How to Repaint a Honda CRV in Just 1 Day?! 🤯

We picked up a "90's era Honda CRV that deserved to be rescued, repaired and put back on the road.
This CRV has around 290K miles on it and appears they were hard miles. It lived on desert dirt road and the suspension was trash from all the potholes and rough terrain. The motor has a misfire and needs a few other items as well to make it road worthy again. The mechanical issues will be addressed later but first Fred is prepping the CRV for a new coat of paint. His plan is to spend only an 8 hour day to fix the major dents, clean and sand the complete vehicle, then roll it into the booth for base and clear. Watch and see the final results.

CRV lookin mint as hell. I would've painted the front and rear bumpers though. give it a more premium look.

[@fishflash1]

What a transformation. Curb appeal makes for a faster sale.

[@UWrenchTV]

You are correct, sir 👍

[@brensdaman926]

Looks great! That's the car worth fixing up since its built a lot better than the junk new cars made today

[@SWells679]

Sure, it's a "1 day paint job", but it's a "Fred 1-day paint job ." Looks great!

[@monkeyelvis]

Incredible! Fred is an artist in paint booth. I need to get my 4runner to you so it can look amazing again!

[@garyworokevich2524]

I must remember your masking technique just before paint. I'm going to use my friends barn, and unfortunately 15.7 rattle cans. Forgive me. I'm keeping the old battle wagon another 5 years or until car prices come back to normal.

[@UWrenchTV]

Thanks Gary! I hope you are doing well.

Good man with good business sense.

All in 1 day?? That’s a quick turnaround! Came out pretty good all things considered. 👍🏻

Good stuff

Great work am looking on doing this to my 2001 crv but i want a color change to nardo grey for as cheap as possible lol

[@nobodynoone2500]

that one dent on the smooth hood stands out hard, otherwise nice job.

[@LI-FLKayakFisherman]

Dang, those two dings on the hood and quarter stand out, especially with the gold paint. Why didn’t you use the spotter to pull them?

[@brandonwelsh2743]

To much extra work for what it will be worth.

[@LI-FLKayakFisherman]

@@brandonwelsh2743 I understand the value proposition but Fred had it out for the other dents and I guess for a few minutes more work it would have been nice not to have those glaring dings. But it did come out nice for a quick job. Good luck with the sale!

[@brandonwelsh2743]

@@LI-FLKayakFisherman thank you, he is good with the Maxi so it would have taken hours to fix them. It was his call in on what needed his attention. Also leaving dents leaves the CRV looking “nice used” so we don’t really have to say it was painted.

[@keithclark486]

​@@brandonwelsh2743 30 minutes tops to fix them and put them in primer.

[@brandonwelsh2743]

@@keithclark486 still not worth it.

[@___Joe___]

Would it have taken that much more time and materials to fix the obvious ding on the hood?

[@brandonwelsh2743]

Properly, yes. Wrong no

[@UWrenchTV]

Fred isn't one to just "throw some dough on it" and call it good. He prefers to hammer and dolly the dents as best as he can to use minimal filler which in most cases requires removing inner door panels or inner wheel wells etc. which takes much more time than. Repairing the small dings and dents in a vehicle like this will not increase it value. For a second car or students first vehicle this would be perfect.

[@robertdiehl9003]

Beautiful

[@powel1aa]

What does something like this cost?

[@slingshot1961]

Friggin A. Can I borrow your paint guy for my 2000 CRV?

[@alexisd9299]

color code for that silver?

[@StraightLineCycles]

So what do you guys charge for a respray? and rust repair...😉

[@brandonwelsh2743]

This style would be $1500ish plus the rust repair but we have to see it first.

[@StraightLineCycles]

@@brandonwelsh2743 just imagine a shit ton of rust...

What grit did you use to sand it with

[@UWrenchTV]

500 grit

[@dxg999]

Shame about the dent on the hood.

[@brandonwelsh2743]

Don’t get much for one day.

[@pierrejeanes]

If someone come saying paint it in one day I would say go to another shop

[@bored2323]

$3000 for a CRV with 300k miles on it is way overpriced with new paint it’s worth $1000 tops in my opinion… and yes 3k for that hoopty is covid pricing

[@brandonwelsh2743]

A car with working a/c in southern AZ is $2500 minimum.

[@selenasmith595]
