What really happens

Derek and I were talking over some adult pops, and we both though it'd be fun to have me spray some paint on the @ViceGripGarage F100 Giveaway truck, so we set a date ( not really, we only had 4 days max) and got busy at my @paintucation shop! To say it was a thrash is understatement, but we got it done! We used @AxaltaCoatingSystems RIVAL paint, @ITWEvercoat fillers and primers, and topped it off with a @UPOLRaptor DIY bedliner. We logged about 80 hours, got sore arms, but made it happen! Here's my camera's worth of insight into some stuff that Derek may not have filmed. Enjoy!!

Thanks so much, Kevin! I had fun and learned so much!

[@GRAZINGARIZONA]

Always thought Kevin was super cool from the tv stuff. Seemed like a dude who could say things in a way that was understandable by all who listened. Glad you guys collaborate man.

[@timphelps3568]

Derek, if I had to guess I'd say you never in a million years thought your passion would lead to a successful channel and opportunities to meet so many others in this industry. Love the collaboration's and the end results. Keep it going!

Thank You for sharing ViceGripGarage. I just subscribed to Paintucation. Man learned alot.

[@opietwoep1247]

Derek you have such a down to earth channel about keeping these vehicles alive and well without breaking the bank. I’m a 60 year old man who turned wrenches back in the 80s for about 10 years. You take me back to those days.

What an absolutely stunning paint job with the colour matching bed liner.

[@paintucation]

I was a spray painter at Kansas City Assembly in 78. We sprayed thousands of Wimbledon White trucks that year. Maybe I helped paint that one.

Wouldnt that be cool!!!! ifit was you, you did a great job!!!

@@paintucation - It was a team effort. Ford used a 3-coat wet-on-wet process in 78 and there were 10 to 12 painters in the booth.

I remember watching Kevin on TV on Sundays, He taught us how to do your own bed liner in your truck. Way back in the day. Gave me Inspiration to do my own and turned out great. Thank you

Thank you Bill!

What an amazing collaboration. Loved watching you two guys work together.

[@paintucation]

Thanks bud!

[@T_Burd_75]

I've been watching Derek and Vice Grip Garage for quite a while now, and it wasn't until this truck project that I found this channel. Kevin and Derek are both excellent guys who do amazing work. I'm so glad you decided to do the bedliner. Oh, yeah, I subscribed to this channel!

[@paintucation]

Thanks man! Gonna ramp up production here and get lots more videos out there. Stay tuned!

[@RoninDosho]

I came over from VGG and subscribed awhile back. As someone who spent many yeas as an aircraft painter for the DOD, I really appreciate what you are doing, especially with safety equipment. I painted a lot of Jet aircraft and used a forced air suit and mask back in the 70's, 80's and 90's. I always cringed when watching Derek not use a facemask. So I'm really happy he's learned a thing or two from you.

[@church8042]

Mr. Tetz I wanted to say it has been an extreme pleasure to find you and your videos through Vice Grip Garage. I have subscribed and watched quite a few videos. Sir your personality, willingness to teach, and just being a fun gent is truly a blessing to so many people. I pray you, your wife, your family, and Paintucation are exceedingly blessed. I am looking forward to more videos and watching your subscriber count soar into the heavens. God bless you all! ~John

[@gnick540]

Have been watching VGG for about a year and learning so much about Derek's world, and now we've been introduced to Kevin's side of things and the collaboration is GREAT. Body prep and paint seem to entail a lot longer learning curve, but you make it look possible for the average guy. Can't wait to learn enough to actually try it myself.

[@Ravioli427]

This has been fantastic to watch the both of you knock this truck out. I grew up watching you on the weekends, now its like reliving it all over again. I saw that green Mustang you built a few years back at Mustang Week that had the newer mustang headlights molded in and all. Fantastic job.

Glad ti see this channel on KZbin. I learned a ton from you and paintucation. I painted my first car about 5 years ago. Tons of compliments and offers to paint other cars. All the steps came from paintucation! Getting close to painting my next project. Thanks for all the help

[@hornesbee]

I have been a follower of you for years. I'm a retired old guy, and a hobbyist painter for 40ish years. My skills were sketchy at best, but I paid attention to tons of your "How to" video's and learned a lot ! I think even back before you were with Eastwood. I learned how to set up my shop air and how to set up a spray gun and spray, I still use your technique to this day... Never. got to thank you... THANK YOU !! Happy to see you get with "Vice-grip" been. subbed to him for several years. James

Probably one of the best collaborations! Would be star struck by both. Thank you both for doing what you do.

[@robh3267]

As a body shop owner, painter and collision repair tech for over 20 years I can honestly say you guys did an amazing job in such a short amount of time, Kevin there is no substitute for experience and I could tell immediately that you have an invaluable amount of it, guys like you are getting hard to find and I was happy to see a painter who uses the proper safety equipment when painting, I see so many people spraying catalyzed material wearing only a particulate respirator and it's not only unprofessional it's just plain foolish, outstanding work.

[@corbis820]

As a "kid" who watched you on TV for many years, I can't tell you how valuable this collab with Derek has been for me and my project. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The sharing of experience just in these two videos has taught me volumes on where I went wrong and what I can do better.

[@bobholland9924]

I've painted houses and stuff all my life. It's pretty neat to hear you talk about painting the way you do. Nothing like taking something that's seen better days and making it look new or even better than new.

Hey Kevin - grew up watching you on Trucks! and just watched your bedliner ep and the VGG episode. I’ll be using your techniques on my own Mustang project soon, so keep up the good work. For me, just a weekend warrior, this content is gold. 👍👍👍

[@PAVEMENTMOD]

Glad this collaboration with Derek is paying benefits. Estimating you had about 100 man hours over the 4 days at (CA) shop rates that's between $15k and $20K in labor not including materials. That's a lot of funding to buy paint and tools if you do it yourself. A tip is to buy stuff like cutoff wheels and sandpaper and chemicals in quantity when you can, instead of small quantities when you have too. It saves money and it doesn't hurt as much when you have it on the shelf. Even doing it by yourself, in most cases, the cost of painting a car exceeds the value of the car, so you may have to include 'something' for a significant other to keep them on board with the project.

[@gregorybarth930]

Not really, a harbor freight paint gun, tractor paint, not quite professional body work and you can do a great job with single stage paint for a few hundred $$ afterwards I sold my sander & paint gun to a friend making it even cheaper.
