    This Fiero actually looks very nice with a fresh coat of paint. Only a couple small touch-ups not bad at all. Chad and Jolene keep up the great work. A lot of credit goes to Jolene for doing a great job on taping up the car.

    FYI: when I worked for Generous Motors I worked in the paint house, when masked the trucks for two tone we used an extra piece of tape just above the paper and tape and pulled it off as soon as it got to the end of the paint booth and the last painters would pull that tape off before it went into the ovens to get baked on, known as fine line tape. If it helps in anyway. Made a nice sharp line and didn't have to worry about pulling the paint off.

      Yes I'm just a shade tree auto painter for more years than I'd like to admit. But always lay down the strip a tape first so I can back off at the paper and then when I pulled a paper. Everything they pulled off could be done in a couple of minutes. Then come back and pull the initial tape line and carry a box knife just in case I need to cut the bridge on the paint. He didn't change the body on this one.

      I've had several Fiero cars over the years. Never one as shiny new as this beauty though! Fun cars to drive, although a bit underpowered... great in the corners too until you push it just a little to much and the rear end swings you around in a circular Wipeout. All part of the excitement 😂

    I worked with the guy that paints all of National Cycle's saddle bags. In the process of retaining the contract, we learned from the Sikken's paint company, that when you paint plastic molded parts ( such as the panels behind the windows) you need to heat treat the plastic to get the paint to adhere, as they put a release agent in the plastic, so it doesn't stick to the mold. Heat treatment temporarily removes this agent from the surface of the plastic, you then have about 20 minutes to get the paint on it before you have to heat treat it again. It was my job to do the heat treatment, and you could watch the agent suck back into the plastic. Without doing this we found that you could peel the paint off, with very little effort. Just saying. This turned out amazing for a free paint job. Tim should be really happy.

    Chad its Michael M. Here. I've had this happen to me in my 30 years as an auto painter . What I strated doing was when a car came in . I would always tape several areas and rip it off to check and see if I was going to have a paint lifting off problem BEFORE I did anything . What helped for me was to run the adhesive side of the tape over my jeans first reducing the stickiness. This wasn't always 100 percent effective but it was prob 95 percent. If I saw it was going to lift I would sand it all off in the area I was masking to eliminate the problem. Love the channel!

    @larrycarlston4044 2 роки тому +5

    I worked in body shops back in the early 80s to the early 90s. Old timer taught me to put the tape off at a 90 degree angle away from the paint. For example, when pulling the tape off the bumper, pull the tape downwards at a roughly 90 degree angle. That way, you will not tear the paint. And I always removed the paper from the vehicle first and then the masking tape. Paint looks good, nice gloss. Back when I painted cars, we used Dupont Centari for panels and complete paint jobs. The last shop I worked at bought a Sickens paint system to use on completes. We only had lacquer primer and enamel sealer, that was it. The products now are so much better. I enjoy watching your videos..thank you.

    Long time collision shop prepper here, we actually did it the opposite with taping the masked area first, then outline the edges last. Then you can pull the outline tape after it's sprayed with the paint is still wet enough not to pull up. Outline last helps to avoid the masking paper lifting allowing paint getting under. Theres also tricks like insulated wire tucked under the black rubber weatherstripping like on the windshield to lift it up. Folded up tape chunks wedged in the corners of parts like the ground effects to lift up the corners on those can help avoid future problems.

    The car looks good! I saw some good tips in the comments, such as undermasking the 2 tone, then putting a final piece of fine line 1/4 inch to be pulled immediately after painting. I was in the business most of my adult life (40 + years) and taught it for the last 6 years of my career. So, here's my 2 cents. Lol I'll call them "pro tips". Tip 1: before doing the final fine line, run the 3/4 inch tape across your pant leg ,take a little of the sticky out of the tape, it lessens the chance of peeling the fresh paint that's covered. Tip 2: stick some 2 inch tape to the inside edges of the wheel wells half way exposed, then use 36 inch paper, folded to shape and stick it to the exposed edges of the 2 inch tape (go over that with some 3/4 if desired for added strength). This isolates the undercarriage from overspray, and prevents dirt from blowout of the wheel wells during painting. I quit using wheel covers years ago. A little more time and effort, but makes for a much cleaner job.

    That GT turned out very nice. When I was younger and those were relatively new I wanted one but never got one with the V6. I did buy a couple of barbecue pits and flower planters. Especially the more standard fiero. That's what people use them for because they had such a bad reputation for catching on fire and the engine being right behind you. I do anything to cars 5 years old and the lady sold it to me for$300. When I called her on the phone my initial reason to purchase the car was just for the engine. I was going to use it and something else I think an old Vega. Kind of odd pen a 4-cylinder back into one of them when I used to yank him out and throw him away and put in V8. I got their car had like 20,000 miles on it or less. I gave her the money. Put it on the trailer went home checked it all out here is my daily commuter for a while. I never did my original intent with it because there's just too nice of a car. The insurance was high but another woman came by and I think I was in the local grocery store parking lot. I was single we struck up a conversation she was more interested in the car than me and she gave me like I think $3,500 for it. Maybe not quite that much but whatever it was it was ten time to more than what I paid for it and I had three months of use and was getting close to Winter. I'd see her driving that car from next four years. The car wasn't distinctive but she was. Plus she never took the sticker off the back corner bumper I'd put on. That's my fiero fire-O story.
