Got to make her perfect haha thanks man

[@stanleybalewitz4858]

Can’t wait til you put the lift and rims and tires on. Gonna look sick. Great work man.

[@CB-hr6zs]

A true perfectionist and rightfully so this rig is gonna look awesome once it’s done.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!! I can’t wait to get it back together! The end is in sight!!!

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

Another way to look at this project is this: You didn't take this on to do it half a$$ so in my book, you're golden. Do it as many times as you want until YOU are happy with the finish. Sides, we all learn from these videos.

[@davidgoeken7993]

I really appreciate your work. I knew that you would be not satisfied like most people and just button it up. Can't wait for the finished product!

[@MrJeddurso]

Can't wait to see the finished product. This is going to be epic!

[@davidc977]

Its my favorite color. Wish more good vehicles come with it. It seems more popular again within last yr or so. Looking good!

[@chrismmurphy3132]

Put a little reducer in that clear doesn’t take much about 10% and it lays down so much better I recently switched to this clear and I love it

[@MussaKZN]

You are spot on, but It get a lot easier to run the clear.

[@chrismmurphy3132]

That's true thats why I just like to add maybe 10% doesn't thin it out too much but seems to help it flow a lot nicer I always say if you don't get a run every now and then you're not pushing it enough

[@jacobboone7994]

Looks amazing Austin! Ready to see it all put together.

[@Do-andL3arn]

Not this year 🤣🤣🤣 it needs some more clear, paint and primer and some more clear

[@kflo1219]

Name it perfection after this…😂 it’s above and beyond factory specs at this point. I’d be overjoyed if mine looked like the first paint job! Keep up the awesome work!😊👍🏻

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!

[@geirhosethkarlsen6299]

Love youre trucks man

[@Silverback1969MoonLandingLies]

Awesome channel! Thanks!

[@gregh7457]

the body shop i worked at used to basecoat paint the cars 2x. First coat went on and it sat in the sun a couple days. Then we'de block sand that and repaint. A second paint job always looked way better especially over areas that had bodywork done. I sometimes sprayed the first coat and if the paint booth was busy, i'de spray it outside if the weather was good. One time i sprayed a car outside and the conditions must have been perfect because we joked it had less dirt in it than if it were painted in the booth.

[@austinniemela]

Crazy how that works sometimes!!

[@The78CJ5]

Looks great so far!!

[@javieresquivel4601]

Great videos Bro , I love you're persistence to do the best you can. I guess we're so much alike , perfectionist . I have an 04 Tacoma, my buddies keep telling its almost a twenty year old truck ( what do you expect ) . Deep inside we know it can look and run as good as new or better. Keep up the great video, god bless .

[@austinniemela]

Heck yea if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right!! Thanks!!

[@ronthompson2366]

Looks great 👍 this is the joy of hot rodding.

[@h.h.legacydiesel6724]

At first l said " not again " then my o.c.d. kicked in, yup you have to be satisfied with it or you will beat yourself up. Great job, can't wait to see the finished truck! I do like that you painted the topper to match too. ✌🏻🔑, 👌🏻👋🏻 🇨🇦 👨‍🦽 😎.

[@diyjeff1838]

What did you do for reverse light switch on the trans?

[@allenhorne7032]

Did you get all the motor issues worked out yet? I couldn't remember if that was all figured out! It's looking great!

[@austinniemela]

Thanks! It needs a little tuning still!

[@MussaKZN]

Back in the day my first job was at a panel shop, we we used that much 2” tape on a mask up ... the boss would have lost his mind.🤣 Second thought walk out the whole side overlapping clear can get a bit think,

[@erikramosandmelody8774]

Bro might as well ghost some graphics in it lol. Great job man gotta Josh around thoug :)

[@thedailyhorn52]

How much you charge for paint jobs the old 4Runner I'd love to get sanded down

[@abpsd73]

That wavy back door was probably from the last paint job with some guy going animal with a D/A. I usually let clear sit a week before cut/buff so it's pretty hard and shrunk, you and I don't have the luxury of bake in our booths to speed it up.

[@austinniemela]

Yeah I like to cut it and let it sit for a day then buff!

In the words of Gene Winfield, "Keep painting until you're happy" 💁🏾‍♂️

May as well keep going until you are happy. The first scratch is going to make you cry either way. 😆

[@austinniemela]

I know haha it sucks sometimes!

[@cameronf2758]

What gear ratio is this truck?

[@austinniemela]

4.10

[@diyjeff1838]

Let's get a gen 1 4runner, put a 3.4 in it and solid axle it. Unless you can find a 84,85.

[@chrismmurphy3132]

You wanna come work for me I need someone as picky as you in my shop lol

[@christophers.4007]

you're obsessed. Orange peel is normal...have you ever seen OEM bmw paint jobs??? "orange peel" should be named after bmw instead of oranges.

[@stevendouglas6593]

I watched a video where the painter was talking about having to match the amount of orange peel in the original paint, when doing repairs. He said European cars had more Orange peel than Japanese or American cars.

[@abcdefbcdefg8352]

@@stevendouglas6593 Always fun when a customer comes to you saying your panel looks too smooth lol

[@Dabetus01]

I used to do collision repair on new Volvos alot of warrenty paint so much orange peal you'll learn to love it haha

[@quadracer567]

Dosent orange peel occur when there is thick paint? A VW dont have as much orange peel but will get its paint chipped by a mosquito, and bmw dont get chips nearly as easy 🤔

[@christophers.4007]

@@quadracer567 orange peel is mostly caused by how the paint is laid down, not really the thickness of the paint.

[@ejtakach]

Is this obsession?

[@cookieintune]

What makes it perfect is practice

[@norcoredneck]

The cost is growing with all the material your using. It’s an older truck you plan on driving. Guess you can get your technique and equipment dialed in.

[@abcdefbcdefg8352]

Some people like nice things, and some people like beaters. Most people can appreciate both, so to each his own.

[@austinniemela]

I already had enough clear to redo it, might as well make it perfect!

So you switched paints, correct? Just seams like you've had quite a few issues since. Thinking of going back to previous brand? *NOT A PAINTER, NEVER PAINTED
