I'm not a super fan of the color, but I applaud you for everything you shared with us, I appreciate how you don't try and hide mistakes you point them out and talk your audience through them. With that approach no one has the right to criticize the content your putting out, I for one very much appreciate it.
@@VinceT2940 Thanks bro. Yeah, thats what Im told. I get why… they say that the outer edges of the spray fan dry quicker, which creates the “striping” effect. So I narrowed the fan a little and added some slow reducer and it came out perfect with no striping 🤷🏻♂️. There are SOME mistakes though, that were caused by inconsistent travel speed. Luckily mostly in inconspicuous areas. Takes practice - I’ll get better, but very pleased for a beginner’s paint job. Have another spraying/practice opportunity coming up in a video soon.
Well done Mike glad to see you putting on some color .I wanted a Orange candy on mine untill I started pricing the job . Even with professional help doing (all )the body work it was going to cost a ton. I did not want to take out a loan for the paint so you have to do what you have to do.These trucks are definitely not a poor man’s hobby . Working with all the body work yourself makes you appreciate the truck that much more in my opinion . I had no idea what amount of labor goes into a nice paint job .
@@michaelhartman798 Tell me about it! First car I restored, I took it to a body shop I trusted, I about had a massive heart attack at the quote. Needless to say I started trying to learn real quick lol
Mike, your truck is progressing over mine! When I paint a single stage, my first coat is very light. You’ll see some primer thru it. After it flashes off proceed with next coat. No runs. I’ve never used satin on a final coat, but a gloss one, I’ve taken runs out with razor blade and polishing compound
That was my initial thought but with satin, its so easy to get striping so I followed the TDS sheets suggestion of two medium wet coats. I feared the worst and was pleasantly surprised in how great it turned out’
Well done sir!! Love how it turned out. I believe the reason the black on black is played out is because it’s easy. It’s hard to make sure your junk is flat. I’m guilty of wanting to do the exact same thing as you. I love that hot rod look. It’s timeless. Keep up the good work.
@@jasonhagan3170 No sir, with all single stage paint, the gloss level (matte, satin, gloss) is essentially “built in” for lack of a better term. It’s quicker and less expensive and yields a certain really cool look, but its much less forgiving if you mess up.

@@Don6939 Wow, thank you so much, I really appreciate that a lot!
That looks amazing. I like that sheen SO much more than the flat/matte look that everyone does. Yours looks unique instead of being “played out”
Thanks bro. Yeah, I always see a lot of matte and of course gloss… but not much satin. Really love it.
Although I am now where near your skill level, if I follow your lead my truck is going to be pretty darn nice.
@@kennethgray1743 It’s my first time painting a cab so you’re at the same skill level lol! Thanks for the kind words though!
looks awesome.
Thanks bud. Appreciate that!
Beautiful! Not easy to spray matt, and semi-gloss finish, nicely done!

@@79_Trucker thanks brother. It came out so much better than expected
@@intheshoptv just ordered my lvlp paint gun. Thanks for the demonstration on this product.
@@79_Trucker oh yeah? Did you get the same one?
@@intheshoptv sure did!! I bought the bundle that was $89.99 with the strainers and water separator.
@@79_Trucker Good deal. You’ll love it. Good luck - hope it turns out great!
Are you related to Chris Christy? You sound exactly like him. I do love the DIY videos. You do great work.!
No sir. Originally from the same region (tri-state area) so maybe you’re hearing my accent
Good job looks great! So you don’t clear coat satin black?? I’m wanting to paint my truck the same
