Coming along now looking good, It's all getting exciting now, 355 almost on its way. You are going to love the 355 stroker. Doing a grate job on the body work, but don't skip the stages.
This is what I do. 40 80 180 shaping it finding lows etc keep repeating these steps, then when I think its good I hit with two or three coats of high build and block the hole car by hand 180, now is when i start using guide coat and block it with 320. 320 you are still shaping it (to a small degree) but most importantly blocking it with 320 will show you how good or bad your panels are,(your not going to fix areas with 320, you will need to go back a step) so once you can block the hole car with 320 and find no problems, the job is done. There will be no wavy bits or lows. Then when it comes time to paint, I'll buzz the hole car with 500 using a interface pad (500 on an orbital sander will give you the same finish as blocking with 600). and I use 3m super fine hand pads to finish of all the edges etc. Unless your painting candy's or DNA special paints etc. 600 is plenty unless your paint recommends 800 but I doubt it. You can go the extra mile and wet sand it with 800. But I would not go to 1000. To many guys wet sand with 600 with a small block and end up blocking waves into there job!
P.S. I only write this to help or confirm with what you are doing. Can't wait to see it in colour, awesome job.
Ha thanks Mark I was waiting for your essay 🤣 don't worry that's a good thing, I've stuck to your advise and I'm in a good spot because of it. So Thankyou. I wanted to avoid dust from here on in so hence the wet sand but I might just cover the new paint again and run a 320 which I did intend to do but just by hand. I was then going to do 500 then 800 wet. But could just got to 500, I have been using guide coat to reveal the scratches as I go with 240 grit. That helped heaps and now it's just very fine scratches left. Cheers
Looking great. Fantastic job. I bet you are getting excited now!!
THnaks mate, yes definitely getting excited and a bit nervous but looking forward to spraying it now. Should be fun!
Brilliant job mate. Been following along as my WB is at the same stage. I hope mine comes up as good as that. Always hanging out for your next video. Keep up the good work mate.
Thanks mate, hopefully get another one out in the next 2 weeks, getting it back on the chassis, can't wait. Good luck with yours👍
Looking great! I like the way you film and edit the videos too
Thanks Tony👍
Looking fantastic mate. The under side would be better than when it was new, by a long way. It's going to be very rewarding when that colour goes on. Getting closer.
Thanks Ray, yeah would be good to see a stock one to compare, looking forward to the colour now👍
Phenomenal job, mate! Looks amazing!
Thanks 👍 it's good stuff.
Good job. Hanging to see the colour go on !!
Thank you! Cheers!
The back came up nicely. The WBs were body colour in the back, mine has had that brown/black fleck stuff put in it though. You can always tell a real Ute driver by the way he treats the back of his Ute and how he treats his tonneau cover. Mine always has a couple of wool packs and some cardboard in there to protect the back. It will take years for the tonneau to rub the paint off, mine has nearly 300,000 on it and it is hardly rubbed, but be careful when tying it down, finger nails are sharp. The Holden rope system is by far the best, I have had all types. The clip on ones are a pain in the bum and look terrible in my opinion. You can’t get them on when it is cold. The clips along the top are just wrong (excepting behind the window though). Looking good. Jeff
Thanks mate, yes I did know they were same colour as body out of factory but I figured it would just scratch over time so just wanted to protect it and use it if I need. Cheers
Nice job mate 👌it’s looking mint
Cheers mate!
great work mate
Thanks mate👍
That raptor liner turned out great man, the only thing I can fault you on is you could have put that tape line like 5 mm down from the edge to give you an easier edge for taping up for your base coat. Also you want your clear coat to overlap tour basecoat by a few mm. You don't want your base and clear to just stop at the same place otherwise you can end up with a big hard line. Maybe mask the raptor with a soft edge tape line. A soft edge is when you fold the tape edge over itself to create one edge of the tape not stick and it creates a softer edge instead of a hard line. (refer to gunman videos on making a soft edge piece of tape, easy as)
Hope this makes sense. There is a technique to doing it. I've been doing it for years and years. What are you going with the fire wall and engine bay. Black fire wall? Doing a great job man, if you have any old panels practice doing your base and clear. 🇭🇲👍
Cheers mate, yeah I did think about that after I saw the line. I did do a soft edge tape actually which worked really well but yeah I didn't think about course finish of the raptor causing issues with the basecoat tape line. I guess there are going to be mistakes, part of learning on the job, but hopefully it will feather in a little using the soft edge technique. Cheers mate🤙
Sweet as bro... Going great guns!
Bloody Rad support panels are shocking. Guess they weren't thinking about how long they're going to last. I've had 4 lately for 2 Holdens , all of em stuffed.
Thanks mate, Yeah i was holding out on that Rad support until last hoping i would come up with a solution but not to be, should'nt be a hard fix, just a pricey repair panel!
As a painter go 800 wet. Go too fine the paint wont stick.
Yeah I was thinking that might be the magic number! Cheers
That tray was perfect, why did you go rough....?
I like the durability of the raptor liner, it's not going to be a show ute.
Hey mate, hopefully I get started on my own wb 81 project soon, just wondering how much money you’ve spent so far on it minus the motor
Hey mate, tools panels and parts probably around 10-15k I reckon maybe more.
Looking good Mate keep up the good work!
For the life of me i cant seem to find you on instagram.....
Cheers mate!
Barnesys_builds is the Instagram.
Cheers
@@BarnesysBuilds got it!
Cheers Mate
Looks good mate, how many bottles of raptor liner did you use on the arches n the back ?
Cheers mate, i used 3 bottles in total for the tub and guards.
@@BarnesysBuilds righto mate cheers getting hard to find a good rad support these days
@@snowyashton2904 Definitely, WB ones for some reason seem rarer, or maybe it was just my search.
@@BarnesysBuilds they’ve probably all rusted out haha my commercial single head light one is buggered but the other one I bought with a full front is good so I’m happy bout that.
@@snowyashton2904 hopefully rare spares get onto it, a lot if cars will need them soon!
Keep the colour.......
I haven't watched the end😁
Oh no you brought the liner all the way up.....
Nar, but seriously it looks awesome and at the end of the day, it your car and you are building it for you.
Keep up the good work
@@bpa9449 yeah too late! I'm happy with it anyway so all good!
Hey mate I’ve got a wb radiator support in pretty good nick if your interested
Thanks mate, I've already invested in the sandblasting and rust repair unfortunately so will just fix this one now. I think.
@@BarnesysBuilds no worries mate
