My AMG GT Black Series is in PIECES! Stripped Down for Painting

[@Shmee150]

It's crazy to see it like this, but my AMG GT Black Series is now stripped down and ready for the paintwork to being! This car is going to look so awesome in Solarbeam, I cannot wait.

What if you brought a charger with you and charger where ever your at while filling?

[@STARSHIPTROOP]

Tim you never did say what was the charging issue you had before w/ the Porsche

[@scottiecopasetic8315]

Can't wait to see finished GT Black & see how you configure the paint scheme. Tim has awesome taste so I'm sure it's going to be tits up!

[@slcncr]

Whenever i see the Taycan, my first thought is : damn, what a *stunning* colour ! Been loving this dark green metallic for many many years. And it suits the Taycan perfectly, gives it a very elegant look. The GT4 has the same vibe. Classy, but still interesting and you don´t get tired of it.

[@ShadowRacing]

Hi Shmee I enjoyed those videos from USA! Thanks for regularly posting new content and keeping us entertained! Can't wait to see how good that GT Black Series looks in Solarbeam Yellow!

[@Shmee150]

Thanks for the support, appreciate it

Great update on the preparation Tim. Also your new charging experiences must now give you a lot more confidence. Thanks again and Hi to Puppi. Regards, Bob M. South Wales

[@ryanguercio7061]

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing. I love this type of video because you will never see it again. I can't wait to see it done and it will be my favorite I am sure.

[@49tkscott]

Good to have you back in Blighty. I can just imagine you flying business class, hammering away at your laptop, sorting out your latest vlogs to upload.

[@davidcupra4913]

My soundbar on my tv heard u say hey google and told me all about that charging area 😆 love the progress on the black series can’t wait for more.

[@wilmawillmal]

It's insane to see the AMG totally stripped down, can´t wait to see it in the new colour. I'm sure you choose the right one. Greetings from Augsburg, Germany.

[@spilot1016]

Especially a brand new car!

[@waynebates9893]

Tim iv always called you legend 150 you pretty much have got off a plane and your making video again can't praise you enough how dedicated you are.

[@Shmee150]

Thanks for the support

[@pjmoody]

Still in shock that you did this. Maybe when it's completed I won't be as shocked. You're a brave man Tim.

[@timmo3351]

I expect as time goes on places like Chartwells will have their own chargers installed for customers etc. Glad you’re sticking with the Taycan experience, its a good insight for the rest of us.

[@Cadedus]

Looking forward to you coming back to the middle east in the near future Tim, Dubai always welcomes you!

[@Shmee150]

I hope even with the GT Black Series later this year!

[@zebra3519]

Tim, great to see you back. Hope you're eye gets better soon.

[@Shmee150]

Thank you

[@utctuning11]

I feel like I’m living vicariously through Tim! Solar beam yellow is easily my favorite factory color

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Really cool and interesting to see the GT stripped apart like. Great to see more of the Taycan, getting Zap Map would solve a lot of your issues.

[@gregizzo8349]

The yellow is going to look incredible!! I’m so excited!

[@Shmee150]

It should look amazing on this car

[@arisz77_gaming34]

Same I’m excited 4 it too

[@sarcodiauk2921]

Not so sure....never really seen any yellow car that looks decent

[@Pienimusta]

Good time to fit some straight pipes :D

[@Shmee150]

All in due course

[@PyroMotteFullHD]

Nice. What colour did you choose?

[@sp00ky1969]

Try and use that charging station when it’s been raining heavily. Make sure you take your Wellington boots… I met Henry Catchpole there when I was charging one time. Useless bit of information. Nice chap though!

[@JohanGregoire]

My Google nest picked up on Shmees question for that charging station, lol 😂😆

[@MegaSturrup]

Welcome back! Excited for this

[@Shmee150]

Enjoy!

[@jf6853]

It stresses me out just thinking about the planning of having an electric car. Great video, thanks dude 👍

[@samharvey6194]

Same here, I am usually not one for stopping and cracking on for a few hrs and covering the miles.

[@willkeen5010]

The garage is really starting to take shape. Take care Tim and rest that eye.

[@williamrogercummings277]

Very encouraging to see the fast charging on the road. This will just get better. Great news for EVs.

[@alanblasczyk1779]

Welcome home. I can't wait to see the updated black series.

[@Shmee150]

It'll be a month or so until we can see it finished, but it will be awesome

[@scalecrawlnl]

Hardest working man on KZbin! Solar Beam Yellow for the win, welcome back on home ground, a visit to a working site is always awesome. Hoping to see many 2022 outings in the SBY AMG GT✌

[@1nerv]

When you gave Google instructions to drive to the charging station my living room sound bar, which is internet connected, picked it up and started trying to give me directions 😅

[@ShawnTheTrail]

Awesome can't wait to see it completed!!!

[@Shmee150]

It's going to look so good!

[@ShawnTheTrail]

@@Shmee150 and unique!

[@carisi2k11]

In UK climate I probably would use the range mode since 20 degrees celcius is easy to do without aircon.

[@carisi2k11]

For an Australian that is.

[@wilmawillmal]

Get well soon for your eyes, Tim. Yesterday I was amazed that you wore sunglasses in the Shmuseum while you were admiring the newly painted rims. I thought either new lighting in the Shmuseum or sunburn from the USA trip.

[@adamgibbons94]

Tim using "OK Google" for directions to the charging station set off my Google Mini in the kitchen and my phone in my pocket 🤣

[@gothychris]

Quiet, calm, effortless.

[@wernerengel6357]

It’s great to see you keeping craftspeople employed.

[@christennant8143]

I’m 99% certain that this was recorded before he went to America, the wheels on the c63 are all black in this video.

[@kamalmatta3578]

GT Black Series is going to look Sick. Great choice by going with SolarBeam Yellow. (One of One)

[@ianlawrence92]

Tim, you have got to get rid of the Taycan and get yourself a Model S Plaid. The range on that is approx 350 miles. And it’s got sooo much power.

[@DrehzahlDieter]

Does not drive like a Porsche at all tho. Handling and driving feel is not even close to the Taycan

[@kingpreetham]

Great to see you driving around in the Taycan. Will be great if you can add some commentary on the driving experience. Unfortunately all you here these days is an obsession with 0-60 when it comes to EVs. Taycan sounds like a perfect daily and looks brilliant as well.

[@petripaa]

Taycan is very nice daily driver. It mixes best bits of bmw 5-series and 3-series together. Has the comfort of the 5-series, yet it can be easily as sporty and agile as 3-series. Obviously there is hefty amount of weight, but on daily driving it really does not matter. Even weekend trips with some backroad blasting are fine. On race track one would need something lighter though, but how many of us are really tracking (any) car?

[@CGNoble]

Hey Tim! Looking forward to this one 👍🏻

[@Shmee150]

Hope you like it!

[@scottguenther-lee2214]

Tim, you are a machine. Get some rest and take care of that eye infection. You rock! 👍🏻

[@TheRealBleach]

Saw your Ford GT down in Enfield at a neighbouring mechanic shop. It looked amazing in person. You have the best GT I've seen on the internet and so far in real life 😂

what happened?

Totally get why you run the Taycan, looks amazing, drives amazing, I still think the range and charging network is more of a pain than it would ever be worth though.

Hi Tim, please advise where is the BMW 8 series, I noted that you stopped talking about it?

[@Shmee150]

We strapped it to a space shuttle and sent it into orbit

[@pnsp33]

What kind of parts do they need, apart from a few clips and seals which always break, stipping down? I thought it's just a paint job.

[@Shmee150]

It's just that; window seals, one time use clips, badges etc

[@averageafrican]

13:22 my Google home activated 😂😂

[@peugeotlover4387]

So if there is any noises in the car from trim pieces rattling etc will Mercedes still fix that under warranty?

[@Shmee150]

That's why I drove it 700 miles as fast as possible before stripping it down to ensure the chances are minimised. Thankfully in the SLS BS I never had any issues like this.

[@peugeotlover4387]

@@Shmee150 Ok great. It would be worse to loose warranty on mechanical parts. I guess rattling noises aren't that expensive to fix anyway 🙂

[@Shmee150]

Yeah, more just annoying so you do want to avoid them

[@Simonsimps]

My kitchen speaker just told me it can't drive anywhere, thanks Tim lol

[@chris_drivefast_diesmiling4898]

Tim, please panel the walls, paint or coat the floors, adjust the lighting, and make yourself a dedicated area for an office and lounge area. I know you have tons of memorabilia and swag to display. Shelving and cabinets etc. would turn your "warehouse" into a garage/museum. Just my two cents. I'm sure you have big plans and it takes time. Amazing space and can't wait to watch it evolve.

[@jodonlee4542]

He already planned for the Museum. Just check is other account to bring you updates

[@ringsofpain8769]

i think if you could manage as much exsposed or exsposed dry carbon as possible i feel like that would be crazy

[@philipbingham8923]

Shmee, did you opt for the 22kw AC charging on the Taycan? Waiting for mine to arrive and went for this option.

[@Shmee150]

Nope I have 11kw. I bought a pre-specced car from the showroom floor, so I could not change that anymore.

[@philipbingham8923]

@@Shmee150 oh damn 🤦‍♂️, I intend to charge at our workshop just like you, hopefully the majority of trips I will make it home or need a quick blast at a external charger. Cross turismo should be here in a week or so 😁

[@marul8352]

Hi @Shmee150 I've a question... Based on your overall experience would you rather repurchase the AMG GTR pre facelift or the AMG GTR PRO? Which car in your opinion is the better buy for both city driving and also track days every fortnight or so? Really looking forward for your input thank you 😁

[@Shmee150]

That's a difficult one! I think on the balance I'd go for the facelift car, not the first gen

Does the tycan have a feature to set how much you will charge to so say like you go on vacation and leave it plugged in to stay at like 50%-70%?

[@petersimunovich223]

The haircut looks good, Tim 👍👍

[@7shaneel]

he might have addressed this already but wasnt the specific yellow color available from factory ? if not would a white color be better to respray in into the yellow color and i want to know whats the difference in paint quality and finish from factory to where you are getting it done ? love the content and cant wait to see the final result.

[@aidamtabirao2811]

Would consider adding the 992 gt3 RS if you were to get a build slot from Porsche. (IMO would look nice with the senna and the black series)
