This paintjob is coming in at $13K, and most picky people would be perfectly satisfied. But for those who insist on flawlessness; $20K will make your day😉😉
Well Billy u been at this for 45 plus yrs . Ud better be top notch be able to feel with ur hands. .. no doubt in my mind ur a top dawg in that trade just listen to you and hpw u do vs how most ppl who arent you do. Yep im positive you know ur shizzle brother Billy keep rockin it ..
You are the man without a doubt! If they think 10k or 20k is too much for a man with your expertise then send them to Macco for one of them $1000 special’s and see the results and longevity of that paint job! Can’t wait to see the final product!

Cheap, fast or good, pick 2...... Your sense of humor gets me, your work quality and ethics impress me in a huge way. Wish I was closer I could learn so much from you. Im having some sanding blocks made up. You helped me with that, thank you Sir
Nothing better than a good white paint job on a classic car. Everybody wants black. Black hides the lines. You paint an ugly car black to hide the ugly. You paint a beautiful car white to show every beautiful line
No all the guys in high-end paint shops Billy when are you going to put that car on a rotisserie do you do all your bodywork and paint work on the floor but as always, great job narrating you could probably get a job with the history channel
If I were rotisserizing a car, it would be a $50K retainer. I’ve been doing this long enough to call the plays for what it pays. A LOT of high end shops have made an art out of suckering rich guys with stuff like EEEpoxy primer and three foot long blocks🤣🤣
Takes 20K to get the outside and jams to be ready to paint , 10K more , it’s coated in Kandy paint , if you get a fabulous deal , from a personal friend
Its alarming how much paint costs these days. My old school restorer buddy is doing a 67 Chevelle. 1.5 gal . of three stage custom paint was almost 6k alone. All 3M supplies are to the moon.

Hey Okey Bondo Billy! I had done any painting in many years, back when 2 stage paint first come out,mostly just enamel and lacquer! Do you use a water based paint ? I don't know to much about this product, but I been thinking about restore an old 68 shortbed ford F-100 ,could use all of the advice I can get being old school!
@OldBondoBilly so you think stick with 2 stage paint would be best? I see you just run a few coats of clear,I use to use multiple light coats when I was learning to use 2 stage. It's been 35 plus years since I painted!
@OldBondoBilly why is it a mistake to shoot light to medium coats with clear ? For me, it was the best way to ensure I didn't end up with runs,although it took me hours to get an end result ! I was accustomed to using lacquer and enamel, self-taught without an instructor ! I appreciate the advice! Can you give me some advice on a brand of paint as well,back in the day I was using mainly PPG
No such thing as a 20,000 dollar paint job. The 20 grand is spent paying some idiot to stand there for a month with a buffer in his hand covered up in rubbing compound to where his bed at home smells like 3M "Microfinishing" and "Finesses It"...

Is there a way to practice that straightness check by hand? Other than doing painting and body work for years. I have painted a few dozen cars as a hobby. And I've noticed that I'm not very good at feeling imperfections with my hand.
It’s irrelevant in this case as everything is back taped. But in a case where the clear might be bridged over the tape, I would pull it as soon as the clear was tack-free.
do this on light silver metallic and it will be like tiger .That was 70'tech.He live in past,so sad.20k my ass,in my country they wouldn't give him 2 k for that work.

I gave the bondo weeks to shrink before I primed it, and every time I sprayed primer on this car, I gave it weeks to cure

I don't know to much about this product, but I been thinking about restore an old 68 shortbed ford F-100 ,could use all of the advice I can get being old school!
You really need a specialized airflow to use waterborne paint
@OldBondoBilly so you think stick with 2 stage paint would be best? I see you just run a few coats of clear,I use to use multiple light coats when I was learning to use 2 stage. It's been 35 plus years since I painted!
For clear I put on a super light tack coat, then 2 or 3 full coats. More than three coats of contemporary clear is a mistake.

It need to be sanded with a fine grit and rub your hand lengthwise across the panel, back and forth, fast
@@OldBondoBilly I pretty much do that, but I move my hand quite slowly. Maybe that's my problem.
@uniflo2609 that is exclusively your problem. Even with decades of feeling bodywork, I could not have felt a thing if I were moving my hand slowly
@@OldBondoBilly Thanks a lot👍
@@uniflo2609 the speed will make a difference as you need to skim the surface in order to read it- otherwise you will follow the subtle contours.🤙
Sweet. What more could guy say.

Yes indeed….paint boot brother Billy🤌🏿
Orange peel billy at it again!! Keep it going boss!!!
The Camaro got some grapefruit peel🤣🤣
BB, how long or how soon do you pull the tape and paper ?
It’s irrelevant in this case as everything is back taped. But in a case where the clear might be bridged over the tape, I would pull it as soon as the clear was tack-free.
@@OldBondoBilly makes sense. Thanks
no offense, Im watching, your fingers are straight in line with the direction you are sanding.
No, even 5° is enough to prevent finger ruts😉😉
Uuurk the hardest to repair - reverse sweep.
Because who wants a 69 camaro that looks like it's been painted with a roller. That car is worth every penny. Can't wait to see the finished product.
