I agree 100% . I think a lot of people use stencils , I’ve never really worried about them and just follow the body 👌. Turns out I’ll be bare metalling both the quarters and redoing them which I’ll cover in the next vid . Issue is I can’t really make them sharper than what’s already on the body as it will look different and not flow . Bit of a shame but it is what it is
@@BogDustForBreakfast yeah I've seen those stencils ... they make the job look harder than it needs to be 😅 . That car looks pretty good except for the scallop missing from the back guards 👍 , i had a knack where I'd stand at the axle about half an arms length away (hards to explain , I think facing the back of the car at the rear , it's been a while 😳 ) and sort of sweep the line in with a modified speed file while standing in the same spot 👍👍
Great information mate, I have learnt a lot from you and have managed to avoid a lot of the issues you mentioned. Thanks for your help.Also can you please touch on solvent pop and filler pin holes and correction methods or how to avoid them to start with? I did just use the dolphin glaze for pin holes, it appears to have worked good. Cheers mate.
Thanks mate, will touch base on these topics for you. turns out ill be doing a heap of filler work on this car now after finding things wrong with it . so worth speaking about pin holes and how to avoid it . thanks for continuing to watch my videos mate
Hi mate, you mentioned at the end of this one to shout out if there was anything we would like you to show. I am at pretty much the same stage with my HJ, and as you know the sedans love to rust out around the rear wheel arches and dog legs. Whats the best way to fill and sand this area as there are lots of curves and bends in both direction so you cant really use a block? Also getting those nice sharp wheel arch edges? Thanks mate I hope that makes sense..
I’ll be doing filler repairs on the dog legs in up coming videos so stay tuned! I love to use tubular dura blocks for those tight curved areas works a treat
Blocking primer . No . If doing repairs yes . Also if the cars having more money thrown at it then yes I do everything to perfect the shape . This one was meant to be just a sand and paint
The idea is to prevent shrinkage on a car . Primers will always shrink to some extent during the curing process . What I showed in this video was just plain laziness by the panel beater who repaired it .
@@chrisoo8998 depends on if it’s baked . What speed of hardeners used etc there’s a few variables which speed up and slow down the curing process . I’ve primed repairs, baked the primer sanded and painted it all in the same day heaps of times and never had an issue .
Haha cheers! The name comes from mid Covid being locked up at home with only our projects to work on . Getting up at 6am to sand filler 👌 welcome to the channel
Practical teaching, great finer points and hands on✌
Good ol' debeer! .
The bodylines and scallop through the tops of he guards are easy to get wrong and can make or break a paint job 👍👍

That's the same state my HQ has been in for 5 years... I'm still waiting to build a new garage at my new place.
space has been an issue for me for the past couple years. i feel your pain! hopefully you get it finished soon mate
I'm sure you'll do this Prem justice.
Oh have I got a few surprises coming up in the next video . Will be fun for sure!

Cheers mate for the quick reply! Look forward to watching. @@BogDustForBreakfast
Do you put the door, boot rubber seals on before blocking?
Blocking primer . No . If doing repairs yes . Also if the cars having more money thrown at it then yes I do everything to perfect the shape . This one was meant to be just a sand and paint
How long does shrink back take to stop to start blocking primer
The idea is to prevent shrinkage on a car . Primers will always shrink to some extent during the curing process . What I showed in this video was just plain laziness by the panel beater who repaired it .
But to answer your question. The best time to block the primer is after it’s cured .
@@BogDustForBreakfast some people say 2 days some say 1 week what do think
