Restoring My Burned C6 Corvette - Best paint job I've ever done!

It's been about 4 months since the C6 corvette went up in flames. Video from the incident still doesn't seem real to me. We put so much into this car, it was by far the most I ever invested in a project, and to see it burn to the ground was heartbreaking…But we’re almost back! And we're going to rebuild stronger than ever. I still remind myself that it could have been so much worse, and I'm super lucky I wasn't hurt.
I can't thank you guys enough for all your support and motivation around this car. We're finally on the home stretch of this rebuild, and I can't wait to share V2 with you! x

Hi collet want to show a vid about a hyundai N getting pulled over by cops in cali and he needs to remove track mode cost 7000dollars because the stock exhaust makes to much noise in track mode....wow

[@HowToDIYRc]

[@HowToDIYRc]

And can't wait untill you finish rebuilding de vet and add those cool new lights under the car 😎

[@CZK_D-Research]

Whats This??

[@bigmikes2140]

I’m sure you know there are infrared heat lamps systems for paint booths. 3-400$ worth of lamps will cure the paint no problem

[@TASTYTREATSPLS]

Or just invest that into fixing the booth heater.. .

[@andreewert6576]

I don't measn to sound weird but seeing 4am exhausted collette is the best part about build videos like this. It's the same energy (and speech pattern lol) Adam has in these situations. Just his hair isn't as messy xD Anyway, it makes everything so real and relatable, in contrast to the shows and channels where the host goes home for dinner and the crew finishes the work off camera.

[@Hiltechshipwrights]

Go Girl......truly an inspiration to millions of people to just "go for it".

[@colliecollie6822]

Hadn't watched a Collette video for sometime. Her doing her own work, wrenching and especially painting, are her best videos. Those combined with including her brother are usually entertaining. Such a take charge young lady. I only wish she would get back into rally racing or the 600cc carts like Hallie Deegan races from time to time.

[@jeffhoffman3429]

I'm very excited to see this build come back to life!

[@anthonyarcoleo]

I recognize the hustle. your working your tail off! happy to see you pushing the boundaries and following your passion.

[@johndavis1387]

This young lady blows my mind. Good at everything!?. Adam is a lucky guy!.

[@GiannisZax]

This car honestly deserves to be called a "phoenix" way more than Adam's GT350. Good job on the paintjob! Also, please try leaving the hood exposed carbon for some contrast!

[@JaredR1996]

Glad u guys r safe from the hurricane. Also I’m glad to finally see the corvette back on the channel. It’s been too long

[@ColleteDavis]

Thank you 🙏 and yes, been a few months! Lol

[@lancer495]

So much respect for taking this job on by yourself, and then to film the process too, not easy, great work 👏🏼👍🏼👌🏼

[@mistycrom]

You should add some subtle, maybe almost/actual ghost-like flames over the rainbow.

[@daniesalex7073]

You have a special talent in setting cars on fire , but it's fine cuz you know how to build them back up even better

[@ghost-4778]

Every time you work on your C-6 tears comes down my eyes😢, it is the most scary seen you probably ever experienced im not sure, but it is heartbreaking after all that work sweats time you put in it…😢😢😢it wen on flames…plz Darling be careful and be safe ok Ty…❤❤❤

[@projectbumblejeep4190]

By the time we see this our helpful ideas are too late. But for future reference, you can try a satin clear over the damaged fiberglass as a kind of non gel coat repair to re-seal the loose glass fibers. You can put on as many coats as required to seal the fibers. This is a tip I hope you never have to use again. Looks great! God bless and stay well.

[@HellsWrath10]

Great to see some corvette c6 content! Glad you guys are safe from the hurricane and didn't get hurt in the tail of dragon crash.

[@anderskarlsson9331]

This is filmed prior the crach and hurricane

[@Matty.Hill_87]

It sucks that the car burnt down, but all this practice in the booth is going to make you a pro, you're already smashing it

[@tt-rs1457]

Know what you're talking about ...painting recently the Bumper of my Wintergolf VR5. It turned out that put another layer of clear will smothing out the surfing that much.......now it is perfect. Using a Sata Minijet 4....

[@randymiller2631]

Glade to see the vet ,you did pretty good on the paint,just think it only your second time

[@mastersjeng]

it looks crazy without the river in the backyard good luck with it hope you all out of danger good paint job

[@iankirkpatrick6486]

Great job, neon came out amazing, can't wait to see if all back together and ripping again.

[@automotiverhapsody]

Will this thing back into existence!!

[@williammendez5757]

C6 is looking good with the flakes 👍

[@ColleteDavis]

I love it

[@Al3xisAE]

Reminder about the lightened fly wheel on the corvette you drove in Ireland 👍🏻

[@kidgokuxl]

I was wondering if you were going to get this video on YT. I saw your short post on IG about a month ago. Looks really nice. Don't forget to install the fire extinguisher system! Nobody wants to see you get injured.

[@ricardorevo33]

It’s so cool to see you do all that hard work! The neon vette is looking awesome again

[@keithphillips6111]

I'm so proud of your attitude through all of this process. The paint looks great and I can't wait to see it entirely done Collette. I also wanted to congratulate you and your team on your drag car. You guys did amazing. Collette, there's alot of girls out there making utube channels, and I love them all,but you are the most well rounded driver out there on utube and you build your stuff too! I'm so proud of how you approach things and always do the right thing! So I can't wait to see your little multi colored hot rod soon! Be safe and go shread some tires kiddo!!!! Much love!👍🥳

[@ColleteDavis]

Appreciate the kind words and all the support 🙏

[@thejudgeexecutioner]

@@ColleteDavis what size panties do you wear and what styles and types are they, what brand are they also what size brand of leggings do you wear.

[@ScottO84]

Yessss. Watching you drive the other C6 was a tease because I can't wait to see this one come back around. Great job laying down the yellow and clear!

[@lachcav9885]

Great video Collete and awesome paint job. Can't wait to see more updates on your c6 corvette.

[@laurenschenck5355]

LOVEE the C6 corvette! Can’t wait to see the end results! 😊

[@joemcgill2925]

Great to see the c6 coming back together. Well done Collete and team

[@gareth1990ful]

I take my hat off to you I know stuff like this ain’t easy & proud of u for doing it ur self..🙌

[@davidblanck4131]

I love how this car is coming back better. That flake is epic. Have no idea how much it would cost to have someone else do that work. For a drift car, this is even more amazing than the original some how.

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

Friggin stoked to see how close this cars is getting to being back on the track! Going to look like nothing ever happened. 🤩

[@laurenschenck5355]

Awesome paint job! Collette looks BRILLIANT well done and incredible looks even better 😊

[@KeronBullock]

Great job Collette! I really do enjoy your content and all the hard work that you and everyone do. Keep up the amazing work! Blessings 💕😊🙏👍

[@ajr5195]

Great job! You should pick up a dry flake gun to lay down some mean metal flake. It’s the only way you’ll be happy with the amount of sparkle!

[@qijuans2920]

Nice job! With all those angles and crevices I know its got to be hard. Great work

[@michaelmitten2977]

Great job! Certainly something to be very proud of!

[@ChildrenOfWhistler]

Honestly your paint videos are my favourite content you create. You are a natural at it and should find time to do it more. I see you get the right amount stressed to help you push your limits with it. Stoked to see you fade it better than the pros

[@phils51]

Great to see you working on the corvette again, try holding the spray gun closer to the panels tho.

[@afote12]

YAY Corvette content!

[@frankgeimer5952]

You did a great job! Keep your content coming!

[@laurenschenck5355]

Hope you are okay with the hurricane and safe Collete ❤

[@Soulie81]

Yay the c6 coming back! Happy for you!

[@danielpeck6269]

That looks so good! I recently tried polishing and waxing the oxidized paint on my dad's 87 Dodge Van, and it was so much work by hand, but I am really proud of how it turned out. I aspire to get to your level of paint knowledge!

[@pedroferreira3454]

That looks amazing great job on the paint.love to see it.

[@audiarayz]

Looks sick! Nice work.

[@zacharycaron4834]

Been waiting so patiently for this video 😊

[@dgrock2484]

Stay safe Collete 🙏 love the vette content, your taste in color is awesome 👌

[@josephmatuszak3855]

Hope ya'll doing all right with the weather! Stay safe! Nice Vette btw!

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

Adam posted update vidz

[@youknowimwhite]

Didn't know you painted Collette that's bad ass!

[@kiemet94]

the phoenix rises from the ashes 🙌

[@ColleteDavis]

🙏🙌🙌🙌

[@jfssparky]

Just seen your channel for the first time. Are you the painter? Not to many women are the reason I asked. But when I was younger my dad had his cars painted by a lady and they won a few blue ribbons at car shows. I miss those times. Can't wait to sit around and watch what you're doing, keep up the good work 👍

[@lethal9c175]

She had someone come in and teach her how to paint. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXfdmId7lqdgsK8

[@jjansen987]

Great job. Next time hook a hose to the dehumidifier so it won’t stop running.

[@laurenschenck5355]

Wish you good luck Collette you can do this 😊

[@laurenschenck5355]

SO EXCITED!!! 😀

[@AmfP_89]

Your frickin killing it girl. Your paint skills are amazing you learned fast

[@Serrucho97]

Glad to see you excited with the corvette after that horrible fire. Never lose faith and continue killing it girl!

[@byronlaughnersr]

Great to see you on some corvette action

[@keithbennett5519]

Amazing, I missed seen u working on this corvette car

[@Skiridr22]

Wow you made it look so easy

[@iNEEDBAILMONEYY]

"Neon Time" needs to be your secondary brand next to "House of Prix" trademark it.

[@craigmalcolm5697]

Adam said in one of his last videos that there were updates to the paint both, keen to see if they finally get it sorted

[@joshuaglass1731]

So glad you got this painted,🔥👌

[@ColleteDavis]

Me tooo 🙏😩

[@Buickluvr]

Glad to see some work on the Vette. Love that hood. Question- Have you thought about taking the Lancer on the SICK WEEK drag tour? Only take another bunch of late nights to get her ready...

[@ghost-4778]

Tytytyty so much Collete Davis ❤❤❤

[@bigmikepimp2003]

When you did the second coat looks like a sharpie highlighter. Looking good glad you did it yourself

[@jorilarson4141]

Looks good from here.

[@robertvorster8933]

The paint job looks solid Collete. Also think your technique looks good. You mentioned it being awhile since the last time you where in the booth, definitely doesn't look like it. Looks like you have been sneaking in some practice session. Pretty sure Randy and the team at House of Kolor would give you a nod of approval on that paint job. Great job!

[@chrishopkins114]

Before you did the clear coat and glitter just the neon it was trippy when you put it up close

[@SethHollingshead]

Should try Sata rps disposable plastic paint cups. They are awesome hold alot of paint ..also have the small cus about a pint

[@burr-leeTV]

Great Job ...

[@bakedboarder34]

I was the 1000th like’🎉 woo!! 😄 Can’t wait to see the corvette! Happy I could contribute to the rebirth. NEED MORE HOUSE OF PRIX MERCH PLS!! 😁

[@texaspowerman]

Nice job on the vette, I really like the flake on candy colors this is the first time I’ve seen it on translucent yellow. Because of the conditions you drive in I was surprised you used the show clear. I expected a high solids clear or ultra high solids clear. It’s not quite as high gloss but a lot more durable to sunlight and ethanol. The fades going to be interesting to watch. It will good to see smoke coming off the tires on a track soon.

[@marcbrown9528]

Looking good

[@riddlemethis01]

I don't know why but for some reason I would love to see the hellcat engine in the Vette whipping sideways.

[@Jackm117]

You could add some ghost flames in the fade as kinda a that happened thing

[@thomassabia5750]

Good job on the vett if it was a show car it would have 20 coats of clear

[@jasonanderson2876]

I had NE503 on my GSXR with inter-coat clear for the pearl & UC35 on top and it was amazing looking but i always had it fade, the more exposure i had to direct sun… the more it would blemish or bleed brilliant color off the high edges. Does this happen to any of the yellow for you?

[@shawt_boss620]

Wish you good luck

[@ColleteDavis]

Thank youuuu

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Paint the engine bay neon,, but really leave off the flake. That is for the outside panels and since it is a Drift car that will get battered and bent straight color is 100% easier to match.

[@steeltree-fabricatingandcu3796]

You need to surprise Taylor ray and paint his Vett for him

[@SourBogBubble]

Thanks 😎 🤙 🦅

[@aaronbales3585]

Was just wondering what guns you are using? You should look at the Devilbiss DV1. Amazing gun, and ran with the Devilbiss DeKup system you can literally paint upside down with no spillage. The atomization out of them is a game changer if you are using cheaper guns.

[@racer193wr]

At the end of the day it's a drift car. You could end up replacing that whole front corner on your next outing. Smash the paint and flake to it and start on getting it back to the track..

[@arowana888888]

multi able talent girl

[@pinecone1811]

Your such a cool chick! My hat goes off to you, well done ❤

[@CZK_D-Research]

Do At Your Best Collett

[@astreetkidnameddesire4046]

Really really crazy idea that just popped but hear me out before you write me off a crackpot: Paint a couple links on your Tiffany necklace & bracelet to match the Corvettes paint & then collab w/ them creating a purple & pink line of automotive inspired jewelry. I genuinely believe they are forward thinking enough to partner w/ a KZbin content creator that's as wholesome, family friendly & brand conscious as yourself & I don't think there's anyone out there that's automotive based male or female creating the kind of pieces you could wear to semi formal events. In this case, because of who you are & because the necklace you're wearing reads "Tiffany" on a flat piece I personally think it would be extra rad if that flat piece was in the shape of a rotary engine w/ all the details of a Dorito w/ Tiffany X Collette on the case (I'm sure you know what I mean). Anyways, crazy bs but sometimes the crazy makes sense

[@detailbydesign8719]

Nice work but you need to add more flake to your mix for better coverage

[@ghost-4778]

Woahhhhhh good fucking job Collete Davis ❤❤❤

[@rx3savannagtrx3savannagt18]

Love the c6 stuff but any rx7 20b footage from last event please ✌️ brap brap brap

I mean ColT - - Gotta do what U do Best

[@knowitalls8079]

Oh you painted it yourself this time. Good job

[@ColleteDavis]

I painted the engine bay and interior last time as well.

[@CZK_D-Research]

Engine bay paints are little dangerous- wrongly applied - blocks may cause fire

[@JeepnNick]

Paint something lime time its so beautiful

[@rickyzaldivar]

Let go 🔥🔥🔥🔥
