So glad you included that clip with the wing mirror, huge respect 🤣😅

[@IdentifiantE.S]

Best moment of the video 😂

[@muskokamike127]

You did really good on your 2nd vehicle...one tip: use as long strokes as possible. I saw when you were painting the bumper, the skinny parts over the air inlet, you went half way, and then back and then partway then back. It should have been one long stroke start to finish....one way to prevent orange peel is a finer atomization of the paint...more reducer or higher air pressure will achieve that.

[@semihyilmaz4699]

Orange peel has something to do with how you spray the paint or how you spray the clear coat?

[@ouloupz4410]

@@semihyilmaz4699 with the clear. Except if u really make a huuuge mistake on paint the orange peel came with the clear or when u do a bad sanding primer

[@muskokamike127]

@@semihyilmaz4699 As the other guy said, you can get orange peel in the paint layer as well. If you didn't have it on the paint, then have it on the clear, it's how you sprayed the clear. I looked up online what the cause is and it's the "mist" or "atomization" of the material isn't fine enough.

[@jimwiskus8862]

Hi Ben, I think you did an outstanding job. That’s what wet sanding and buffing is all about. The other thing to keep in mind, it’s a work truck. As far as the DS mirror goes, and I’m sure you know this you can just get a replacement glass, I think. We used to anyway. That said, maybe your mirror is internally damaged??? Not sure, anyway you’ll have the answers. See you in the next installment.

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

With a cut & buff it's going to be mint! Almost done already!! 😮

[@cammyers]

Don't beat yourself up too much. You're already ahead of a lot of people making a living painting. I've been spraying for 25 years and it's good to be on your toes practicing, honing the craft, learning, etc. It is a constant struggle for perfection. There are a lot of factors in getting orange peel but mostly you moved too fast and/or gun was too far away but you are right that orange peel is better than runs

[@steves1765]

You did good. Only thing that may help is less stopping. So spray all the way across if possible. long strokes and less stopping will lay it down better. Less chances of running the paint too. Looks good and I admire your willingness to learn. We need more youngsters like you in the world.

[@ryanmeeker8587]

When you spray clear do a light tack coat then 2 heavier flow coats. It also helps to spray end to end with out stopping.

[@1JackTorS]

Man, I laughed so hard when you broke the truck mirror. It's exactly the sort of thing I would have done!

[@luxe-kustoms]

Great job on your 2nd paint job for sure, Tip, When painting, Carry the paint well into the next panel, don't stop at the edge of the panel, you will get a build up at the edges, Also on your sealer, spray the edges down with reducer to melt those edges.

[@stevebulman7812]

Great episode. Appreciate the transparency with the mirror and orange peel. You seam to be having more fun. Thanks for the content.

[@SammyFIN]

Great job! I've also backed up my mirrors 2 times in my garage doorway on my two cars... even though I've backed into the garage a million time, but sometimes I guess shit happens when you're tired or something.

[@Tosh.R]

Great color on the truck!!! I would look into the front suspension. It definitely is not sitting right especially with how those upper control arms looked

[@johnhouseholder7682]

Don’t be so hard on yourself you’re doing great v tuned,I love painting most of all.thanks John from Arizona

[@jordanvargovich]

Came out pretty good. Helps with the much better spray gun.

[@davidhay782]

Really nice video. I know you were getting some static from folks in the last video saying that you should have gotten a heavier duty trim / model, but I think this plus your awesome bargain trailer will work out perfect for your usual faire (US classics / Euro exotics). If you're only towing sports cars (in pieces lol), no need for a giant truck with poor gas mileage 👍.

[@malcolm6951]

Good call to get extended tow mirrors, just make sure you check if you bring in to the shop again or widen the shop doorway!!

[@josuelozano7581]

The DV1 is 22psi or 1.5 Bar for spraying, is an awesome gun I actually owned 2 of them myself, great job Ben

[@boydannon7834]

That was a priceless 'Doh' moment when you clipped your mirror Ben! 🤣😂

[@mdf1951]

I think you did a great job, once its polished it will look like a diamond.

[@thereald-goz3588]

Nice to see you painting Ben keep it up you will get better with time!

[@lonnygallant827]

Looks great Ben! Don't be too hard on yourself. I have a hard time with clear coat also. Some guys make it look so easy. Great Job! :)

[@IdentifiantE.S]

You’re right its a really good job !

[@marcmartinez2079]

Ben come on man last thing you need is an extended mirror 😅

[@NeoM018]

Nice work as always, you'll get there as far as paint is concerned. You put together a McLaren that needed a tub swap so what's little paint compared to that. Just be patient with yourself and keep practicing and you'll nail it. 👌🏾♥️🇿🇦

[@tomrockholm-timeless_morph6691]

Looks great, little tip when spraying repair areas next to blend panels is to quickly mask up your blend panels so you’re not spraying sealer on your blend panels, also reduces the amount of base you use since you won’t have to cover up your sealer overspray on the blend panels. It helps to keep your blend areas a bit smaller too if you don’t have a ton of room for your blend. Hope that makes sense. Great job.

[@clintprice2123]

You did just fine and each time going forward it’ll keep getting better. If you can sand and polish it nobody will ever know.

[@ouloupz4410]

as a car painter, you do a really good job, it's not easy to spray clear when time is hot, clear is already dry while you are spraying haha. Good Job, i appreciate this, don't forget after you degrease to go with dry tack clothes, degreaser every time let some dust on the car, i spend a lot of time to know where come from trash on my paint and tack clothes reduce like 60% of my trash i appreciate ur vids have a nice day c:

[@dickdegraaff5452]

Dear Ben, The Ford F150 truck now looks a lot lot better and you’ll be a great painter soon because with every paint job you learn what you have to do for getting a perfect paint where nobody will find any difference with the original paint like a car never had some damage. I look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands

Putting out that content! Enjoying all the hustle lately.

[@aelaan12]

For someone that never painted, this is a good job. Get some lessons from the Kandyman or from Andrey of LNC Painter. I bet they can teach you a lot over the phone. One thing they will all say: The prep work is most important. We hate prep work, until it finally clicks.

[@rafaeltorovip]

Every master started as an apprentice and we all learn with time. Continue doing your great job 👍

[@alanpaulick7815]

Awesome Ben. I'm sure you will master the nack in spray painting. Color is great.Take care.

[@loopy7232]

I laughed really hard when you clipped your mirror. The reaction was awesome.

[@JRs-Garage]

Ben , 3 coats of clear with flash time between coats depending on the clear manufacturers spec’s Temperature affects flash time as well 😁

[@paulgunter1538]

Nice work on the truck and the paint work. You will improve with experience. Keep up the good work !

[@mikemissel7785]

Goonzquad is going to owe you a ton of paint booth time for all the frame work you do for them.

[@AMLagonda]

But he already has one...🤔

[@stevejones9788]

Lucky you were taking that door apart 😊 Always loved Ford for their cheap parts.

[@HowtoRestoreHeadlights]

No lie, I love that you’re STILL learning! I’m sure Paul can throw. Some more tips your way ;) You picked the best week to do it too with LOW traffic there at the shop lol

[@gibson5056]

Ben definitely has the best content! lots of great work!

[@bigkev10101]

Awesome job. I am glad you repaired the door instead of replacing it.

[@muskokamike127]

2:40 that's what happens when you use only the backup camera...you're not the only one whose done that. Back in the day you used your 2 side mirrors and the rear view so you'd see that....

[@mfc4591]

OUCH that hurt with the mirror, thanks for your honesty and showing the mistakes ! Been there, done that ! Good work on the rest of the vehicle.

[@wethepeople7629]

Leeeeessss Goooo! 2 videos in 2 days! Awesome! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 @2:23 😮😂 I know it was broken already 😅

Hey Ben vtuned Garage very good spray paint job on ford 👍👍👍👍👍I love like watching on KZbin channel make videos on building and spray paint on cars and I love like support and number one ☝️

[@MrGibbie2210]

great job man, love the colour, its my personal favourite. And it hides a multitude of marks. you are deoffo getting better at the painting, dont knock yourself you are doing a fantastic job

[@Bumblebee4788]

I'm with you on painting, hate the prep and tapeing, love the painting..👍

[@trainmanbob]

It doesn't matter at this stage how good you are, as you will only improve with practice. OK so you need to sand and buff a touch, but to me that is a very good attempt. Well done Ben. Cheers, Bob

[@jonathan3982]

Looks good it turned out really good. Imo I would've just painted the entire truck, you basically painted over half of the truck anyway. That is a good looking blue.

[@billlear5607]

Good video Ben. Love watching you and your brothers build cars. I haven't seen Mark or Yeary in a few weeks. Hope everything is good. Let them know we are concerned. LOVE.

[@turborspec6260]

Looking healthy Ben!! Keep up the hard work

[@bobgrob4]

Ben, as your attorney, I advise you not to get mirrors that stick out even further. 😀 Also, happy to see you repair those doors rather than replace them. Save a few hundred large right there. Makes a much better video too. Sidebar: who ever does the music for your videos - excellent!

[@rainerjaschke5216]

Good job Ben. The more you do it the better you will get.

[@robinharrison3907]

Well Done Bud 👍👍Your getting better with the painting 👍👍

[@kendalltechinc]

I’ve done the same thing to the mirror on my wife’s Sequoia! Her mirror had the heated mirrors and the replacement mirror was $200! Nice work on the truck!

[@melmcclure3710]

Awesome job bud. The only way to learn is to keep doing it and you are well on your way. Is there anything you can’t do with cars. 😊

[@GarbanzoBeansFan]

i was like "BRUH" when you bumped the mirror 🤣🤣

[@deopersad2915]

Awesome on getting it done, and accidents happens like with the wing mirror, and yeah just more practice with painting it will get better awesome young man 👍🏽👏🤙

[@gunarstowers5857]

You might want to check clear coat adhesion with some masking tape before you spend anytime sanding and buffing

[@BrucePierson]

You did a pretty good job on the paint. Metallic paint is really hard to spray and get it even, especially with limited experience with painting. As the saying goes, "practice makes perfect" so keep going the way you are and you can only get better.

[@frankleonard6570]

That paint job looks good to me. Heck of a lot better than i woulda done! Lol Love the color ❤

[@drcolster]

As long as the new paint looks close to factory job, thats the main thing.. Great Buy..

[@cornellmukes95]

That trunk would definitely look sharp with some nice off road wheels and tires nice job V Tune

[@mathewboswell7702]

I did the tow mirrors with my F150 and it makes huge difference not only pulling a trailer but also just normal driving.

[@weaverhchrist]

Yer a natural boy, ya look like a painter and ya paint like a painter, No painter ever been any better right outta the gate!

[@naefjarmakani4960]

Appreciate your honesty man the way you've done that mirror hilarious😂😂😂

[@radicalridesmx656]

if it helps when i put some clear coat i but just a bit of reducer on the clear coat and that helps out to get a smooth paint job that and to get the air presure right if its too low you will get orange peal and the other thing its to lay down the second coat when the first its not fully dry so it could blend and stick with the first one

[@Trixboomer]

Nice work! I love how you are getting it done and sharing the wrk with us.

[@randymackintosh6559]

Props on including the mirror damage...that's how things go in my life...LOL. Also great to see you STILL learning stuff in that trade...you are a magician on the steps before the final stage...keep on growin'!!!

i am amazed at people like you who know how to do everything. what a gift you have. Anything I try i make a mess of

[@philtucker1224]

Ben I’m not a painter but during hot conditions I think you just need to bring the gun just a tad nearer to the part that you’re spraying. (I think your fear of runs is just holding you back slightly) nice looking job 👍

[@mboucher3461]

Great Job, it's your shop truck, good place to practice. Great job on the door too.

Nice job on that door, that’s the content we don’t deserve but you give it.

[@charleshenshaw9099]

Ben, if you want less trash in your paint then blow off what you are painting after you clean it. Don't use high air pressure. Use the same pressure that you spray with. Then hit with a tack cloth and paint as usual.
