Now all you need is a old factory building with massive square footage to call the idiot factory.... multi level race track thru the building with auto paintball guns and boobie traps n stuff ... and a gap jump 4 stories tall from building to building... drift course ect ... I believe in you brother
At least your consistent with the runs, lol. Honestly, I never thought the bug would look that good after watching months of bodywork! It looks great, keep up the good work.
This remind's me of when I & my Brother Had a shop. We had this school teacher that wanted his bug fixed up. But we did it on the cheap for him. There was a lot of custom work but our client loved it. We actually pie cut or slit the back fenders to widen them. To make it look like a classic ford in the rear end. We painted it in Rose Blood high metallic flake. He was so happy with our workmanship he went out and bought a brand new crate engine. I lost everything because of a dirty cop !!!
It's always the trash cans fault when you don't make the trash shots, good on you for showing the can who the boss is. Nice job "finger bangin" the panels, Awesome vid. Thank you.
Brooooooo!! It is so sick! This has been a labor of love for some time and seeing where it started when we met to where it is now is unreal. Definitely need a start to finish video once you have it running again.
Nice, Very nice!!!! and the increase in knowledge of car building is set in your mind forever. After this projects most people wouldn't attempt seem very plausible now. Congrats Preston for a job well done.
REALLY CATCHING UP WITH A FEW OF THE LAST VIDEOS I'VE MISS FEELS REALLY GOOD WATCHING A FEW VIDEOS AT A TIME I REALLY DIGG THAT PAINT JOB THE DETAILS AND ESPECIALLY THOSE WATER DROP DRIPS AND SPREAD IT GIVES IT SOME REAL ATTITUDE KEEP IT UP PRESTON ✌🏼OUT
Honestly I think that looks so badass with just the front clip on and not the rest of the body paint that roll cage like that and leave the front clip on with the hood... Perfection.. Progress Preston you're getting better everyday from hydro dipping to painting now you definitely got skills kid
I'm 46 yr painter and body man , those are some of the nicest I've ever seen, start out with some 360 on a block and work your way up , they'll buff out.
The line you painted in just below the windows running from front to back with the 5 hash marks looks amazing! WOW! That is really cool! I am really inspired to get out into the garage!
That is a really wonderful looking paint job you did there bud. Well done. And congrats on getting some good views!! We all are just excited to see this thing finished and ripping
Seeing you with the fly in the paint reminds me of a friend who has a body shop he was putting a clear coat on and had a big blue bottle land as he was painting so he just pushed it flat and painted over it and after the paint dried it looked deliberate so he moped and polished the car and as far as I know that fly has been entombed in that roof ever since
Bro it's fricken epic!! Lost it & spat my beer out @06:05 ha ha! You did a fantastic job man & it was fun to see the progress on Patreon. Wish I could see it in person, cheers from Down Under!
I say leave the imperfections for later without a time crunch. You don’t want to rush because your stressed. Make sure you get a good inventory for your trailer and truck. That is what I would focus on.
The paint scheme is awesome and it will only get better with the full assembly. Have a cold one, you deserve a break but not for too long, wet sanding to be done. :) Take care Preston.
Looks sick. Its different, and different is cool in my book. It's like a 'reversed patina' look. No biggie wetsanding and doing a little buffing. Its pretty much mandatory in any paint job that looks decent. Not like you had a downdraft booth so getting some contaminants on the paint is to be expected. Love the color choice too. You should 'shadowline' those chrome window trims with some satin black. Us BMW guys do it all the time and it really cleans up and modernizes the look. Nice work bruh!
I’m up in Washington building a Subaru powered Baja bug, your channel is giving me inspiration haha, this bug looks so sick, and this paint job is absolutely amazing, keep it up
It's turning out great. The paint looks so much better than I thought it would. Awesome job. Passing this around. Hopefully we can up the subscriber base.
Looks good!! I would have went up and followed the body lines to mock weathering from wind and rain . You just went with your flow which always works best.
Try putting window screen material on the intake side of your box fans. The suction will draw weak fliers like mosquitoes and mayflies into the screen and hold them until the fan is turned off. Just don't turn the fans off until the clear flashes, lol
Looks freaking awesome. The Patina effect looks pretty natural. This car has come a long way from having an Integra front end welded into it haha. Also i ordered a shirt and will sub on patreon next month. Things are a little tight now that I can't work, but I want to help. I survived something that would have killed most people and I come to realize our purpose in this life is to help others. The world has too much selfishness. Great work and I love the build!
Despite the clear coat issues. I love the way this turned out. And, the those clear coat problems can either be solved.... or, named. Although, I'd prefer to see how it is when cleaned up.
Purchase a couple of bug zappers that are bright and eye catching for the left and right side of the outside facing garage door area entrance. If you can't hang them 4 those pesky bugs put them on a tall stand. Should be out of the way enough of spray or dust from sanding. Should help minimize those pesky lil nippers. I've done this living in Wisconsin next to a lake and has helped loads... 😉 Been working on my 04' Passat 5-speed 1.8 Turbo with the Four Motion. I call it, "The Granny Sleeper." 😁
On Runs, Tip I got From my Dad Wet a Cloth with thinners and I mean wet wet Dipping And Whip the Side Really Fast and Bye bye Runs. do this while Paint or Clear is still wet.
the runs have a lot to do with your painting technique. you have to keep the direction your spraying uniform at all times when you change directions and then move to a new spot spray in another direction by the time you get back to that first area the edges have started to dry so if therssses a dry spot it will cause a run.
Not going to lie-that looks way more cool than the rat rod I was suggesting a few weeks ago. Way to stick to your guns Preston. Looking forward to seeing it on the track!
later on, you could dimple die the holes in the hood and engine cover. It would give it a little more finished look. But it has turned out really sweet looking so far.

Fantastic results. The effect is very cool, but the side stripes with the diagonal lines bring it to another level

I have watched literally every single video on this build, even the cage at olympus, and i gotta say you nailed it dude. That thing looks so badass
Love it and am glad I could help.
when this car is done, I expect a "what did this build cost" video. (LOL)

So wicked! Love how it's turned out!!!
So happy to see this project coming to completion. It's gonna be so sick to see you ripping it!
It's the coolest paint job I seen in a long time, keep on do what you do.
The bug looks bad ASS!!
Great job, you should be proud how all that hard work is finally coming together! Congrats bro, keep it up..
It's always the trash cans fault when you don't make the trash shots, good on you for showing the can who the boss is. Nice job "finger bangin" the panels, Awesome vid. Thank you.
Looking good. All the hard work coming together. Be proud my guy. The idiots are coming thru.👍💪💪
That came out really well 👌

I've been so ready for this. Still torn on my thoughts on the front end. I like it. It's definitely different. Keep shining Preston!
Great job on the paint….really turning out well! 😎

Fantastic and amazing results. She definitely looks good.
Hi 👋 P. Great results. 👍 you take a different course than I would, and come out with a wonderful surprise every time. You're one creative dude!
Thanks man, I appreciate that
The dark paint helps with hiding the extra girth. You know what they say, black is slimming. Congrats mate looks the goods
So much work but it's looking so cool, good job Preston.
Seeing Mena's huge grin and a good old garbage pail beat down are always a treat👍
Excellent work so glad to see this thing coming together it has come such a far way I have been watching from the start!!!!!!!
Looks great , just a side note from my days of painting in my driveway , citronella candles near your doors . Obviously blow them out when you spray
I laughed way too hard at the 3rd finger taping part. Nice work man! Looks really good!!
Awesome paint and build. Your talent is starting to come out in ways you will not expect

Love that your doing faux patina I want to keep mine on my older 150 but have a mismatched bed color etc
The dream is becoming reality keep going it's looking great

Best bug ever!!! It's crazy good!!! Great job!!
Fricken awesome. Looks great. Boogidy boogidy boogidy. Let's go racing
This paintjob is awesome! I wanna paint my mk1 like this. Now i know how to do it. Thanks!
3:11 Don't think I don't know where you got that song Preston cause I used it first for my RockyNats vid. 😉👍😛
Well done with the bug. 👌
A moment of Genius!!
Really looks awesome!! 2nd paint job and runs…. Your getting there. Keep up the awesome work!
That is epic. I knew it was going to look great, but that is next level. I am so impressed. Keep up the great work 👍😎
Thanks man!
the runs have a lot to do with your painting technique. you have to keep the direction your spraying uniform at all times when you change directions and then move to a new spot spray in another direction by the time you get back to that first area the edges have started to dry so if therssses a dry spot it will cause a run.

Turned out awesome! I haven't seen a whole lot of "fake patina" attempts come out looking good, but this definitely came out perfect.
Just found your channel and got to watch the whole paint & body series b4 lunch...great job,new fan.
Thanks man!
Nice work. I love the side stripe details!
Love it, love that patina effect, did my engine bay like that instead of hydro dipping in the end.
Sick! Those colours work well together!
Nice job bro! I think it looks awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Scrappy the bug looks sinister it came out killer awesome... so proud of you ....
Don’t stress the paint too much. Cut it and level it the best you can and believe me it will polish amazing.
love it the detail is on point!!
you might've to buff the hell out of that top coat but the paintwork is art and dont let anyone else tell u otherwise..its so beautiful
Looking good! 😀👍
This build has inspired me to finally start my Vanagon project. 😀😊
Looks so cool! Time to take her racing now!
"It's not perfect, but I like it a lot" pretty well sums it up for me too.
later on, you could dimple die the holes in the hood and engine cover. It would give it a little more finished look. But it has turned out really sweet looking so far.
