He needs to sand it down and smooth it out and redo it. Now that he knows it turns out cool it would look amazing if a few hours of prep was done instead of 15 minutes.
I still say with all the effort he's put into it, he should just make it a Lemons race car and race it in one of the Lemons races. Then he'd have a VINWiki story.
Fun fact: During the Mythbusters episode about figuring out if you could, in fact, polish a turd, they also learned that you cannot say the word 'turd' on the Discovery channel.
Tbh I was thinking the same I would've used sand paper to smooth the rusted parts and fill in the worst rusted areas and then spray paint the car. And all chrome doesn't look good to me... I would've gone with iron man colours
Imagine being his son and then years later you realize how cool of a dad he really was and how much awesome stuff he does. Sick video Matt! keep it up!
Yeah man some tuck and roll velvet upholstery with little dingle balls trim around the top of the windshield and some fuzzy dice hangin from the rear view mirror, and then put some cherry bomb glass packs on twice pipes with of coarse chrome tips.
I mean not counting the car underneath it's actually a better color than gta's chrome. (I've never liked the look of gta5's chrome. And you can't use decals with chrome because gta logic chrome+decal=chromed decal.. Literally nothing else covers liveries..
Well Matt, you will not be out of place with a flashy El Camino in Texas that's for sure. Put a FOR SALE sign in the window and park it at Home Depot for an hour. Be sold in 1 day!
My favorite part of this video is that his son is getting to spend quality time him. These are going to be good memories of doing crazy stuff with his dad.
Love these videos. Watching you getting your old car working again makes me want to get the car o have running again. It is a car I grew up in that my grandma had and left toe when she died. Unfortunately I didn't have the means to keep it running. Has been sitting for a few years, I really want to try to get it running again. Thank you for inspire me to try harder.
You're so right about the colour scheme sir Chrome is definitely better then gold and the name "El Chromino" is so perfect for this cool looking car 👍😍👌
"El Chromio" is perfect. Use the blue chrome window tint similar to what is available in sunglasses. Historical note: Back in the fifties and early sixties, guys would name their hot rods and have the name painted on the rear quarter panel of the car. El Chromino is a throwback custom. Well done!!!
Tires needed to stay black for sure. I did this exact thing to my bicycle when I was 12 hahah. I regretted painting the tires chrome even at that age hahaha
I thought the same thing But then I thought about how OLD those Mastercrafts are.. and how long at least one of them sat flat... and while we can't see it, im sure the sidewalls have some weather rot and are due for a replacement (after Mat runs over a few tree stumps and broken branches hooning around the ranch to finish them off of course.)
To tint the windows you can but stick on two way mirror plastic that’s sold for shop windows. It comes in large rolls and you can cut it to size and it’s relatively cheap
Salvatore Baleno yeah that technique made me cringe... looks surprisingly not bad, though a little prep and 5 min video on how to paint, could have been even more epic.
Sand, primer and a clean 3 coats of chrome. Would look awesome. But id still put 5 to 6 clear coats over it. If you want you could also wrap it chrome.
The Chevrolet El Camino is a pickup / coupé utility vehicle that was produced by Chevrolet between 1959-60 and 1964-1987. Unlike a standard pickup truck, the El Camino was adapted from the standard two-door Chevrolet station wagon platform and integrated the cab and cargo bed into the body.
They still make the tint. Its just called "one way mirror" tint instead of chrome. Get it in 5% for maximum chrome look.
I just envision Mere looking out the window drinking coffee and shaking her head at her giant toddler of a husband :)

EL Chromino: "so you have chosen *blind* "
If this doesn't get a turret or cupola in the bed for the hand cranked mini-gun, I'll be very disappointed.
I was thinking a turret mounted chrome plated 50 BMG.
El Chromino wants the mini-gun mount.
Rust oleum makes a “turbo” spray can you should get a few of those and clear coat for a great popping look
Yeah he definetily needs to clear coat it!!
He needs to sand it down and smooth it out and redo it. Now that he knows it turns out cool it would look amazing if a few hours of prep was done instead of 15 minutes.
I think the bumpers and mirrors and trim he should do gold.
Do the bumpers and mirrors and trim gold. The car will be chrome and gold. Hell yeah Brother!!!
You need a custom horn that plays the “la cucuracha”
This needs more thumbs up
I disagree, it should be a megaphone with cleetus yelling YEET YEET!!
I was thinking the exact same thing. I thought a giant horn right on the top playing la cucaracha at the press of a button XD
This is absolutely necessary
Scarecrow first off its YEE YEE, secondly NOOOOO
Needs mirror tint, but then also a windshield banner saying “El Chromino”
Exactly what I was thinking 🤣
Agree
good comment. Nice ratio.
I was thinking "Matt" and "mere"... She'd love it.
You are the embodiment of the type of person I want to be when I’m older. Your responsible when you need to be but still have plenty of fun 😂
I can totally see Mere rolling her eyes and shaking her head.

Matt: “hold my beer”
Fun fact: During the Mythbusters episode about figuring out if you could, in fact, polish a turd, they also learned that you cannot say the word 'turd' on the Discovery channel.
You can't polish a turd. But, you can highlight one.
You CAN polish a turd, but you have to get it cold enough first.. say a bath in liquid nitrogen.
You can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter
@@Jacob-qy7vo You can polish a frozen turd OR you can just cover it in glitter and make it fabulous!
Nothing better than an El Chromino!
Only thing better would be gold and chrome camo pattern
Matt: "We are gonna restore this car the RIGHT way."
*grabs can of spray paint*
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Selecting the right one is better but choosing a none glossy paint will be a monstrousity
Tbh I was thinking the same
I would've used sand paper to smooth the rusted parts and fill in the worst rusted areas and then spray paint the car.
And all chrome doesn't look good to me... I would've gone with iron man colours
El Chromino Still needs: completely chrome longhorn skull hood ornament. You’re welcome.
Yeah no, Matt's not going anywhere near anything longhorn related.
Just the horns dukes of hazard style
It needs his Gatling gun on a turret in the bed
Yeah the longhorn should stay, a Gatling gun and racks of RPG Ammo
First though was el chromino!!! You beat me to it🤟
Needs flames ... Needs "El Chromino" etched on the back window low rider style ... Bolt a blower and scoop to the hood ...
Needs a couple of Highpoints for door handles
Sick AF. I want one.
You have returned
Baby come back
Chrome chain link steering wheel is pretty much required at this point
And a footprint gas pedal
Need fuzzy dice on the mirror

Oh jesus the smell would be HORRIFIC
Stradman would be proud
Yeah man some tuck and roll velvet upholstery with little dingle balls trim around the top of the windshield and some fuzzy dice hangin from the rear view mirror, and then put some cherry bomb glass packs on twice pipes with of coarse chrome tips.
If you can paint the tires (shuddering) then yes to the purple shag rug and seat covers. Plush, super plush shag...really shaggy.
Chrome exhaust stacks coming out of the bed like a semi-tractor.
Like the 5ton!!
LMAO
🤣😁😆🤣
Yes stacks on bed like able
Naw
Str8 our front fenders
Does anyone else want a Mere reaction to this?! The look of disappointment is always priceless!
Matt like a solid week ago: “There will be NO restoration, I’m sorry.”
Matt now: “We are restoring it, and we are doin’ it the right way.”
Proceeds to spray paint it chrome
@K-rool klapph - uh... at what point did a rattle-can spray 'chrome' get approved (by the powers that be) as a restoration project? :))
Somebody only watched the beginning of the video before they commented
no, that's not right way XD
isitmondayet around 0:50
It just needs a matte black Demo Ranch Eagle on the hood. Then it will be perfect!!
Definitely tinted the windows! Since you are in Texas how about steer horns? Your infectious laugh makes it fun.for us! Love it Matt 🥰👍👍🥰
Only thing needed to improve El Chromino: A GE Minigun made of stainless steel and chromed parts mounted in the bed.
That would be awsomme
I like the way you think
Why not the Gatling gun chrome painted.
He has to do it now
It needs a tripod at the back with a rail for the “ essential accessories” (like 50 cal and other necessities, you know)
Put boggers on it, that would be so dumb but so perfect at the same time
That's what I was going to say
Lol exactly my first thought
This is Off the Ranch. Tripod is for cameras and accessories.
I was literally about to say that
Matt's over here making his first chrome car in GTA V.
"Chandler M"
I was thinking the same thing, all those stupid lookin GTA online cars next it needs those $ rims
Finnaly one 50 races
I mean not counting the car underneath it's actually a better color than gta's chrome. (I've never liked the look of gta5's chrome. And you can't use decals with chrome because gta logic chrome+decal=chromed decal.. Literally nothing else covers liveries..
Lmfao i was thinking the same
Hahaha there's nothing better than gold...... we're going chrome baby! If ever I'm feeling down one of Matt's videos always picks me up!
Make sure you wear a pair of those 'mirror' sunglasses when you're driving El Chromino!
Pit Bull sunglasses
I mean pit viper
You gotta get a Crown Vic next and paint it copper and call it “The Copper”
Genius... took me a second but genius
Hey btw it's not Chrown it's chrome
Well Matt, you will not be out of place with a flashy El Camino in Texas that's for sure. Put a FOR SALE sign in the window and park it at Home Depot for an hour. Be sold in 1 day!
AHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Definitely gone keep my eye out for chromino 🔥💯😂😂
It actually looked good until he painted the tires.
then it looked great
Yeah I agree
Yo mom looked good till i saw her
Agree :D And the mirror windows great idea :D
Should have put some Flexseal in that bed before painting it.
@Shawn Snyder Is there such a thing?

What about a chrome plated turd?
😂😂🤣🤣🤣 have not heard that in ages
Can you polish a turd?

With chrome tips
Chrome Longhorn steer horns, that are also bedazzled
@@BamaRushandLilMan Just the tips mind you
Agreed!

Who knew you'd be a demolitia member....
Limo tint

Imagine if it were sprayed on a prepared surface and hit with a little polishing compound and buffed out? 🤣🤣🤣
i mean a layer of clear will make it POP
What he needs is a high gloss clear coat!
They make a chrome paint you spray with a gun over black paint, it really looks like polished chrome
Looked pretty good until he painted the tire's
This episode Matt finally finds a car he can see himself in...
☝️
I see what you did there
Jay•Gon•Get•Em Wdym so does Matt
You cheesy man
Ba Dum Tsss
This is GREAT! My first vehicle was my Dads El Camino as well.
I can hear Mere rolling her eyes when she sees this.
...from here...🙄
Hahahaha
Hopefully she's annoyed enough to get it destroyed. It was so much nicer before, despite the rust.
Anonymous Accordionist you’re delusional
This thing needs an demo flag flying off the back, maybe a lil smaller than the Abel's flagpole but chrome pole
*a chrome and black demo flag
Should talk to Cleetus about sending over one of those "Hell Yeah Brother" tire stencils & she'd be perfect! 😂
DId you see that Cleetus was wearing a Demolitia hat in his latest vid?
You're so right about the colour scheme sir Chrome is definitely better then gold and the name "El Chromino" is so perfect for this cool looking car 👍😍👌
The moment he said “Chrome is better than gold”........ my heart both sank and leaped for joy 😂😂

Oh no no no......
You should put clear coat or something to seal it so the paint doesn’t rub off or wash off and it will also make it look like Crome more.
Hee hee hee... it ain't gonna last that long!
Needs an LSX, Drag radials, and a slam job ;) Thanks Matt!
I love it. I want to see your dad’s face when he see’s it and your wife’s ❤️

The first ever El Chromino. Why no one ever thought of this before Matt? Matt I got to hand it to you. It's a frist.

clear coats on this paint makes it turn silver matte again unfortunately.
Sand, primer and a clean 3 coats of chrome. Would look awesome. But id still put 5 to 6 clear coats over it.
If you want you could also wrap it chrome.
I would have sanded it down and put 3 coats of chrome on it. Clear coat would be a complete waste of time on the chrome paint.
Im wit ya

Put some chrome exhaust pipes! Great video!! 👏👍👏👍👏👍
Am I the only one who's wondering how many rattle cans this took? 😂😂
I'd say easy 10-12 cans for a consistent coat
@@zackerywilson4787 probably at least that i would think lol
I wondered the same and was thinking at least 10. 🤷♀️ LOL
20 or more that rusty bed took more then you think!!
15-20 cans at around 7$ a can, $100-120 was "invested". Still though, looks better than a basic Maaco paint job.
