    As a painter in a body shop, I commend you for doing your own work, especially in a home garage! However, invest in a good spray gun, and you will get even better results!!!
    Last suggestion, Pull your door down onto a fan, and block the space beside the fan with some plywood or something, and you’ll get much cleaner results as well. I’ve sprayed many many vehicles in places like this, so I’ve learned the tips & tricks on painting in a shop that’s not ideal… 😂 Great Job!!!

      @tripleeathletics Рік тому +1

      No problem Sir, You earned my Sub! I have them all, and I could tell you which are good spray guns and which that aren’t. However, You’ll have to pick one that suits you best. Tell ya what.. I’d be glad to send you a few to test out and see how you like them and then you could send them back to me! If I were you, The first spray gun I would purchase is the Ani F-160! Everyone needs a good budget gun, and the F-160 is unbelievably priced at under $150 Non digital, and around $250 for the digital, and they perform better than 75% of the guns I have that were in the $700-$800+ range. I’m not sponsored by them in any way, Just sharing my experiences with them all. They have a premium gun that’s super nice & sprays great, But the F-160 is unbeatable in that price range… Lmk Sir, I’ll be glad to help out any way I can! I may sell, or possibly even give you one of my older guns!!! Take care Sir!!!
      P.S. Funny I ran across this video, Because there’s an Original, Orange 68 Firebird sitting behind a house near us that’s been sitting there for many years just going to waste… I tried to buy it years ago but they just weren’t quite ready to sell it then…

    Car looks good i have done many cars a run is to be expected at some point. I was taught you walk a fine line with runs if putting on paint correctly. One tip not a criticism when doing vinyl roof cars always paint the roof just like the rest of the car. This gives you one more barrier to avoid rust, the factory didn't that's why vinyl roof cars develop rusty roofs. Good color choice though love the color.

    I just stumbled on your channel after a long search on how to restore a classic car with zero experience. I'll try to make a long story short. My knowledge of working on cars is very limited. Years ago, my dad bought a rundown 1968 Firebird convertible. Very rusty, bad shape, & not running (400 engine, not original, & frozen). He was going to teach me how to work on cars by working together on it. But then he passed. It's a bittersweet inheritance. I have no knowledge of what I'm doing, & no longer have his guidance, but I'm determined to see this through. I just don't know where to begin. Your videos appear to be exactly what I need. You have so many videos, & they look like they'll be gems guiding me through this process, but I honestly don't know which video I should start with (& an order to follow) to begin this project. I can't emphasize enough what an absolute beginner that I am & would appreciate any suggestions you have on order of viewing. Thank you so much for providing these videos!

    • @VinylVillageGarage
      @VinylVillageGarage  2 місяці тому +1

      The sentimental value alone makes it worth while to try for sure, sorry for your loss of course. You have a great car to build plus there is so much aftermarket support for the 1968 Firebird so that makes it easier to build. So where to start maybe The play list for the Great pumpkin which is a 1968 Firebird coupe would be a good place to start. I did probably 80% of that build all on UA-cam so it will cover a lot of the process. Now the current build
      Is a convertible so it will show you a little more on that part once you get to that part.

    I misread the title and was expecting awful and was feeling the pain you were going to suffer fixing it. I finally got it after seeing such a great result, haha, I am a little slow today. Nice job, looks fantastic. I am amazed you get such great results in your garage with the door open. I get so much "stuff" in my clear spraying in my garage. I need to upgrade my home built booth to some type of filtered down draft air flow. I used to be the king of runs and hated them and the fixing process. I recently upgraded to a DV1 clear gun with the C1 & C2 caps and it was night and day difference for my novice skills with my cheaper gun. The C2 cap is the one to use. Sure that $750 eBay price was a bit steep, but the result is pretty amazing even when I think I am putting on too much and will surely get a run. It just flows out smooth with a factory peel look. No buyer's remorse. Easy to cut and polish for the smooth as glass look for your pretty birds. I hope the pumpkin finds a great home when you are done and look forward to your next project.

    Just finished one in my garage, silver metallic, one of the best I've done so far. Good thing... it's my own car! Some reason, warmer than normal, I got drips from the nozzle 4 times. Had to stop & sand it out then each time it dripped again same area.

You sand it and hit it with the compound it will be fine. Been watching guys dry sand the clear with 800 on a DA ??????
