Doing this on an old classic car for yourself would be soo fun. Doing it for someone else?,a different story. Thank you for all your tips and motivation
I have a car that needs a new paint job eventually. I’m tempted to DIY it all, but I don’t have most of the tools.
What are your thoughts on DIY body work, prep, and spray can primer, then going somewhere like Mayco for the actual paint job?
Definitely an option. There are some places that don't charge too much for a decent paint job. Spray can primer is fine, but I usually reserve that for quick touch ups as I like a thicker, higher build primer over bodywork. But, it is possible
@@AZOverland2017 thanks for the response!
When the time comes I’ll probably get some quotes just to make sure I know my options.
Anthony, it is clear that you are an artist. This work of yours is impressive to say the least.
I appreciate you sir 🙏
Want to paint a 2000 mustang Gt for Content?

Great videos. I'm thinking of painting an old BMW. How about polishing the color coat before applying the clear coat? or skip the clear coat altogether?
You definitely don't want to polish the color coat before clear. If it was going to be a show car, you could wet sand the color coat with a fine sandpaper before clear, but that gets very involved.
You can skip clear if you go with a Single Stage paint. That will be applied wet and produce a gloss.
First, War Eagle! Second, What a beautiful job. I am trying to learn everything I can before I paint my 97 F350. Thanks for the great videos
WE! Thank you, I appreciate it. Let me know if you have any questions along the way
Your not even cutting it, just dulling ir
2,000 will cut clear. Slower than a more aggressive grit, but it is also much easier to compound
This is where I realize I got ripped off working for the shop I did. All cars were wet sanded by hand. No power tools.
Your boss was probably tired of people burning through with the orbital and or buffer
@@matthewmccormick1147 no. We worked on one off restorations or show cars. After paint, we hand sanded everything. Just crazy the labor that goes into it and how much I got paid for it lol
@@novarocker247was it MACO? Lol
Another great video! This shows how you can do it yourself in your garage. I will be applying the techniques you have shown.
@@alexisschecter6554 Thank you!
You've made a very informative video series!!
I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos, because it pertains to my current lack of a paint booth.
Please continue your great work that you have accomplished!!!!
😀
Thank you! I should have a video out this month on a great, portable, and reasonably priced DIY paint booth. It will deploy in 5 minutes and be extremely effective
Thanks for watching
Looks nice! Most of my problems are from not doing a full panel at once. Just like a wall in a house, it's amazing how much a different angle can change things. On my roof, I've been worried about sanding off too much on parts that got just overspray and not a full thick coat, not wanting to go through what remains. Mine's looking good, but there is some texture seen when we are upstairs or when walking down the stairs. But I'll just go for it, with a fine grit, knowing that I can respray the whole roof with clear if need be.
Yours came out great. White seems plain to me, so I'd be tempted to go the fancy route of adding water droplets on the lower panels or something. But a zombie apocalypse FJ cruiser, I think he was based in Payson or N on 17, has been growing on me. Plain white is good for not showing scratches when the primer is the same color, and it keeps the car a little cooler in AZ. But one option is to go the FJ route, with a white roof and the rest with color. That said, I didn't like the sand color a buddy in Phoenix painted his old land cruiser, but I at least consider it these days. And he had an old white toyota pickup too, maybe '86.
Thanks for the detailed videos. It gives me some good quality work to aim for.
That's an interesting process. It is looking real good.
Thank you
Excellent, thank you.
@@josephbrown2045 Thanks for your feedback!
Nice job. It looks like it was done at a paint shop.
@@alonsonavarro2126 Thanks. I worked in a shop for about 7 years
Reminds me of my days in the eighties
@@gremlin1396 Me too, me too
Nice work. I like CSI Ceram-X polish. Use your wool pad and rotary or long throw DA first and then same polish and a foam pad with a DA to get out the swirls. Works absolutely great! Just need the one polish. Tom
I was actually looking at that one. Thanks for your feedback

Looks really good.
@@bigdaddysshop8180 🙏 Thanks

Great job brother, you done an awesome job and thanks for the tip of getting my garage ready to paint my 66 mustang. Again great job brother thanks for sharing my friend 👍🏻😎
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Good job there 👏 thanks for sharing that information very well explained thanks 😊
Thanks for watching!
I don’t know anything about painting a vehicle but to me you done a awesome job lm pretty sure there are others who love your work. Thank you for sharing with us
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Thanks for this very informative video, your t-shirt looks like someone snatched the hell out of you😅
Lol. That should have been in the rag pile
Pass on a tip,,, l just tried meguiars 110 compound and it's all l will use now, unbelievable results, very little dust and sling,, really looks like you compounded and polished, and it will remove 1000 grit sandpaper scratches, shine's like it's been waxed when your done, l found a rotary buffer with wool pad works best,, try it you will be sold like l am
Thank you. I was considering that compound as well. I will definitely give it a try
@@AZOverland2017 your welcome, your going to love it,, used it today on panel sanded with 1000 and 2000 with little buffer with soft pad and was all it needed , looks like l had waxed it with a few passes, never seen anything like it,, looks like mayonnaise and no grit at all . Well worth the money you don't need much..
The Trizac is crazy priced, but it does save a lot of time with the buffer.
Agreed. I was test some areas with different papers/grits and the Trizac definitely saved me compounding time with it's finish. I only used 2 for the whole vehicle minus the roof
I am watching your video for the first time❤❤
Thank you!
WDE
What's that mean?
@@AZOverland2017 war damn eagle- You are wearing an Auburn hat
@@ednovak6060 LOL. I'm familiar with War Eagle but not WDE. The hat was a gift from my sister in law who's a Professor at Auburn. Thanks for enlightening me!
how many hours would you say you put into this project? i'm asking because i'm thinking about painting cars myself, doing small projects for some extra money. also if you can, what would something like this cost the customer? bottom line in my head is what would a customer benefit by going to a private person instead of a body shop? thank you in advance! Incredible work, it was pleasure watching your videos and look forward to more content.
Thank you! You can charge less than a shop if the customer is not in a rush (if this is a side job) and your quality is on par or better than a professional shop.
My guess is I have about 60 hours into this, but that is only an estimate and includes filming. Cost for materials start to finish, not including labor is approximately $500. I would charge $3,500-$4,500 to do this for someone. It would depend on what kind of final product they wanted , color, and a few other variables. It could go down to $2,500 if it was a "quickie"
@@AZOverland2017 thank you for the reply and truly impressed with your work and attention to detail. I'm so glad I have your channel now, i'm listening to all your pro tips and advice. I have a lot to learn and look forward to your content. thanks again
@@elancarmel735 Stayed tuned for my next video. I am doing a really cool roll down paint booth. Almost done
hmmm....this gives me ideas for the Tacoma.....
It would look good all polished up
Well above my pay grade but cool to watch.
Thank you. It definitely takes some time to learn the different techniques
Thanks for the info Mister. I'm painting a car next week so all info helps me
Great! Let me know if you have any questions as you get going
@@AZOverland2017 the problem i have is the concrete garage roof is quite low
@@justafewdollars6726 Maybe deflate tires?
Amazing. thank you
Thank you!
question: what is the tint difference on the left front with the hood? 14:21
It is just reflections. Probably from the clouds above. The white is consistent throughout. Thanks for the question and good observation.
@@AZOverland2017 the car looks amazing!
@@tostyjoost Thank you
Nice job.
I appreciate it
Sorry if any of my hair got on your paint!
It was probably Shadow's
You must be useing really cheap clear if 2000 grit will cut it I've painted and cut and buffed many cars and 1000 is the finest that will work I've ever used 600
I showed the clear I used in the previous video when I painted this vehicle. Not cheap. Were you using low solids or high solids clear? Urethane, enamel, lacquer? I've sprayed all of them. I used to use 1,000 -1,200 when sanding and polishing when I did this for a living in the late 80's and early 90's. There are different products and different techniques now, than when I did it then. Much of what you use and how you use it will depend on your end goal.
@@AZOverland2017
Awesome job, man!
We used to use 1000 then 2000, on most jobs. Cut the orange peel then take out the 1000 grit sand scratches!
12:50 damn that is an amazing shot
I appreciate it!
