Thank you all for your support in the comments and keeping me going while i work! I'm now off to drink 12 pints of san miguel 😂
Does April like it Ben.
@@julianharvey6584 Ben you light weight 😂 only 12 😎
Hi there. Very nice and quality work on the spitfire!! I think you should do as much work under the hood as you can . This is a jewel of a car. I ve always love the Spitfires. I'm a small guy myself, and would really like to own that one, specially with this forest 💚 green. Love the paint job you're doing . 😊
Happy hangover
Fantastic 😅
Morning Ben, yeah we think you should detail under the bonnet, it would be a shame not to with all the work that you have done so far 😊👍🏻
I honestly don’t know why you don’t have millions of subs. You’re not only great at what you do. But your humour is a 12/10. I’m honestly so glad I found your channel. Keep up the great work sir.
I've admired that Peugeot green ever since it came out, never expected to see a Spitfire painted in it - looks amazing! 🎉
Here is a solid vote to dress up the Spittie's engine. Loved the series. I used to have a TR4. I want a Spitfire now ....
Would love to see the engine bay detailed 😄👍
That is a gorgeous color, in the words of Black Adder, you have produced a gem of pure green.
Do not worry about how long the episodes are I’d watch if they were 6 hours long, they are never boring.I’m never going to spray a car but it’s so interesting to find out about different reactions to different paints, I never realised that was a thing. Learning so much keep them coming 👌🏻
Agree 100%
That looks absolutely glorious
Colour is amazing isn't it
I'm currently restoring a TR7 and I've watched a lot of car restorations on You Tube. It's really refreshing to see someone showing their failures and issues rather than everything being perfect first go. These videos just go to show that your setup doesn't have to be perfect and in the real world things don't always work out first time. But you just have to give it a go and get on with it!
Look amazing Ben all your videos are great well done
I vote YES to more episodes of this car.
I watch these vids using headphones but keep forgetting about the heavy metal intro, Now 75% deaf 🤣
🤣🤣 I need to sort the levels
Do the engine bay detail
Now that is one fantastic colour. Great content mate. Love your attitude and humour.
Definitely would watch an engine bay detailing video. Would round off an excellent series, perfectly.
Wow looks friggin awesome Ben. Great colours. Marc from Australia 🇦🇺
Don’t worry about getting it out in time for us.! take your time we’ll still here for when it’s done .
What timing, literally just finished the last episode
I have never seen a spitfire in a metallic colour till this week when I have not only seen yours but another in two tone gold.
2nd part of triology watched.
Fab work Ben, great to see all stages of the work, problems too.
Not boring or long winded.
👍🍻
When I was a poverty stricken student in the early 1980s, I had a rusty Ford Escort Mk2 estate.
My girlfriend & wife-to-be owned a T reg MG Midget, in a very similar paint colour to Ben’s Spitfire.
At one point, she was renting a house with two lads one and one of them owned a Spitfire, in red. He was a shortarse.
The car looks so superb I’m green with envy 😂no seriously it’s great 👍
Hi, Marcus from Germany. I love this project, love the colour too! Your most exciting project actually 😊, although I‘m a MINI fan. I can’t wait to see the finished Spitfire with the new wheels! You may clean up the area under the bonnet. All the best for you, buddy! 👍
Thankyou Marcus from Germany I love the mötherland!
Another comment and all that good stuff as you would say 🤣 looking awesome
Ben, you’ve smashed it mate. I bet this won’t be the last painted that colour!
You should be damn proud Ben, thats beautiful 😍
Looks absolutely stunning Ben, love it
The first time my wife I sat down and watched one of your episodes, just like me she loves the colour.
If you ever think of parting company with it let me know.
Keep up with the good work well done ❤
Hiya Ben, the car looks absolutely spectacular!!! More power to you sir😊😊😊
Great paint job, That 2K stuff is lethal.
Ben cracking job credit to you for your determination for not giving up on all those reaction in the paint you should award yourshelf a medal well done.You were dead right on that green stunning.
I hope you get plenty of views Ben and get the underbonnet done. Great paint job, that was a hell of a lot of work.👍
Lovely colour Ben, I wasn’t sure but once you got the paint on you’ve definitely knocked it off, great job👍
Well done Ben fantastic job , beautiful colour
Anyone getting being on hold to universal credit vibes with the music when the paint goes on lol
Pmsl at "i can taste green" funny stuff
Very enjoyable to watch Sir. I was screaming " stopper" ( bar coat) but hey we live and learn. And i have an unfair advantage .
Lovely job, and remember even us "experts" get debris, and runs and make it all magic with colour sanding and machine polishing!
✌️❤️👍
Every day is a school day! Tomorrows episode is worth the watch
Really nice color... The car will look😘!!
Absolutely loved the video - as ever. Just a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon watching you achieve so much. So admire your resolve and to be frank I'm a little envious - got me to thinking...maybe...one day?!
What would you love to restore?
Absolutely fantastic work Ben! Hands down one of the best TH-cam channels out there!
The process of letting the solvents out of the paint is called flashing off and the best way to stop any reaction if you do get some at the primer stage is to sand back to bare metal. Had the same problem with a motorcycle.
Most definitely do an engine dress video. Beauty car. Look forward to more videos.
Beautiful colour, good job sticking to it thru all the problems
Ben Greenbeard, what a beautiful colour, really makes the Spitfire sparkle. Yes to a video about detailing the engine and engine bay. You’ve got to see this project through to the finish. Good work!
Ben looks great pat on the back mate can't wait for next episode
Yes, you must isolate the old paint from the new paint! The proxi is it indeed!
It looks absolutely gorgeous, Ben very Tasty... fantastic choice of colour. I love it 👌
So much work. Well done. Great colour
Your hr long episode reflects the work, pain, heartache & joy that is required to carry out such a task. That would not be conveyed in a 20 min slot. I am sure all of your subs are not shallow, & appreciate your efforts. The car looks the dogs b***locks!. Pse do the engine bay!
Great stuff.. yes please get the engine bay done next , deserves it
absolutely loved this. as a diy painter was watching with interest. great content
Considering you're not a paint sprayer and got no booth and heat lamps that's a cracking job ! Well done 👏 👍 Next time make a yemporary booth out of plastic spray floor with water and put a heat lamp in 👍 Again well done 👏 😉
Wait for tomorrows episode!
Enjoying your work and great music choices.
Great paint job. You ought to arrange a meet up for your TH-cam fans!
Loving your content, it’s the detail that puts your content head and shoulders over many other streamer… also loving the Brit car vibe… 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Tremendous Ben , wonderful colour
I had a brown spitfire in the 80s and used to do bodywork painted it red and thought it looked the dogs ! But I got to say the Peugeot metallic green really makes the spitfire look amazing
I had a 1300 Spitfire MK4 for 7 years in the mid 80's , colour inca yellow NKT977M , it was a lovely car , the main thing that breaks on the Spitfires are the trunions , the centre bolt snaps , funny thing is fortunately they always seem to break on very low speed , like turning a corner .The Spitfire was originally a 1300 cc , I fitted a 1500 gold seal engine that was restored from Appleyard , in the seven years I had the car it had 3 engines & I eventually replaced the gearbox with the 1500 with overdrive , it's the only car I know inside out , I still have the spare ignition key with the triumph keyring , I still occasionally dream of the car every now & then , best car I ever had & it held the road really well despite the rear single leaf spring .
I swapped the twin SU carbs for a single Strongburg , it worked really well & was far more economical .
FANTASTIC RESULT🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
My dad was a clever bloke. He told me when I was 6, John painting is 90% preparation and 10% application. The second thing he said was there is no such thing as cheap paint. Only ever use the best paint on the market or you will regret it. Having said that I am surprised at the reactions you are getting, most modern paints are very forgiving.
I once remember painting a car and it dried like crazy paving
Absolutely stunning and very unique, it looks superb 👌🏻. If I were you I would have to sort that engine bay out and dress it to look as nice as the paint job. Really lovin this series, thank you for putting the time and effort into your videos ❤️👍🏻✊🏻
That colour and all your labour have produced a stunning looking spitfire.. can't wait for the finished article 👌
Yes yes yes dress the engine bay. We want to see it happen sir.
Wow Ben Iove the colour of the Spitfire you do a amazing job best car you do so far can't wait to see the last one of the spitfire keep up the good work can't wait to see what you doing next 👍
God I love this.
No other channel I watch uses backing music that sounds like 1960's french softcore.
It's blooming brilliant.
Lovely work mate , luv the colour she looks schmick 👍👌
Good job Ben great colour.
Looking amazing! I vote for engine bay paint & detail
Stcers fix everything 😂👍✌️
Can I wish your lungs all the best for a speedy recovery looking at the clouds you formed in the workshop?!!
But agreed, it's a fabulous colour.
Sos m8 now the positive excellent job and a truly great colour 😊😊
I’d like to see the engine bay detail. It’d be worth doing especially after you’ve done all this work to the rest of the car
Thought next episode was at 6pm tonight ? Guess will have to go to 🍺🍺Pub now instead 😁 THANKS Ben 👍🏻
Looks ace, that green is superb.. Coming from a non green car person!
Its got a bit of "70's vibe so suits the Spitty!
Nice job Ben ..
That is the tastiest spitfire iv ever seen 👍
You make spray painting look easy I know how hard it is .
looking fantastic !
Firmly agree with the engine spruce up / detail / fixing - You've gone to a massive effort to paint it, it's stunning now. Be a bit of a shame if you didnt do the engine!
Also - spent my saturday with the previous episode then this one on the big telly, absolutely brilliant watching :)
Love your channel. And love the cars you cover. Greetings from Delaware
Like the colour on this car!
Looks fantastic I must say well done
Just here to 'thumb up' the engine bay yes comments...
Wow Ben the green colour is SUPERB it’s gorgeous.
Car looks fantastic
love the colour Ben cant wait to see it finished good luck with it
Like said on your FB post it's got a classic Aston feel to it, stunning.
Looks amazing,great choice on the colour 👍
awesome Ben I like the colour it shows that in these days of instant gratification that a little (lot) of time spent doing a job is worth it in the end. so many other channels and especially tv shows make it look so easy. The "click & Collect" generation need to take note, there is no substitute for a bit of hard graft to achieve real self satisfaction. Go on why not finish the job detail the engine bay, you know you want to!
The TACK clothe Ben is made from the bean of the TIC TAC TOE TREE in Peru which is chewed by little old granny’s into a pulp , laid flat on screens and left to dry over 1 day in hot sunshine ☀️, quite an intensive process but so worth it 😁. Only use the ones from Peru 🇵🇪 because they are the tackiest on the market , glad you wore your gloves now 😂.
That color is amazing!
Banging colour choice Ben ! 👌
Would love you to detail the engine, engine ancillaries and engine bay.
Car is looking fantastic Ben , well done 👍🏻 and yes love to see an engine clean up video in future 👌🏻 Spitfire deserves it I think.
Absolutely top notch work. Nothing wrong with your video length (not ten hours though). You have so much faith in your work. She looks beautiful (from a none driver).
Fantastic work Ben, the finished paint is of professional standards. Great and very brave choice of colour. 👏👍
I know Lunar Grey is fashionable among the the P6'ers, but I'd love to see the 2000 done in that Green. And as you know, all the panels unbolt from the chassis, making your life easy!
great choice on the paint matey looks fantastic.
Beautiful colour
lurrrve that colour man .. nice job!
You are an absolute genius Ben 👍 cant wait to see when its finished
