You know this time around I didnt get as frustrated or burnt out doing body work. It seems to of went much quicker so maybe I don’t dislike it as much now.
i used to drink can soda while doing bodywork in garage, but twice I felt something tingling in my mouth and spit out a yellow jacket bee so now I only drink bottle soda and put the cap on in between sips. Really appreciate your videos.
I like polyester because it doesn’t shrink like urethane or other primers. It does require more effort to sand but not enough to make it difficult or not worth the effort to prevent sand marks showing up six months later i
I never u derstood why the paint on my 68 had sanding scratches in it. I couldn’t imagine the body shop painting over them, but your theory on them coming back is a very solid possibility! Or the body shop that did it really sucked! Lol
I sand marks pop back up like 4 months later and drove me nuts so I go probably to the extreme to prevent it. One of the unfortunate side effects of self taught. Many things by trial and error
It would be interesting to know if that primer could be thinned out to go on a little smoother. Linear block looks like a nice product. Looking really good.
Great video I love it I know how much work needs to be dedicated so you can have at the end an excellent painted car and you are right I love to wet sand the car as my final sanding sorry buddy but I just love the H2O
What temp reducer did you use relative to the ambient temperature? Also distance from gun to surface and pressure will effect atomization that causes primer orange peel. Take a local automotive painter with a good reputation out for coffee or lunch and pick his brain. Beats the heck out of trial and error. Looking forward to seeing the finished job.👍
Where did you get that really long sanding board? Curious, I have them black sanding blocks but never saw that blue block that you are using. Thanks for sharing video.
The TDS recommends a sealer coat and even if it didn’t I probably would anyway especially if it’s a restoration project. Now a daily driver I would skip that step.
Maybe i missed it but why dont you wet sand that primer? I did and found that it definitely kept the dust down and out of my lungs and helped the sand paper last longer.
Wet sanding definitely reduces dust and is a good pro. Other than that I like dry sanding, it’s easier to clean up, the wet sanding slurry collects in areas hard to clean out. Plus I just don’t like introducing water to the body panels in fear of rust issues. I go out of my way to keep things sealed with epoxy but you burn thru sometimes. Trying to avoid the reason the car needs restored. The sand paper life seems about the same for me wet or dry sanding. Like i said in the video pros and cons for both use whatever way you prefer
Jon, do you ever or would you recommend using 2k aerosol primer, for spot priming bare metal? Glad to see your liking the linear block, I better get one.
I haven’t used any to form an opinion. If it’s a small spot like penny size I might test it. I don’t think I would do any spots larger than that. Now if it was my Daily driver I might
Actually the little one was from packing of something I bought. It’s a little softer than durablock. Wish I could remember where it came from. I use the heck out of it.
This car is the second round of high build and blocking. Normally I do two coats of highbuild then sand. Unfortunately I ran out before second coat then it took several weeks to get more so I had to sand the surface. Basically this was bit of a mess. Normally finish body work then 2-3 coats of high build sand the you might still need to apply more high build primer to get it ready for final paint.
Now am excited to see the paint go down on the Bird!
You and me both !
Soooo much sanding! Keep up the good work! It’s going to look amazing when done!
It’s a to sand an entire car so happy this one is done
👍👍 I am watching 2 different video's at the same time 😂 I think I have an addiction 😂😂😂
Sounds perfectly normal to me
@@VinylVillageGarage 👍👍🤣🤣
Thanks for doing these body work videos. I'm sure they are not your favorite, but it sure helps out us beginners.

great block sanding video Jon. Love the outtro pics.
Thanks. I thought the pictures at the end was a nice touch.

Have been very fortunate and never experienced that yet. Not to say I don’t think about it every time I take a drink.
Great vlog John!! Keep up the good work sir!!👍🏽
Thank you! Will do!
Always wanted to try that polyester primer, I got it but just haven't tried it yet. Thanks for sharing your video.

Really nice work and theory! Having just been where you are now, I understand the trade offs in getting a 'straight curved panel'. THX!
lol. Yup straight curves who would have thunk.
Thanks for the tips... looking forward to seeing the paint content...thanks ....🔧🔧👍
Me too and seeing the car all shinny again 😎
Very helpful
Glad you think so!
Can't wait to see some paint put on these 2.
Me too. My high school car has been 20 years in the remaking
We appreciate your efforts to teach. Thank you.
Anytime, wish I had TH-cam 20 years ago
i used the same stuff on my 69 camaro and reduced it by 10% and did not have any issues. has been 5 years. Go for it.
Nice! Did you use acetone?
@@VinylVillageGarage regular reducer
I'm glad you are liking the linear block! You can put sandpaper on the curved side to sand the body line.
Very good point. I will say I was able to level things off much quicker with the linear block
@@VinylVillageGarageis it difficult to work with at all ?
@@jamessharp9790 it took me a little time to learn how to get it to work well. Definitely a little different than my durablock.

Thanks almost easy to see some shinny paint on the car
It would be interesting to know if that primer could be thinned out to go on a little smoother. Linear block looks like a nice product. Looking really good.
I agree if it was on the TDS it could be reduced like mast paint I think it would help immensely
i think they make smaller versions of that flexible sanding block. i've seen others use them. might wanna look into that!
You are right They make several different sizes bigger and smaller. This one was a demo and plan to buy more of a variety
Great video I love it I know how much work needs to be dedicated so you can have at the end an excellent painted car and you are right I love to wet sand the car as my final sanding sorry buddy but I just love the H2O
I know you do it’s cool, you get it water its cool 🤣

Sharing the knowledge is definitely the best training for sure
Where did you get that really long sanding board? Curious, I have them black sanding blocks but never saw that blue block that you are using. Thanks for sharing video.
Linear block is the brand I ordered it online. It was a little spendy like over $100 I am happy with it and feel it was worth every dollar.
How does this 4 to 1 compare to slick sand for build?
Can’t say, haven’t tried the slick sand yet. It comes highly recommended so might be good stuff.
Newbie here, I just bought this product and going to paint it soon. Is it possible to paint the base coat over this primer?
The TDS recommends a sealer coat and even if it didn’t I probably would anyway especially if it’s a restoration project. Now a daily driver I would skip that step.
Maybe i missed it but why dont you wet sand that primer? I did and found that it definitely kept the dust down and out of my lungs and helped the sand paper last longer.

Jon, is the smallest block a durablock also?
Actually the little one was from packing of something I bought. It’s a little softer than durablock. Wish I could remember where it came from. I use the heck out of it.
@@VinylVillageGarageThank you!
Hi Jon! Do you only do one coat of the high build? Or would you do a rough 320 block and spray a second coat for more primer thickness?
This car is the second round of high build and blocking. Normally I do two coats of highbuild then sand. Unfortunately I ran out before second coat then it took several weeks to get more so I had to sand the surface. Basically this was bit of a mess. Normally finish body work then 2-3 coats of high build sand the you might still need to apply more high build primer to get it ready for final paint.
Do u got paint can shaker? Was wondering if buying one worth the cost
I don’t yet, definitely wish I had one it takes so long to stir up paint that has been sitting amazing how
Much it separates over
Time
💪😎
Thanks!
John, what size Linear block are you using there? Car looking great!
This is the 24” and I love it.
@@VinylVillageGarage I thought that's what it was. I just ordered one. I'm in that stage on my GTO right now.
By the way use a backing pad on the da
👍
Polyester should start with 180 then use the guide coat 220 next then got again with guide coat then go to finsh with 600 with orbital da
Cool. Thanks
