[@the_undead]

Not really. He just called you not a content creator, this endeavor was sponsored by ridge but he likely didn't complain because there's definitely worse things a sponsor could ask you to do (like dig through a box full of glass shards) and the gold plating is an improvement on this truck because it is not built in a way where rust is a non-concern and Ms. Gold will definitely reduce the risk of rust being a problem

[@kayvak7267]

Yep, these sort of lost from reality video topics drove me to unsubscribe from him.

[@ham_via_disc]

it's a giveaway for his sponsor ridge wallets. This is coming out of their advertising budget so i'd say with all the views and comments they're probably pretty happy with their investment. The money spent doesn't just disappear. The workers and vendors who helped him also appreciate being able to earn a living.

[@Resyektt]

@@ham_via_discidk how people fail to understand that even frivolous spending feeds families and supports jobs. Money doesn’t vanish. There’s far more predatory things in economics to focus on. Also gold plating uses a very small amount of gold, it’s not like he painted pure gold sludge onto the thing lol.

[@raspas99]

People are so narrow-minded. Even the richest person when buys something dumbest in the world that money at least goes somewhere. The worst kind is the one who is modest and drives a cheap car and eats like everybody else. You need a rich guy who spends millions on cars houses and everything else. Ideally you have a rich person who spends everything. I know there are two steps in concluding this but two steps shouldn't be that hard for a brain.

[@orijimi]

​@@raspas99I'm not even hating on Zack here. He simply does this stupid stuff to appeal to the lowest common denominator. But no, we do not need rich people to spend their money frivolously. Rich people do the world much greater good by giving their undue earnings to charitable causes. All the rich people I've associated with in life have and it's been far more beneficial than indirectly transferring that money to the owner of some high profit margin business without even a sliver of ethical concerns.

[@Bitplex]

We all left feedback in what went wrong and how bad it looked in the first video, and so they decided to cover it in water to mask just how bad thud thing looks for the second video hahahaha. So obvious why they had to do that. You can see in the first video all the streaking in the final result. So they figured water would naturally streak over the top of that. They couldn't have made that any more obvious 😅

If you’ve ever had to paint something like a car or stain/paint a table or anything like that, you always rough and smooth the surface. It removes imperfections and is more uniform, same applies to most painting jobs

LOL Zack. It looks like gold plated doody, no matter how you spin it :D

[@barrondeville1866]

Just like chrome plating the more care you take preparing the surface the better the final result will be. Personally I would have fine polished the stainless steel before the gold plating and then would have added a few more coats of gold plating polishing the surface between each coat, that would give a deep gold shine. As a finish possibly spray a self leveling clear coat to protect it.
