HOW TO BLOCK SAND AND PREPARE A CAR PANEL FOR PAINT

Here you will see exactly how I get this Holden HX front guard ready for spray paint . This is a great DIY video that shows the fundamentals in block work and panel shaping. If you are looking to get into the restoration or collision repair industry or just back yard DIY , this is a must watch .

You see alot of HQs z x j b with that concave body line along the whole body side bogged over and missing looks horrible.!!!! Last HZ I did I did with the panels all bolted on the ute anyway good to see you doing it proper and showing people how it’s done ✅ correct

[@reidcustomgarage]

Yes we also shaped and gapped this one with the panels on. This was just the primer block work already knowing the body lines were checked . The full restoration video will
Be up in a couple weeks.
Thank you for supporting.

Man il tell you what i think 🤔 There is so much preparation that goes into having a quality finish product & paint 👍😊 You leave yourself open to some dickheads out there because as you know some will use this grade of sand paper & techniques & you will use the grades / types that You'v always used , You show good confidence in your ways & the work that your team puts out 😄👍 And that shows people that view your videos & work you know what side is up & how things are done correctly 👍 You wont get a top end product if you dont put in the correct preparation hey ! Cheers from bundy 🍹🕺😊

100% spot on mate. By doing these videos I realise I’m opening myself up to criticism from those who have learnt or do things differently. It’s important to remember, we all do things slightly different but what’s most important is to remember, if the result is right , the process can’t be wrong . I simply share the way I do my craft and what works for me.
Thank you for your feedback mate .
