Steve, thank you very much for sharing this very informative video and I will undoubtedly return to it many times to guide me through painting my '74 F250 which is nearing the completion of body work. This is exactly the method and finish I was searching for and there seems to be few left with this level of talent. Beautiful results. Best wishes from across the pond. I've liked and subscribed.
Hi Joe, Thank you for your kind comments it’s much appreciated,please send photos of the progress and results. I have a Facebook group as well that might be of interest seeing how other members went on with their vehicles. ( coach painting old cars ) The main thing is preparing ie primer undercoat and taking your time , most of all enjoy your self If I can do it anyone can, I had never done it before but I enjoyed myself that much I’m looking for another project to paint. Best regards Steve
Very informative video. Thank you for taking the time to post this. It's defiantly a dying art. My nan used to work on the buses back in the day and they would always paint them with 6" brushes!
I do seem to recall Rolls-Royce would use several layers of paint and sand it back each time as well to get a perfect, deep finish. However I think that was probably before filler primer etc. Enjoyed your video by the way, got a motorcycle tank to do so may give this a try if I can find a suitable paint. 👍
Yes you’re right Thomas Rolls Royce did use this method in the 1930s till 1970s I think, gets a brilliant deep shine,you could dive in to ! Good luck with the tank post a photo on here, I recommend craftmaster fantastic stuff.👍🥃
Yes I’m originally from Salford in Manchester Glad you liked the finished results, really anyone can do this! If you can paint a front door,you can do this technique.
What's the difference between coach enamel you use here and regular car enamel people spray on? I have a car I am wanting to paint but no spray equipment and your way seems to be much easier and just as nice in the end.
Do you mean rattle can enamel paint? If yes I have not used it to be honest, I know the paint you use by brush is specifically for painting cars and boats.
Thanks for sharing your work. The car looks great. My old car has some clear coat peeling so decided to repaint it. I sanded it down and painted the hood and front bumper with some enamel and a little penetrol. I used a short flock roller to apply and tip with a foam brush. The hood turned out pretty nice except two areas that I can see a little of a line where I did different sections. The paint has a nice shine to it and looks to me close to a factory finish. The bumper was more difficult with a roller and had a couple of runs. I am going to sand down the hood and bumper and try applying with a brush and tipping with a regular brush not foam brush. In another video, it appears that you paint with a brush then smooth with a tipping brush. This video it appears that you paint with a brush and tip with the same brush. Is that the case?
I used a 3 inch Harris paint brush,then tipped it with a 5 inch Hamilton tipping brush sometimes called a laying off brush. But yes your right I did use the same brush sometimes depending on if it’s only a small area,you can get away with it ( But I wouldn’t recommend doing that way) especially if you’re doing this for the first time 👍
I was interested to see that when you did the panels you utilised a tipping brush to even the paint out, yet on this occasion you appeared to use the ssame brush with which you applied the paint with. Was there a reason for this? Ta
Yes it’s because that’s all I had at the time, I know how to use any brush to achieve very good results. Hope this clears things up for you. Regards Steve
Yes exactly the same, I only did mine horizontally because the restoration guy took them off to do the floors,otherwise I would have painted them in situation. Hope this helps? Good luck with the painting if you need any help or advice please ask. Regards Steve
Hi Glyn, yes I did prime it and undercoat first, 3 coats of each before putting on the topcoats. All hand painted 100% with a 3 inch household paint brush 😂👍
Yes David, primer x3 Then undercoat x3 Then flatten with 800 wet and dry, next topcoats flatten each coat with 1200 to get a good key. Then lastly clear coat. All brush on! Hope this helps. Cheers Steve
you talk too much, i know its just nerves but it would be alot more pleasurable if you just told us what we came here for "how to paint a car at home cheaply", which you did do and done very well but all that yappin! Thanks for the video of how you did it, i did enjoy watching your show.
If I didn’t explain what I was doing, ie yapping, no body would know what and why I was doing what I was doing! Sorry I got on your nerves next time I will talk less I promise 😂😂

Nice work. I stumbled across your channel. I'm in Huddersfield. You sound lancs

@2194steve Well there's a lot of skill there .the old adage if you can piss you can paint... I think not.

@@2194steve Thanks for the quick reply. Very kind of you. Great, I will apply paint with brush and tip with another brush designed for tipping.

Is the technique the same for vertical panels? So glad I found your channel. I am inspired to paint my LandCruiser like this. Thank you
Yes exactly the same, I only did mine horizontally because the restoration guy took them off to do the floors,otherwise I would have painted them in situation. Hope this helps?
Good luck with the painting if you need any help or advice please ask.
Regards Steve
@@2194steve thank you, I really appreciate it!
What kind of paint or you using? I need to paint the roof of my truck
Hi Pauline I used craftmaster paint
awesome inspiring, what is the paint you are using.
Hi Clayton it’s called craftmaster 👍
@@2194steve thanks
Great videos and a lovely paint job. Did you prime before using the enamel pain and if so what did you use and was is hand painted too. Thanks Glyn
Hi Glyn, yes I did prime it and undercoat first, 3 coats of each before putting on the topcoats.
All hand painted 100% with a 3 inch household paint brush 😂👍
@@2194steve it looks amazing. Did you bare metal the car and what kind of primer did you use?
@@glynharding8109 have you watched all the videos from the start, they tell you everything and techniques, and the best way to paint your car.
@@2194steve I will watch them this evening. I only came across this one this morning. I have subscribed. Thanks Glyn
@@glynharding8109 cheers Glyn
Liking your work, do you need a primer if your painting a car the same colour?
Yes David, primer x3
Then undercoat x3
Then flatten with 800 wet and dry, next topcoats flatten each coat with 1200 to get a good key.
Then lastly clear coat.
All brush on! Hope this helps.
Cheers Steve
Did you use cellulose paint?
No it’s coach enamel paint
That looks fantastic! The finish is great - is that without polishing at the end?
Hi Robert, Thank you ,yes that’s straight out of the tin basically, No polishing at all
@@2194steve Well done! , ive tried this but always have to wet sand and polish - will try your technique and see if i can get a better finish
@@robertmic8601 Thank you, this paint won’t wet sand and polish it burns on the very last coat I put on a clear coat,which is also brush on.
Just subs
👍
Volume needs some work
Sorry Jon I do apologise, I didn’t realise to after filming! ☹️☹️☹️
@@2194steve No worries, just spoils it for other people to watch. I could just about hear it on full volume.
