Looks like good spray technique. Remember, if you don’t get in one pass then do it again. Much better to put 4 or 5 coats than one thick coat. Paint takes 32 days to dry. When sprayed on thick only the top surface will cure. Engine heat will cause the underlying paint to burn and peal.
tileman17 Go time! My wife went to the gym on a Saturday morning , and my buddy asked if he could drop in ( with his helicopter ! ) I said perfect timing ! The kids loved it! When my wife saw the video she said “you did that on purpose. “ I said no just good timing! Love the restoration I’m working on a 69 cj5
I painted my CJ2A OD Green in a similar paint booth! I constructed the booth out of 2x2's screwed together with painters plastic stapled on. I did it in the summer and it was extremely hot in the paint booth. Luckily OD green is very forgiving!
My wife is left watching the dull and predicatable Eastenders, whilst we on the other hand get to watch the next exciting instalment. Jeep Nutters very own You Tube soap... Thanks great stuff.
Glad you talked about the thick paint on unrestored jeeps. I don;t understand some restorers attempts at doing a concours restoration on such a utilitarian vehicle. This guy may as well be spraying paint with a garden hose: ua-cam.com/video/PfpC3vaaAko/v-deo.html
Well done and damn right on the Cheato's. Glad we have seen video's coming after this one as confirmation that you survived the toxic hot box. On a serious note: 'Willys MB is OD green and GPW has light 'cast iron' grey paint specs?
Great intro, great sense of humor throughout the video, give that man an oscar. Most importantly, thanks for sharing the progress of your project, looks fantastic. Hope your wife leaves more often for shopping. Do you have any idea when we hear that engine running?
if this came from Cliff it will probably be "Tony Sudds"..Matt/ satin . Tony reconed it was a perfect match to some original examples he had ..Just done the same job on an engine but was able to the Sun to warm up my block.. Looking great
My 1956mga: Yes Tony being in the motor trade had good paint matching contacts, we found a patch of untouched OD up under the dash,(so it was not affected by sun), of a Jeep and got that colour matched, the problem of course is that even the original paint varied from batch to batch, but the colour is what is was when it came out of the factory in 194-, so we can be sure it is right, Chris B.
Aristotle , daiginese and the guy who invented Cheetos ! 👍totally nailed it ! They tried to keep you down by defining you as the British guy who spends all his money on rusted junk . WHO's LAUGHING NOW ! Well done . Good show . Great job . You've just gained another subscriber and a like from across the pond . Fabulous content . Thank you . Hope my two jeep projects , although not MB's or GPW's ( cj5's to be precise ) come out half as well as your builds , they'll be satisfying . I think your work is premier and you settle for nothing less than your own expectations . Appreciate that knowing the level of effort involved to accomplish the goal . Rock on mate !
What a good idea, would not have thought of that! Not sure why you are classing yourself as "middle-aged", by your gauge I would be one-step from the grave! An authentic job, well done!
@@Greendot319 I can't say how true that is. The 47 I bought slammed into a tree and flipped about 26 hours after I bought it. Got it home and it started and drove
Great advice, keeping your tool clean 🤣😂🤣.....But the low grade porn music ??? Come on man, you should have used Sweet Home Alabama as your back ground music !!!!....Also how you gonna fit your tub into that shelter ?....May be time to hire a storage unit for the weekend !
He said that at the start of the video....but if you can get to a professional paint supplier just ask for a "lustreless olive drab for high temp automotive/engine enamel"....then it's just a matter of working out the shade of the colour. I had to get mine custom made because the US Jeep parts suppliers won't send paint overseas and nobody in Australia supplied it. I can supply a photo of my paint codes though they might be Australian codes, I'm not sure...but it'd be worth asking a paint supply store if the codes are international as my paint is supplied by Dulux. Post your email address or join the International Flat Fender group on ebay and post there.

All very true, thanks! Matt
Looks great. I have been watching your channel for some time now and loving this build you are doing. Keep up the awesome work!
cheers, very kind!
Remembering what you started with..... Outstanding preservation!
great intro how many guys have sat waited for till the wife was gone out and then yelled IT"S GO TIME!
so true

there is no limit to mans ingenuity when trying to restore an old vehicle! ;)
"toxic hot box" that's funny but so true. looks great!
cheers, pleased with it, i'll look at what you mentioned to me in the last video in the next video ;)

I accompany you from Brazil. sorry for my English. I would like to know the name of this ink. green??? I love is chanell... Show
Unfortunately it has no name but it is available in the UK, sadly a long way from Brazil :( thank you for your kind comment! obrigado
@@Greendot319 I thank you for the affection in answering, and congratulations on the channel.. Muito obrigado pelo comentário .. Amo este canal.. Show
Keep your tool clean...it's important in life. Lol That's going on my refrigerator door. :)
During the war they could fully paint a Sherman from start to finish and drive it out in 8 min using banks of UV lights.
Looks fantastic to me.
cheers!

Thanks, well hopefully by May is my intention but it all depends on getting the engine in the jeep and I have another baby coming in Mid April!
@@Greendot319 I hope the costs of a growing family don't cause you to sell the jeep. Congratulations!
@@Greendot319 Congratulations! That's the best excuse to make us wait as long as it takes... all the best to you and your wife!
Exciting! Well done. I'm enjoying the heck out watching you work
cheers!
The air tube and oil filter bracket should be black
Not always!

Wish me luck, going to look at a 47 cj2a tomorrow.
if its got wheels and it can move it will be fine!
@@Greendot319 I can't say how true that is. The 47 I bought slammed into a tree and flipped about 26 hours after I bought it. Got it home and it started and drove
just curious, how come you didn't spray red oxide primer first?
As Far as I can tell the Engines weren't primed as a unit, just some individual components were like the chain cover etc. but I could be wrong
Same for the engines ive worked on^^^
Beautiful job,
Very nice! Looks great!
cheers
Looks fantastic
Did swmbo tell you off for overspraying the drive lol
I've camouflaged it
Beautiful!
I'm loving it

Coulda done it in the kitchen ...it’ll be fine.
Keeping yor tool clean, are we still talking about the paint gun.
I think it applies to a number of things!

Yes, but what's it actually saying to you ?
@@incomingshell3268 "Get off your ass and go work on your jeep". So I did. too bad the axle guys are a month behind schedule.

Great idea. Sometimes husbands have to eat a shit sandwich for the wife, but once you get used to the taste a little mayonnaise goes a long way.
interesting metaphor!
