Stripping Paint from an Engine Bay and Proper Preparation for Paint
Вставка

- You'll see in this video the hidden issue that made Fred chose to strip this engine bay down to bare metal and the long process of prepping it for paint. This is one of the final pieces of the puzzle for Sarah-N-Tuned's Ford Ranger restoration project. Once Fred delivers the engine bay and cab back to Sarah, she'll be able to complete the assembling on its newly reconditioned frame.

Fred. You put more quality and care into an engine bay than a lot of people do on a body. Fantastic job.
I think Sarah's Gram would be delighted to see all the love and care being put into her truck - amazing work!!!
Fred your attention to detail is very impressive and your hard work on Sarahs Grams Ranger is very much appreciated . Her Ranger has a new lease on life
Wow ! You went above and beyond the call of duty !
Thank you for sharing and for going the extra step for Sarah 👍
i purposefully watched this BEFORE Sarah steering the cab out of your shot to next door. ALSO, nice that you open your video in a way that i'm sure makes her laugh because she wouldn't open with super zoom into a face..NICE, also like your soul / funk backing track in your vids. 👍
Thanks for the hard work on Sarah's Truck! Her Gram would be proud of the outcome! Lee
Great job Fred! Thank you for your attention to the details. My mom would be very pleased!
Thanks for helping Sarah 🙂
Nice job
A real pleasure to see a genuine craftsman at work. Used to be in that line of work a lifetime ago. Doing the prep properly and thorougly as it was done here makes the resulting job so much better.
Sarah's GRanger engine bay! Amazing...work of art! Bravo to your craftsmanship!
Thank you very much!

High praise indeed! 🙂
Great job, great video.
Absolutely love your intro
Hey this is grandma's truck. You made that look brand new.you have a great talent
Hi Fred, Outstanding work, that is a nasty ass job to perform. I have done this more than once but just once in the eng. bay. Sarah Is a lucky lady once again. Y'all seem like good people, again outstanding job!! Y'all must think alot of Sarah!
The truck owner seems to be pleased! Thank you for the model of gun you're shooting.
You Rock 👍. I watched this before Sarah's video. Gonna see her reaction next. She's gotta love it.
Very nice! Great job (a lot of prep work!).
wow. you really are a craftsmen fred.. brilliant work..
very cool! looks sweet!
Looks amazing, not many people would put that much work in, but it is well worth it. Great job
Thanks 👍
Another excellent video, Fred! Thank you for showing how to do things the RIGHT way without all the corner cutting that so many do these days.
Also, I think we all probably have stashes of old stock chemicals hanging around waiting for just the right job to come along. I know I have plenty of nasty stuff still on the shelf!
That is a GREAT piece of work.
Loving these videos... dunno why youtube never put you all on my radar... stupid algorithms.
That takes patience. Nice job.
Here because Sarah. Great job on the engine bay!
i like that rattle can spray paint.
Craftsman ship is so on point with you guys....know just a little about your trade but knows how to recognize hard working people..that i can and you did amazing as always...
Appreciate that
Awesome job
Sarah is going to be happy. Wait, she already is because this is delayed. 🤣
I enjoy these videos. 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice job guys !!!!
Great job. Gram would have approved. 👍👍
Excellent work all around with the prepwork and finish as well as the man behind the camera and editing equipment. I love that aircraft stripper and you know you’ve got the goods when there’s a skull and crossbones on the can and it burns your hands through nitrile gloves. Surprised that stuff hadn’t eaten though the can before you used it! Keep up these great videos!
Nice job. I have some of that in a cabinet too...just when you need the big guns!
Great job guys! Lucky you got(or got your hands on) that old style paint stripper! Hen's teeth that now I bet!
Sure Sarah will be really impressed seeing the attention to detail you put into her baby being it's so sentimental! Job came out looking great!
Cheers from London England 👍😎🏴
Tricky paint job... gotta have healthy elbows for that kinda work!
Great work and your video videography is getting much better and you seem more re!
5:54 it looks like the new M3 🤣
👌💙💙💙
Great work! It looks "nice". 😆 🤣
👍👊
👍👌👏 Pretty nice work for a pretty nice girl. ;-)
Nice work, turned out great! Out of curiosity, wouldn’t 30 minutes of abrasive blasting saved a whole bunch of work? Many years ago I worked at a blast shop that had a custom hot rod shop as one of the clients. He would bring in the body with bumper jigs that fit into a rotisserie. We blast everything we could get, rotate 90 degrees and blast some more. It takes a while and you couldn’t let heat build up in any spot but according to the client, we never warped any metal on over 3 dozen cars. Once we had bare steel we blew a coat of PPG surface tolerant epoxy on them and once dry shipped them back.
That said, I have done my share of chemical stripping and admire your dedication!
Abrasive blasting was not an option for this project.
Too bad I don’t lived in Apache junction anymore to let you take care of my vehicle paint job it needs
What rust converter do you use? I am doing something similar and have pitted areas I can't mechanically remove the rust.
Also I don't have a gun or booth. Id like to just scuff the rest of the bay and use something like self etching primer and flat black rustoleoum. Seem ok?
What was used to neutralise any rust on the bare metal before epoxy?
The paint is considerably thiner in the engine bay?
Did you put something on to convert the rust before paint?
phosphoric acid
How many hours went into that strip and refinish? Is it still possible to get that particular aircraft stripper?
A local paint shop found a stash of that stripper buried in their warehouse somewhere. They had 10 cans on the shelf...when Fred got there, there were 3 cans left so he bought the last 3!
dose this epoxy not require i wet sanding before colour like usually primers would ?
Most epoxy does not require sanding before color applied.
What rust inhibitor did you use? Do you us Ospho?
Ospho for sure!
the civic tho
Gotta really watch the methylene chloride paint stripper exposure it’s worse that the pant
💀 and crossbones! Yikes
I found a couple of those "old" cans of stripper at a yard sale. It was Sitting on the guys trash can. He said it was 40 years old and worthless. He happily gave them to me. New stuff is almost worthless.
I have yet to find a stipper that will disolve the paint in the engine bay of my 1962 Thunderbird. I dont know what they put in the paint back then, but wow.
Here because of Sarah n Tuned. Awesome work!
