Since recording this video I have fixed 5 more dents so it will be cleaner finished project. Just wanted to let everyone know who is following the build. I will mention and show some of that in upcoming videos so stay tuned and God bless you all!
Hey Brother. How do you feel about using Paint stripper/Pressure wash to strip away old paint as opposed to sanding in preparation for primer? Any drawbacks to using something like ultra aircraft paint stripper?
As someone who does painting & collision repair for a living the only two suggestions I have are to use a wax & decreased between each grit of sandpaper to clean the surface and to tape off the lights & door handles if you're new to using a dander, it will prevent some unwanted damage. Looking forward to seeing you bedline the truck!
Yes great advice thank you for the input! Definitely don’t wanna push the dirty stuff into the paint for sure. Thanks and appreciate the input. Did more body work tonight and got more dents taken care of too.
Appreciate the refresher. It's been a long time since I've done any body work. I'm hoping to paint my S10 this summer. I've always wanted to do a spray can pant job. You've inspired me to do that.
Really looking good. Can't wait til the paint video. You always try to put out content that all of us can learn from. God bless you and your family James 🙏
Years ago my cousin bought a car that the previous owner freshly painted, but didn't prep it right so most of the new paint peeled off it. Preparation is SO important!
Yup! I have seen spray gun jobs flake off worse than my spray can jobs because lack of prep. If you prep it right the paint sticks well, spray can or spray gun.
Wow Talk about timing, I’m almost done fixing my daily and the first thing on my check list was a spray can paint job. I saw your video on gray paint job you did 11 months ago and I came to check back to see if you made a prep video.
I've just come to your channel and I'm enjoying it so far, I'm a but disappointed you haven't repaired the dent on the front wing. I know it's a work truck but for a matter of a couple of hours it would look much better.
Thanks and yeah I get that comment on a lot of things. Some of these dents on curved surfaces im not good at fixing because it’s on body lines. I am not a pro at body work I actually hate doing body work because by” fixing” it I sometimes make it look worse. I usually just replace the entire panel as I did with the driver door, front right fender, the entire truck bed and this one was in far better condition. I am probably going to fix the little damaged spots that are left like the fender and other areas but if I don’t get it perfectly straight it will be okay because it will probably get dented right back up. We will see what happens. Thanks and God bless
Thank you for the how to video. I've asked plenty of questions about sanding. How good does it feel working/ sanding in your garage without neighborhood karens all in your business
It’s great! The garage isn’t very big though so have to do a lot of work outside until the shop is built. The weather has been a big issue for me right now but making it work!
Yes and no. I didn’t record the process but heat them up and use a razor blade. I kinda got carried away and didn’t record lol. I stopped the camera to re position it and didn’t hit record sorry for that.
Thank you so much for all the videos you post. You really have given me some really good tips and tricks for spray painting a vehicle. And given me some confidence to spray paint my 97 F350 7.3. God bless man🙏🏻
Just a heads up next time you could feather the loose paint chips off and then fill the low sides with a little bit of body filler to achieve a flat smooth finish as well. Nice work though.
I am odd man out, but I want fox mustang to basically look like your prep job, no paint, just primer, then wash, and clear coat. Then 347 stroker/custom block, full suspension, decent interior. Folks think oh look POS Ford that poor bastard, then light turns green. That said I have watched your video twice as body work is new to me but yeah, I learned quite a bit here, thanks. I subscribed for future lessons.
I remember in one of your videos the dos and donts of rustoleum paint. Like how long between coats...if you wait too long it will cause wrinkling and peeling. Is there any way that you could do a comprehensive dos and donts...getting ready to try to paint my 74 olds cutlass and everytime i start i cant find the dont do this and that...amazing channel amazing work thank you for your time...GOD BLESS!
Painted my car with rustoleum thunder cloud grey 2 weeks ago. Plan on scuffing it down with 800 then clear over it with 2k. Will there be any reaction? I read that rustoleum takes a long time to cure and some got reaction to spraying over rustoleum after a couple of days.
I like to wait a month for it to really gas off or whatever they call it. I have a video of my 2K clear going over my spray can ep3 paint job no reactions on mine. If it’s the 2X paint it might react and idk why the 2X rustoleum sometimes reacts but sometimes it won’t. The advance formula and the high performance enamel do great with a 1000 grit wet sand and clear
Looking into paint my truck the paint is actually not bad at all but I want it black it’s more of a Superman blue. Do I need to sand it? There is no wear and Tear on the paint maybe some scratches and dings but nothing crazy or missing paint spots
I’m currently working on a 91 Firebird that has paint issues exactly like you have with that truck. I used 180 grit to sand it down and going to use I believe 320 after. So, you don’t use primer first before the spray paint?
Depends the paint but rustoleum has great adhesion if using the advance formula or high performance enamel. I if the vehicle has multi colored panels I prefer priming the entire vehicle to be the same color before laying on my paint. This one is going to be primed the entire thing since it has multicolored panels and I want good adhesion. But no, I don’t always use primer and I don’t have issues when I don’t. It’s different from spray gun paint where a primer is necessary. I have had other brands like Krylon and duplicator flake off without a primer, but oleum doesn’t have that issue and I’m not quite sure why but it does save me money sometimes lol
@@JamesDguy Thanks for the reply. This will be the second car I’m using Rust-Oleum on. First one was on a 84 Corvette. It’s flaking in parts and at times I get blisters. Not sure why. Anyways, I’m going to be using the rustoleum that has the 5 settings on it. So, you think since this is a one color car, I’d be fine just ditching the primer and just go with the paint?
Thanks for the Vids, very informative. I’ve got a 94 Dodge Ram 1500 my kids nicknamed “Rusty” 😆 ~ Will this same sandpaper help me with all the rust? This is my beater truck, luckily no major dents, just trying to make it look decent. Gonna follow your lead. (new Subscriber) Thanks again bro ~ Rob
I’ve been really inspired since I found your channel. I bought an ‘03 Acura RSX Type S and I’m not crazy about the color. It’s also fading in some spots. I’ve only seen a few of your videos so far , but would you recommend anyone try their hand at this? The RSX isn’t my daily so I was thinking I could really take my time prepping it for paint
Yeah me too i got a 98 dodge 1500 red with clear going away not rusty im near orlando fl if anyone needs a vehicle for content want to base red since that is original color with metalflake finish
I’m 20, so What grit do I use to hand sand crappy primer? I started off grit 80 I have 120 and 220, I’m not familiar with body work just know about engines and etc pls lmk.
I’m trying to sand down my old 70 mustang and there is bondo everywhere from the car being rolled by the previous owner. I have a spot on the trunk, and a few others, where there is actually a deep crack. Like the bondo is splitting. If I sand it all out, there is no way to feather it back in without a noticeable dip. Suggestions?
@@70MUSTANGMAN sand the crack in a V shape. Then bondo over it. Use a course sand paper. It will bond. Done this on a roof of a 1992 Ford Probe GT back in the day and it worked great
I use acetone, diluted, 10:1 ratio, wipe it vertically, then flip the rag and wipe horizontal, fold the rag, repeat that so it’s gettin wiped 4 times, then take a dry rag and wipe it before it dries up on its own. Will leave it clean. Then I tack it down with a tac rag, blow it with some air, tac it again, and it’s ready for paint. Just don’t wanna be too careless with that 10:1. That’s what works best for me. I don’t use rattle cans tho idk too much bout doing it like that.
I love your videos brother but to be saved we have to follow Acts 2:38. And Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Yeah without a doubt they are great!
Thanks for showing how to prep James! God bless you and your family
You did a better job of body work than I did on my 98 gmc sonoma. God bless, brother. Great video like always.
Thanks im not that great at it but i do my best and thats all that matters to me. I appreciate your support! God bless you brother!
Really looking good. Can't wait til the paint video. You always try to put out content that all of us can learn from. God bless you and your family James 🙏
Trucks look. Good can't wait to see some color on it. Gotta start doing paint n body work here soon on the civic and s10
Second video I see from the 500 but great video man. Thanks for all the help and God bless you sir. ❤ God even calls us threw UA-cam videos
Amen! I am doing something real special with this truck and it’s ALL glory to God just wait and see :)
Great video. I really like that you are using your platform to share the gospel! God Bless!
Lean not on your own understanding but trust in the lord with all your heart

Hey what part of Texas are you in? Would you consider taking on outside projects?
I'm curious what you would charge for this job? I use automotive paint. I could see there is a market for this.
Been looking for some guidance to repaint my tailgate this helped alot.
BTW, I think this is exactly what I'm looking for, for my car re-paint

Do you also sand inside doos or just painted over the previous paint?

@@godzilla4818 paint stripper will take paint off down to bare metal...not what you want when doing these types of budget jobs
Amen Amen Bratha 💯🔥
What do you use to wipe the vehicle with before spraying after sanding
I use acetone, diluted, 10:1 ratio, wipe it vertically, then flip the rag and wipe horizontal, fold the rag, repeat that so it’s gettin wiped 4 times, then take a dry rag and wipe it before it dries up on its own. Will leave it clean. Then I tack it down with a tac rag, blow it with some air, tac it again, and it’s ready for paint. Just don’t wanna be too careless with that 10:1. That’s what works best for me.

Just do it right, spray cans cost way more, are not suitable for that use. just do it right man. even the cheapest single stage will out perform that.
