Block party choosing the right sanding block and paper

Block sanding made easy…….well more like what sand paper grit and block to use for the smoothest and quickest results. Working on project mockingbird and getting very close to final paint.

this is one of the best explanation videos for block sanding on the inner web Jon. Thanks.

[@VinylVillageGarage]

Right on. I hope it is very helpful to help make sense of this stuff

[@firstgenerationgarage2803]

Great job on explaining all the hand blocking that needs to be done for a great paint job people really don't realize how important this step is for a great panit job at the end and it's totally a different skill not easy to master but by the looks of things you have mastered it and I can say that because I seen your cars in person thank you for sharing your knowledge Jonathan it's really appreciated

[@VinylVillageGarage]

Thanks! I am excited to see how my black bird is going to look after using the linear block. If it turns out great it will be totally worth it.

[@bradsrestorations1085]

Jon, you do excellent work! Your videos are some of the best, "how to" there are. Keep up the good work. God bless

[@VinylVillageGarage]

Much appreciated, I show what I have learned and the results. No smoke and mirrors here.

Great job! I can appreciate the steadfast due diligence you're giving this car. Been through similar stuff and the end result is worth it.

[@VinylVillageGarage]

Yes all the little details add up.

You bet, I can’t wait to see how my black car comes out. I want to see if the linear block made a difference

Shame about the lost footage but it's coming along! Some great techniques there, cheers!

[@VinylVillageGarage]

It was a sad day when i realized what i had done. I wasn’t happy and a little heart broken.

[@perrywe1]

the round dura block that looks kinda like a paper towel tube works great on those contured body lines on the fenders and quarters on the 69. I love it.

[@VinylVillageGarage]

I bet it does. Both the 1969 Camaro and bird have that radius lip on the wheel well

[@user-fk5dl6cs3q]

Great idea using a white sealer after finishing metal work.
Thanks for the tip on metallic paint and 600 grit too.
My car will be 1967 Pontiac "Fathom Blue Metallic" (someday).

[@VinylVillageGarage]

Right on! That will look great when done.

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Sanding Party... I will bring the Dew and the laughs! Just what I needed to see before heading into my sanding of my Bird.

[@VinylVillageGarage]

Once it cools down there you can have a block party

[@justindennis1186]

Man I was pumped when I saw they made Hard Mountain Dew. Then I saw it said zero sugar so I was skeptical. Had to try it though and I was right, zero sugar made it suck I thought. Could have been great but I’m not a fan of the artificial sweetener taste.

[@VinylVillageGarage]

It didn’t blow my socks off. I did hear a rumor that the orange Mountain was discontinued ☹️ I have not confirmed that but that will be a sad day.

[@VinylVillageGarage]

Thank you 🙏

[@JK_Nex_Garage]

Thanks for braking it down. Liking the black guide coat. If it’s needs more high build, can you paint over the guide coat or does it need to be removed?

[@VinylVillageGarage]

The answer is I don’t know. It doesn’t say in the directions either way. I normally just fill or primer over it. Now if it was areas that where completely black and untouched by sand paper I believe I would scuff the area out with a Scotch bright pad the apply filler

[@JK_Nex_Garage]

@@VinylVillageGarage Good to know, thanks.

What does Vinyl Village Garage stand for?

[@VinylVillageGarage]

Well it’s from here in the Midwest we call the housing editions vinyl villages because they pop up quick and everywhere and the houses are vinyl sided. Since I live in a vinyl village and work out of my small garage that is where vinyl village garage came from. But when I picked the name I didn’t put in consideration the most of the world doesn’t know what vinyl village meant
