In younger years we'd paint our cars with what we called the 100 dollar paint job. A gallon of tremclad on sale, any old sand paper will do that's on sale, grab a gallon of varsol and give 'er. Well, in the end at least it was all one color. We'd all be back slapping each other saying oh ya that's really cool.....lol.
My Dad use to do that Use the Tremclad then add in Reducer to thin it out so that it could spray through the spray nozzle he painted his old Chevelle SS $11 paint job and it came out So Shinny like a Mirror, he didn't use a garage he did it on a very hot Sunny Day in the backyard, I remember with in 1 hour it was totally Dried to touch.
Varasol, now that's something I haven't heard in a long time! Back in the 80s dad used to bring some from the wire mill and I'd clean engine parts with it... I remember one time him bringing in a fresh can (bucket) home and told me to clean up an oil pan off a 396 bb. And I wasn't used to fresh varasol and look here....that stuff turned my hands white! It pulled all the oil out my skin 😅😅 dad said, you'll learn to stick your hands just in everything lol
@@newfie66xbox76 I figured that would turn out really bad. You don't want paint to dry too fast or it won't level out. As a matter of fact, sometimes it will dry before it even hits the surface.
I can’t even imagine how many hours it took to sand that rough finish down to where it would shine? That paint job had so much orange peel in it; I’ve seen smoother bark on an oak tree! Facts
Thats A LOT of orange peel brother. Always best if your inexperienced with painting and spraying to pick the slowest reducer possible. That way the material can flow out flat on its own . HOWEVER amazing job for what you guys used
@@chappelloutdoors3795 when the paint texture looks like an orange. Happens after most paint jobs unless the painter is really experienced and sprays even coats throughout the whole spray. Usually can just wet sand and buff it out smooth
Darn right brother That's a back in the day paint job right there That's the way we used to do it in our garages no spray booth visqueen water the floor.
Hope you got all the orange peel sorted out. It’s great you took the initiative in putting some love into this old girl. Best way to learn is to do it. Just prioritize sanding/prepping and gun settings and you’ll be golden
Just keep watching him and you will learn how it's done. Great job on this! $200, wow! Someone would have charged him 2000. You have to learn how to do it the cheap way.
Kobalt blue.. exactly what my J10 was originally painted.. its so pretty.. im going to rattlecan paint mine kobalt blue again with rustoliums newer metalic kobalt cans. Ive done my brush guard and roll bar with it and i loved it.
Well for starters, the paint looks rough due to low air pressure, big fan and and not enough reducer. You want a glossy finish? You add more reducer to make the paint even more smoother and make sure to lay it on wet, that way you’ll have a nice silky smooth finish, now for the clear coat add 30% of slow reducer, that will help atomize clear to give it that glossy finish, so basically this guy got a lot to learn.
I’m not an expert but I’d say no on the. Compression tank. Need a continuous duty compressor must guns need 10-12 cfm to work properly. “Which mine wasn’t” haha I used a 40$ harbor freight spray gun, and found someone with a compressor that would let me use it. Bought some tint at Napa. And used some left over clear from another job.
Ford Galaxy Blue? Looks good brother, the peel can be from a small compressor soon as the pressure drops its instant peel i found, lvlp guns help, best thing i learned is spray with high pressure and dont skimp on thinners, top coats should be thin like water
Was he screwed after the basecoat already? Or after base can you clear and then buff orange peel, or must you fix the base before can clear right..? Thanks for help
I really want to replicate this color on my Ford. I'm guessing it's just a black base and a clear coat with pearl additive? What was the blue color additive?
the rough finish came from the primer sealer coat if it was sanded a bit before the base it would have layed a bit nicer. maybe too high pressure or too large of a fluid tip also but 200 looks about right if you had most of the materials in the shed already. metallic isnt the easiest for diy, done a few paint jobs myself now plenty of mistakes and lots of orange peel. good on you for giving it a crack and putting the video up
Swank. Nice job, Hermano. I don't give a flying blank about the orange peel if it's one tenth the cost of a cheap pro job and it's keeping the rust (and bored troopers) away. That's 1800 bucks worth of shocks and bushings and tires and a carb and bearings and filters and brakes... Besides a lot of orange peel is nowhere near as embarrassing as "Authentic Patina" (Nausea).
Ya know, I never was a patina fan. I mean I see whows that seal the patina in with clearcoat and I'm like WTF, just throw some color down on that bad boy and shine it up. Fukkkkk Patina.
Can i put this color (or whatever) on my original color (black)? Or is it good if i put only one coat of black juste before? Thanks and sorry for my english I'm french Canadian ahah
I’m not very experienced at painting , but if you paint over anything it needs to be sanded very well or it won’t stick . Then needs to be dusted off and wiped with a fast evaporating degreaser of some kind .
Yea I do because they actually are trying it them selves if you don't try you'll never know so stop hating and keep scrolling😂😂...we get people at our shop from time to time asking for advice.
My dad had same truck but 4wd. Ordered it way he wanted it .. waited forever. Truck ate front end parts. Was back at dealership constantly. After warranty was up still broke all time. He got rid of it asap
Single stage acrylic enamel with a medium temperature reducer with a gloss hardner!! Dupont Centauri and a few drops of fish eye remover was the best!!
I think buddy used a airless spray gun tip on that cup gun or something has really bad orange-peel if I hadn't of watched the clip I'd thought it was bedliner coating on the body no-cap.
I desire one of these, so badly 😢, but with the single seat/couch to receive my girlfriend’ hug while 🎵🎶driving slow on Sunday morning 👍🎶🎵. And that’s the perfect size…street tires but still 4wd for snowy days or muddy situations. Manuals transmission, a warm stereo setup, working heater… just perfect
Hey! You wet the floor down! Hell yeah thats how you do it! extra bonus smooth tip. Run a regular old humidifier overnight before hand Super bonus tip, run a halloween fog machine a couple hours before
@@ikonik6286 yeah. Wetting down a floor keeps you from kicking up any dust and makes the paint job smoother. Most basic thing you can do is prepare your space the night before get everything ready and then soak the floor. Then first thing when you are ready to pain soak the floor again. Gently though. The humidifier reduces static by alot, that and the water being absorbed by airborne particles helps the particles fall out of the air. Start it up the night before as well. The fog machine does the same thing but on turbo and will get rid of anything left over.
For a DIY, this is great. My only criticism is I would have taken the bed off to get the back of the cab. I'm trying to get the inspiration to respray my Chevy. This is cool to see.
Def possible I think he means in materials not including the gun and all that. 1 gallon of black base coat around 80.00 1 gallon of clear coat kit 70.00 is 20-35 grams of color pearl Mica 15.00 Roll of paper 6.00 amazon Tape amazon 10.00 Def doable under 200.00
@@jasonhare4840you forgot plastic, reducer, wax and grease remover, tack clothes, sand paper, and tax for all supplies. Also the black must have been a sealer or primer, if not then once it dries you will see all kinds of things shrink back because of paint soaking into old paint. Ain't no way you gonna make it under 200.
Guys, the basecoat doesn't go on very wet and is not supposed to flow-out. The clear is what you want to flow nice and smooth. I Think the base is what you see in the video .Have a great day!!😊

6 to 8 hours. Kinda depends if single stage or what clear they used. My boss says Im slow as hell though.
Birch bark is smoother than that paint in fact 🤣
@@jackdaniels403 slow and smooth equals fast
humidity has a play in that that's why having a paint booth is easier

What is orange peel?
@@chappelloutdoors3795 when the paint texture looks like an orange. Happens after most paint jobs unless the painter is really experienced and sprays even coats throughout the whole spray. Usually can just wet sand and buff it out smooth
That's a new color it's called blue orange haze
Tyres came out nice.
Love color please share paint code and brand. Thanks
pretty good for what it is! no complaints here!
Im getting into painting, but I live outside the States. What paint gun and size compressor are you using ? Thanks for the video!
An 80 gal compressor would work great. And for paint gun an anest iwata lph400 is a great overall gun!
got to lay that paint down a bit heavier so it wets out and you don't get so much orange peel. that color looks awesome though, nice results for $200
Sorry to bother you, but could you list your materials and equipment? (I've got two old beaters of my own to paint) Thanks.
Darn right brother That's a back in the day paint job right there That's the way we used to do it in our garages no spray booth visqueen water the floor.
Only way to roll!
Came out looking great!
That color is amazing it wakes up the whole truck

Clean the floor, wet the floor put on a river suit. if you’re going to spend money on paint at least put some effort into cleaning.
@yvn_youngdexter2741 yeah, years of training, really hard, I stay away from that stuff
this looks amazing, real quick boss, what's everything you used to get this done, also can I use a compression tank for the painting?

Paint came from “Car quest “ and sprayer came from harbor freight

Try N1 paint code by ford. Color is called blue jeans metallic blue

It looks good, my only thing was that the black undercoat doesn't do the blue metallic justice, should have done white or light gray.

Looks like midnight blue. Great color choice
Sure is

Your cutting & buffing man was on point!
That blue would look so much nicer with gray primer instead of black.
Or white primer...
Lighter primer, or sealer, would mute the flake. All my heavy flake paint is over black.
Also, my 1986 F150 from high school was the same blue

Was looking almost good until he started clear coating, but the hand steady is what will make you better
Ain't no way you bought tape, primer, plastic, basecoat,clear coat, and reducer for under 200 😂
Yup! I was wondering the same. Tremclad works surprisingly well though.
Maybe the supplies, but the paint gun setup definitely blew out the budget.

1 gallon of clear coat kit 70.00 is

Turn your air pressure down , hood is all dry sprayed and textured like grip tape . Using dark and light grey primer will change tone of paint .

What’s the paint color or code if you got it?
Midnight blue. 80s ford color , got it at Napa .

She looks good man 👍👍😎😎😎😎
If you use small air compressor it can give you orange peel just wandering if that was a issue
