Hey mick thank you mate I try to be as honest as possible so you guys at home can see what you up against if you try doing bits at home. Appreciate the comment 👍
Hey simon thank you mate 👍 you wouldn’t believe how many different colours went into making this white then when all mixed together it was white 😂. I guess that’s why it’s called candy white.
New sub here! You did a great job, attention to detail and prep the proper way is on point! So many poor paint jobs I’ve seen where they cut corners on the prep, u even re applying the tape after sanding the mouldings show your experience and attention to detail which is what as customer we should get!
Hey bud thank you really appreciate that, I obviously cut corners when learning thinking that will do and of course it’s not, I spend as much time on a customers vehicle as I would my own. They trusted me to work on it I do my absolute best. Thank you 👍
Once again Nathan a touch of DTE magic, a quick and simple job that totally changes the look of the caddy, really looking forward to the up and coming projects.
Thank you for the video Nathan. Top job mate you did there mate👌. Really liked the contrast on the front bumper and mirrors. The sliding door rail cover too makes such a difference. Can't understand why VW didn't fit them as standard
Hey Karl thank you mate always appreciated 👍 I asked the customer what he wanted painting and what bits to leave and I was happy with what he chose. I think it’s just cost cutting from Vw why they leave some bits unpainted.
It’s amazing what transformation it makes just colour coding, the bumpers and the mirrors I haven’t forgotten I still need to get down and see you at some point
Nathan you are one multi skilled fella I absolutely love your videos Especially the caddy stuff as I have one Your skills in all areas are super impressive Keep it up I wish you were round the corner from me Top man Keep the videos coming 😊
Hey mate thank you 👍 really appreciate that. I enjoy working on the caddy’s to. It’s all I’ve ever done since leaving school and I do my best. Glad you enjoy the videos.
Mint job mate. Perfection through and through. Do you get customers wanting ALL the plastics for the mirrors (i.e. the mirror edging trim and the stantion cover plate and mirror arm ... you know what I mean... I hope 😅) and what do you reckon on the look compared to the two-tone? Great channel, by the way, just recently found you - you explain things as they should - no pointless BS 👍. Ain't got a Caddy atm but will, hopefully, soon be in the market. Thanks, mate. I appreciate the time and effort takes to make these vids.
Wowwww great job matey like your videos your doing some awesome work and I want to get some advice can I fit 2009 Audi A3 8p shocks and spring on my touran thnx
Hey bud this was was a good transformation, massive improvement. The customer came back just yesterday asking about having the rear bumper done to, thank you for the comment appreciate that 👍
It does like good in the white. Takes more regular washing to keep it looking clean though. The mouldings are very time consuming for their size aren’t they. They dont pop off easily to paint off the van then?
Hey B-RY that’s a good point about removing them I was Ment to mention that in the end of the video. They are stuck on all the way and when I done my caddy I removed them and it took me hours to remove the old sticky then a good while to put fresh double tape on.
Great video, like your attention to detail. I am guessing spraying body work is your full time job then? Where are you based? I have a similar project so looking for top man to sort out is that something you would be interested in? Regards mark
Hi mark thank you appreciate that 👍 I’m actually a mechanic as my first trade and I do abit of paintwork for fun on the side. I’m in deal in Kent, appreciate the comment 👍
Hi bud I am only have 2 kids so they sit in the outside seats and havnt fitted a belt in the middle one I just remove the seat for mot, I have seen people just fitting lap belts and they are very basic so just type “van lap belt” on eBay and they should come up 👍
Another great video man! If anyone can help me out with a suggestion on where I can find some rail covers that would be amazing. I have a MK 4 2017 long wheel base (maxi)caddy with left and right hand sliding doors. Don’t know if anyone makes covers for these. Cheers. 👍
Hey just doing touran electric window conversion on caddy. I want to do the morris but thinking would you be able to make me some touran mirrors. I can get the touran mirrors no probs
@@vw_beetle_dave hey bud so the Touran mirrors are an in depth job and really time consuming. By the time I’ve spent time on them the painted and posted both ways it might cost abit, probably more cost effective to get the caddy life mirrors.
how much would you charge to do this on a maxi? would want front and rear bumper color coding and mirrors doing black? and a few chips touching up Cheers
Hey Hayden thank you mate appreciate that 👍 full repaint same colour is around £1500 - £2k depending on bodywork condition. Colour change is another grand on top is double the effort to do all the shuts.
Hey bud thank you always appreciate your comments, your right it makes a big difference and soon as he see the van he said he wants the rear bumper done on the next work I do. 👍
I just fitted LED headlight bulbs and was out testing them, makes a big difference on country back roads, I can see now and make a difference after my remap Bhp 193 with 4 bhp lost on rolling road with slippage as wet and damp out .. Keep the videos coming love them 👍
Looks pukka Nathan, was it hard to find the same candy white, mine is paint code LB9A but there lots of different shades of LB9A just to be awkward, Also did u get to see the door step trims for the rear seats ?
Hey bud thank you appreciate that 👍, my friend in the big workshop just down from mine made the paint and he said what shade do you want I said number 1 and that was it straight out the gun. Yep same paint code. Yes I saw the doorstep panel and it needs a little bit of fettling but it looked good.
@@YTDTETV fair play he got the colour spot on, is the door step in your next video if so I watch out for it, lovin your videos keep doing what u r doing

Does the the candy white still require gloss spray afterwards ? Sorry never sprayed before just curious. Great channel mate

love it how much should i be paying to have my front and rear bumper and trim and mirrors. ive fitted a touran front bumper
Hi Dave thank you 👍 so is your touran bumper a coloured bumper and not textured. Maybe around £600 for the lot.
@@YTDTETV its blue in colour so far had i think round £300 just for the bumpers
