I've actually used both the glue on and weld in methods and to be honest, I prefer the glue on method best. Modern adhesives are a miracle. I've never ( just jinxed myself) had one to come back. Like you, prep work is critical for a good job. Excellent videos!!!!!
I'm glad to see such excellent work - not only for the expertise shown but for the fact that at least one shop in this country is still doing it.

It always amazes me the different paint motions each painter uses, only the finished product shows how good their techniques are. I always went verticle, horizontal and always did the edges first.
Every painter moves differently - fast, slow, wide pattern, small pattern, etc. Bottom line is the paint has to be put on evenly and wet without runs and it will look great. Thanks for the comment and insight Charles :)

Great video...Thanks. I have been playing around with glue on panels. Just did cab corners on my 2000 Chev Rustorado. Still butt welded part of it but used adhesive all along the bottom. Worked great. A friend of mine does loads of it at his shop and loves it. Rust repairs last longer, less labour, etc., seems to work well in many areas. And it seems newer vehicles use a load of glue on panels and parts! Thanks again! Mike 🇨🇦🍁👍
@@luisbatista1103 Hi - I get the product from a company called Cross Canada Auto...they are a pretty good sized body shop supply company. I think they may have recently undergone a name change to LKQ but I am not sure about that. Any decent auto supply place that caters to body repair will have it. Probably Amazon too if you just want to shop from home. Look for autonomy panel adhesive. Good luck and have a good day! Mike 🇨🇦 🍁 👍
Like taking candy from a baby! You make it look simple only, 3K in body tools and all right equipment. Glad you are NOT breathing all the poisons. LOVE this kind of work, just cant do it any more after my Cancer diagnosis. I have five 28 year old cars. Have to farm this work out. Most body shops are now bolt and unbolt. Wont do this work. Bunch of prima- donnas. Thanks for the video!
doing the same truck right now never thought about gluing them on i normally weld them but hard to keep the arch panel from distorting and warping plus they always seam to Frankenstein down the road .I will give it a try !
More than one way to skin a cat. I think you did great already used this method and it worked. Only reason is I couldn’t find the the part that was rusted. So I made my patch panel. Thanks
I'm sitting here in the AZ desert and the wind is blowing the sand and dust while I'm watching your video and I'm thinking "Oh hell, I'm getting dust all over your work!"

You would be able to do that (just the primer) if you were using a brush but with a spray gun you have to do 3 coats of color and each one has to melt the dry spray of the last so it gets bigger and bigger with each coat. Then you have dry spray with the last coat that has to be covered by clear coat. Basically the dry edges of spray is what causes you to have to get bigger and bigger. Not sure if that makes sense or not :)
Thanks for the video it is great. Starting this project on my Truck. How much Adheisive do you need on a normal Wheel arch and can I use plain screws to hold position of arch or do I need the Clecos?
@@harrywalker5836 It would be good to flange it if you could get a wide enough flange and be able to do corners, sharp curves, wheel well lips, rockers, edges, etc.
No - I think because the seam is tapped down and the filler is the buffer. Here's the follow up on this and another truck 3 years ago - th-cam.com/video/t1WclT_GMvk/w-d-xo.html & th-cam.com/video/gIS1Tbv7Kvw/w-d-xo.html

Great instruction! I have a chance to buy a one owner 1998 Ram 2500 Cummins club cab long bed with 98k on it. But, all the bottom door skins and above the rear fenders need to be replaced due to rot/rust. It's a similar red to what you are painting. Just don't know if I'm getting in over my head too much!
If you're decent with tools, give it a whirl. You'll be amazed at what you can do. That sounds like a tough truck. Let me know if you have ?s along the way :)
@@LakesideAutobody Thank you, I have all the tools and feel confident about it. I just need time lol. The truck has never had a plow on it or towed anything, which is uncommon for a Ram diesel truck.
@@alittlebitofeverything5090 Sounds like a truck you can have for a long time and be proud of once you get it done. Dodge trucks are tough as nails. I've had an 87 Ramcharger 4x4 (318), 96 Chevy Silverado 4x4 (350), 94 Ford F150 (302) 77 Chevy Scottsdale (350), and a Ford Ranger (2.3l) I liked them all - they all just kept going and going and never left me stranded.
It came out looking great, Jerry. How long has that glue-on repair method been around? Does it have a good track record? Thanks for demonstrating this.👍
I guess it's been around since the 60's but every shop I ever worked at lap welded with a MIG - wasn't till the 2000s I started hearing more about it. I retired in 2016 and have asked around to see how other shops fix rust and quickly stumbled on 2 that use glue and others that still MIG
@@LakesideAutobody I had a 1970 Maverick , it got hit in the Right rear quarter panel In 1970. , and a Ford Experimental builder at the design tech center glued a 1/2 partial quarter panel on it , never had any problems with it when I sold it in the 1980s.
@@almierz4604 did my s 10 back in the late 90's rocker panels where I glued the panels to the truck they are as solid as the day I glued them way better than welding the glue has a built in rust inhibitor lol with this glue I forgot to weld
@@LakesideAutobody I am a mechanic at a truck and school bus shop and have seen that the school buses are completely glued together with that same adhesive. There are hundreds of phillips head screws that the factory installs until the adhesive cures. I have seen our body shop guys beating the crap out of these panels to get them apart, even with the screws removed and them using heat, air chisels and anything else they can think of. I would have no problem trusting that SEM adhesive, That stuff is really strong.
Awesome videos on this repair. Man that looks great! I am getting ready to attempt to do both sides of my silverado, and I hope it looks just close to your quality. I'm curious though. Can I use a 50/50 mix of alcohol and distilled water as wax/degreaser? Or do would you recommend something else? Thanks for you videos!!!
Folks will probably throw some shade at me in the comments but I've used mineral spirits and have had very good luck with it. It's also called "Paint Thinner" (not lacquer thinner) at the hardware. I'm sure the alcohol would work too. You basically want to get the surface as clean as you can - even just washing with dish soap and water. If it hasn't been waxed recently, you'll be fine :)
@@mikecochrane2074 you can purchase the rite wax and grease remover at orilleys auto parts a gallon for about 25 bucks cheapest price I’ve found locally if they don’t stock it they can get it quick . Don’t use mineral spirits and if your set on using alcohol use a 90 percent of higher however sprayway window cleaner is probably the best in that category of non traditional products to final wipe or clean before primer or paint . And for gods sakes dont use orange shop rags like the person in this video . clueless
I appreciate that Jester - tell him if he wants me to change anything or make a specific video that he wants to use in class, to comment or email me. Jerry - schoolvideolibrary at gmail dot com
If you are talking about the scratches in the metal - that's no issue for primer surfacer. You'll knock them down a bit with the DA sander when you feather edge your paint like this - th-cam.com/video/H6u13RUJKew/w-d-xo.html
10-15 minutes between color coats. I wait 1 hour before clearing because if you're spraying metallic paint you'll want to make sure the clear doesn't have an effect on the base. That's just me being safe though :)
I really like it. It sprays great, cleans in seconds, light. It does use some air though. It's the only gun I have that the compressor has to catch up. My comp is 5.4 scfm @ 90 - 6.4 scfm @ 40 so it is a bit small for body work.
No - 2 common reasons to take it down to bare metal - 1) The paint is flaking, checked, etc 2) Too many layers or too many paint jobs - like on a 57 Chevy - usually they have been painted tons of times and its goo to just strip it down.
Your right on - victory red. So far I did a fender and this quarter for this guy and used 2/3 of a quart. You're right reds are expensive - almost 5 hundred for a gallon of red + hardener. And that is middle of the road Nason brand.
@@LakesideAutobody not bad for paint used. Thanks! Back in my hey days , everyone wanted black camaros. Greatest because white n black is the cheapest paint
In part one screws were used while it was wet to pull the two pieces together nice an tight - the glue has micro balls in it to prevent you from squeezing it out fully so no worries there. After it dried I threw them in just for those who may comment on the small holes that were left from the screws. You don't really need them (your choice). It will never rust up there on the panel as it always dries out. It will only rust where salt water and debris can't drain and gathers.
You could do that. The only issue is that flange tools make like a 3/8 - 1/2 flange - plus it's impossible to flange the wheel wheel lip or opening. Let me know if you have ideas to flange the wheel well lip (the sharp bends) - I'm open to it :)
@@LakesideAutobody reason why I ask. I’m planning on doing wheel well openings on my 08 silverado. My thought was to have a large enough radius that I can flange and for the area closest to the inner wheel well I would butt weld that area
Vertical just kept it contained so you could get the grey colored. Then go conventional and blend out to the ends to taper the new color into the old - hope that makes sense - Jerry
@@LakesideAutobody I understand what you're saying , I've never had to spray a vertical pattern for a blend. Buy for the DIY viewers I see the point you're trying to get across. I bet you're liking that new gun ? I remember when they 1'st came out year's ago ' I was kinda set in my ways until I tried one. Have a good weekend.
@@keithclark486 That's actually the first time I tried the tip vertical like that. Just wanted to see if it would make any difference or make the job easier - since the gun allows for quick change like that. Good talking to you Keith - You have a good weekend too my friend :)
@@LakesideAutobody thanks, I have faded paint on the bottom red of the two tone. Do I just feather to the edge to where the two tones meet? I only want to paint the whole bottom of the truck. 88 obs!
On this gun - 3M Performance Spray Gun - 15-18 psi. I stay somewhat low as I am in a residential neighborhood plus it shows better on video - not so much fog. Spray with pressure that works best for you - don't listen to all these guys that act like it's an exact science - there's tons of variables - find what pressure works best for that day 😊
Glue was used for every part of the job. If you are talking about the inner panel - that had a flange that matched up with the patch panel. It's hard to see but it's folded inwards. If that don't help ask again :)
Screws are really the best. Use a larger hole on the outer panel. The SEM glue has micro pellets in it so you can't squeeze it all out - pretty good stuff actually :)@@michaelsarka2421
Yes - all the tools used are listed in the description. If you see any that aren't listed just ask - give me the time or point in the video and I'll check it out. Have a good week Arsalan :)
@@LakesideAutobody sure , do I trust them? Also I was hoping you'd offer me a long time viewer discount lol. Honestly I'm probably gonna end up trying to do it myself and probably just replace the hatch...but trying to put fresh metal on the windshield is daunting.
I try to have it like room temp - 70 degrees but you can get good results higher or lower - just have to adjust your spray technique and type of reducer - slow for hot days, etc.
If you mean "color" the whole bedside with the base coat, the reason you wouldn't do that is to gently blend the two colors - the old paint with the new. Then the clear gives the shine. Hope that makes sense :)
Lovely job, and all without a fancy spray booth. This is how we used to do it years ago.
I admire how the pros can make their jobs look so easy. Whether its dry-walling or auto body work I am fascinated to watch a pro work. Thanks a million for your very interesting and informative demonstration.

where do you buy the panels that you glued on and the glue ?
Raybuck or Millsupply both .com
A quick question on the patch panel install. Did you spread adhesive on the fender lip to wheel tub seam?
Yes - I should have talked about that but the video did show the glue going on the lip.
@@LakesideAutobody Hmm. Maybe you did that when I hit pause to run to the fridge (brrppp, scuse me). Thanks for the video!
@@donhammer186 You're welcome Don - have a good week my friend :)
It came out looking great, Jerry. How long has that glue-on repair method been around? Does it have a good track record? Thanks for demonstrating this.👍
I guess it's been around since the 60's but every shop I ever worked at lap welded with a MIG - wasn't till the 2000s I started hearing more about it. I retired in 2016 and have asked around to see how other shops fix rust and quickly stumbled on 2 that use glue and others that still MIG
@@LakesideAutobody
I had a 1970 Maverick , it got hit in the Right rear quarter panel In 1970. , and a Ford Experimental builder at the design tech center glued a 1/2 partial quarter panel on it , never had any problems with it when I sold it in the 1980s.
@@almierz4604 did my s 10 back in the late 90's rocker panels where I glued the panels to the truck they are as solid as the day I glued them way better than welding the glue has a built in rust inhibitor lol with this glue I forgot to weld
@@LakesideAutobody I am a mechanic at a truck and school bus shop and have seen that the school buses are completely glued together with that same adhesive. There are hundreds of phillips head screws that the factory installs until the adhesive cures. I have seen our body shop guys beating the crap out of these panels to get them apart, even with the screws removed and them using heat, air chisels and anything else they can think of. I would have no problem trusting that SEM adhesive, That stuff is really strong.
@@robbieraychannel Hey thanks Robbie - I appreciate your input. I'd hate to try to remove it for sure. Have a good week my friend :)
Awesome videos on this repair. Man that looks great! I am getting ready to attempt to do both sides of my silverado, and I hope it looks just close to your quality. I'm curious though. Can I use a 50/50 mix of alcohol and distilled water as wax/degreaser? Or do would you recommend something else? Thanks for you videos!!!
Folks will probably throw some shade at me in the comments but I've used mineral spirits and have had very good luck with it. It's also called "Paint Thinner" (not lacquer thinner) at the hardware. I'm sure the alcohol would work too. You basically want to get the surface as clean as you can - even just washing with dish soap and water. If it hasn't been waxed recently, you'll be fine :)
@@LakesideAutobody ok thanks! I will be scuffing the whole bed panel. And I don't think its been waxed in years.
@@mikecochrane2074 you can purchase the rite wax and grease remover at orilleys auto parts a gallon for about 25 bucks cheapest price I’ve found locally if they don’t stock it they can get it quick . Don’t use mineral spirits and if your set on using alcohol use a 90 percent of higher however sprayway window cleaner is probably the best in that category of non traditional products to final wipe or clean before primer or paint . And for gods sakes dont use orange shop rags like the person in this video . clueless
@@JamesBrown-cx3xf thanks for the advice
I use the real stuff I get at the paint store.@@LakesideAutobody
How have you been liking the 3m spray set up? Tried one once years ago. If I remember correctly it sprayed nice. Was really lite.
Like you said - really light and sprays nice. The best thing is that it takes seconds to clean.
Looking real good 👍
Thanks 👍
I'm going to Lincoln Tech for collision repair, and the instructor plays your videos in class. You'd make a instructor.
I appreciate that Jester - tell him if he wants me to change anything or make a specific video that he wants to use in class, to comment or email me. Jerry - schoolvideolibrary at gmail dot com
I like the Metal introductions. Nice videos. How do you fill the 36 grit swirl marks if filler is not applied over them?
If you are talking about the scratches in the metal - that's no issue for primer surfacer. You'll knock them down a bit with the DA sander when you feather edge your paint like this - th-cam.com/video/H6u13RUJKew/w-d-xo.html
How long between paint coats and then to add the clear? Looks great to me.
10-15 minutes between color coats. I wait 1 hour before clearing because if you're spraying metallic paint you'll want to make sure the clear doesn't have an effect on the base. That's just me being safe though :)
How do you like that gun by comparison to some of the others in that range of spray gun? Im lookin at maybe trying one out.
I really like it. It sprays great, cleans in seconds, light. It does use some air though. It's the only gun I have that the compressor has to catch up. My comp is 5.4 scfm @ 90 - 6.4 scfm @ 40 so it is a bit small for body work.
Looks really good. Some one told me you have to take it down to bare metal before you paint, is that true?
No - 2 common reasons to take it down to bare metal - 1) The paint is flaking, checked, etc 2) Too many layers or too many paint jobs - like on a 57 Chevy - usually they have been painted tons of times and its goo to just strip it down.
@@LakesideAutobody thank you for that.
I love this Channel. Very Nice Bro.
I appreciate the support Andy - have a good weekend :)
Top man great work 👍
Thanks Sheepman - do you shear sheep?
Thank's lot's to learn.
Excellent work as always!
I appreciate that - have a good weekend :)
Looks great ! Is that victory red ?
And how much paint did you use ?
Reds are the most expensive.
My 2007 needs work
Your right on - victory red. So far I did a fender and this quarter for this guy and used 2/3 of a quart. You're right reds are expensive - almost 5 hundred for a gallon of red + hardener. And that is middle of the road Nason brand.
@@LakesideAutobody not bad for paint used. Thanks!
Back in my hey days , everyone wanted black camaros. Greatest because white n black is the cheapest paint
@@curtismuma1931 Black and White is still king when it comes to SUVs - silver too - no colors for some reason everyone wants black, white and silver.
@@LakesideAutobody we are on the same page ! I wish your library was closer to mine! .

Where can I find glue on panels and materials? Great videos!!
All the materials and tools are listed under the description. The panels can be purchased through Millsupply or Raybucks - both online.
@@LakesideAutobody thanks for the help I appreciate it!
Excellent great job...like it never happened..👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
Great video
This guy is good me I don't like body work I'd rather replace a trans and all brakes than do body work.
Just curious, why install the rivets after the adhesive dries instead of while its wet?
In part one screws were used while it was wet to pull the two pieces together nice an tight - the glue has micro balls in it to prevent you from squeezing it out fully so no worries there. After it dried I threw them in just for those who may comment on the small holes that were left from the screws. You don't really need them (your choice). It will never rust up there on the panel as it always dries out. It will only rust where salt water and debris can't drain and gathers.
Amazing work 👏👏
Thanks a lot 😊
looks fantastic
I appreciate that Lar4305 - have a good week :)
How do you do rust protection on the inner side of the panel?
th-cam.com/video/8XaZBy7GC7A/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful 🤠👍
What about flagging the parent panel? Verses having to knock down the glue or weld joint
You could do that. The only issue is that flange tools make like a 3/8 - 1/2 flange - plus it's impossible to flange the wheel wheel lip or opening. Let me know if you have ideas to flange the wheel well lip (the sharp bends) - I'm open to it :)
@@LakesideAutobody reason why I ask. I’m planning on doing wheel well openings on my 08 silverado. My thought was to have a large enough radius that I can flange and for the area closest to the inner wheel well I would butt weld that area
@@dennismindock6276 Sounds like it will work well. Let me know how it goes or if you have any other thoughts or questions my friend :)
@@LakesideAutobody thankyou
Where you located? Nice job
Michigan :)
You said you were spraying it in vertical pattern because of the blend ,Then you switched to horizontal and sprayed out to the end of the panel ?
Vertical just kept it contained so you could get the grey colored. Then go conventional and blend out to the ends to taper the new color into the old - hope that makes sense - Jerry
@@LakesideAutobody I understand what you're saying , I've never had to spray a vertical pattern for a blend.
Buy for the DIY viewers I see the point you're trying to get across.
I bet you're liking that new gun ? I remember when they 1'st came out year's ago ' I was kinda set in my ways until I tried one.
Have a good weekend.
@@keithclark486 That's actually the first time I tried the tip vertical like that. Just wanted to see if it would make any difference or make the job easier - since the gun allows for quick change like that. Good talking to you Keith - You have a good weekend too my friend :)
Excellent Job love it
Thank you very much :)
NICE job jerry
nice work help ///// i can find that a paint code do yea have one my truck is just like it some tuck the code out
9260 - Victory Red
what does something like this cost?
Prices for a repair like this vary greatly. A fair price would be right around $500-$1000.
👍👍
Was it me or was the new paint more of an burnt orange and not red like the original? Was that intentional or did it get better after it was dry?
It's the camera - it's set on "auto" so the color can be off at times :)
What is the brand of adhesive you used for the body panel?
SEM Impact Resistant Panel Adhesive
@@LakesideAutobody Thanks you...
I’m trying to do this repair but I have a two tone red and silver
👍 So you have to spray one color - let it dry for a day or two - then mask and spray the next :)
@@LakesideAutobody thanks, I have faded paint on the bottom red of the two tone. Do I just feather to the edge to where the two tones meet? I only want to paint the whole bottom of the truck. 88 obs!
Where do you get patch panels?
Millsupply.com or Raybuck.com
Can you flange the edges and glues the panels?
Yes - you can do that if it's possible around the whole patch :)
What was your air pressure set at
On this gun - 3M Performance Spray Gun - 15-18 psi. I stay somewhat low as I am in a residential neighborhood plus it shows better on video - not so much fog. Spray with pressure that works best for you - don't listen to all these guys that act like it's an exact science - there's tons of variables - find what pressure works best for that day 😊
Good jod looks good I can get rid of my welders lol
What respirator are you wearing in this video?
3M 5201 Half Facepiece Organic Vapor Respirator
How did you bond the wheel flange to the edge of the panel?
Glue was used for every part of the job. If you are talking about the inner panel - that had a flange that matched up with the patch panel. It's hard to see but it's folded inwards. If that don't help ask again :)
Yah I am trying the magnet thing I saw in another video but that's not working so hot. I will have to use rivets or screws to hold panel in place.
I also using Sika Flex 252 to bond panel to truck.
👍🛠😊@@michaelsarka2421
Screws are really the best. Use a larger hole on the outer panel. The SEM glue has micro pellets in it so you can't squeeze it all out - pretty good stuff actually :)@@michaelsarka2421
hi sir pleas can you send tools you useds cut sheet of metal pleas need it am in lincoln teach aoto collision tx thanks
Yes - all the tools used are listed in the description. If you see any that aren't listed just ask - give me the time or point in the video and I'll check it out. Have a good week Arsalan :)

hey you wanna do some rust repair on my wife's lx470? windshield area and rear hatch?
For some reason I'm booked up till spring with various jobs. Do you live in Michigan?
@@LakesideAutobody no sir, Minnesota.
@@mikehannigan848 There has to be some reasonable body shops around you right?
@@LakesideAutobody sure , do I trust them? Also I was hoping you'd offer me a long time viewer discount lol. Honestly I'm probably gonna end up trying to do it myself and probably just replace the hatch...but trying to put fresh metal on the windshield is daunting.
@@mikehannigan848 Are going to take the windshield out or is the rust just right on the edge?
What shop temperature do you recommend when painting? Min & max? Thanks for another great video👍
Beer 32 shop 70🤘
I try to have it like room temp - 70 degrees but you can get good results higher or lower - just have to adjust your spray technique and type of reducer - slow for hot days, etc.
why not paint entire bed side.
If you mean "color" the whole bedside with the base coat, the reason you wouldn't do that is to gently blend the two colors - the old paint with the new. Then the clear gives the shine. Hope that makes sense :)
