Hint, run a ground strap, it will all but eliminate dust nibs. I painted several cars with absolutely zero dust nibs in a garage. And dozens with very few. That with the care you take you're looking at a $8,000 to $10,000 paint job out of you garage...
@@threeriverswrench learned this painting in a garage done as you did, in 1976, I noticed a spec of dust in the sunlight get drawn to the car like a magnet from.5 foot away. Seems painting a car draws static electricity, the ground strap takes it away.
Wow, that looks great, good seeing a 4th Gen getting some love! My 1st 75 Nova was a factory shade of lite green like that. Just sub'd, need to watch all the other content on this build.
WOW!....turned a bucket O bolts into a DREAM car.. So awesome and I know you are a Proud man... I would put a chair in front and just stare at it...Yep, I did that.... 1 more thing...when you sealed body in garage was the overspray on tools and stuff bad, or easy to clean cause I have a similar garage and Im always scared but it looks like yours is perfect after....
Thanks for watching! Not a lot of overspray. I probably should have put some plastic overtop of stuff, it does help keep the dust down, but overall not bad. Color and clear had a lot more overspray though. Better to be safe than sorry. It did stink up the inside of the house a little, but was gone pretty quick!
little tip from a paint tech. edge the panel after laying down the flat surfaces. that way any dry spray hitting the panel from the spray gun gets rewetted and wont be under the base and/or clear, helps minimize flaws.its esprectially helpful on the clear stage. also bring the air hose around behind you and drape over your right shoulder and hold hose behind you with left hand greatly reduces the possibility you will hit you freshly panted panel with hose or drop debris into panel.
BTW, my cut and buff video should be out in the next few days. If you see something I could be doing different or something I might be doing wrong, let everyone know. I want to put out some entertaining content but I also want it to be a little educational. Appreciate the feedback!
turned out really nice ...are you using glass cleaner to wipe down panels..?..if you do another car again look into a LVLP paint gun . they use less air be good for small compressors..
For my setup there really was no “wait” time for the compressor during painting. I thought there might be, but it worked out. I’d spray one coat on the panels, stop and step outside for 10 minutes so the paint would flash, then go back in and spray the next coat. No issues. Good question! Thanks for watching!
If you want look on my channel. I don’t have much on there but I do have my green 1977 Nova. My old Blue 78 Nova is on there too. Love your videos and your work ethic!
Base coat clear coat is junk. You want a good paint job do as I do paint with single stage and clear coat over it. It will out last base coat clear coat by a long shot.
Nice job
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Good 👍👍👍👍
I been painting cars for 20 years and I would definitely hire you at my shop Great job🤘

@@threeriverswrench Thanks so much!
That is really a quality outcome. If the mechanic thing doesn't work out, you have a future in paint.
Thanks so much!!!
Looks great 👍

Great advice! Gonna try that on the next project! 👍🏻👍🏻

Never thought of that before. Most videos show the panel getting edged first.
Doing some good work!
Thanks!! Busy sanding and polishing. New vid should be out this week!
Great idea with the plastic.
Best of luck with your project
Looks great! I can’t wait to get my fourth gen to this stage. I’m still collecting much needed parts and doing a very slow build!
Brother, I hear ya. Frank is 9 years in the making! Time and money!! We all wish we had more!!😁
What color is that green? Love it!
Thanks!!! Wish It had an actual name, all I have is a code from PPG.

How does you wife feel about that painting under the house?? 🤣🤣
She wasn’t thrilled. But knew there was no other option! 😁
turned out really nice ...are you using glass cleaner to wipe down panels..?..if you do another car again look into a LVLP paint gun . they use less air be good for small compressors..
Yep. Spray away glass cleaner.
How long between panels did you wait to let your air to build up? Any issues with your gun waiting between?

Excellent. Sorry to say, but please next time protect yourself a little more. well not a little, but a lot more. Those 2K paints are very very nasty
