Yesssss! Hope y’all enjoy this BEEFY episode!!!!! Drop your comments/complaints/suggestions for edits here 🫡
nice job on the edit. As a newer youtuber I know that's not an easy job and my videos are only 7 to 12 minutes long. The last minute or two of black screen had me wondering if there was supposed to be something more though. No big deal, understand it happens. Keep up the great work.
I would just love to know. What are all the cuss words? In my 62 years, I'm always looking for something new.
@@GrumpyGuysGarage haha whoops!!! I just went back and looked at my timeline. No idea why it did that, thank you for bringing to my attention! Thats never happened before. Will check from now on!
@@adrianberryhillIt's all good. Glad to see it happens to the best of us. Great job anyway.
@@GrumpyGuysGarage I found it!!!!! It was a piece of audio, less than one frame long, so small you couldn’t see it unless zoomed way way in on the timeline.
Awww mom is precious. Fine looking little doggy too. He wants to go for a ride.
In my old age I build 1/24 and 1/25 scale plastic models . Sometimes I screw up a paint job. Soaking the plastic parts in Castrol Superclean removes the paint but doesn’t harm the plastic. Also to cut down on dirt sticking to the car from static, use a fabric softener cloth inside a clean rag to wipe the car to remove any static.
I don't know about anyone else but i love this long episode. I prefer to watch a longer one than many short ones.
Car looks good! Great job! The "kid" is really becoming a great help! Can't wait to see what you build for her in time
I did a bit of research, and turns out the devil created wrap!? Yip! To drive good people mad. I just want to give you guy's a big hug, for your patience and perseverance. I'm a hammer guy to and my patience has a limit. Emmy, your patience is second to none. Love you guy's 👍
Any time you can get a kid involved is a good thing. Expand their mind.
I love the "No Fear" attitude y'all have. You use these things as a learning experience and to teach us to take chances. If you never try, you'll never know if you can do it. Thanks for all you do. Keep up the great work!!!
This was a GREAT educational video--to teach people to paint, not wrap. ;)
I love how you and Aaron work so well together with you and your sense of humor that helps Aaron keep his frustration at bay! You were made for each day 💕
Hi, Emily and Aaron, the wrap looks AWESOME! I've seen wraps done by so called professionals( insert air quotes here!) that DIDN'T look half as good as the job that you lovely people have done. Hope you enjoy yourselves on the power tour trip and use the journey to unwind and de-stress. Thank you so much for bringing a little joy into our lives with each video.
I love the fact you guys show the good, the bad, and the ugly. When I watch how its done on UA-cam and then go do it, it never works as easy as they show it on UA-cam. Maybe after I do it a few times it becomes easy, but the first time is a bear.
When using a tack cloth for the final clean, DO NOT rub it back and forth, you’re just rubbing any grime around and imbedding it in the surface. Take the cloth and run it in one direction from one edge to the other end. Lift , go back to the beginning edge and repeat. You can and should use this process on any cleaning step.
Correct!
Ope! Thanks for that!!
Be aware, those tack cloths are paraffin based! Its difficult not to leave wax behind...
Whoo! That looks like fun!!🥴 NO!!!!😂😂 Looks nice.😎
It’s amazing how this has progressed. You guys were struggling so hard with the hood but now it looks like you’ve been doing it for years! Side note: If you have ever been hit real hard in the rear end while driving, you’d NEVER. Tint the brake lights.
I must say... You two are amazing. The energy you project on your episodes.
Enjoying seeing this "real" experience with the wrap .Not as easy as some had made it seem but with some practice I think most of the Flying Sparks community could get it done .
You took up the challenge of wrapping without a workshop, you overcame the challenges and learned a lot.
After watching all the struggles I witnessed you both go through with this wrap, I can say I will never do that. Y'all did a great job and as always were very entertaining to watch.
Me too. I'm going to stick to paint.. It's a lot of time spent on sanding and prep work, but once you start with the paint it goes quick.
I love you and Aaron's ability to just dive into stuff you have no experience with and learn as you go. Thank you guys as always for the awesome content and inspiration! 🤘🤘🤘
I love how involved The Kid is in your car shenanigans. It warms my heart to see her learnin' how to wrench.
Also hooray mum's also involved.
Also about getting the wrap perfect: Freiburger always said: Don't get it right, just get it running. Hot dang, this thing looks good in John Deere Green.
Y'all should include some wrap scraps with merch orders!
Emily you are so incredibly positive, I appreciate that.
I think you guys did a fantastic job wrapping your Corvette, I love the green you went with, Don’t be so critical about yourselves, You guys are a young couple working on cars mostly learning as you go, You make your videos entertaining and you also teach others that with a bit of research and whatever your abilities are, Anyone can have a go at something, If you don’t manage to do that thing, You can try again or you find someone who can do it, By trying it yourself, You have nothing to lose and if you do manage it, Then you’ll have saved yourself some money, It gives you a good feeling when you accomplish something you didn’t know you could do, So you will try something harder, Before you know it you have learnt new skills, Love to you both and happy holidays from the uk.
That C6 turned out pretty awesome. That car has come a long way since you bought it thanks to the two of you.
I'm about to start doing my first wrap too... I'm a little more concerned after watching your couple of videos but also have a better idea of what I'm getting myself into. Thanks!
Nascar teams wrap their cars. I can't believe they go through this much trouble on a wrap.
I have found that gorilla tape sticks better. The car is looking much better. Really like the color
This car doesn't have problems. It has content.
I’m fairly handy at working on my Corvette but I don’t think that I would ever try to do a wrap. You two are doing a great job.
all plastics and rubber bits are not the same , sooo maaaany diff compounds , you did right , always do a test section.. but I usually do a rag with some acetone , then brillow .. wash , dry , respray with black Trim paint or Vinyl upholstery paint .. always comes out great .. also , spray your paint into the cap , grab a QTIP , and hit them screw heads .. finishing this vid up an see the next just dropped... time for BBQ and a relaxing evenin
It's neat to see a material that tells us, "Play nice with me and I can do what you want me to do".
In other words, treat it nice and gentle and it's pretty forgiving
I applaud you for trimming out the door jambs and other areas.
It is so disappointing when you open a door, trunk, hood and see that the work stopped at the edge of the opening. I admire a job that goes thru to the end.
It’s not perfect but it’s pretty dang good!
@@flyingsparksgarage The car looks fantastic, even without remembering how it looked at the start.
You & Aaron did some amazing work in a short time.
That green is fantastic. Great job getting that vette finished. 🎼💚✌️ Harmony love and peace
Next time you wrap something, spray the surface with a spray bottle with a little soap & water, lay the vinyl down, you can move it around & then squeegee it out. Give it a test, you will be amazed! I can tell you guys were stressed doing what you did! I know I would of been! Anyway good job, the car looks great! 👍
I’m not sure green would have been my first choice for the C6 but after seeing it completed, it is an awesome color on it. Great job Aaron and Emily!
I honestly didn't think I would like the green but i love it ol Kermit is looking great!! And Hi mom much love from Kentucky to the whole family!
44:53 Mark : LOL! This brought back a totally messed up memory. I was swapping a steering wheel on my 1975 Nova and the same thing, I got the horn and stuff apart, and instead of using a puller, I grabbed the wheel and pulled. On the second yank it came flying off and wailed me in the face. I was dazed for a good while. When I finally got my wits back, I continued on with the swap. I get it done, go in to the house and my girlfriend and her family see me and start howling. I had a lump in the middle of my forehead and both of my eyes were black like a raccoon.
But man...that chain steering wheel looked AWESOME!
Have to say you two took on a real ambitious project in wrapping that car, you didn’t start out wrapping something with straight flat lines you went with multiple curves. You guys notice the glue lines, the little imperfections because you know where they all lie. At the end the car’s wrapped, it’s a nice looking green and you did it yourselves with the help of mom and the kid, you don’t wrap cars for a living and it turned out awesome. Aaron said it himself he’s decided he’s gonna paint it eventually and this is just a temporary job. I say run with it, enjoy it because you did a great job. Be proud of it, and those headlights I might not have spent the money on them but that’s just me look freaking awesome. And totally loved mom’s little slip when she saw the tires, might want to keep that and insert it whenever Aaron’s at the frustrated part of a project and feels like swearing LOL. Anyway awesome job enjoy the trip
That car looks soooo much better in the green. I guarantee it was frustrating to do. I love that you show your mistakes and learning curves. We all know the wrap isn’t perfect but it will get you through your hopefully awesome trip!!
GREAT video , you two are such hard working and determined people , great job , Emily is always so beautiful ❤❤❤❤
You were asking about the plastics, VGG's apolstry guy has a cleaner, primer,paint that I saw him use. Thanks for the great content.
Hey Emily and Aaron 👋, the car turned out fantastic. The tint on the rear lights 👍 . And totally agree on the 50/50 . It's just convenience to get it done. Thanks for sharing, and have a great time
Wow, you guys can make anything work.
Don't worry about the imperfections, she's a driver and no one should be inspecting her that closely anyway. Enjoy the drive and have fun. Looks great, love the color
for removing paint from plastic, i like the orange citrus paint and varnish remove from HD. it's made for wood, so it is pretty gentle. i have used it to clean up the door panels that someone sprayed with the cheap vinyl spray paint.
Emily's personality is infectious lol. And you have got to make a shirt that says that! "Less words, more work" lol
I definitely can’t watch this right now but I will tomorrow!! I hope it all turned out good!
I give you guys a thumbs up. I wouldn’t have had the Patience.
Wow on camera the car looks amazing! I know that I would never have the patience to ever even attempt to wrap something with that many curves. You both should be proud y'all. Love and hugs from Waco.😁
Hope you're all, inc finley, and the murder kitties, you need a flying sparks superhero style shirt with findlay as the lead character.
Then the murder kittens as the rest of the gang.......if you make them, they would buy them.
But loving the colour , very Italian looking👌👌
In the smallest ones pick’em with a pain .
You've got a name for the car, the grinch .
Awesome job guys , ordered my sweater thanks, Randy from Texas
Yay!!! Thank you!!!
That green looks fantastic!..I've been thinking about trying to wrap my '56 Vette..even with the same shade of green. Wrapping is a pain though!
Yep....everybody thinks wrapping is easy....until they try....kinda makes you appreciate the artists that do flawless jobs....that's why I just paint stuff....enjoy that ride on the struggle bus.....LOL....way to persevere
I have had a few vehicles wrapped. Watching the guy’s do it, it’s an art. They used propane torches to heat spots. Open flame on the wrap
Wishing y'all a Merry Christmas and to all who love your content! Remember no dust lines in 2024!
Regarding the duct tape on the driver's fender; To quote a feller "If it works is it really a dumb idea?".
I’m glad yall got it done!! I know that was tedious. I.’m Sure you’re jumping on Moms MG soon. 😂❤
Once again - looks fantastic and your patience is to be admired. One small tip on tack cloth, don't use it smooth. Take it out of the package and roll/wrinkle it up. You'll actually create more surface area and get more use from it. Thank you as always ~ Chuck. P.S. - Mom was right though!
That green just makes that Vette pop, you two work so well together. Another great video.
When Robby Layton did rap on a vehicle, they had plastic with foam rapped around the edge, to take the air out from under it as you lay it ,and pierce the air bubbles with a pin and blead the air out as they heat it,good job done, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Man o man I got educated. I am going to continue painting. I don't have the patience for this. But still great video. Those guys that do that for a living got my vote. Thanks again
Most folks don't even bother with the door jams . Looks great 👍
The three of you have more patience than I have.
Awesome job it’s definitely more work than you think 🎉🎉🎉moms awesome 😎
It looks good. Thats a change.
And Adrian did to a solid on the camera and setup.
Think about it like this. It was a 50ft car before you started. If you can get it to a 10ft or better you made a major difference.
Aaron + Emily, Well it looks like the Corvette's a wrap! Great Video and thanks for the warning to look for easier to work with materials!
Glad you got it done don't think I would have the patience for that wrap stay safe on your trip can't wait to see the next episode
When it comes to plastic and paint removal, I use a spray-on oven cleaner. The caustic solution will soften and remove the paint but won't attack the plastic.
From Our Family To Your,s Merry CHRISTmas
The brain is a wonderful thing. You worked it hard having to think about all that wrap, so in your sleep it’s working on refining and refining those pathways I suppose. 😂
Feel for you guys. Wrapped the hood of my Ford Ranger a couple of years ago. Was a nightmare.
You guy’s are awesome
Hey guys that car is looking really cool I love it
Nice car ,nice people .merry Christmas 🎄
Kudos to y’all for having the patience & fortitude for this project…frankly, it would’ve been more interesting if you had put up a paint shop, and painted her. Very frustrating to watch; I’m curious how much of the wrap wound up in the trash. 😆
You guys did great! I have a 40' Thomas Bus I'd like to get wrapped in Aztec Gold. I'll be over there in January. I'll bring the steaks!
After the wrap was done, i sure hope y'all took a little time to walk out back and break some stuff.. you earned it!
You guys are awesome and I Love the work you did on the vet and always happy to see the family and critters Mr.Finley is so serious about the work,LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless y'all
Y'all have the most amazing patience! I love your vlogs!
Everything you two do is always over the top as far as quality. Personally I couldn't do that wrap. It's to time consuming for this guy. Enjoy watching it be done 👍. Thanks for sharing 🙏.
Love your content!!
Not a fan of green cars but I must say your C6 is looking amazing. Safe travels and looking forward to the upcoming videos.
Hey guys, it’s Louis. An absolute awesome job y’all done on the vet I’m at a loss of words. Such a tedious job y’all done on the car and with such patience you’ll head half. I can understand Aaron having to walk away from it. With my boat racing I’ve had to walk away From my stuff many times. But U2 work so well together and U2 Jill so well together. I can tell how inseparable U2 are. I love you guys, I’m going through some health issues right now but I’m planning on buying some more merchandise ASAP God bless, take care, And merry Christmas to you both. Do your mom and the kids I said hello.
Merry Christmas y’all from SC God Bless
Thanks for giving proper instructions Arron !!
Very happy you got that done. I'd pulled my hair out doing it. It looks good though.
Good job on the warp! I would have thrown my hands up and probably a number of other things and thrown it in the trash, I congratulate you guys for hanging in there!
It looks like it is a lot more work than painting and more time consuming. Would you ever do it again, is there any average to doing the warp like durability, getting away from clear coat issues, lifespan vs paint, etc.
Now you know why people don't wrap door jams
The C6 "Green Goblin" is looking snazzy. Stay save.
I am so impressed you guys finished it and did not hire someone to assist you! I am exhausted just watching you.
Your dream face wrap is a clue to me to just say no to wraps
Great job guys looks awesome 👍
always going forward and learning on the way. Well done
Always great to watch your videos. You two are always really busy with work so on this trip to California take some time to enjoy each others company, make a vacation out of it too. Be safe.
In my application of vinyl labels a strait needle in the center of a bunch of bubbles allowed the air to vent through the small hole the moisture should be able to escape also
The green genie has come out the bottle it must have beeen all that rubbing lol nice one crack on be safe and happy christmas
I thought about getting wrap to redo my Durango. Nope paint now. LoL!!!
You can use a detailer's clay bar to safely remove over spray from plastic, glass and metal.
Looks like you guys persevered through a lot of learning curves and boy howdy did that changed the look! Great job and great video! Have a safe but fun trip to California!
The big thing is to not pull so much of the backing paper off at a time. Stick the top and then pull the backing off as you go. Small bubbles you can use a needle to stick and then press them out. Good luck!
