Excellent video and content, I paint 6-8 trucks a year…I flow coat all restoration work, I believe it’s the key to absolute perfect finish. Keep the videos coming, this old dog still learns from your style of delivery.
I only have 2 quarts of the shopline base already mixed so I could use it to trim out the backside of panels and switch to something else on the exterior in order to use the better clear. I was a production painter over 30 years ago. Just doing this truck for fun. So I am out of date on the current products. Thank you for any help you can give.
So glad this come across my feed. Started the tear down/metal work on my ‘68 c10 today. Long story but it was my dads truck he sold 30 years ago. Will be studying your videos in depth when the time comes. Thank you for documenting your work!!
The truck is looking very good job I am working on a 84 c10 Chevy truck I am working on the body I got it all strep down I hope do as good as you I woching all your video thanks for doing them I learn alot from them I can't wait for the finesh the truck thanks Mike D
Alright. I figured you’re the one to ask here. I cleared my k10 cab yesterday and have a large light spot butting up to the windshield. Would you just scuff with grey scotch brite and put a couple coats on it then wet sand/buff? Thank you sir!
@@joshuakeith8710 I would sand the whole panel with 600 being careful not to go through then scuff the edges with grey, a couple more coats of base then two coats of clear again.
Envirobase is awesome but really structured for collision shops that are set up for it. DBC is a great solvent product that is a real workhorse with a great color range. Shopline JBP works great but has some color limitations. Shopline JB works but you have to be selective on your colors because of coverage. As long as I can get the color I want, I’m good with JBP. They have several great clearcoats available. DC2021, D8152, vC5700 all great clearcoats.
@@StoutCustom My PPG store could only mix my color, light blue solid, in JB ShopLine as no formulas are offered in the DBC or other lines. Since it’s a solid color I’m hoping it will be ok. May take 3 coats to get good coverage. So I got two gallons of that and will use DC 2021 clear. They assured me it will work fine. Hopefully, it works out ok! I’m nervous, with three years of work on the line! PPG color library says I can add 5% of the clear coat hardener in the base. Not sure about that. I can’t thank you enough for the videos and your help!
@@loriethornton12 hey no problem. Glad to help. You said you were sealing it so if it’s one solid color, light grey, before you start the base you will be fine. The hardener in the basecoat gives the base a little more durability against rock chips n such. It’s a good thing.
Absolutely love your videos. Very helpful for me! I’m about to paint my 77 Chevy short bed after 3 years of a frame off with NOS parts. Using PPG products. Media blasted, DP epoxy and then JP 202. Will use DP as a sealer. Local distributor mixed ShopLine for the base coat. Will any clear work on that base coat? I have spared no expense on this truck so I want the best clear. What do you recommend? Thanks again for the videos. I have picked up so many things from you!
If you plan on painting the entire truck at once or at least in large sections, shopline JC6700 is a great clear. It’s slow drying but that helps it lay out. If it’s going to be buffed apply a 3rd coat after plenty of flash time. Thanks for watching!
@@StoutCustom Yes it will be three or four fairly large sections at a time. Do you suggest 2 gallons total of base coat mixed in a 5 gallon can like you did, so I'll have plenty and it will match? For then entire truck inside and out. Not underside though.
@@loriethornton12 two gallons has turned out to be plenty on this truck. I’m not sure I’d mix it in a 5 gallon can again though. Hard to handle. I’d probably do two gallon cans with 3 quarts in each
It didn’t have to be cleared again just trying to get it really flat and slick. It could have been cut and buffed but just going the extra mile on this one.
Great job dude. I watched all your videos and trying to do some what the same on my 69. Love the details in videos. Very helpful. R u gonna complete everything and make videos of it all ?
Thanks Paul. I’m staying on this 67 till it’s done and then I’m going to work on my stuff for a while. Maybe I’ll actually finish one of my projects this go round, lol. Thanks for watching!
The areas that you cut through on... Do you ever have issues with lifting or fry up once you apply another coat of base/color? How do you keep that from happening?
I have had it lift in the past. The previous paint had set for a couple weeks which helps and when I apply the new coat on top I just mist on enough to cover without getting it too wet. Trying to go back on a fresh paint job too soon and too wet will cause problems. Some solvent paint lines have a hardener you can add to the basecoat that also helps with this. For example with the DBC basecoat I’m using there is DX57 hardener that can be added that helps tame down the aggressive solvent a bit. It also depends on your clear coat. Some lift easier than others.
Looks awesome!! I know your prep work is #1, does that contribute as well or just in the method of spraying the clear as I noticed no orange peel, is that because of the amount of clear coat in your coats?
Yes. This second application of clear was all about getting it flat as possible with little or no peel. It had a good paint job on it already that was sanded flat as possible taking out any previous orange peel then I tried to apply the two coats of clear as wet and flat as possible without running. A quality clear with the right gun set up and some experience using both. It takes using the same clear repetitively to know how far you can push it. Thank you and thanks for watching!

Hey Jason. Glad you like the videos. I think you are right about flow coating. Always a much better product in the end. Thanks for watching!
Like glass! Great job man!

Sounds like a good plan. I use faster clear on the jambs a lot of times then a slow clear on the outside.

Turned out nice!

Thanks Rex!
Beautiful. Hoping for a “cut and buff” episode!
That sounds like work, lol. Might happen but it will be a while. Thanks for watching!
Been following from the beginning.. Beautiful work as always oh and I love the spot weld trick definitely saving that tip👌🏼
Thanks Jose and thanks for watching!
Wicked nice!
Thank you!

Base/clear or single stage? And by light spot do you mean not covered/transparent?
@@StoutCustom Looks not covered. It is a base/clear. Color is white.
@@joshuakeith8710 I would sand the whole panel with 600 being careful not to go through then scuff the edges with grey, a couple more coats of base then two coats of clear again.
This truck is going to be top notch. I'm still getting all my parts into epoxy. Getting closer to high build
Good deal! Thanks for watching!
👍
One more question I promise! Cost no issue, which base coat and clear PPG do you use for the best result possible?
Envirobase is awesome but really structured for collision shops that are set up for it. DBC is a great solvent product that is a real workhorse with a great color range.

Been waiting on this very patiently.............................. not hah
Lol. Yeah it’s been a while.
We don’t call them runs…those are signatures, autographs…if you will
lol. I sign a lot of stuff then

I see the JB or JBP base coats both have a 1 to 1 ratio. So 2 gallons would make 4 sprayable? Is that too much? Thanks so much!!
@@loriethornton12 two gallons has turned out to be plenty on this truck. I’m not sure I’d mix it in a 5 gallon can again though. Hard to handle. I’d probably do two gallon cans with 3 quarts in each
Noticed on FB that we are in the same state and FB group.
I missed why it had to be cleared again?

Were are you located
I’m in North Georgia.
Great job dude. I watched all your videos and trying to do some what the same on my 69. Love the details in videos. Very helpful. R u gonna complete everything and make videos of it all ?
The owner is going to build it so I won’t be doing a build up series on this one just all the body and paint. Thanks and thanks for watching!
Your video series is so great and helpful! Do you take on new projects? If so, I’d love to reach out about my truck!
Thanks Paul. I’m staying on this 67 till it’s done and then I’m going to work on my stuff for a while. Maybe I’ll actually finish one of my projects this go round, lol. Thanks for watching!
@@StoutCustom Bummer! I want you to make my truck look this fantastic!

looking good, When you were running the flash light around checking parts, where the paint booth lights off?
Yes they were off. It was actually quite dark in there but the camera picks up a lot of light. The light is a SATA true sun led light. Really bright.
That color is sweet, is that a C10 color from the era?
It’s a late model VW color. I’m diggin it.
Are you using ppg2021? If not what are your thought on it
This one is getting VC5700. 2021 is a great clear as well. I use to spray a lot of it.
