thanks for so much free knowledge as i am starting to block my own car. glad to see you took the car back after a few years to explain your fixes with your new learned skills. already shows the pride you take into your own work.
I have very much bin afraid of taking on the body work and patch panel repairs on my truck, but ever since I have bin watching your videos I have taken on the project myself..... thanks man you are one bad Dude.
Another great video loaded with the details that can often be missed. Your emphasis on hand position and pressure when blocking made a huge difference on my project and saved me a load of time and frustration. Anyone attempting to learn these techniques I strongly suggest to watch this video and when Travis picks up that block slow it down to 1/2 or 1/4 speed and watch the hand placement and the actual movement of the block. Those small details have huge results locked up inside them. Thank you for taking the time to make the videos. Looking forward to the next one.
You know IV see one paint job that was totally screwed up, but it was so awesome looking when it was finished curing , not what me or anyone was expecting or even wanted, but it looked so cool and patena was perfect. Couldn’t have done it even if we tried. Customer loved it and it totally fit the car. It was so clean.
Thanks for your knowledge ! You have taught me so much about new products. I am painting my 55 Chevy people ask me how did know to do body work this way ? Your name is always said. THANK YOU so much for your knowledge ! You make a person like me look professional.
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. This is another great one! I appreciate all the details. I have painted quite a few cars over the years and everything that you bring up is always something I've either questioned or that I've learned the same process. Thanks again!
Very informative presentation. Just one quick question/clarification: in the blend area near the edge of the fender and door, did you scuff the clear before putting on new base coat? Thank you!
I've had issues like this before. In my experience with the recessed style lines, it's usually primer that is still too wet or curing getting trapped by other products. I did a Mustang with fiberglass fender flares bonded on. Looked fine for a few years the a bubble appeared just above the flare line. I was using PPG NCP271 over day old epoxy. The 271 seems pretty aggressive. It's a DTM. I've also seen this issue with etch primers. Also aggressive. The recesses seem to hold more material and stay wet longer. I've learned to back off around these areas. Chemicals can do funny things sometimes.
Ya I just re spray the whole thing if I have to do it like this. It’s my car and I have to look at it in all lights, and I’m a pro body guy so you can imagine finding the one flaw and scrutinizing it for years untill you just repaint the whole car. My first truck I rebuilt I was 16 when I painted it. This lessons from dad and grandpa of paint doesn’t hide anything, it exploits it, it’s a custom car I always am working on it so I prefer the primer stage then drive it for a month and find all the dents and fix it. Then when happy, paint it, IV had very good results with this, although not practical for a job, my vehicles deserve the best. Haha
I love your videos. I wish I would have found them before i painted my car. I am wondering can you scuff the car after clear and do a drop coat then respray clear? I have some stripes and a couple of spots that i sanded into basecoat. It is a high pearl blue.
I have a couple questions, After I spray DT2050 primer and it sits for weeks do I need to scuff the surface again to add sealer ,and does this same thing apply to the sealer if I let it go past the window of the sealer before painting
It does not matter what kind of thinners you trap under a new surface, especially filler, it is going to do something over time. Shoulda learned from the second repair and stripped back all the second layer and repainted.
Did some guys roof of his Expedition. He dropped it off saying there was a dent he wanted fixed. Y’all I climb onto the ladder and grind down the dent to see what’s underneath and I shit you not it looked like someone took a ball peen hammer and just started smacking it all over and then just put 4 inches of filler on it. I was so livid cause it became a major domino effect because nothing was feathering. A small dent repair ended up taking 2 weeks. Told him I never wanted to see it again.
It was above the primer. My guess is the corner was wetter and didn’t fully flash before the next step. The tail solvents got locked in and wanted out.
The only reason this and other problems occur is user error! This isn't "ROCKET SCIENCE"! Trying to be too quick, skipping parts of a process, inferior products, or non compatible products always ruins the day. I always frowned at an often used attitude of "good enough"! I always felt I could have done better on each and every job! Time never mattered and I mean never! I would lose money on a job just to make sure it was good because having it come back and doing it twice was not an option!
We could only be lucky enough to learn from someone like yourself. Someone who gets it right everytime. Here s the thing, no one will learn anything and our industry won't get any better with your attitude. There isn't a person here that will read your comment and believe you. I hope you feel better having a place to come and share how much better you are than the rest of us. We aren't perfect but we share and will always be transparent with our customers and the people that follow us.
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS Not sure why the eye roll....... I asked a question! i watched a few of your videos, and you Emphasized wearing gloves...... I guess with that attitude is why you don't have many subscribers........ see ya chump

Nice job Travis. Thanks for taking care of my car.

Everything needs to be completely sanded from edge to edge

Thank you

You are likely correct I agree
There's the right way and the "right NOW way!"😂
🤣
YOUR BACK! finally👏
Back from hibernation. 🤣

Yes that’s what this video is intended for 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great video you are a great teacher Thank You.
I appreciate that!
Thanks for the video. Keep them coming.
Thanks, will do!
What brand of high solid primer did you use ?
Ppg vp2050
Very detailed video good work
Glad you liked it
Top job !👍
Thanks! 👍
Artist at your trade my friend pleasure to watch like Bob Ross
Hahahahahahahahahahaha thank you!!
Your videos are so constructive
Thank you
One of the reasons paint peels from vehicles is because people spray the new paint over the previous one. It's always best to prep first!
I have a couple questions, After I spray DT2050 primer and it sits for weeks do I need to scuff the surface again to add sealer ,and does this same thing apply to the sealer if I let it go past the window of the sealer before painting
Yes scuff any product if it sits before applying more product .. sealer is meant to be based after flash time
Yes you must have a tooth if you are outside the recoat window.
Finally thank you
👊🏻👍🏻❤️

Ummmm I did 🤣🤣
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMSNot on camera or evidenced by the third repair you did and the size and location of your primer spot.
@@RichardHeadGaming ok there sport whatever you wanna believe is good with me. 🤪

🤣🤣🤣 been there I feel you
Wonder if the sandpaper didn't get to the inside corner.
It was above the primer. My guess is the corner was wetter and didn’t fully flash before the next step. The tail solvents got locked in and wanted out.
@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS good to know. Ill keep that in mind when im re-painting my first project here.
I've never spread filler that slow in my life 👍
