I really rate the Upol Gravitex. Remains flexible and you can add paint when applying to colour code etc. Just a small point on the front arch, those pitted lower sections on the bottom edge will most likely have rust in behind. Might be worth having them cut off and new metal welded in to save you hard graft going to waste. Great videos though and just shows what you can do in your garage!!
Thanks buddy I was thinking about getting him to cut it out on both sides whilst he’s here 👍 couple of small bits to weld , I might invest in a welder and learn
Your doing a great job lad, it is hard work at first but you'll get there looking at your progress . Cheap guns are a waste off money but i do it for a living so don't there . Also keep your area your working in clean makes life so much easier .👍
Black Raptor for underneath, really hard wearing, the colour match Raptor is a bit off so either stone chip and spray over with the red or keep it black, personal preference really
I've watched all your videos so far mate, you seem to have an issue with the upload video quality? Even on your other videos which have the option for 1080p quality, they still look pretty pixelated on a larger screen.
Nice one fella looks proper nice and very thorough. That cars gonna be well sorted for many years . I never used a spray gun either . I actually bought myself a cheap streetka convertible that the lacquers a bit tatty on its not rusty so I’m gonna have a crack at it when the weathers better looks like great fun 👍
Bare metal exposed starts to surface rust depending on moisture in air also brush seam sealer on over lap joints as primer sprayed never seals properly or brush the primer into the over lap also cover your head with hooded paint suit and face with vasolin helps keep over spray clinking to your face skin , try to keep gun at arms length to keep overspray out of your eyes

Thanks mate , i try to keep it as clean as possible but when your working it can soon get a bit messy I try to clean as I go
Tintable raptor is the best option
RS Turbo...lovely. Following along now for sure. Regards from Ireland.
Thanks 🙏
Hi mate what size compressor have you used? Also what spray gun and product? Thanks
100l compressor , mipa epoxy primer , £20 spray gun of ebay
Be nice solid turbo when ya finished it and shutz stone chip floor buy gun and away you go
Great job! Well done! The first time I ever sprayed I got more runs than not 😂
🤣 thanks mate
For underneath I use black direct to rust hammerite.
For your first time spraying you did a brilliant job I would be happy with that
go with the raptor on the underside, if you want it to last, but make sure everything is clean clean clean. good job so far, keep it up

Looks like a mission, get some tack cloths to wipe down before spraying.
Cars looking good mate 👌🏽
Thanks mate
Can you weld the sunroof up.
Another great video, where did you get the plastic tat cover from? And the expoxy primer thanks
It’s mipa epoxy primer can get in on eBay and it’s just a static painting sheet 👍
Cars looking well pal, look forward to the next video
Thanks 👍

For some reason it’s still uploading to 4k mabey it will be ok in a 30 mins when it’s finished
Is it better now mate ??

Nice to see you doing brilliant Work can’t wait for the finish brilliant content
Thanks mate
@@Tobyyjamess you’re welcome enjoy this love old school cars

Thanks mate , yeah it’s good fun quite enjoyed it once I had the gun set up right , hope you get on well with yours 👍👌
Gravitex A lot prefer it to the raptor stuff anyway. Plus it’s cheaper.
Thanks mate I will give it a look
Excellent work the other part of the gun is the fluid nozzle also but a Tack cloth they work indeed .
Thanks mate , yes I need to go buy some 👍
@@Tobyyjamess the other part of the gun fluid nozzle
Quick tip one section at a time , brush prime as you go stops flash rust happening
Flash rust ??
Bare metal exposed starts to surface rust depending on moisture in air also brush seam sealer on over lap joints as primer sprayed never seals properly or brush the primer into the over lap also cover your head with hooded paint suit and face with vasolin helps keep over spray clinking to your face skin , try to keep gun at arms length to keep overspray out of your eyes
Also clean and seal rust on booth sides off repair to prevent rust from breathing (rusting again)
Would it not have been quicker to get the shell dipped ..? Another great video by the way 👍🏻👏🏻
It would have been quicker but also another 3500£££ so I’d rather do it myself lol
@@Tobyyjamess blimey didn’t realize it was so pricey to get it dipped . Fair comment saves funds for other parts of the build . 👍🏻😉
That was my thoughts lol thanks for the comment mate appreciate it 👍
Really enjoying the videos , respect to you mate , it’s a lot of work and effort 👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻😊
