Satisfying Sanding - Talbot Sunbeam LOTUS - ASMR (NO TALKING)

In this video we're sanding the spray filler on the Talbot Sunbeam LOTUS. We thought we'd try our hands at an ASMR video so you'll see Lewis go through the stages of sculpting out the body shape on the Talbot. You'll see how we achieve those crisp swage lines and knife edge straight panels. There's no talking in this one...just the sounds of the blocking down!

Absolutely fantastic prep work Lewis, particularly liked the attention to detail on the bonnet lines and wheel archs, most people don't realise the amount of time that goes into proper preparation 👌

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Thanks Michael! A lot of time really does go into just prepping the cars!

[@MegaReddevil71]

Good to see someone else use a decent sized block to block panels only way to get them flat and u need that especially on a black car

[@WhitelandRestorations]

It's the only way and like you said...... black cars will show up imperfections the worst!

[@giulianomarco]

Smoother than something that's very, very smooth indeed. The paintwork, too. 😋👍

[@MartinHopkinson]

As I watched 20 minutes of Lewis sanding in silence, I realised that if you put out a video of the paint drying I’d probably watch it! I really need to get a life! But then, I do enjoy your videos!

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Thanks for watching! Paint drying video you say.....🤔😂

[@rossomonza5921]

Pure quality workmanship 👌👌

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Thanks Rosso!

[@Involvod]

Needs a 10 hour version

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Not sure about that..... I do a 10 hour version every day 😂😂

[@davefrench3608]

Superb workmanship

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Thank you very much Dave

[@HainjeDAF]

Really nice video. I'm amazed how you manage to communicate without speech what is happening/done. But personally I do miss your witty and informative comments. Your mutual interaction, knowledge sharing and humor......

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Thanks Marout, we were just having a play round with some asmr for this sanding stage. Normal service will resume next episode! 😁👍

[@HainjeDAF]

@@WhitelandRestorations erxperiment successful. It was as informative as the talkative videos. Just NMCOT 🤣

[@jaggass]

Please do more of these. If only cutting, welding and grinding was quiet too.

[@WhitelandRestorations]

This was a bit of fun while we were sanding.... We'll see how it goes, might be more in the future if people like it 😁

[@flakmag]

​@WhitelandRestorations this is one of the best ASMR videos that I've ever seen.. and I would binge(sleep)watch an entire playlist if you had it! I was just talking to someone who absolutely loathes the sound of sanding, but we both found it fascinating that there's an entire genre of YT videos that cater to the preferences of people's auditory stimulation 😅 But for people like me, sanding and shop sounds are pinnacle, and I don't think I'm alone.. I loved the video and hope you have the opportunity to make another at some point! Thanks so much! -Lauren

[@RWBHere]

This video is also very good when viewed at double speed

[@deanbrown7643]

Thanks a top paint job starts with the prep and you've nailed that without saying a word 👍👏👏

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Thanks Dean! It's all in the detail 👌

[@badbooks476]

Thankyou for sharing. Great to see a snapshot of the detail you go into with your preparation

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Glad you enjoyed it..... One of many stages lol 😅

[@paulmcgroggan7749]

Great job it's good that people get to see a pro at work and the time and effort that goes into a great paint job

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Got to put the hours in if you want the best paintwork! Worth it in the end 😁👍

[@jeffreythomas4283]

Dedication at its finest 👌🏻 that's a lot of work

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Thanks Jeffery!

[@paulneilson2890]

Love watching this, my father worked for Talbot at the time. We had a black TI as the family car which in my opinion was better looking though lacking performance wise.

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Glad you enjoyed it Paul!

[@2strokemad63]

Quality 👍

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Thanks Mick!

[@ianchristopher5430]

Very impressive.

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Thanks Ian!

[@mikeakhurst1855]

Nice job and meticulous to detail!

[@WhitelandRestorations]

That's our way! All about the details 👌

[@handbrakebob]

It's amazing to see how much effort goes into a proper paint job - really fascinating to watch. How many hours are we watching here?

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Thanks Bob!

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

Wow ! what a huge block you’ve got 😂 nice work my man looking really nice and straight 👌

[@WhitelandRestorations]

😂 Thanks! Bit of a different video this week hey!

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

@@WhitelandRestorations yes I enjoyed it I must admit I do like the no nonsense physical type showing you how to do these things it all works for dude I’m learning a lot thanks 👌👍

[@beemabuildbodystylingrepai1934]

Great video if that’s polyester then I know how hard it is to block and prep.i do fiberglass kitcars and love the stuff but man it’s hard and dusty work :)

[@micheltebraake7915]

I was waiting the whole time for someone to talk! Just because it's so hard not to talk.

[@99gibby99]

I can very much imagine this video style is Lewis's happy place, especially if they're forgetting there's a camera as well... totally centred on the work, focus, attention, care, precision. But my...all that primer dust in the booth! I guess it's to avoid any contam from the workshop, silicon etc etc...but my how do you get all that dust out later? and from the filters? My OCD is twitching.

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Totally right Tim, Lewis in the zone! The primer dust gets hoovered up into dust bags. Lewis actually just spent the whole of Saturday cleaning the booth down ready for a painting session. The whole room gets cleaned out top to bottom, washed and jetted off. It works for us and keeps the contaminates out like you say. Silicone products are banned in this workshop 😁👍

[@621aok4]

lovely work

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Thank you!

[@LOTPOR0402]

Nice to see it being done properly . the painters where i work just DA it

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Unfortunately a lot of painters don't have time to spend on jobs to do it by hand. Shame really because there is a lot of enjoyment in doing the job right

[@LOTPOR0402]

@@WhitelandRestorations Was never like that when i was doing it

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Ita such a shame isn't it

[@flakmag]

I would love to learn how to do this.. there's a rusted out Mach 1 in someone's junk yard not far from where I live (can't tell the year because the front grill has been modified and I haven't gotten close enough to look at the lettering..) BUT, how awesome would it be to be able to restore that pile into a head-turning beauty with restoration skills like these in yer back pocket?! Too cool..

[@geezerdiamond]

How many hours was that condensed into 20 minutes? Absolutely fascinating to watch 👍

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Approx 40 hours condensed into that 20 mins..... if only real life was like that 😂

[@rickydub6950]

Labour labour labour and lots more labour 😎👌

[@WhitelandRestorations]

So much labour.....worth it though 👌

[@philtucker1224]

Question: what are the pros and cons regarding blowing all the sanding off as opposed to vacuuming most of it off into a container?

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Normally we vaccum it off with a fuzzy ended brush but not going to lie..... Did it for the camera 😂

[@davidwaldie6227]

Great camera work. And very relaxing to watch, but how the hell do you get rid of all the sanding dust before painting?

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Thanks David! We spend a whole day cleaning the booth down before a painting session. It's involves a lot of hoovering and washing down!

[@martinneumann7783]

I had to search the Internet what ASMR is. Now I know. Now you know that I'm a yesterday man...

[@WhitelandRestorations]

ASMR is new to a lot of our subscribers! Our daughter says it's all the rage.... Kids these days 😂

[@chrisgoldsmith3120]

What happens to all the dust you create from the sanding?

[@WhitelandRestorations]

90% of it ends up in hoover bags.... The rest ends up getting swept up, washed away and caught in the filters 👍

[@philtucker1224]

(I thought you meant we weren’t allowed to talk! ) 😊😊😊

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Hehe no you talk away! We were just messing with the amsr no talking style while we're blocking down 😁👍

[@martinneumann7783]

@Whiteland Restorations Oh yeah! We have to learn what they already have in their digital genes... 😃🙄😃
