    As a fan from before the exhaust whistles, there are 3 things I commend Cleetus on.
    1. His devotion to learning and trying.
    2. His motivation and willingness
    3. His natural ability to adapt
    This goes most specifically for his driving, as a dedicated and semi professional driver myself, what he can do behind the wheel goes beyond knowledge and skill. The natural instinct he has is incredible. This carries over in everything he does and why he absolutely deserves the empire he is growing. Mad respect to Cleetus and George you are not forgotten, your commentary and genuine excitement makes every video better!

      I am always energized with Cleetus and George and their enthusiasm and ability to avoid cussing - regularly. It's downright inspirational. the whole freedom factory crew is game for almost everything! What an adaptable crew! Cleetus's ability to change and adapt from supject to subject and have George carry that Joy makes me want to be more adaptable. For Example - I don't have a plane or R/C interests - but I love to watch that content because of their joy and enthusiasm.

      I get why he did it. But it's definitely a bit of a risk. If the paint job was to come out less than perfect his reputation could take a hit. Granted it's now on video that cleet painted a portion of it, but this helicopter has the potential to be seen by many, many people and not all of them may have watched this video.
      That being said, this is a great promotional video/advertising. So the risk vs reward might be worth it in this case.

    Boy, that color brings back memories. I was partners in a shop in the '80's building street rods & restoring antique cars. We had a bunch of sub-division of various aspects of building the toys & cars. Employees did the day to day stuff, then we had the capabilities for 'our' projects.
    One division was sandblasting. We stumbled into an ongoing contract w/ Willamette Industries, the huge timber company. They had a fab shop in our town, making everything Willamette needed & doing contract jobs.
    They called us one day, said they were bidding a job & wanted to find out if we could blast AND paint it for them. I can't remember how many square feet they said, but it would be 3 weeks of blasting, 24 × 7, followed by 1 week of 24 × 7 painting. It was, at the time, the world's largest electron beam smelter oven & is still operating in the Ukraine, if it hasn't been bombed.
    It was painted the same color.
    We had 2 employees who blasted & one who painted. My partner & I and those 3 finished the job in 25 days & got a $1000 per day bonus for the 3 days we saved them.

    The copter, the airport, the eagle, Leroy, upgrades to mcflurry, the feiro wheelie car, im ot sure what im missing but man youre living the dream racing cars and selling t shirts and merch. Dreamhouse build coming up too? Good for you and your young family Cletus. Its baffling the amount of wealth gained that started off in social media. Who would have known? Be careful not to get to many irons in the fire sir. Its always a pleasure to watch.

    As someone with 20+ years painting (off and on) I love when someone gets the urge to pick up the sticks and give it a shot. Here is to Cleet setting up his own spray booth; even if it is just a small corner section. If you ever do, never, and I must repeat myself, NEVER get use to spraying without proper PPE. An N95 mask will not cut it, sure if it is every once in a blue moon it wont kill you but before you know it, you have grown a lil voice in the back of your brain saying, " surely I can prime & paint these two fenders without any issue" and next thing you know, 15 +/- however many years later you can't seep at night because the wheezing keeps you up.
    Please practice safe PPE..

    Top tip, you *NEED* good lighting. I didn't, which means I couldn't see where the clear was laying down. Sprayed too heavy, and looked like tears afterwards.
    For your first time laying clear, you might wanna try Finish1 Spot Clearcoat. It's much easier to spray somewhat heavy without running.
