Engine Bay Painting ( Subaru Impreza WRX )

[@RRCRestoration]

Hey Guys, As you have probably noticed already i have updated the channel name and logo. The channel is no longer Really Random Channel it is now RRC Restoration. Just incase you were wondering why the water marks in the video still say Really Random Channel. Enjoy.

If You will restore all the car, I Will watch every episode!

[@RRCRestoration]

Hi, The full car doesn't need restored but i will be making several videos on a few different areas of the car ;)

[@jeffr0]

If all you do is wash your dirty socks, I’ll keep watching you do it.

Maybe painting car in the original blue?

[@mannye]

The whole time watching the disassembly I'm thinking "Wow...each part he takes off is a resto video!" Love this series! More!

[@KennethNicholson1972]

I know right, and it's bloody addictive viewing too.

[@zaidbhatti5952]

The cometary at the beginning was great. Nice vid and nice build. It’s gonna be sick

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you glad you liked it :)

[@irishwristwatch2487]

I feel like this is the start of something beautiful

[@RRCRestoration]

lets hope so :)

[@tofu.delivery.]

This is literally my favorite car ever, as if I didn't already have a reason to watch every single one of your videos. I can think of no better channel to leave this restoration in the hands of.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you so much for your kind comment, Im a massive impreza fan as well.

[@Ashkorya]

This video brings together two of my passion, restoration, and bodywork maintenance ! Good work :)

[@steveaustin4118]

Took apart engine to go faster, life got in the way, and all i want now is a car that goes 35MPH

[@lesdijoux8256]

it's cool that you had this subaru, because now I imagine that there will be a lot of video restoration of various things in relation to this car .... its going to be awesome ..... hurry to see them....

[@RRCRestoration]

Yup Plenty more little videos to come featuring this car ;)

[@BOOSTEDLCS1327]

Bunta is now satisfied on what you did to that engine bay

[@johnt-gn1bm]

Rewatching this whole series again. So good mate !! If you happen to find the time, and the weather aligns, a driving video of some sort would be greatly appreciated by I’m sure all of us 👍👍 My own blob eye semi-restoration is nearing completion and the inspiration i gained from your videos really helped me get to where I am now. Thanks mate !

[@TheZo0ka]

Found your channel bout 40 mins ago, thought “this is a cool channel”. Now i discover ur a subie guy and doin a restoration on a classic! Thats my after noon gone! Wish to see more content on this build!👍

[@RRCRestoration]

Hi and a very warm welcome to world of Really Random :) Dont worry i have more to come on the Subaru soon ;)

[@oznik46]

You're one of a kind, allways a pleasure to watch your work!

[@bostedtap8399]

Superb work, I would struggle to remember less than a tenth where everything went. Thanks for sharing.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you for watching and leaving a comment :)

[@GumpterCrayon]

Was thinking the same thing. Do all this is easy. Remembering where and how it goes together is the knowledge part

[@TheGCJourney]

WOW! Where has this channel been hiding all this time??? I only just discovered this! Wonderful tidy up! It's a dream come true for me to do this to my GC!

[@RRCRestoration]

Glad you found the channel and i really hope you enjoy all my GC videos :)

[@maycogaming5180]

Ya estoy esperando la segunda parte para ver como va a quedar ese trabajo perfecto,mis like siempre

[@KennethNicholson1972]

Smashing video Brother. Knowing your attention to detail, every piece you removed will look like brand new and polished before going back in. Looking forward to seeing this progress. Fantastic stuff. Much love man.

[@RRCRestoration]

Nice to see you again, yeah im looking forward to making progress on this project just as much as you guys are :)

[@wallybeegone]

His time and patience is commendable. I get frustrated if the battery in my car doesn’t come off quickly when I need to replace it. I could hardly bring myself to do this. It’s going to be beautiful.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thanks for your kind comment :) There are another 2 episodes of the Subaru engine bay restoration on my channel if your interested in seeing more ;)

It turned out great mate, and I really like you gave some background story on the car. 👍👍👍 I'll be looking forward to follow this project. 😊

[@RRCRestoration]

Nice to see you again, Glad you enjoyed it i was in two minds whether to give the back story or not as i wasn't sure if anyone would be interested haha.

[@jrand2631]

@@RRCRestoration Thanks mate, and as you can see in the comments, people really like when they get the back story on items, it kinda "completes" the items you're restoring if we're told where it came from and how it came in your possession in the first place, if you understand what I mean. 😊

[@lyndon_rich]

Holy shit ur a car guy! Thats awesome i knew it when i saw the miata stuff!

[@RRCRestoration]

Yup im a car guy through and through ;)

[@koshtie]

Hi Sir thought I saw a boxer engine in the corner last video! now it makes sense, my brother just sold a model the same as that, it had been worked on by the last owner, chipped and other things done to it, 360bhp! all I know is he took me out in the car & it was unreal, it was like it was on rails, it shit the life out of me, scary when your a passenger, look forward to seeing it finished , ATB Wayne. PS the car was an import as well as it had a rear wiper.

[@RRCRestoration]

Hi nice to see you again. Yeah they are awesome little cars, They feel really fast and corner brilliantly, Ive owned 3 of them now and this one is by far my favorite :)

[@chuckmigrain4956]

HI again nice to see you, Dont worry i have a few more videos planned for the Subaru ;)

[@lofty7180]

i do like a well presented engine bay. Its gonna be good following the progress of this one.

[@theravedaddy]

Ive just spent a week on my fairlane engine bay, there was a lot less junk in there but it took 10 washes and a gallon of paint stripper (we got the oldskool stuff here, it burns through nitrile gloves!) To get all the oil out!

[@RRCRestoration]

Yeah engine bays are a real nightmare i hate doing them just for the fact oil and paint dont make a good combo but theres no denying a freshly painted bay is gorgeous and a worth while investment in time :)

[@theravedaddy]

@@RRCRestoration yup. My ocd freaks out when i open the bonnet of a shiny car to see the engine room of the titanic inside!

[@BananaTougeClub]

Going to be like it came straight off the assembly line when youre done with it. Looking forward to the future videos. Nice car :)

[@RRCRestoration]

well that was a surprise, nice one, will be interesting to see what you do next to the beast, where the hell you find the time for all this content i'll never know, keep it up though, its good stuff imo getting better all the time the intro was necessary and worth while i think TA

[@RRCRestoration]

Glad you enjoyed the surprise, I thought it was about time the Impreza made an appearance ;) . Next video on it will be cleaning up and refitting everything that was taken out of the bay and possibly a bit of engine work if i can get the time ;) .... You might be interested to hear that ive purchased another trials bike ;) Glad you enjoyed the intro i almost didn't put it in as i wasn't sure if anyone would be interested in the backstory.

[@KineticLatency]

After the hydrate 80 and sanding, what was that black spray before priming? Just paint or a specific anti-rust product?

[@colinsharp1314]

Top job

[@daveward08121966]

i noticed you dry scotched before you zinc and primed it, i would at least scotched it wet with panel wipe, i also noticed you didnt sand or scotch the primer before you put colour on, was the primer not high build ? (wet on wet)

[@RRCRestoration]

Hi, you sound like you know your way around a spray gun? I chose to go down the dry scotching route so as not to end up with sanding slurry in every crevice and have to spend ages cleaning it all up before i can prime at least doing it dry its just a case of blowing it down with he air duster, panel wipe tack rag and prime. Yes i did do down the wet on wet route, i dont do it often as im not really keen on it but for this job i felt it was appropriate.

[@daveward08121966]

I've spent some time in a spray booth or two, we all do things a little different but in the end we usually get the same results and thats what counts. I must say your method of dry scotching is probably a better thought out one that i mentioned, keep up the good work, i enjoy watching your restoration videos

Its so that the car looks more like the rally version when they are on. plus it protects them from getting smashed if you do decide to do a spot of rally driving now and again haha.
