Im a industrial welder for komatsu and those welds are fine definitely not gonna come apart. Checkout the robot welds on most vehicles definitely hit and miss and i trust what ive seen in your video. Paint looks good im gonna pull the trigger and spray my 1966 camp trailer with it
When you use hardener with it you could also wet sand it. While i respect and apprrciate your approach, an afternoon wet sanding followed by a good buffing would likely look far better for little more money and a few more hours of your time. Either way, neat truck!
I'll wait to see if UA-cam sends part 2 my way,but i liked this video. Never mind what the couch warriors say,they wouldn't know honest work if it kicked them in the balls. I recently acquired a 1974 Nova that im gonna use as my daily driver. Needs typical Michigan rust repair which im gonna do myself. Im watching all these implement paint videos, cuz that's all it's getting after the cutting and butting. I like your idea about letting the paint cure hard followed by a wet sand and clear coat. Just might do that!
I once went all out restoring an Impala. Tons of sheet metal, pro paint job, chrome, etc. It never added any real value. Could have used fiberglass bondo and a paint brush and saved the money for an engine. I would have been happier and drove it more often. That's why I went this route on the truck. It's done. I never worry about it. If it needs a new paint job just scuff and roll.

Ya you did just fine on the welds, whoever told you your welds aren't good is stupid ! no they aren't dime sized perfect beads , so what! for a farm truck you did a great job on fab work , I'd drive that truck on the road without question, good video about maijic paint, I've restored alot of commercial mowers using that paint, it will take a beating
Why not use the foam brush for the whole thing? Why use a foam roller (which I heard causes 'orange peel'). Also, do you need two coats, could you get by with one coat? Two coats (with hardener?) seems overkill. If you are using tractor paint shouldn't that type of paint already be formulated not to fade, etc. without additives? I am not critical, just asking questions to get more info in case I attempt it. I never painted anything as big as a vehicle, but painted some industrial equipment with a regular paint brush and tractor paint, one coat, and had gloss and no brush marks. It did take 2 or 3 days to dry.
I've never rolled on and or brushed on tractor paint but I've sprayed it on several of my project cars. I've even mixed them and created my custom colors, I once did a 2 tone on a 64 Pontiac Catalina with tractor paint, the main color was International White and after the body was painted I had about a third of white left and had a quart of Oliver Green and quart of John Deere Yellow and dumped them in the White and put it in my paint shaker and mixed it up really well and made a really light Yellow Green color and painted the roof of the car with it and hand painted some old school pinstripes on it. It originally had a Vinyl Top so it already had the Chrome srtipping to seperate the roof from the body of the car so it worked out perfectly.
That's really cool. I'm all about doing things cheaper. I started as a kid and usually had to find a budget alternative to get anything done. I would have sprayed the truck, but my lungs can't take any more abuse.
@@Catholic-Perennialist I grew-up in Farm country in the Midwest and my parents had a paint and body shop so I've worked on and painted alot of tractors and implements. I've even built my own mobile paint booth using 2X2 and corregated plastic, It cost me less than a $100 to build and when I'm not using it it unscrews and is stored in loft at the back of the shop.

Thanks. I have a lot of doubters and purists that make fun of my welds, but in my experience, stick welds generally don't break.

👍 - thoroughly detailed video & fine work/results!

@@TheREALOC1972 Nice. It helps to have generational knowledge of the business for sure.
@@Catholic-Perennialist yes it does, we did alot more farm and implement stuff than we ever cars.
It’s all good you’re going to have a great truck for the farm and a good looking truck truck with the new paint
Thanks for making this. It’s been over a year do you have any follow up video of what the green paint looks like in its added to state ? Thank you
The paint is intact, but does fade in the sun.
I'm still happy with it. Makes sense for a farm truck.
@@Catholic-Perennialistthanks can you post a part 2 of what that looks like ? Even briefly ? Like 20 seconds worth ?
@@georgiabigfoot I'm mostly bedridden for a while now.
I'll get around to it, but it can't be soon.
@@Catholic-Perennialist ok sorry to hear that. I saw you had uploaded many religious videos but makes sense you can do those in bed; get well soon
This is what im talking about! Forever
With the price of a paint job, i expet to see a bunch of vehicles on the road done this way. Why not.
Close to the 1950s Texaco color
Why would you use a brush? Roller is lit better, faster and smoother.
I cut in with a brush around trim. If it's thinned enough it still turns out smooth.
Once upon a time all cars were brush painted.
Cool
I like the color.
