Porsche 911 (87): Blend Paint Job
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ม.ค. 2021
- This film is about the restoration of the fender of my Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 from 1987.
It all started with a careful cleaning, but I soon noticed that under its so-called rust protection some corrosion issues were waiting to be dismantled. I've repaired all the rust damages in my last videos, this time I do all the corrosion protection and painting.
I'm using body sealant, stone guard, filler, water based paint and two-component clear to realize a blend paint job and bring the whole thing back to its original state - as much as possible.
As announced in the film, here's the e-mail address to ask for a special offer for the Flex PXE 80 Battery Powered Polisher: info@matoopa.com

Just love your thoroughness and attention to delail.... loved the vid..
Your car and camera work are like your car 🚗: beautiful.
😊
Very well explained and a lot of useful information... I'll have to start upgrading my '85 Carrera also, if I see the result 🙂🙂
You certainly have to!
I’ve hardly ever seen one that was in real good shape at these spots.
The care and attention is immensely therapeutic. After watching one of your other videos, I finally pushed aside the disappointment of my dash binnacle warping from heat during powder coating, and stripped it back down. I found I enjoyed the process more by just taking my time with it, unscrewing the switches carefully and gently placing them out of the way to eventually be re-installed on another binnacle. Nobody ever does anything properly any more, and seeing someone truly take the time to do the best job they can is highly infectious.
Thanks for excellent videos, really looking forward to seeing them crop up in my subscriptions in the future.
I’ve just read out your comment loudly to my family and they absolutely loved it. Thanks very much in deed.
Good evening tonight's unwinding viewing I find it great how you tackle all these tasks really interesting viewing
Glad you like it, mate!
@@GreasyFingers as these are a year old do you have any newer or does car not need any more work
You are a master.
Thanks, Johnny!
This is one of the most enjoyable restoration channels on TH-cam. Great work and some very helpful tips. Loving the Giulia!
Thanks, Nicolas. That’s very kind. Don’t hesitate to recommend the channel to friends.
I wish I had half of your skills with metalwork and painting! Thank you for this most enjoyable video and congratulations for this job well done on the Carrera.
Thank you, Matteo.
Six weeks later I can now start the work I wanted to do in the first place. 🤌🏼
Amazing workmanship. Better attention to detail than about any restoration shop on the planet
Thanks, Steve. You know, restoration shops need to make money and who would pay for my kind of work?
Impeccable job as per usual!! Looking forward to next videos!
Thanks, Enrico!
really enjoyed the update.
Nicely done 👏
Inspiring prep work and attention to detail. I really enjoy watching and learning form your series of restoration videos.
Thank you, James.
I can see yours is a Carrera too?
Your research and technical ability are fantastic, makes me appreciate the work and thinking the factory put into the 911 now 34 years ago. I've driven my '87 daily for over twenty years now and with a little help from the Porsche God's & Spirits will continue for another twenty! Your videos are invaluable, thank you.
So good to read that.
You rally own yours since +20 years and use it as a daily? Wow! Means California, Nevada, Texas ...?
Same here boss,my 87 turbo has been my daily since new! 400+ K miles and still runnin strong
Dejan Filipovic 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Best way of starting of my Saturday morning! Mind-boggling attention to detail! Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks! Good details make me happy..
This looks like such a satisfyingly good job, it makes finding rust spots look enjoyable
Thank you Chris. I wouldn’t go that far. 😆
Thank you! Your videos have motivated me to take better care of my cars, even my bicycle and tractor! Informational, entertaining but really therapeutic..
That is so good to read, David. Thanks a ton!
Congratulations, perfect result. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, mate. Now for the tricky B-pillar ...
정말 멋있는 인생이다.
Well done - pleased the preservation of the original paint worked out - nicely blended. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Manjit. Hope the 996 is doing great and you have the door issues sorted.
Simply amazing to see, how lovingly a man can restorate his car. And let me say: The sound of your voice is calming!
Thanks, mate.
Girls tend to fall asleep when they meet me. 😆
@@GreasyFingers , girls not always tell the truth! 😏
You should have told me that earlier!
Beautiful job as always. Enjoyed the video immensely.
Many thanks. Always a pleasure to read your comments.
Excellent Excellent work! Your great skill, detailed step by step process and very articulate commentary and explanations makes this the best restoration video I have seen by far. I am a beginner amateur restorer and I have learnt so much.
In Kenya we say ASANTE! meaning THANK YOU!
I really love it when people watch my films all over the world. Thanks very much for commenting.
Asante, Bryan!
good job on the major research to understand the steps one must take... Deeply satisfying to see work that frankly no one will see in the end be done to a pedantic level.
Thanks, James. It’s like your girl having nice underwear, isn’t it?
@@GreasyFingers Hopefully it doesn't take this long to get to reveal those underwear..😂
I wish i could do the same job in my E30s.
Awesome!
Thank you, Pantelis. I think you just should. I’m telling you a secret: when I start my projects I’m full of doubt.

come see us!
Rebuilt my engine last summer (split case) kept it pretty much to factory 3.2 specs upgraded to newer alloy cylinders, the hardest thing I've had to do in the past two decades is just leave it alone drive it and not tweak it ruining reliability. I grew up canyon racing high performance motorcycles in LA and later the mountain roads of the Hudson Valley NY. So it is very hard to for me to just leave anything alone.
P.S. It occasionally snows here, for shits and grins on a snowy day I drove over to the Maserati dealership (no Ferrari here) armed with all the mailings they sent me I told them I was here for my complimentary test ride!
Thanks for letting me know. I googled the place, it looks spectacular!
I‘m not a tuning guy either and I hope the engine will be grateful for that.
I hope you brought the Maserati back in one piece.
Great content 👍
Thanks, Paul.
Hallo super Arbeit mein Respekt 👍👍👍 bin gespannt wie es weiter geht. Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus dem Ruhrgebiet Kai
Danke, Kai. Mit der Lackiererei begann alles auf TH-cam.
Great job! And great information 👍
Was your clear coat cellulose based on the acrylic colour?
Thanks, Pete.
I used 2-component acrylic varnish.
Well done - still - if I would treat my actual 1964 Kadett project that way, it would take me three or four years 😳
It also takes you 3-4 years at a 911. 😆
Fantastic results...I tried to blend paint in the past but never managed a 100% match, well done! Does the water based paint need high temperatures to cure?
Hey Geoffrey.
Two things about blending: you gotta be lucky that the paint guy matches the colour properly. I normally bring along the filler cap so that he can do the fine tuning. Things are much easier when you paint towards an edge like I did because the differences caused by light and shadow help to hide differences of the colour.
Drying time of water colours isn’t a problem, it takes as long as an according amount of water would take to evaporate, i.e. over night.
Only 3 more wheel well to go!
You hit the nail to the head! 😆
Congratulations for the channel. Related to the Iwata LPH80, what size of nozzle are you using?
Thanks, Felipe. I have the 1mm
Hi great video, I have a 79 3.0l SC. What was the mastic tape you used to reseal / attach the wing? ( Fender) thanks for your time and advice.
Hello Sacha. Thanks!
That’s a butyl sealing tape.
As usual, thorough and well explained. Very inspiring video!
At 15.00, what did you applied to avoid metal to metal contact? I will have to do the same for my 240Z restoration, and I am still unsure which material to stick there. OEM is unavailable, and as many, I am tempted to go with a basic adhesive foam…
Thank you!
There’s a traditional product for that purpose that has been used from the beginning of coach building, named butyl tape. You can get it from all major manufacturers like Petec, 3M, ..
@@GreasyFingers Oh so it's not foam but butyl! Interesting. I'll definitely look it up. It would certainly last longer than the factory foam there was in my 240Z in that spot...
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the videos and I happy to see a shared passion for keeping these masterpieces in good order to enjoy. My passion is for Porsche 928. When you have time can you please share the name/model number of the spray gun equipment you use as I too need to purchase one. Also the name of the primer you use before paint. All the best!
regards,
Mike
Thanks, Mike!
It’s funny you say that, I bought a 928 this week!
The gun is an Anest Iwata LPH80, the primer EP-Ground 100-20 from Mipa.
@@GreasyFingers Nice! congratulations! I am sure you will appreciate the V8. I bought mine about 6 years ago, its a 1991 928 S4 slate grey automatic. I was lucky as the previous owner brought it over from Japan, it has less then 75,000Km. Always wanted a 928 since I was young. I'm slowly refreshing her due to family and work time constraints. Like yourself, I enjoy making her new again. Thank you for the info and hope to see your 928 on the videos. Happy Holidays!
regards,
Mike
Thank you for sharing your skills. I have a question about how you have restored the interior aspect of the hood. I have seen the trim pulled back but what’s going on behind there?
Thanks, Matthew. I don’t know exactly what your mean. Inside the hood no painting was required. It’s all nice and neat there.
@@GreasyFingers What I was asking about is the anterior aspect of the metal you sectioned out to the left of the shock absorber.
Okay, I see. There is a rather big opening at the inside panel where the repair took place. That allowed me to grind some of the seam, not much though. I will apply some grease product and in the future check what’s going on there at regular maintenance.
Hi. Great job. Can you please give use some details about the Low pressure spray gun. What are you using ? ( 0.8 nozzle or > ) It is very useful to know for small painting jobs. Greetings from Germany
Thanks, Tom. Yes, I use the 0.8 nozzle.
Everything else is just a standard Anest Iwata LPH 80. I recommend to have a pressure valve directly at the gun though it’s not a bargain. If you turn the fan on (a bypass valve that redirects some of the air flow to flatten the spray), pressure drops a good bit and you don’t want to run to the compressor every time you need the fan.
Great work and have learned a lot from your site. I’m planning in getting the iwata hlp80 but trying to decide between .8mm or 1.0mm...any recommendations or thoughts.
What kind of coatings (primers, base, and clear top coats do you use? Are you using 2k products or iso based paints? If you are using iso based hardeners, what’s your Personal Protection Equipments regimen. I noticed you also use single stage spray can coatings as well.
Lastly on rust conversion. What’s your philosophy on treating surface rust within inaccessible cavities before rust protection. What brand of neutralizer do you use.
I thank you in advance and keep the motivative progress of your projects coming!!
Aloha for Hawaii!

@@rudytamayo7043 Hello Rudy. It’s one of the great things of this place that you can learn to know people all over the world. Most of the questions you’re asking are answered in my video Protecting Classic 911's from Rust - Part 1
There’s also soon going to be a video about the protection of cavities, but the main information is available already in the video mentioned above.
I have both nozzles for the LPH80, but frankly I don’t experience much of a difference. I think all the Carrera films I did with the 1mm.
Beautiful work. Can you send a link for the base paint and clear you used? I have a similar project on the horizon for my 1985 3.2 carrera (also guards red). Last time I did any paint on the car was 2013, and I used 2k solvent-based base and clear, both with isocyanate hardeners, which I am not crazy about for potential health/inhalation reasons. Seems like the water-based has come a long way since then, and I would like to use it for my upcoming project. Is your base 1k? And the 2k clear - does that use an isocyanate hardener?
Chris
Thanks, Chris.
That is in fact a topic that I wrap my mind around quite a bit.
As you can see in the films, I’ve used water based paint and all things said and done, it worked okay. The point is: a solid clear coat on top of it is mandatory, so judged by the amount of potentially hazardous solvents, the advantage is exactly zero, but you’re one work step down.
I will in future use acrylic two component paint again, invest in good ventilation in my workshop and be more consequent in wearing a mask.
Memorising videos, thanks. I would like to know what air gun you used please as in your hands it seems to works well! When you used black is there a particular shade you use on the Porsche or is it just black!
Thank, Gareth. The gun is a Anest Iwata LPH80, the black is RAL9005.
@@GreasyFingers thank you!
Do you not put a strip of sealing tape between wing and inner wheel house where it bolts on ?
I sure do, see 15:05
Wie warst du mit dem Farbmatch zufrieden? Hast denen ein Muster (zB Tankdeckel) zum Abgeich geschickt, oder hast du nur mit der Nummer bestellt?
Ich glaube, es passt ganz gut, aber das kann damit zu tun haben, dass dort unter die Radhäusern kein UV-Licht hinkommt.
Und oben an der Kante sieht man eh nur Schatten. Deshalb habe ich diesmal nach Nummer bestellt.
Wenn man Flächen beilackiert geht das garantiert schief.
@@GreasyFingers Danke für deine Nachricht :-)
Was für ein Klebeband wurde bei 15:08 - 15:14 benutzt? Wäre eine große Hilfe.
Das ist ein Butyl-Klebeband wie beim Orginal. Ich hab’s beim Rose bei einer größeren Lieferung mitbestellt, aber Du bekommst es auch von Petec, wenn Du eine Mail an info@matoopa.com schreibst (Frag nach Karoband Butyl).
What filler did you use ?
Simple 2-component acrylic filler.
Bis vorhin dachte ich, ich bin Perfektionist. Jetzt weiß ich, ich bin ein armseliger kleiner Pfuscher.
Das auf gar keinen Fall!
Man übertreibt es leicht ein bisschen, wenn einem immer die halbe Welt zusieht.
