[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Thank you Hubertus👍👍👍

[@vayabroder729]

Spray paint application is coming out awesomely!!

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Thank you sir, some heat during the paint job is needy and you can have a real nice mirror finish with can’s.

[@annies_vw]

looks good!

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Thank you Annie👍👍👍

[@petermulders1501]

Nice result for a top coat that wasn't wet sanded

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Thank you very much. I only wet sanded the body primer for a good bonding.

[@sevenoaksbrewing]

Beautiful job there 👍

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Thank you very much sir👍👍👍

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Outstanding!! Very well done! I like that green thing you use to strip paint. I haven’t seen those here. I like using a heat gun when painting! Paint came out great! Bead rails look great too!

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Thank you My friend. Yeah that scotch brite is a very good paint cleaner without taking off the metal. 3M sales that. I’m very happy with the outcome off the paint. This time I used 2k and is Easier to use and dry’s a lot faster then 1K.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@VWBEETLEOVAL1955 I’ll have to look them up on Amazon. They seem to work very well for you. Yes 2K is a really nice clear, it’s nice they have it in the can with a hardner released.

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

@@SladesVWBeetle well these can’s doesn’t have the button to relieve the hardener. I can use them for a longer period. I will send you the correct name for those Bristol’s.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@VWBEETLEOVAL1955 Thank you I appreciate that! Oh yea, the button….hardner release is only good for 48 hours

[@backyardkombi5466]

It’s beautiful Filip. Also nice editing on the video.

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Thank you sir, I just try to make it easy to look and to understand what I’m doing. It was needy after all these years, otherwise it would rust fully in the future.

[@HubertusSchaper]

Hi,l Pilip just one more step to the finish the paint looks great👍🏻👍🏻.

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Thank you Hubertus. I’m happy with the result. Even spraying paint with a can, can look awesome.👍👍

[@sashas8168]

Looking good.

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Thank you very much, can’t wait until I can build them in.

[@DemopVWgarage]

like glass Filip :) see folks you don't need all the fancy spray booths/equipment to get a great result :)

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Thank you Nick, yes it’s possible to do a glassy look with can’s. Prepping is everything and everyone can do it. Thanx for the support👍👍

[@zimms-world]

Looks Great. What kind of paint did you use?

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Hi Jim, sorry for the late response. I use L041 piano black 2K paint in a can. I hope I helped you out with this👍👍

[@loringkohrt115]

Hi, Will the '55 be at Hessisch Oldendorf?

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Hi sorry for the late response, but the car is still under restoration and is located in Belgium. So I’m sorry to say that I can’t make it.

[@alexhuevera939]

what was that green sanding brush you used to remove paint called? i need to buy 1.

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

That’s called a bristle disc roloc k 50 from 3M. It’s a really easy tool to use and don’t wear fast.

[@alexhuevera939]

@@VWBEETLEOVAL1955 thank you. car is looking great. cool that it's your grand dad's ride.
