In this video we take a Porsche 911 Carrera (996) and completely give it a paint make over. It is quite the transformation. The paint on this car was looking really bad. It had major clear coat peeling, some had been sprayed over, some hadn't. There was major sun damage, and the removable hard top was a different color entirely. This car was looking very tired with all of these cosmetic issues and its foggy and yellow headlights. It was time to give this German icon the love and attention it deserves. We started by stripping the car down and removing everything that had to come off to prep it for paint. We sanded the body and the headlights, did some dent repair for the odd ding the car had and smoothed everything out before taping and masking everything on the car we didn't want to get overspray on. Then we threw on some primer where needed and started painting. The car received three coats of base coat red paint, then three coats of clear coat. When the car was dray enough we removed the tape and masking. When the paint had a bit more time to harden up, we reassembled everything putting it all back together the way it was, but now with a beautiful new paint job!
We have another project coming out next week so keep an eye out for that!

Man your channel should have WAY more subscribers. I was shocked to see how many you had while watching through all your videos. I gotta send my 94 Toyota to you guys one day!
Thank you! That's really encouraging. We'd be interested in seeing the Toyota! What is it you have?
2023 in a matte lavender would look great! I want my current 2015 Honda Fit painted lavender. :)
That would look good! You'd definitely stand out!
Emerald green fs!!!😮💨
I think they currently sell them with that as a color option! They look great
Nice work. Total transformation.
Thank you! Ya it looked so sad to see the car looking so tired. But it really transformed and finally looked as it should. Would be nice to do another one actually.
Nice color in 996. good job👍🏻👍🏻
Hey! Thanks for watching, and thanks for commenting!
1986 Turbo in White with Black check interior.. perfection!
Never seen that interior before! Is that something that was ever offered? Or has it been done custom? That sounds really cool!
Was a standard trim in the late ‘70s & ‘80s… Porsche Pasha pattern… proper old school psychedelic pattern!

good content. welcome to youtube
great editing. music is very loud.
Hey, thank you very much. Glad you like it!
Ive only pained like 3 of my cars and never cleared coated them. Im woring on a 1971 pontiac ventura now and I am differently going to clear this one. WOW Nice
Ya not every car needs it. We're you mostly using single stage pant before?
@@RustedRides not sure what it was. I got it from the auto parts store. Been a long time ago
Matte grey
Like a dark matte grey? That'd be cool. I've seen a porsche cayenne in a really cool gloss grey, I can't remember if it's called stale grey or nardo grey.
Lookin’ sharp guys! I’d have to go with the classic 911 Martini Paint Scheme. Always one of my favourites! 🎉
That is a classic!
Not a huge porsche fan, but matte black always looks good. So any matte black porsche.
What would be your dream car in matte black? I have a feeling you will like the color choice in Next fridays video 😉
@@RustedRides any old Mustang
I really like the red paint scheme! my second choice would be a yellow!
Definitely diamond white 🙌🏻. Great job guys. Looking forward to seeing the next project
That would look sharp! Thanks for watching!
I learned something about the headlights. The rims I think would look better yellow or black
I’ve done the wet sanding and rattle can clear, worked great on everyone’s vehicles that I did , but when it came to mind, it hazed and cracked all over , always seems it’s only your stuff that gets fucked up 😂, great job on making your videos,👍🇨🇦
That's often the way isn't it! Sucks when you put in so much time and effort and it doesn't turn out the way you planned
Hey guys! I saw your comment on my post on Matt's channel and saw you have a new channel. I decided to jump over and check this Porsche out. This video overall really surprised me on how good the editing, music, and transitions worked. I was trying to figure out the accents, and it made sense seeing the Canada plate at the end. Lol. Not sure if you recorded in 4K or not. I've watched thousands of vlogs over the past few years from all the top channels and smaller ones. You guys have a great start here. I'd like to see that paint cut and buffed after in 4k. Looked great even in a garage with minimal trash. Im always happy to offer any positive reinforcement when i can. This actually gave me a vibe of watching an episode on Discovery channel like the old American Chopper. Really nice guys!
Hey! Thank you for checking out our videos! Yes we are from Canada haha! Glad you liked the content, and that is great that you think our production quality is good. We are recording in 4k for the most part, but I think on this video not all of it was and we had to upscale some of the footage. The fact that you've been watching videos from all the other top channels and still think ours is good is a real complement. And I know it might sound biased but I think we do a pretty good job without proper facilities. We'd love a paint booth and updated shop, but we work with what we got haha. Maybe one day! Really appreciate you taking the time. And I saw you left a few comments! We'll respond to those as well!
I love them all but I'd choose a brand new GT3 RS in blue
Great choice! 🤘
Yellow, Rexlex yellow what was used in 2001 New Beetles.
Right on. There is a yellow 911 turbo on instagram that was pulled out of a river. The guy was documenting fixing it. I wish he did youtube. But it's called something with "Lemon" in the title
Wow great job guys! I'd take a red just like you did in the video!
Ya red is classic and this one turned out great! Thanks for watching!
Nice job, looks 100% better than it was. What are you using for ventilation in your shop when painting?
We have two barn fans ejecting the air, and two windows with filters on the oposide side that let air in...kinda just working with what we got!
for me its a tie between yellow, orange, and that chalk white
yellow would be my choice for a 986 boxster, orange for a gt3 rs and chalk white for any 60s - 80s 911.
Great breakdown, you are right, the year makes a big difference. Wouldn't paint a pre 90s 911 nardo gray, but I like it on a modern 911
Hey, if I’m getting a Porsche, I’ll take any colour!
Haha true, just to have one is cool, who cares about color!
Wrap the car in matte black and I will pick it up right away!
A matte black porsche always looks good! The porsche Mat Armstrong just did is gorgeous...but also costs insane money
1989 Porsche 911 G. In Candie green.
Great year! I'll check out the color!
@@RustedRides that would be the color id pick. Not sure if it came in that color from the factory.
porsche has a chalk color that I like.
Is that the kinda off white? I think I might know what you mean. It's not grey, but it's not white..? If we are thinking of the same thing, I really like that one!
I like the magenta and my new/old low mileage Escort is a bit darker. How's this color for your alloy Vibe wheels? Maybe darker as I feel like light colors down low makes it look unstable?
I hear staying the floor down with water cuts down on dust. Is that true? Anyway I think the is a complete transformation
Ive only ever used the paint guns with the paint can on the bottom of the gun. Is he one that has the can on top easier to use???
They are easier to use and uses less paint and less overspray. There is more to it I'm sure. But yes, uses less product with less waste
This really is not critique, not as such, but I would like to see this car get a wet sanding paint correction as there are dust nibs in the paint that can be seen from Mars. Apt as it is the red planet.
I do get that this is done in a dusty garage but It would kill me to see this daily and know that it would be a weekend and it would look show room fresh.
Hey, thanks for the feedback! I think that is a good idea. In a future video we will have to show a wet sand and polish and really show off the glass reflection the is possible. Thanks again for the comment and for watching!
Hello. What grit of sandpaper have you used for sanding?
We used 600 grit. No major rust or corrosion to deal with
964 Guards Red
I feel like 9 out of 10 factory paint colors are either bland as hell or else red that a child could splash on any bright color, other than red, with a brush and still improve the vast majority of cars. Especially that awful metallic grey business suit kind of color that dangerously is almost the same color as asphalt. white is bland but safe enough in summer, but disappears in snow so unsafe in the North.
I agree there are a lot of bland colors out there. There was a study that showed that when the economy is doing well, people are more likely to buy a more colorful vehicle, but more likely to buy a bland color vehicle if the economy isn't doing as well. Also I think people choose bland because they think it will do better with resale? Maybe? Just a thought not a fact haha
@@RustedRides Well you have your work cut out for you repainting all the bland cars in bright colors. As for resale, I find small and simple cars like Yaris do the best as I would have just bought one if I could find one at a reasonable price, and they seem to be giving away fancy cars like Jaguar that are hard to maintain.
Doesn't red cost more to insure? as by day it triggers road rage and by night it turns grey and disappears, which is why OSHA construction equipment is orange or yellow but not red, and fire engine red predates their realizing this, so some modern departments have tried to get away from red. I get frustrated on the used car market when it seems like 3 out of 4 brightly colored cars are red, and the rest are bland. This 911 is just pink enough to be passable though, not quite for women only.
Red is a more expensive paint, but I don't know about insurance. I never knew that about red and road rage and day time night time stuff. Very interesting though!
@@RustedRidesred receptors in the eyes need the most light.
i dont wanna be that guy but its a Porsche not a porsh
Haha I know! I have been saying that since I was a kid. A lot of people in my area refer to it that way. I did say it correct once in the video... Old habbits die hard... I also only get "audi" correct 50 percent of the time
Wheels?
They were from a Carrera 4s
Hello. What grit of sandpaper have you used for sanding?
Duplicate comment in my inbox I think. We responded to the other one.. But ya.. 600 grit
