    This week I finally found the color that LBL is going to be … spending some time with the experts at CMax, I decided it was time to graduate to painting base/clear and by doing so, many more options opened up as a result including being able to add in pearls and metallics. I didn’t find it any harder painting the door panel, it just takes more coats and more time. Can’t wait to put what I’m expecting to be at least 10 on the truck before it’s all said and done - enjoy!

      mark you either need to paint the base and clear in the same weekend or you'll have to sand the base before you clear it ... there's something called the "recoat window " and that's the amount of time that you can let pass and still be able to lay another coat down , same goes for primer but it sounds like you're dead set in priming one weekend and painting the next . which is fine that'll help you get it smooth but if you don't scuff between weekends you'll have paint flaking off same as if you didn't use an etch prime .
      your best bet if you don't think you can do it all in one weekend is to do the cab and hood in base and clear one weekend then the bunk the next weekend. but don't let 7 days pass between base and clear without sanding

    Mark if you want mettalics you realize you can spray the blue you like and before you put final clear coats. You put actual flakes in a clearcoat and spray it over blue then 2-3 coats of clear. If you want the best job possible because you're spending a lot of money..Mark buy a couple quality guns..you need a primer gun and base clear gun. Spend your money on good equipment not princess auto /harbor freight quality crap..
    you can't paint the color one weekend and wait 7 days to do clearcoat. You have a small window to top the basecoat. So you better read on the time you have between base and topping with clearcoat.

      I second what the guy above said about air paint guns. I'm not a painter myself, but I worked with a guy that was really good at his job, and the compliment I made about his paint habilites he attributed to a specific model of a air paint gun (don't recall which one).

    If clear is applied correctly it does not need to be wet sanded, orange peal or wave's in clear is a timing PROBLEM,read up and use a clock and thermometer,when you go into the factories you will not see a cut and buff department unless their in a repair area,air temp and Metal temp is key!!
    SPRAY OUTS ARE THE ANSWER,RECORD THE TEMPS!! GOD BLESS YOUR EFFORTS!!!❤😊

    Love the new clear over basecoate Mark . That is the right colour for Little by Little . Once you have painted using clear over base you will never go back . Yes alot more work but you can do so much more . Have even seen guys put pearl in the first 2 coats of clear , makes the paint change colour in the sun . Like a blue looking straight at it then it gets a purple tinge when you look at a different spot .
    Keep up the great work .

    Mornin Mark, I like the color, I think you are right you found the winner. I never got into doing any kind of body work and all though the fascination was there I never really had the opportunity to do any of it, but after watching you complete one and half way through the second I am very impressed with your ability not only for the base work but you are getting quite skilled at finishing as well, Good job Mark it's looking great. Sorry I didn't get to the Lesco truck show this year, I tried to get a golf cart or a side by side to use for the day but couldn't get one, just can't walk that far anymore. Hopefully get something for next year. Have a great week Mark, Say hello to Mrs. Twin stix for us.

    Be sure to mask off the engine and get your jambs open enough to get a good coat of paint. The jambs will be your Achilles heel of the paint job. I'm loving the content and your willingness to expand your talents. You've got this Mark!

    That blue looks awesome, gonna be a lot of work, but it's definitely gonna be worth it! Maybe a little thin white pinstriping in the corners would really make it pop. Up to you though. Also, why bother messing around with ropes off of the roof, when you have a perfectly good overhead crane?

    1:55 That's awesome Mark! I think I left a comment mentioning how them old hot rodders would do that with the metallics on their old hot rods, adding their own custom blend of metal flake, which personally I wanted it to look like a funny car with extreme metalflake paint when I was gonna paint my 1967 Cougar a very similar color like you're gonna paint little by little. It's gonna look AWESOME. And wondering if anyone out there knows the history of what happened to the Hawaiian Tropic trailer that was in Smokey and the Bandit 2 when they're at the Lion Country Safari and Cannonball Run When Mel Tillis and Terry Bradshaw were tuning up the car during Arthur G Foyt's poem about the automobile. It is really cool looking and hand painted and I'm sure that's why Hal Needham had it in both movies. Another thing I remember when I was a trucker going up the East Coast from 2002 to 2005 was a rumor that Kenworth of Atlanta had the Snowman Bandit 2 Kenworth and trailer in the showroom. I was wondering what the truth was about that but maybe it was just an urban myth.

    Base clear you are gonna have to do in one day or if you have to do it in 2 days you’re gonna have to scuff the base coat with a scotchbright pad so that the clear will adhere to the base paint just another tip for you

    Lay it on wet that will help you with your over lap . I used a siphon gun for years and put two ball berrings in the cup to keep the flake mixed up . And if your gonna spray flake ground the truck . Lay a chain over the axle. Unplug the battery’s also. Keep jamming Mark!

  • @MRJ-lo6xx

    Hey mark the best way i find for me is to take the bonnet off and the bunk to paint. Like i said i find it the best was for me plus i have half a dozen workers to help get them off and put back on so maybe won’t work for you. Anything other advise i have has already been said. Ya don’t need metallic paint just put the flakes in the clear for 1 coat and don’t base coat 1 saturday and clear coat the next it’s way to long. Can’t wait to see it finished i’ve been following the journey from the start.
    All the best with it mate following the channel from Australia.

  • @myhrebache-wiig459
    @myhrebache-wiig459 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Mark, I've have many base paint jobs. I recommend that you do the base just enough to cover. If you put much on it, it will pull shine out of the clear. And if you wait more than 24 hours on the base, you have to scuff it. And the scratches might show. Especially with metallic. On the clear I recommend to put on at least 4 coats to wet sand and buff it. I'm only am recommending. I've have made many mistakes. The base, you want to overlap 1/2 the spray pattern. If you overlap more than that, you can end up with stripes. You'll have wait at least an hour to to put next coat on. You have been doing an AWESOME JOB with all projects!!!

  • @TruckinPeterbilt
    @TruckinPeterbilt 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Have you considered taking the hood off and painting it separately? Paint the inside first, separately, then paint the exterior when you paint the truck, or paint the whole thing separately and leave outside when you paint the truck.
    Definitely take the rear 1/2 fenders off.
    You can’t let the base coat sit for a week without clear, you have 12-24 hours and you have to apply clear coat.
    Painting path- cab roof, windshield and cowl, then the sides, then the back. Use same path for the sleeper finishing on the front. Make sure you use a tack cloth before starting a section.

What I usually do is I put Scotch bread on my sander and I go over the whole darn thing and it just levels everything out super nice and then when you prime it block sand everything by hand and then take the red Scotch-Brite and Scotch-Brite tow truck by hand your paint will come out beautiful

They say if you what a good paint job make sure the prepping is done first, but I know you worked so long on this truck that you want it done. I’m not trying to tell you your job just what I know and some pointers which you get a lot of I’m sure.

    Hey Mark, agreed, thats the colour! ...couple of suggestions if it's not too late .. next time you drop the stink bomb in the truck,have it running and the vent fans on to circulate the air around the cab ... i know it's not often you paint on the ground but if you paint towards you then it's less likely you will drop crap in fresh paint or hit fresh paint with can/ jacket and finaly if it's possable how about splitting your work area up , put the truck in with the trans am, remove the hood and split the garage area in 2, hood in 1 section sleeper in the other screened off with plastic, then you can work on different areas of the truck at different speeds, while one area is drying you could be preping/painting a different section... looking forward to the next one bud,keep at it.

    You know, I've NEVER seen a professional use the fibreglass strand body filler. I only ever see it used on TH-cam. I used it to bridge some rust holes when I was a kot younger because it sounded like a great idea. I wonder if other people think the same but the professionals know better?

    My favorite blue was always Daytona Blue, but then I bought a '74 Datsun Z, and it is painted Nissan's Pacifiic Blue. Both are so beautiful, Pacific is just a little darker blue. Also, the way to completely get rid of that stink is to get a little ozone generator and stick it in the cab for a day. Air it out good afterwards and the stink will be completely gone. They use those generators to get fire stink out of clothes and upholstery in houses that have had a fire. It works better because the ozone gas goes everywhere and gets inside fabrics and foams. I would open that upper next time too if theres anything in it.

    If you take a wide mouth bottle, 1/2 full of vinegar. Then roll up some newspaper. Put in the bottle. Bottom to 6 inches above the mouth. Then cut the paper making a flower. Leave it for a few days. Mat2 bottles for a few day. The smell will transfer into the paper and vinegar. Even works in a freezer that was full of rotten meat.

    The big thing with B/C is to remember that with the basecoat you aren't trying to build material thickness.
    You just need to cover the surface completely and evenly. You will get the build with the clear.
    If you spray any single stage paint, or clear coat correctly, the paint is mixed correctly with the right reducer
    for the temperature, and the gun is set correctly, you don't have to cut and buff the paint, but this is
    stuff that takes experience. I have literally sprayed a couple thousand gallons of material, and my paint
    always lays down like glass. I can't remember the last time I actually wet sanded and buffed a paint job...
    If you get dark spots of metallic in the basecoat, you can cross coat it and that will help even it out.
    It's certainly not ideal, but it does work.

    Dual stage is definitely the way to go if you have the room to fully enclose your vehicle while painting. Like laquer in the old days, if you get a bit of dust or a bug in the clear, you can sand and buff it out and everything will look fantastic. Like with all painting projects, preparation is 95% of your finished product. Spend the extra time on sanding and priming. Don't start thinking that the color coat and or clear will cover for poor surface prep.

    It's a really nice color. The metallic will be a lot more noticeable when you actually paint the truck
    because you will have large areas of color and a lot of different angles and contours,
    and obviously the chrome and polished aluminum will really help too...
    When you are spraying the clearcoat, instead of looking at the surface straight on, try looking at the
    surface from the side, at least when you first start spraying. It's actually a good idea no matter what
    you are spraying, but you will be able to see how the material is laying down a lot better, and see if you
    need to adjust your speed or if the material is coming out dry. It can save you a lot of work after you are done painting.
    Hopefully this helps. I'm not very good at explaining things, and I know you are getting overloaded with advice from a lot of people.
    You will figure it out... It's just paint.

    You don't need base / clear for metallic... my Beetle was painted with single stage, and has several metallics, AND a pearl in it.

    Damn that blue will make LBL shine and look amazing under the sun.
    I'd say just paint the insides of the hood and fenders just flat black, that way the blue on the outside will pop even more.
    Also paint other areas that won't see could also go with flat black

    I started watching you build L/L in the snow outside. That blue is going to look great. I think if you sprayed that panel with it hanging you would have less sputtering from the spray can. Easier to get a even layer than bending over it. Nice result though.

    I am glad you did not go with your first choices and as you were spraying this, I was hoping you were going to stick with this one. Looks like you are. Good choice in my opinion.

  • @alleyoop1234
    @alleyoop1234 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

    The base in Base/clear is fragile, as there is no hardener in it. But adding hardener/activator to the base will make it more durable, but still not as durable as single stage.
    I would paint it with Polyurethane for maximum durability..

  • @xanitrucker9946
    @xanitrucker9946 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Beautiful color choice, I'm heavily digging that paint. Would also definitely be awesome to do the inside of the hood in the same blue, as you said yourself that white would just stick out too much.

  • @toddstegner9894
    @toddstegner9894 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I was always told you have to spray clear while the paint is tacky because theres a chemical reaction type deal that happens and makes it stick better. Im not a painter but it might be worth asking a painter if you can wait a week between color and clear. Just a thought

    With metallics you have to be real careful that you get it on evenly otherwise you get this crazy shading. It happened to me. I was so pissed. I had to do the whole job over and I worked in the body shop at one time when I was a kid. We live and learn.

  • @MrPhantom379
    @MrPhantom379 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Hi mark, you don’t have to paint the whole truck at the same time, you could paint the sleeper,cab and hood at different times. It’s a lot of work to paint everything at once. You could also paint the roof caps first on the cab and sleeper and then cover them up and paint the sides a different day, that will help with not leaning on a wet panel to paint the roof.

    In regards to painting the roof of the sleeper, could you not attach a grab pole like the ford pickups have on the tailgate to the platform step. You can hold onto it so you can stabilize yourself while painting the roof. Just a thought

    Hey friend if you paint the truck sliver before your main color it will make it a little deeper blue. More base coat and three coats of clear will make it sparkle and give you a glass finish on your clear.

    You should really take the hood off and place the sleeper on the floor. Would be a heck of a lot easier and the only climbing you need to do will be is the top of the cab and sleeper.
