Bro most big channels now just pay someone to do it. You sit there and learn, just insane. I’ve seen you go from painting the hood scoop on the hawkeye you had, to now painting whole car. Hyped to see you progressing. Can’t wait to see this car finished. Black roof for sure!!🔥
When you asked the question" Why am I going down this route of Perfection"? Because you care about the fact that your name is on everything you do. Your daily drops are my visit to the therapist. Thanks!
There is a little trick for sanding out the runs. Take your glazing putty and lay a thin layer of it on and around the run. When you start to sand it out, the layer of putty will protect the paint around the run from getting thin from the sanding. Also the putty will act as a guide coat for the sanding, If there is putty on the run that will sand off first and you will see the run and the putty disappear together. Just going to keep posting this in hopes that he will see it one of these times.
That's an old school trick haven't heard some talk about it in yrs, I also would cut a oval hole in a paper plate an inch or so bigger than the run or sag, hold it about a inch or so off the body and spray 3 coats of hi build primer over sag/run and do the same thing
I've found the best way to get glue off of glass is rubbing alcohol. I take the sprayer off the Windex bottle and put it in the rubbing alcohol bottle and spray it on the glass then razor it off. Comes off super clean and quick. Love the channel, keep doing your thing D.
That is a pretty sick car!!! You done a fantastic works , wish I was as daring like you doing it all by yourself. Wishing Bobby a happy Birthday!! From Australia.
Oh my god Devin, that paint job was expensive but you nailed it!!! That looks absolutely insane I cannot wait for the finished product. I've tried to dabble in minor body painting but you are a GOD compared to me, keep up the good work you are my inspiration!!!!
You should be very proud Devin! Amazing job with the paint and all the body work! Tell Bobby dinner can wait, you have a sick hatch to put together 😂 looking forward to the final reveal!
I love the amount of time and effort you put into your videos. I can’t think of another channel that works as hard as you do. Love it and I can’t wait to see what this sti becomes
Phenomenal as usual! That paint is McDonald’s sprite crispy man. It looks so freaking good! You have been a hell of a motivation and inspiration. I can’t say that I’ll ever paint my own car but I am confident enough to fix the clear coat on my carbon window spoiler thing on my hawkeye Also I have been in the market for coilovers for my sti. I just used your code for yellow speed. thanks for the savings, really makes a big difference 🤙🏼
Words can’t describe how appreciative TH-cam has a content creator like you. You alone have gotten me through some tough times. Please please please make sure you are taking time to yourself so you can keep this fire content coming. You are so appreciated.
I found your channel over this summer while I was trying to figure out how to get the timing belt on my outback. Your video not only assisted me but showed me a badass channel.
My man, you are the GOAT. This by far is the best automotive channel on the tube. The fact that you post almost daily is insane, doing the work, filming and editing! You have a serious work ethic. Big props brotha 👏
Just from start to were the hatch is stanching it's looks 🔥🔥🔥 definitely go with a carbon roof matching the hood great work Devin carnt wait for the mods to start
Nice work big D... I haven't done a full respray myself since 2002... I leave it to my buddy at his body shop, I'll disassemble and put back together, just was over doing prep and paint, I've done probably 20+ cars for myself since 1979 but... I gotta tell ya. Watching you do this car inspired me to do my Bug Eye Wrx wagon I'm getting ready to disassemble for painting, I'm gonna prep and shoot it myself thanks for the inspiration 😎👍
I put that clear ceramic tint on the front windshield of my wrx and it dropped the temp of the dash at least 20 degrees. you should check it out it works great. I dont even need a sunscreen parked outside all day in NC summer.
Damn i looked for two years and saved for a perfect white wrx hatch but they are so rare and settled on a white fa wrx.i love my FA but man wrx hatch is my true dream car. love the build man.
The hatch is looking 🔥 I had mentioned in an earlier video to go carbon fiber roof with the pop-up rally scoop would look sick on the hatch. Good to see a channel showing some 🤍 ✨to the GR/GV platform so much potential 💯💯🏁
Damn I can't keep saying enough how much I can't wait to see this thing fully assembled. I would say the black roof would look great, hell if they have a Carbon Wrap that matches the hood weave would probably be just as good then going full CF Roof. Keep up the amazing progress on the vehicle Devin.
Life has not been aligning up for me lately. i open youtube and see a vid from dev and it just reminds me of how there is light at the end of the storm. Big inspiration bro
Love how you just throw yourself into shit and learn on the way!! Fantastic! I've been working in a collision center for all brands for 15 years and now at Mercedes for the last two years.. let me tell you.. those cars you work on is a breeze compared to Mercedes.. god damn I miss working in Japanese cars.. those cars are so so simple and easy to take apart and assemble compared to Mercedes!!
Devin niemela my name is. Amon Choba alll the way from Zimbabwe africa ... You have showed me that hardwork really pays thanks man ....once again peace out😂
What I would do regarding wraping: 1. front grille black to match the headlight (maybe carbon which matching with the hood mash), 2. roof carbon whith the closest mesh match with the hood, probably carbon wrap the rear spoiler but leave the side white (like on your EVO).
Tip from a tinter. Don't use Windex on your tint. It's amonia based and will slowly degrade your tint. Use an alcohol based cleaner to clean your tinted windows. Just in case you didn't know!
I'm stoked as well. the color is perfect and Its my birthday today 24th happy birthday to me hehehe stay safe everyone and enjoy your STI Devin. it's looking super dope, btw love the shirt. big thumbsup
kinda wanna own a hatch. seem to be getting more popular than when they first came out. loved it in that red but looks soooo much better now. just needs a 2l turbo dropped in now 1.5 arnt they.
Does anybody know the product that Devin uses when he washes his cars? I love the way he just sprays the foam on there and then pressure washes it off.
they’re great but due to rona they have like a 9 month lead time. i bought my vented hood like 3 months ago from them. if i’m lucky i’ll get it sometime next year
i see you switched to 60fps with the vids. I did that on my channel a while ago and loved it. everything is smoother. who else here "Likes" the video while the opening ads are playing or is it just me? haha
Man, this is a gem of a channel, someone who actually does the work on their own car no click bait BS too. Im hooked
welcome to the club
Welcome
Glad to be here, this dude deserves more.

From Australia.
That widebody and the paint look so good you killed it for your 1st time doing it🤙🏼🥵
Bro you killed it on the paint and going with the hidden hardware setup, this hatch is going to be so sick
Oh my god Devin, that paint job was expensive but you nailed it!!! That looks absolutely insane I cannot wait for the finished product. I've tried to dabble in minor body painting but you are a GOD compared to me, keep up the good work you are my inspiration!!!!
Might also be my favourite car in the fleet already. The time, hard work and dedication is now evident
White STI hatch is a dream car of mine for sure so this is like watching my dream build thanks for the great continuous content all these years!
You should be very proud Devin! Amazing job with the paint and all the body work! Tell Bobby dinner can wait, you have a sick hatch to put together 😂 looking forward to the final reveal!

Only Throtl
Paint the hood with the exposed carbon vents. And reclear the headlights while at it. So everything looks fresh
Experience is learning knowledge, even a bad experience is a learning experience, congratulations on a great job.

Damn i looked for two years and saved for a perfect white wrx hatch but they are so rare and settled on a white fa wrx.i love my FA but man wrx hatch is my true dream car. love the build man.
Been my favorite series to date. You went all in and it came out great. Stoked to see it fully assembled in the next couple days.
This hatch is my all time favorite WRX body style - stoked to see the final product!
The Hatch came out so crazy man! Love it! Cant wait to see what type of wheels you got for it! Keep it up love it man!
The hatch going to look sick! But it’s hard to say it’s the favorite out of all your cars when I see a right hand drive Supra in the background.
Goals for my hatch! Just purchased that hood and rear bumper so cool to see what my hatch will look like!
Looks great dude! 🤘
So clean!🔥 I can’t wait to see the engine to be pulled and fresh paint. Loving this build
The hatch looks gorgeous in white also I love the fast cars and freedom shirt. Can’t wait to grab one for myself
@@ringgolyn2101 that’s not Bussin
Oh my god, this is the cleanest car you have Devin.
Looks absolutely amazing!!!
Looks fantastic 🔥🔥🔥 you should paint match the inside of the headlights

Jesus bro you are a true car builder. This thing is so freaking clean and just motivates me to wanna work on mine even more
Love it Devin, looks amazing. When you first bought it, I had my doubts. All the hard work paying off!
Damn I can't keep saying enough how much I can't wait to see this thing fully assembled.
I would say the black roof would look great, hell if they have a Carbon Wrap that matches the hood weave would probably be just as good then going full CF Roof. Keep up the amazing progress on the vehicle Devin.
Daaaaang dude that aggressive look need some aggressive power too 😜💯
Can't wait to see what are mods Devin got for the hatch ❤️❤️❤️
Life has not been aligning up for me lately. i open youtube and see a vid from dev and it just reminds me of how there is light at the end of the storm. Big inspiration bro
Devin you should look into hiring an apprentice to help out 🔧 it's nice to have that helping extra hand at times.
Super stoked!!!! Love it! BTW Devin rocking the V Camo wind breaker! Can wait to purchase one. 🔥💪🏼👍🏼
So fkn dooooooppeeee!!!!
I’m buying that shirt dude, make a longline series as well dude!
Looks great! Looking forward for tomorrow 🙌🏻😎
when Devin learns we Learn!! 🔥🔥🔥
Love how you just throw yourself into shit and learn on the way!! Fantastic!

You’ve set a president with that blue evo now
Literally every car is going to have to get the full treatment now 👌
Love the STI, gives me so much motivation to finish mine. So awesome

Love it bro. That’s my dream hatch also.
There is a carbon roof replacement, required cutting the old one out
Inspiration for my Hatch, thanks Devin. She truly~ Built
Hello from Scotland 🏴 been loving the uploads of the Subaru’s progress, smashed it 👍🏻
A good compromise would be to wrap the roof with carbon vinyl.
Tip from a tinter. Don't use Windex on your tint. It's amonia based and will slowly degrade your tint. Use an alcohol based cleaner to clean your tinted windows. Just in case you didn't know!
Pics of this sti in the snow would be insane
I'm stoked as well. the color is perfect and Its my birthday today 24th happy birthday to me hehehe stay safe everyone and enjoy your STI Devin. it's looking super dope, btw love the shirt. big thumbsup
Hands down FAVORITE youtuber!! Pure reality!!! Fucks up shown and everything!!!! Keep it up!!!
kinda wanna own a hatch. seem to be getting more popular than when they first came out. loved it in that red but looks soooo much better now. just needs a 2l turbo dropped in now 1.5 arnt they.
2.5
@@deej628 did NOT know that :)
Does anybody know the product that Devin uses when he washes his cars? I love the way he just sprays the foam on there and then pressure washes it off.
So cool that you sprayed it! Great job
If you're gonna wrap the top, go with the 6D Carbon Fiber Wrap 🔥
Sick looking hatch. What are your plans for the motor? power goals?
clear needed 4 weeks or longer to fully cure, paint looks good, nice for your first time
The sickest built of Devin cant wait to complete
Look up Marsh Composites, they have a carbon fiber roof for the GR chassis.
they’re great but due to rona they have like a 9 month lead time. i bought my vented hood like 3 months ago from them. if i’m lucky i’ll get it sometime next year
Def wrap the roof and maybe the hatch as well kinda like a two tone
Love the consistency much respects bro 🙏
Lol, Bobby and me have the same Birthday date. Happy upcoming birthday!!!
So worth the effort. Great job!
i see you switched to 60fps with the vids. I did that on my channel a while ago and loved it. everything is smoother.
who else here "Likes" the video while the opening ads are playing or is it just me? haha
Looks sick af!🔥 exactly how I imagined😄
is this the moment..... ...i love it!
honestly thought this car would never look that good. great job so far !
Airbags for the hatch and white wheels or chrome wheels ? With carbon fiber wrap on roof or black even
You should put the fender trim seal on the widebody
