Hey Eric, I been a mobile auto paint repair guy for 20 years in the Prescott area. Do not throw those headlights away. Wet sand them with 400 wet/dry sand paper and then spray them with clear enamel. Make sure to get all the yellow off when you sand them. They will look like new.
I'm gonna do that! Thanks bud!
Tell me , would you use that pen paint to paint tailgates ?
💯💯💯
I saw video's on youtube of people using deep woods off, they let it set a few mins then wiped it off and they were clear as a bell. Watch the videos and if you try it let us know.
Nice tip! Thank you!! I will try that 2013 and 2011 original headlights! Needless to say, driving at night..no thank you. Lol. After I spiff up those headlights enamel, oh yeah! Maybe, night driving isn't out of the question. Thank you again!! Big hugs to you and your family.
The only imperfection on the truck… except for the paint missing at the top of both passenger side doors, the big ass ding on the passenger bedside, the rip on the drivers seat and then those other chips… and then those yellow headlights. Other than that, it’s a great truck with a 4.6L engine.
Future tip Eric, there are paint places who will mix paint matched exactly to your paint on your vehicle, faded and all by using a special camera. Then they have really good quality clear coat. Both come in a spray can, like the large cans you might but at Walmart or something. Roughly $20 a can. Much better paint quality than that duplicolor stuff from AutoZone or O'Reilly's.
Change the oil every 3 thousand miles religiously. That's the best thing you can do for those 5.4 3 valve engines. And change the coolant frequently.
But he doesn’t have a 5.4 3 valve. He has a 4.6L SOHC.
Oh god he’s gonna start sticking a bunch of cringy accessories on the thing.
Hey Eric way to go on the Truck man Love the upgrades
It looks good Eric. It's a work truck and now it won't rust. Love the rain guards.
Sadly Eric that color white is famous for peeling.
Seems the grey primer underneath goes bad.
The whole truck will eventually peel.
no it won't--have a 2001 ranger with a few spots like yours but it definitly hasn't peeled the whole truck
the little light aren't twinkling Clark ... I know Art and thanks for pointing that out
First year's of waterborn paint and factory adhesion problems. All manufacturers had them sadly in the beginning.
@@blairinhemetActually it probably will, 25 year body man here. You can’t use 1 truck as an example to say it won’t flake haha.
Truck and property is lookin great Eric….
Also - pro tip here free of charge. The paint in the can is oxford white and would have matched the factory color before your truck sat in the sun for 20 years but the paint doesn’t match faded paint. You’d have to get a shop to blend your paint to make it match as best as possible. So you think you can buy paint for a 2004 vehicle but not for a 1980’s vehicle? 😂 At least you already know you’re doing it wrong…
Nice truck. Don’t think to much on little things just enjoy it the helper it will be. I know….some of us folks like to make it “right for me” on vehicles.
No a thing wrong with fixing this and that.
Rain….wow that’s some rain!!
Am sure Arizona needs that rain. Hugs and keep enjoying life
Instead of taking the front grill off, you can put a piece of cardboard behind it and tape everything off in front.
TIP rhe driver he will do anything you ask
Have you looked up air filter for a 2004 ford f-150 5.4L and figured out how to make a flat rectangular filter fit in that large round air filter canister you have? Once you load the bed down or hookup the trailer with bike, you'll feel the difference of 231HP/293Torque(4.6L) compared to 300HP/365Torque (5.4L).
Try armor all on the headlights , plastic parts and tires. The suns uv will dry out plastic keeping it oiled keeps it from fading don't spray paint plastic it requires a special paint and will ways peel it is better to restore the original plastic. Plastic is made from oil so oiling it is what keeps it shining ✨️ 😉
For all your faded plastic take a small blow torch (small fire starter bottle) and torch your plastic and it’ll look brand new!!
🙋♀️🌻 wow
Luv your videos..reminds me when I restored all 3 of my cars: 75 vanilla vw beetle,71 racing red MGB convertible with chrome wire wheels and 77 BMW 320i metal flake green, but appears gold at sunset or by the beach.
Check out using a butane torch to turn your faded black back to a nice shine instead of painting them.
Don't do it. It lasts a week and goes back to the way it was.
The heat draws out the oils but that can only work so much.
Good temporary fix, the paint is starting to fail. So no telling how long till it all starts peeling. But that could be a year or 10 years. Looks good for now
A few months ago, if your camera fell, you would have growled like a grizzly. It's a sign of your happiness. So happy for you💜🩵💚
Try Mothers "Back to black" on your front grill. I think the black paint will make things worse.
Looks great Eric.
Congrats on the new truck, Eric and may it serve you well. Negative Nancys (or Nancies?) will be negative.
i like a good rain. i like that you eat real food 😊. skylink doing good.
When I first got my 03 Tahoe, I washed a bunch of the white paint off. I tried to poof can it an most of that came right off too.
Eric , you should have used a little bit of bondo on the touch ups and sand it flush before the paint . Also brown sand paper is for wood only . You need the black for sanding metal or automotive paint.looks pretty good though with all those coats 😎
yep, could have wet sanded the paint edges and had a smooth touchup.
Is no one going to mention how that paint thing Eric used look like doctor who screw driver.
You could rent a skid steer to spread that rock would be way easier
Finance wise, I'm having a really tough time, seeing what you have acomplished with your youtube channel income, really makes me feel happy. Even though I'm having a rough time, It somehow makes me feel better seeing how many cool things you have been able to do. Your living the life I wish I could be, Thank you for sharing.
Eric I recommend adding mud guards (front and rear) and rear wheel well liners for the F150. It will help prevent the rock chips.
On the polastic outside, that is not painted. Use something like "CERAKOTE® Ceramic Trim Coat Kit - Quick Plastic Trim Restorer - Ceramic Coating Black Trim Restoration to Last Over 200 Washes - A Ceramic Coating, Not a Dressing" It will do the trick and you can use ie on your grill as well.
Taterland is looking awesome
A large bar and shield Harley Davidson would look in chrome would look amazing on that back window under the name
Your truck is looking great!! The improvements on your land are really nice. I like it.😊😊😊
I have those rain guards on my 2021 RAM 2wd Warlock. My kids laughed at me as being corny, but I love them. I can crack the windows when it raining a d get all the great smell, none of thecrain in the truck. Stops window howling when cracked at hiway speed. And- I just like the way they look, so its a win-win for me. My truck is dark gray so they look just fine. Yours look awesome against the white paint. You do you, Eric. 👍🏻
Put some 4x4 decals on the bedside 😂
hit it with 2k grit sandpaper and buffing compound it will blend in have painted a few cars
ford 5.4 spark plugs are notorious for breaking in half when changing, replace them sooner than later
Looking good 🙂
Order the 20 again. When he arrives, hold a hundred dollar bill up and say "It's yours if I can get you to split it in a few places." 100% he will split it as much as you want. And that is hella easier than doing it yourself with a shovel.
Bingo! 👍
I miss the Tracker already .......
Both the truck and your property are looking good!
you should get some seat covers
Agree with brushing everything but the tailgate. I figured it would end with you doing so. If you notice some overspray just wet sand with 3-5,000 grit brother. You’ll be alright man. It will last a lot longer than you think even with just the little prep you did.
Is that hurricane beril👉🏿🌪️
Paint fix on the tail gate came out nice I wasn't expecting it to look that good.
20year old truck is modern? Lol
Well at least it's from THIS CENTURY unlike the Tracker
GOOD MORNING BEST NOMADIC FANTASTIC ERIC JAX TH-cam VIDEO 🐈🐈
On the headlights , SYLVANIA Headlight Restoration Kit worked great for me .
That intro was a little dramatic to say the least 🤣🤣🤣
For the black plastic stuff get some back to black from auto store should be by the car wax and stuff
Also, just put cardboard behind the grill and tape off the rest of it on the front and spray paint it. It should be clean?
It looks so good. That’s what I miss about owning my property. Making improvements. Planning. Love it
OMG, you got me when you knocked down your camera "where'd you guys go" LOL
Frosty is looking good. So happy for you.
Hey Eric, before doing the black spray paint, try Maguire's Black Magic plastic restorer.
No touch tire cleaner for all your black plastics, looks new when finished better than painted
Wait til you have to replace the exhaust manifolds which you will absolutely have to.
My neighbor had a Harly Davidson f150 edition. It had a supercharger. It had the same badge. People will think it's a H.D. edition 😅
Hey Eric and 🐈⬛ 🐈
You can't hang anything from your rearview mirror in Arizona. It's a traffic violation.
Pilot, get some polishing compound for that. It'll make it look nice and smooth
Black rims would really pop! Looking good Eric.
LOVE THE WEATHER INTROS!!!!
Agnes Smith is going to love your real truck
All is well Eric the tailgate is protected.
Its a work farm truck thing you will get dings and stuff on it just use it it's not a show truck have a good day
You’re so full of it! It started raining and you grabbed your camera.
Don't keep the paint pen in the car, it will dry out. Keep it in a dry place.
Instead of painting the grill get some Back to Black by Mcguires. Won't have to take the grill off then
let's gooo!!
Such a nice looking truck. I would have probably got a blue or Forrest green color. But i don't live in Arizona where having a white vehicle is just a smart move to protect from the sun.
Your truck is looking good! I watched a video the other day where somebody used bug spray like off to clean their lights. I plan to try it.
You better run back to Florida.
😎
Is it wrong if it works and you're happy with the outcome?
Frosty looks nice - fits the Nomadic Fanatic!
I am a painter. I have a suggestion if you would have feathered the hard edges it would had been perfect. From a far you can't tell just like you said!
Nice work !!!
Keep Rocking On!
Dude the truck turned out great!
Use propane torch to bring back the black on all them plastics :~)
Watch a couple TH-cam videos and thank me later.
Cheers from, Ohio.
Can't wait to see the finished product after enough barley pops has his courage up to light the tip of that torch.
Maybe running boards, I’ve been debating between running boards or actually putting rv steps on the passenger side because my mom needs a step stool to get into my truck.
Also thinking of a retractable bumper step for the back bumper or a tailgate ladder to help me get in the back. 😅
I had running boards put on my Silverado. Best idea ever.
On all the plastics I think you should just use armerall with az sun I’m not sure how long the black paint will hold up
Paint the plastic, only solution
Armorall actually speeds up degradation in the hot Arizona sun. Proven it will ruin tires and cause them to crack earlier than normal.
Don't spray paint the grill or any plastic parts. Use the tire shine to make the plastic black again.
Truck is Looking good buddy, good stuff
You have Frosty looking great Eric👍
Enjoy your new truck👍🙂
Ford primer back then had problems with paint sheeting keep at Eric
Truck is really looking good, love the touch-ups! 😊
I like your improvements. No, nothing is perfect, but its way better looking. Be well!
Protect that nice truck from hail, maybe a cover or shelter.
😺🇺🇸🐎🐂🤠
Just sand the headlights. A kit art autozone is like $20
Little improvements add up
Will he ever complain about a regular rain storm again
you're eat up with it son.
Little mods are my favorite.
Eric ♥♥♥♥♥🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺 Tara and Opie ♥♥♥♥♥, treats and tummy rubs.
💜💜💜tfs💜💜💜
Cerakote products at Walmart work great on tires and headlights
You should have named it cold tater 😂
