler in cars most would never have noticed, even the pros didnt notice until it was time to strip it down

[@TheToycloser]

Great build. Before your next build, try detailing the car first. It seems like a wasted step at first (because you're only gonna get it dirty) but it really makes a world of difference. Working on a clean car makes a world of difference (to me). I start all my projects with the pressure washer.

[@ColinMitchell124]

suggestion: when spreading seam sealer, spray it with the grease and wax remover, spray your glove as well and then use the wet glove to spread it - it wont stick to the glove, it will spread nicely, you can easily wipe up excess material with a clean rag

[@vdochev]

I'm glad to see your hard work paid off. I think it'll come out great at the end!

[@keagantiquin2751]

Awesome video as always Chris. I would have also painted the panels next to the roof, that srew on, in black aswell though, since everything around them is black... Maybe just an idea to think of...

[@xaninator]

For the floor, could you get those black rubber mats with the round holes in them to trap the dust? It would also hold the water better since it would be under the mats and in the holes instead of directly on your feet exposed to a lot of moving air

Where are the doors...exactly what I was asking

[@FrostMageonu]

hey man, i don't know if anyone has already told you this, or maybe you know it, but there are some lights that you can buy to mimc the sun light. I'm not sure about the name in elgish since i'm not from an english speaking country, but i think it would something like artificial sunlight lights. That's what is usually used inside the painting cabins. Maybe you should take a look at them if you are interested, but the real sunlight is always the best light you can use in refinishing and carpaint. hope i could help if you didnt know about this.

Re: wetting the floor between coats, if you wanted to do it without the risk of opening the door/hose etc. try filling a bucket up and pouring it. Or a water bottle with one hole in the cap.

[@cammmy]

Good job dude. Looks good. I'm gonna keep saying this until I know you've seen it though. Be very careful with paints that have isocyanates (2K paints). They are extremely toxic and those negative pressure filters only work for a few hours and if you smell the paint, you've already been over exposed to them. Have a look into a positive pressure respirator that hooks up to your air compressor. Stay safe.

[@AlaskaHandyman1973]

That is the problem with pearl and metallic paint jobs.... with metallic paints if you can get the exact color you still need a large blending area, a front quarter panel usually gets about half the car with new paint.

Pro tip try not to spray a tri stage in peices. Even if you use the same paint the color can change because of how heavy you may be applying the pearl or even the air pressure.

[@theeverydaypainter6364]

great job, only bit of advice i would offer is, get into the habit of putting a primer over that black coating that new panels come in (e-coat) as that isnt actually a primer at all. thats just to seal the panel in storage. Also if you had put primer over it before paint, the white would have covered much easier.
