Keep doing your thing brother. It's so awesome to see your dad working with you. You are a great example of a good family man, I'm so proud of you and really appreciate your videos 👍🏻.
Ran my shop for over twenty five years you never let anything leave unless it is perfect no matter what if you can't do it send them down the road never put your name on something that is not perfect win or loose
I have to admit that I’m not really like that. I’ll do whatever the customer wants no matter if it’s right or wrong. I’ve been that way for along time and do things other shops won’t like this job.
Cool 😎 ! I feel your pain , I’m tired already and I’m just relaxing watching your video drinking my Venom Strawberry Apple energy drink 😅. Can’t wait to see the finished product.
The unfortunate thing for you is that what when that car leaves your shop. Even though you did more than paid for . When that owner is driving that car and people see flaws they will ask who painted this ?? The owner will say your business but not fill them in on the true story !! Your between a rock and hard place !! A tough call on jobs like that. !! Glad it's you and not me !!
Yes 100% and that’s why most won’t do them. However I explain to people all the time that I don’t care about my reputation or what locals think. Doing salvage allows me to not care if any customers ever show up bc I’m always putting together my own cars to sale. (Hope that makes sense). Hard to explain in short form through text. So anyways I’ll take jobs that can make me look bad that others won’t do bc of this. It drives Randy crazy how I am 😂 but all my friends know I really don’t care about my reputation and I’ll do whatever level the customer wants.
Painted many cars and don't do sealer anymore, only problems l ever had was because of sealer, like 2k primer it shrinks too much to go right from sealer too paint
@@ThePaintPaperHustle You are checking behind yourself. You, want to see what's happening. I understand, you can't warranty it down the road. Price point and previous work won't allow it. But, you're trying to make sure it's good, when it leaves your shop.🙂
I’ll have to measure it. A crew cab long bed dually bumpers touch the front and doors of booth where you can’t walk around it. The f450 in there had maybe 8” between the door and bumper
@@ThePaintPaperHustle Ah, ok. Yeah, I was thinking of doing a 16x24 or 18x24. I have a customer 73 Donk that's going to need painted, so will need some room.
@@funfun8095his booth looks like one made by standard tools which is 14w x 9h x 26l. Like he said bigger is better and don't forget plenty of lighting and good airflow.
Nice work but end of the day I learn like my grandfather used to say if the man pay you $1,000 Other pay your million dollars you treat everybody the same way regardless but the customer don't have the budget but the end of the day you took the job so people need to stop complaining is rough out here but why don't you take that job it's your name so there's no sense complaining you still want to do good work
Exactly. I’ll take jobs other shops won’t. I never worry or care about what someone has to say about my work which when you do cheaper work for someone then others will always blame you as to why it’s a lower quality job. People with small budgets deserve to have shinny cars the same as others. It just won’t be same quality which is ok.
This is why you strip the old paint. Customers don’t want to pay for it until you’re in the middle of painting and this happens. I’ve got a 48 Anglia that is actually gonna cost the customer more money because he was trying to be cheap. Last time I’ll paint over old paint jobs. Not worth it.
I’ll paint over them anytime after I explain to the customer the risk. I’ll send it right out the door with known Issues and let the customer know every single one of them. Money is money to me and I don’t work for free so as long as I’m getting paid I’ll do any quality level. I’d honestly rather do these than full strip jobs
My shop policy on these old cars is either strip to bare metal or replace with new parts! These band-aid jobs always fail and it's not worth the headache to deal with the complaining customer when it does.
@@ThePaintPaperHustle your customer doesn't care. He is just pocketing the money he got from his customer and then finding a cheap shop to do the work so he can profit more.
Considering the customer is doing it for someone else, I can understand why they don't want to, pay, the big bucks. They're such an awesome looking car, they have the best lines. Very sleek. Thank you.
Great common sense advise for us, DIYers. Thanks Boss
Thanks buddy

We run sealer 95% of the time bc it’s so cheap compared to the actual paint and allows us to get full coverage saving on actual paint
I think, the customer is lucky he took it to you. A lot of shops, will send out and say, you got what you paid for. As if, they were maaco.
I mean I do give them what they paid for and nothing more. I budgeted myself wiggle room for some issues.

Yea i actually don’t warranty any of my work
What size is that booth? Looks like a longer booth, would help.
I'm about to build one and have been trying to figure a size.

Go as big as you possibly can trust me!
@@ThePaintPaperHustle That's what I'm thinking.

Man that cars turning into a nightmare
To be honest I expected some issues going into this one.

That's true people do need to have shiny vehicles just like everyone else respect

Thankfully the customer knew up front the risk taken of saving money and painting over the old stuff
I normally turn away all jobs that the customer wants to strip to metal. I don’t like them labor intensive jobs. So far I’ve never had to do one.
@@ThePaintPaperHustle your customer doesn't care. He is just pocketing the money he got from his customer and then finding a cheap shop to do the work so he can profit more.
If you need bulldog to get your paint to stick to primer you have a much bigger problem
Then I have huge problems! lol thanks for watching buddy.
1968 looks way better 🇺🇲my dad had a 1968 camero convertable back in 1975 northen calif
Awesome!
What a mess you got yourself into😢
lol just part of the work

The customer is middle manning it for an older lady who has had the car since she was in high school
