Dave watched your video on more epoxy with the heating on. You need to edit the bit out about burning waste oil, as it requires a license that cost £3,000 for the first year and £1,500 for every year after that. Keep up the good work👍
Dave I thought you had a log burner and a diesel heater in the garage. Best get some radiators in there and a log burner with a back boiler heating setup. Our local scrap yard has one works really well keeping the office warm. It will help with paint drying usually has to be 15 degrees plus for paint drying curing. Keep up the good work and you'll have it done for spring.👍
People may slag off using a roller, but if I have a high-end car in here, it's getting stuff brushed/rolled on where the ham & eggs yokes will get it sprayed on. Brushing/rolling puts on a much thicker coat that last. Spraying usually doesn't. I'll brush the first coat on heavy, then spray a coat over the top to flat it. It's reserved for the higher end stuff because it takes far longer, but it's also far better.
I know in the old days high end coach builders (ie Rolls Royce) always brush painted the cars then flattened and polish to a glass finish. I do think that buy applying manual pressure such as brushing or roller ing on the paint does give it a far better chance of adhesion. Very nice technique Dave. 👍 🇬🇧
Nice job Dave ( or Darth Vader in that mask 😂)can’t believe it’s getting to this stage it’s come such a long way! My dear old dad was a decorator from about 1945 apart from normal decorator duties he was actually commissioned to hand paint 2 cars and van in his life and he made a damn fine job of it, you bought back some great memories mate thanks ….great vid 👍
Hi Dave you’ve go to keep the garage at a minimum of 20c while doing this work for drying and flash might cost you a few quid on heating but needs to be done, also you’d be better off buying some scales to mix your paint there also good for mixing filler to get the same velocity throughout 👍
Dave (I’ve just seen your wood burner short) - why not weld an old glass oven door front on to it then you can see the logs burning. ( pay me later buddy, I’m full of bright ideas ha ha!) 😁🎅🏼
I bought a load of graduated paint mixing cups from Amazon to save any guesswork, if you use too much hardener it makes the paint "plasticky" and it scratches/clogs really easily. I also warm the panels first with a hot air gun, especially in this weather.
Surprised you haven't had the big burny rig fired up for this weather. Looking a really good job, I guess the black just keeps it from flash rusting after stripping back to make sure no problems underneath. Then filling and two pack primer, high build and spot priming two pack and top coats?
I found if you cover the car in polythene, an electric heater will warm the panels save risk of condensation, roll oneside back to work then with suitable frame, pull the sheet down and heater back on.
Nice Darth Vader Impression, looks like you managed to wing it using the roller and the finish looks adorable .Ant n Deck , no , would rather watch the paint dry ,it's not primer time TV .A quarter of the car already painted.Looking better already 😊
Good progress in this video, shame the weather is a potential problem, hopefully the epoxy went off adequately before the condensation happened. Could you use a space heater or something similar in the garage to keep it at bay and speed the cure time a little? How many layers of paint or colour variances did you find at most when sanding back?
Hi Dave, I used the same primer as you on the bottom of mine applied with a roller too, but found that the foam gloss rollers disintegrated after about 10 mins use due to the 2k paint. Did you not experience same? Huw
Not yet, but they are expanding, they are Harris rollers, a known quality with decorators, my dad used to be a decorator and he swore by Harris brushes.
@@DavesGarageuk Ah right, that's good to know. Don't have a whole lot more to do on mine now, but useful for reference as I too still have some of my 3 litres left over!
Looks like the epoxy your using is a marine epoxy, so you will be fine using it in cold weather, they are designed for that, as you can imagine most boats/ships get painted in cold damp environments.
Dave just a tip if you don't already know when you finish using your roller and stop using it for a while seal it into a plastic bag and it will keep it soft and ready to use again. Great to watch it coming back to life.
Dave, strip the underside of that bonnet to bare metal again, otherwise I promise it will come back and haunt you later on as it will never cure properly now! Look at the spec sheets on the epoxys you are using, many of these modern ones need baking on so you need some heat in the panels. If you dont have garage heater, I would recommend a propane Bullfunch 1400. These do not need an electric power source and they are gentle as not to disturb the dust.
Dave Vader may the paint be with you.
🤣🤣
Aawww I was gonna say that!!
@Bigtbuilder 🤣
It’s always nice when the notification comes up for Dave’s garage
Thanks 😊

Hi Glen, I do have the gas bottle fire thing, you're right, I should have got it fired up
Great episode Dave 👍

Thanks, it's the way it was done back in the day
@@jamesward5721 fully agree 👍👍
I did the same with my 68 Charger. Less waste, levelled out quite well plus it was getting block sanded anyway.

Thank you 😊
Coming along now is the time to prep well as you know. Look forward to next video
Thank you , thank you for the inspiration i cant wait to get to this stage with my hunter an capri
You're welcome 😊

Thanks for the tip
(My wife’s electronic scales seem very accurate) so I bet they’re a lot cheaper than “professional “ paint scales..
@@philtucker1224 you can get some cheap scales that way down to a gram for less that £40
Viscosity
It's nice to have heat,! But not really nessasery it's activated to dry 🤨
Looking good davey boy
I was with you until the black went on, now you have to do it in Scalextric Escort Mexico Black and Yellow :)
🤣
When cleaning up the garage, a leaf blower is revolutionary, you can get so much dust blown off the shelves and out the door!
So glad the bonnet stripes are gone Dave. Good progress
Hi Dave, wouldn't it have been simpler to cut a square out, then weld the nut on the nut on and then weld the square back on. Just a thought 😅
Probably 🤣
Why not if your going to block it after anyway love the work Dave as always
That's what I'm thinking
And I’m glad you mentioned the stripes 😜 seriously looking forward to seeing it finished
Hi Dave something I can tell you when it dry’s cover with a blanket. I had a car in metal for years no rust did sand it after
Dave (I’ve just seen your wood burner short) - why not weld an old glass oven door front on to it then you can see the logs burning. ( pay me later buddy, I’m full of bright ideas ha ha!) 😁🎅🏼

Try a greenhouse heater Dave , you would be amazed how much they take the edge off

Yep, got the burner going now as it happens

Looks good one quick question why are the two bars in middle of bonnet not mitred together instead of the bend over the other bar ??
No idea
@ so is that how it came to you ?
Nice job mate : ar you gona guide coat the car ????
Yes mate
dave, you can coat over epoxy without keying, normally within 72 hours, chemical bond
Nice Darth Vader Impression, looks like you managed to wing it using the roller and the finish looks adorable .Ant n Deck , no , would rather watch the paint dry ,it's not primer time TV .A quarter of the car already painted.Looking better already 😊
Dave going back to bare metal, you really need to acid etch before the epoxy.😊
It's OK as long as there is a good scratch in the metal for the epoxy to grip into
Always acid etch bare metal
A jet fire would have been needed to dry the air and warm the shed/panels . Great work considering the elements
Dave . A couple of heatguns on some sort of frame will sort these curing probs . £40 tops
It makes all the difference if yoou do
Should have rivetnut it they work great
@@meknownothing I’m not sure you can buy those with the old whitworth threads.

Ha, yes, I should have filmed the paint layers, there was a few, it's been, white/gold/white/red 🤣
Nasty dent in that front wing.
Nasty dents all over it
Really jumped out when the black was applied
Dave do you have whitworth tap to run through the threads after painting?
I don't

There are black foam rollers available that last much longer than the cheaper white ones.
Dave love your stuff m8.
Think it's abit cold to address paint work m8.
Should be OK with approx tho.
Time will tell 😉

Happy days, that's good to know, thanks
Dave, you need some music for the fast forward bits it’s like being in the dentist 😂
I'm squeamish, I had to fast forward....it was making my fillings hurt!
🤣
I used to put music in, but some hated it, so I asked fir a general consensus = most prefere the dentist noise, go figure ☺️
I had to turn the volume down, it set my dogs off barking and racing around the house 😂
Dave just a tip if you don't already know when you finish using your roller and stop using it for a while seal it into a plastic bag and it will keep it soft and ready to use again. Great to watch it coming back to life.
@@williamcottam3719 yes good tip Bill, if I’m doing a big house job over several days I wrap mine in clingfilm and it lastly for days 👍👍👍
The foam will breakdown in my experience plus this is epoxy so it will harden eventually
Pretty sure most epoxy primers have a open time window so you can just paint straight over with no sanding.

Love the way you filed the found bonnet nut away for future use! 😂
A true Welshman at work 😆😉
Yeah I laughed at the nut disposal technique too 😂
