    I know this episode may not be super exiting.... but the blocking process is kinda boring, time consuming too. BUT it's absolutely necessary!!! watch till the 1 hour mark.... the payoff is when i wet-check it. There's a long way to go on this one! Thanks for watching!!! please subscribe and LIKE!!!.

    Kevin. I’ve been in the industry for over 40 years. I’ve mentored many young techs and operated at a high level in paint/collision/restoration. One of my go to’s is that you can never stop learning. Weather in the classroom or in the shop from the people around you. You are a premier technician and even a better educator.
    Thank you for being an ambassador for the industry, God Bless you brother.

Keep up the great videos please! Also, i watched you paint something on the old Ford dulley from Trucks. The paint gun moved as if were controlled by a machine. I remember you saying that is muscle memory. I hope to be half as good as you one day. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Freak'in awesome! Showed now how I can adjust the hood on my own project (sits higher toward the windshield), and has just a Minor gap adjustment needed. Also from this episode I learned why the urethane primer I sprayed failed, as in orange peel type texture which is why I'm having trouble sanding it smooth and having to use and spend more on filler. When both the heat and the wind calm down I can get back at it again but I'm going to have to spray the paint. Would like to do better but given time and being in the elements the body work I've done is what I needed to do. Still going to try to use what I saw here to keep the primer/paint as straight to body as possible.

Just did a complete all over color change on a mustang 2 and i had to slot almost ever panel on the car to get everything to line up but really made the job look so much better. Thanks for showing the basics most people dont show this stuff. And it the basics that make the job. Real craftsmanship.

    You just gave me PTSD. Post Traumatic Sanding Disorder. LOL
    I've spent the last two (3? 4?) months sanding on my 32 coupe. Sand, prime, sand (poly filler primer) and my shoulders are screaming at me. This takes a younger man than me. I'm 65 and the ol' bod don't like it.
    I just laughed at the "...done in a weekend..." remark.
    I did finally get color on (single stage urethane), but it's going to need a couple (dozen) surface corrections. I'd get to painting and going nice and smooth, then the shoulder would lock up for a second. AARRRRGGG!
    But at least I can do most of the "corrections" in the shop with A/C. Then back out into the make-shift paint booth/oven for some "touch-ups". Thanks for the videos, I'm really enjoying them.
    I'm going to do scallops on this car.
    Question: The scallops will be red over blue. After masking, do I need to sand off the blue down to the primer, or just scuff and paint? (same type paint, two manufacturers. They didn't have the one color in the same manufacturer as the other color) There will be lines from the two layers of colors, I figure I'll need to wet sand that area and polish. I know they won't be perfectly smooth to each other doing it that way. Just smoother.
    Thanks again!

    • @paintucation
      @paintucation  3 місяці тому

      Hey, I hear ya on the shoulders!!! It's a real thing. For your scallops, there's no need to sand the paint off, just scuff it and paint. Id mask off the graphics, then sand it with 600 or 800, the paint should lay out nice and smooth.

    • @Ellington_Industrial_Arts
      @Ellington_Industrial_Arts 3 місяці тому

      ​​@@paintucationNot to be not picky Kevin... but I believe the SS trucks came with the 9.5" ring gear, semi-/floating 14 bolt axles, normally found under 3/4 ton trucks...but, with the 2wd 5 lug bolt pattern. Making them rare as hen's teeth, because it's the only vehicle that ever received that 14 bolt variant... and to my knowledge, 5 bolt axle shafts are not available off the shelf and would have to be custom made.
      Just the info I've gathered, on an axle that I have installed and modified a good deal.

    I would not be surprised new vehicles from the factory with paint jobs coming out flat like what you are doing on this truck.
    I have always liked that body style of the truck.
    During the 90's at work I drove a 1991 chev work truck with the 4.3 V6 2 wheel drive long bed, and it was a great truck until I was involved in a wreck which totaled it.
    The wreck happened after a snow melt down with me cruising about 60mph on the freeway and this Honda CRV went down an onramp, but instead of it continuing into the turn on the onramp it went straight and divebombed right into the freeway with me smashing into it and sending back across the freeway. Everyone including me all made it out safely and nobody hurt. It's one of those things you see in the corner of your eye and you know it's too late to do anything about it.
    I also had a 1991 full size Ford Bronco with the 5.8 engine and factory quad shocks in the front.
    Most manufactures suffered a bad quality in primer during those years and my truck was one of those that had peeling paint.
    Derek's truck looks good for the primer work after being repainted from red to black.
    Cant wait to see the rest of the series on this truck

    I've noticed some auto body guys use wet sanding while others use dry sanding. Pros and cons? I'm not an expert but I've always used water to help the sanding process. I enjoy your series very much.

      I drysand when I'm blocking and creating/perfecting a surface.... wet sanding typically with paint-prep and especially sanding to polish. I find that dry blocking allows me to look at what I'm doing way better with more accuracy.

    On the OBS door handles. To make life even easier, undo the bolts to the latch first. You can pull the handle out to get to the clips. And it's muuuchh easier going in that way. It's way to easy to bend those door handle pockets installing the handles.

    I'm curious to see how you paint the top inner section of the fenders where the bolts are located after you aligned the hood. Thought you were going to remove the hood. I'm guessing you'll mask the engine, inner fenders, and underside of hood? And then raise/lower the hood as necessary to paint the inner section? Enjoying this series!

    • @paintucation
      @paintucation  3 місяці тому +1

      Hey Andy.... What I'll do after the surface is corrected, I'll remove the hood and paint it separately. That way I can get inside the inner fenders with no tape line ,and the edges of the hood and wet everything out. I'll probably do the hood, tailgate, mirrors, door handles, and front bumper in a separate paint session. (bed will be off the truck too!) Hope this helps! KT

  • @gollumthewicked
    @gollumthewicked 3 місяці тому +1

    More sciencey answer about the color of sanding clear: It's the same effect of snow being white instead of water or ice alone being clear. It has to do with light not being able to move straight through the material without bouncing off of a crystal surface at the microscopic level. When all that material is close enough together, light passes right through. But as soon as you start sanding the clear coat, you've now created space between the surface and the light starts bouncing around. This also explains why if you then wet the sanded clear it goes clear again until the water dries. The water closes the gap between the structure of the clear coat allowing light to pass through cleaning again without random reflection patterns.

    I agree with the high-build primer and glaze in the shallow small areas. But why not metalwork the high central dents? You have access to both sides of the panel, right? Metalworking is better than covering it up in filler. They are two to three inches wide, but deep enough filler is questionable. I was taught filler shouldn't be used if you can bring out the dent metalworking first. Is that wrong?

    • @paintucation
      @paintucation  3 місяці тому

      No, not wrong at all. Just an overview on my end, not Gospel. I'll assess after the blocking and figure it out. My point is that there's nothing wrong with filler if done properly. Thanks for watching!

    Hey Kevin, speaking of the mysterious rubber marbles on the bed, I saw a tip from one of your old coworkers Mike Galley. I'm sure it was mostly because they were sponsoring the show, but he suggested spraying WD40 on the panel behind the tires before burnouts so that the rubber wouldn't stick to the paint as easily. Do you know if this works and won't hurt a nice paint job? I'm just curious what a master of paintucation thinks lol
