Nice video. Just wanted to say you can also build up the layers of paint and then wet sand with 3000-5000 grit and cover with 2K clear ( but that's a new video in itself ) Always a pleasure to see the indestructible Highlander appear in the video.
@@Shadowman... great point, thanks for sharing 👍 I finally got around to doing all 4 struts on the highlander last week, that was fun 😄 not sure when Ill get to editing and posting video. But sure rides lot better, no more saggy butt and harsh ride over large bumps. Back ones were completely worn out, they were stock at 130k
@@JonnyDIY Wow, struts are a big job. It must have been sad to tear out those struts made in Japan, but boy do they last. The Highlanders between 2001 -2007 were built on MT. OLYMPUS BY THE GODS as a gift to HUMANITY ☺
@@Shadowman... yeah I was surprised the fronts were still decent condition. I put good KYBs in. I thought about getting new stock ones, but were pretty pricey. When I took out the stock ones I was thinking what a shame they cant just rebuild them and put new seals and fluid in them.
i think there was more rust.. The state of that paint looks terrible, i think the best you could do is sanding down the whole body part and then spray painting it
@@kenmastersmaster 🤣 just wanted to demonstrate a stop rust fix, not restore like new. This paint is way too far gone to bother with. The whole front clip actually needs replacing due to rust, but thats a huge job. I may do a quick respray on the blue though. The white top is perfect condition still. I know paint and body work, just wanted to show people who've never done it before. I actually shot a video I need to edit of fixing a bunch of rust under windshield of this VW over summer. Will try and post soon. Thanks for checking video out 🤙
