Happy Monday, Everyone!!! Here's a little care free car audio mix with Remy's new trunk setup 🔊Despite the quick mistake, the results came out pretty nice 😀
More Build Vids ON THE WAY!!! ⚒️
First! lol As for the metallic painting... you should of used a base coat first (silver would gave made the blue metallic pop). Once the base coat is nice and even, you have to let it fully dry/cure... then lightly sand the base coat, then you apply the metallic colour you want to use. Doing it this way uses far less of the metallic colour. To protect the metallic paint, a durable clear coat should be used (my choice would be urethane or poly).
I love Subwoofers 🔊🔊
I miss these kind of videos
make more videos like this please,, it's nice to see random project's 👍
Bro! We have the same screen, keyboard, and mouse! I love my dell curved screen, corsair board, and razer mouse! Great taste brother!!
As a painter, I noticed many years ago, that metallic paints, tend to be like candy dyes, where they are more transparent. A good way to stop "tiger stripes" is to lay down a few good coats of a base color, similar to your desired finished color. Also, you won't be trying to cover metallic flakes over more metallic flakes...and get build up. You can hold the can back a bit, and make even, but slightly overlapping strokes,to get a good overall finish. Then clear it with a few coats to seal it in. Just my thoughts to help next time! 👍 great video
Body work and paint man lol
I'm only a hobby painter and I always do base colour under metallic.
Not sure what you are painting but no…why would you lay down a different base. They have sealers for this reason. To stop tiger striping you lay light coats and do dust coats or often called fog coats before clear.
Because metallics reflect light, you can still see the tiger stripes at an angle. Spraying base color same as metallic will help at certain angles but will be noticeable. Spray overlapping 50% and use a lightbulb to check for coverage.
@@MK_Designz fog coats/ control coats are so the metallics stand up evenly. It will not get rid of tiger stripes. You just need to practice . Do not spray metallic dry because you can see the texture in the clear. Just do medium wet costs and let it flash
Bruce is the type of dude that will fix your lawnmower for you, then mow your lawn to make sure it's repaired correctly. Such a wholesome and positive fella. I've been watching since the old Chrysler van and won't stop watching anytime soon. You're a real one Bruce please never change.
My advice would have been paint it with the non metallic paint first then top coat with the metallic to finish it and a clear coat
I was shocked to see he used latex for primer underneath enamel paint.
That's what I call mutual respect for your brother basshead right there my man. Thanks for sharing this my friend.
See, a good friend will always be grateful just cus you helped. Remmy seems like a chill guy .
Dude you have totally made me back into a bass head like I used to be!!! Thank you for the inspiration!!!
Same here man! I’m just searching for any excuse to install a system in a car!
Yeah EXO has always got me excited about bass.
Exo gave me the bug again 5 yrs ago and Hayden Price had me wanting to go low.... 9-29Hz 6th order.
Nothing like a well built slot ported box with 10s. Just goes good. Dude seems like a great guy.
Exo you are such a nice guy to do this for your friend. A good basshead won't let his fellow friend go without bass
Loving the simplicity of it don't always have to go to extreme to have fun
Hope to see more videos. Doesn't have to be the big van. Build videos like this is cool to
New kids are getting into car audio everyday
You needed to add 2k clear coat. It would look amazing and only cost $20 more!
You can use the auto color match paint
Love helping friends with car audio. That box would have looked great with flush mounted subs and carpet.
you can always do paint correction with light sanding compounding and buffing. if its latex paint might clogg up often will need lots of cleaning the pad for good results. good to keep in mind for later work. Claybar can even remove some of the overspray if your really taking your time and letting faces dry
Kudos Bruce! Glad you decided to upload sooner than a month and something different like the old days!
A little bit of Rubbing compound or polishing compound could get that haze out, they are just abrasive enough to get out some imperfections but not take out the paint coating
One thing you did wrong is you never stop and switch direction mid panel. Start just off the side, paint all the way across past the other end, then reverse. It's makes it more even and gets that blotchiness out of it.
Long smooth even passes.
Aah mannn. I mis this so much. The building, the upgrading, the fine tuning… i don’t have the money for it but if i had, i would building again. Keep the video’s going man 💪💪💪
I feel ya! Metallic needs a bunch of clearcoat to turn out great... Still turned out amazing with the other paint!
Great job on the paint and everyone needs a buddy like you EXO that was super cool of you and repainting the box. ✌️
Thanks for the shout out at the end remy
man that country out there is beautiful
Remy is super chill! You should have him on the channel more often🤙
Your the MAN dude. What a great job and the ultimate boss man too. Great collaboration 👌
Haven’t watched a exo videos in a while and god this felt like I was a kid again watching exo growing up glad to see you still in the game🤝
For that metallic you're much better off with a spray gun and a compressor. Then you can thin the paint if needed and adjust the spread of the nozzle. That rattle can metallic is not great for covering large areas evenly.
Isn't it cheaper also that was allot of cans
Well done sir. Living life to da fullest. Love the blue
Nice job! Looks great! 😊
The issue with the metallics is that it's more transparent than opaque. You could see from the beginning that it was gonna take several coats to get uniform coverage. Maybe next time try and find a flat spray paint that is somewhat close to the desired finish color and it would be much easier to get that slick uniform coverage. Still looked great though. Anyone who has followed your channel for any amount of time knew you'd get it right or never stop trying.
Yeah sometimes paint doesn't go as planned, overall that box looks great. Thing fits perfectly in the trunk 👍
After 10 years of watching your videos, I still get so excited when you post! Keep up the great content Bruce. Wondering how you will reveal the van build.. maybe like Frankenstein?
im happy subs are still a thing in this day and age,,they were really popular when i was a teen in my first car and im 45 now lol
Good job EXO
My favorite color of blue!! Great job on all the paints! That's a sexy box❤
Outstanding job, I love the extra energy and effort you put in no matter what you do, I'm always excited for the next video, keep up the great work.
Craving Bohemeth build updates.......
C'mon dude the anticipation is killer.
Finally got my 99 2 door Tahoe out the shop. About to start tearing out the interior. Man I wish I had you here with me for assistance.
Get those subs and amps in your ride. We want to see you destroy the competition!!
great video ....friends helping friends ....gotta love it ...
keep the cam rolling during meting fans we would love to see there builds too
Someone should make a compilation of every time that Bruce says "hey youtublous exo coming at ya here feelin great".
Does anyone else just want to hang out and skate with EXO?
Dude such a simple video but you made it exciting, I dont think Ive ever enjoyed a box paint video before lol
Another great video !!!! Love it
I just wanted to add that box... WOW👌👍it looks great in that Mustang. 👏
What I found is metallic coats can benefit from a mist coat, like far far away then run a clear over it to fix level any texture from flake.
Now Remy has a good looking box. Also love his Mustang. I'm surprised how loud those 2 10" shallow mount subwoofers get.
I’ve been watching eco for many many many years. Ever since 500 subs
Looks good!!!!!
Great job man 👨 on that Subwoofer Box
Thanks exo, an remmy your box turned out pretty cool like the blue .an those subs sound great dude I like them . They were totally pounding .
In a world of car audio out for themselves-tube... good video bro.
Need to sand between coats as well. Metallics usually don’t cover well on fiber materials like plywood and mdf.
Another way to get a good even coat is to clear the box after you prime it. The clear with soak in as well as give it a better gloss fine once it’s painted. When I paint my planes I always do body work prime then about six coats of clear then paint and the finish comes out amazing always. Love the videos as always.
I started to use spray filler / primer and that made sooo much difference. Before I used regular filler and that sucked up paint like its no ones biddness...
I got the Xv3's in mine. Been in my box so long I forgot how massive they are lol. My suspension don't forget tho😂
Loved the video man ❤
Good Video EXO
Looks good, them little tens are loud. Good bandwidth.
Great paint job , should have counter sunk them 🎉
skim coat fill the holes , put 3-4 very light coats of metallic and hit it with high gloss clear or roll on some self leveling counter top epoxy / poly
When bass van finish EXO I'm so excited to see them subs flex
I don’t know, I would have just cleared over the metallic paint to even the finish. Looks like he’s smuggling smurfs now. Nice effort anyhow.
*thumbs up* pretty slick
Turned out good 👍🏻 I use fiberglass then paint
Glad to see you are still strong with the bass passion I have been following you since 2013 and you inspired me to get into the bass game then and I had to get re acquainted with everything since it had massively changed since the 90's I loved it my younger cousin got into it for awhile and we got to bond over it and I started going to competitions and competing plus I got to build some nice sub boxes for a few people and I was proud but then one day I collapsed at the dinner table and everything changed long story short after 2yrs of tests and ending up in a wheelchair I parked my car with a 5month old build with the mindset that I will never be able to enjoy that passion again but I kept watching you and I still had just a little spark of hope left then I finally came across a van that is not only set up for my access but it has a lot of good things like upgraded alt but with only power windows and locks everything else is bone stock manual ramp which never fails and lots of room to swap over my build from my car which I sold but was able to have help to get most of the system out of I'm slowly but surely getting things gathered back up and I'm now starting to get my big 3 done and in a few weeks I will be able to get my power wire oreded I don't know how I'm going to get it done with one arm and a partially working leg but I'm going to keep at it until I get it done thanks bruce for not giving up on your dream and giving me the feeling of usefulness again bless you and yours my friend basshead4life👊
Lol, when you opened the paint booth the first thing I thought was "dexter" 😅
Man good job , I commented before watch all the way , you got it done man
Awesome video
That metallic is a hard product to use. I had the same issues. I painted the hood on my old farm truck with it. 6 years later it looks fine. I'm surprised it actually has held up this long.
Hey EXO!!! Get a Zoom Q2n camera. It has a volume knob on it so you can adjust the input of the sound to where it wont clip. It is stereo and 4k and records audio crystal clear and you dont get the distorted sound
Love your vids EXO. Been sub`d since way back when :D
getting ready to wall my 2004 civic coop with some sundown 18s and the box looks good for the girls we date mr EXO HAVE A GOOD DAY
A newbie question, which placement gives better results usually: forward, upward ect. There are so many opinions... Great attitude, effort and content! Keep up the good work brother!
Nice bro!
Very nice
Hell yeah I love it blues my favorite color
Super ...🤝
You should paint it up to look like the Pepsi box at 10:00 haha 🤙 rustoleum literally just screwed me over this past weekend. Feeeeeelyour pain bro
Wild how the dude works at a car audio place and still he juat twists the audio wires together and calls it a day lol. Its just like the way that a mechanic doesnt like working on his cars or a plumber will jerry rig a faucet at his own place.
Nothing wrong with being perfect 👍👍👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Rusto owes you a sponsorship and a crate of paint.
Lol I have a white Tahoe that I’m doing a build in. Love the video
Exo, next time you need primer, try Zissler Bullseye 1-2-3. Comes in rattle cans, pals, and buckets just like Kilz, good stuff.
NICE
Hey man big fan!!! What all shows will you be at next
Like added to the 2K Like count
The cat hair stuck to the back seat is killing me bro
You should face the subs to the back for deeper bass, then add some deadening material.
The o'lady would love this Mustang, she's looking for a 22-23 GT Blue but with that black package
Nice bro
Like Chick Fil A 😂
Homeboy howled like a coyote when he saw his box 😂
Need to start carrying b2 audio next bruce😌
Is Frankenstein your old expedition still out there in the world somewhere? I wonder about that thing sometimes
I’ve had the problem too. S o the way I kinda fixed that problem was to to spray I one direction don’t change direction. Then 1000 grit sand and then a clear coat.
The tiger stripes I would take the paint out and used a Wagner multipurpose spray guy. No tiger stripes to problem. Then a clear.
Did he plan to mount the box to the car also? Nice job guys!
i did my box in metallic blue as well but rather then spray paint i used a metallic blue alcohol ink from hobby lobby and mixed it with clear polyurethane my box turned out a beautiful glass like blue and in the sun is stunning
the wrapping wires together and lectical tape needs to get fixed asap, otherwise it looks and sounds great.
Yes man I couldn't believe I was seeing that
