- Sorry folks but your friend Bradley here screwed up and accidentally uploaded the first roll on primer video while I was still working out some editing elements....oops...my bad! I started to just leave it, however, it was really, really bad so had to pull it and finish editing. Big apologies to the few of you that suffered through it...lol. Life gets crazy, brain gets jumbled. Hey, it happens once in awhile. 🤘👍
In this longwinded video I'll demonstrate how an absolute bafoon navigates his way through a TH-cam video and applying Eastwood's Roll On Primer system (not paid or endorsed by Eastwood...spent my own cold hard cash on this kit). This is NOT a "how to" video but more of an opinion of this kit by an average idiot and that's all. Make no bones about it folks, it's an incredible amount of work to prep your car for this kit. However, it's always wise to ensure that your bare metal areas and multiple layers (if you have them) are encompassed under some protection from the elements which I feel a good layer of Epoxy Primer (really it's a sealer 👍) will do. After the release of this video I will still have to spray the car with a guide coat, sand everything to reveal any low spots, fill said low spots with glazing putty, and then reapply another 2-3 coats of Epoxy Primer (really it's a sealer 👍) before it will be ready for ACTUAL urethane primer. I will most likely take a break before the first sanding process so I can rebuild the engine, transmission, and suspension because I need all those components out of the way in order to finish painting/restoring the frame and core support areas. Stay tuned as those videos will be most interesting indeed.

I like your muscle t-shirt and the slow motion priming..... Good stuff bro.
Thanks a ton....hahaha..."Sun's Out, Guns Out"!!
Thanks for the video. Good luck with your build
I used this kit for my 73 nova. After the first round of primer/sealer I’m now doing body work. But really made myself work harder listening to Eastwood about covering the whole car in guide coat lol. After the major spots I’m hitting the whole car with a 7 inch sander.
That's great information. I am going to start sanding my first 2 coats as soon as the weather gets a little cooler. Going to have to remember not to soak the entire car with guide coat after this comment. 🤘🤘👍👍. Thanks for the view, and the comment too buddy!!! It is appreciated for sure.
@@bradleysbuildingjunk6763 next time around I might consider doing the 2k primer from the spray cans. Should cost about the same but less sanding.
good job buddy, very helpful video and thankyou for your time to show us what this product is all about. I will definitely be buying this product, not because is bad quality but its too pricy for me, at this moment i am fixing my E250 ford work van myself and fixing rust ,dents and more plus a full paint job. I found a 2k primer from my local automotive paint shop for less than 80 bucks a gallon that i had to use a spray gun with a 1.4 tip nozzle and covered entire van with 2 full wet coats and its high built as well, it seems to work really good and quick dry/cure time, now getting ready to block sand with 220grit with guide coat to look for any imperfections and one more coat after that to get it ready for base coat. With base coat included im looking at less than $300 bucks so to me its more economical and decent quality. thought this info might help some viewers so they do there research..
Thank you Marco for the wonderful information! I agree that this product is very pricey and while it certainly has it's place in the automotive paint world, I might choose a cheaper option next time as well. I appreciate you checking out one of my little videos, and thanks again for the awesome comment...cheers!! 👍🤘🤘👍
That kit is really neat, looks like it flowed out pretty well. Seems like a great option for working in an attached garage. I know when I spray SPI, that the garage will hold that smell for days and that's definitely something you don't want in the house. You will have to let us know how it sands.
Hey Russ!!! Wow...thanks for watching man! I know it must make you cringe to see some of my garage work....lol, but I'm enjoying myself just the same and hope the viewing audience is as well. This stuff really really does flow out rather nicely. After initially "slopping" it on, just rolling back over the panel with no pressure at all really levels this stuff off and gets rid of all the roller lines. The smell from the 2K spray cans in the jams did indeed leave a little smell inside the house for a couple of days so could only imagine what it would have been like if I used my compressor and sprayed. 1 gallon appears to be just enough to get an entire 2nd gen under about 4 coats. I will get it again in the future for sure. Really appreciate you tuning in to my scatter brained little world 👍👍🤘
@@bradleysbuildingjunk6763 Lol, its all good. I enjoy seeing other ways to achieve the same results. Keep up the great work. Its all about enjoying the work and having fun in the garage.
got the same kit and works great laid down good can scuff later and re prime when you get ready no mess and over spray over shop
Hey thanks a ton for the sub and the view my friend!! I agree with you totally in that the kit just flat out works great for what it was developed to do. Although it's very expensive, sometimes paying a little extra can save a ton of stress. I am curious about the sanding aspects of it so can't wait to get into all of that but all in all I will most likely buy this kit again for another project that I have on the horizon. 👍🤘👍🤘
I am using Eastwood roll-on primer on my car, but I chose to just use the high build primer.It laid down pretty well, but not perfect.That's okay because I know it's going to be sanded, and this is going to be a driver.I don't have a garage, just a tent shelter, but at least it's all one color now,lol. You did a right good job on your Camaro! Get 'er done!
Hey thanks a ton there buddy 🤘. I never figured for a second when I bought this "driving project" that I would be so very deep into it, but here we are...lol. Engine rebuild is immediately around the corner which I'm super excited to finally get to. Can't wait to start doing things that will make it actually perform better. Oh, and I really do appreciate the kind words of encouragement. 👍
I know this is old, but you can get pigments for epoxy. I've used it on fiberglass hand layups as a final coat. You would be limited because of the base grey color, but I wonder if what it would look like with just the "primer" with pigment.
I was super curious about this roll on primer. Seems like it laid pretty nice. Reminds me of gel coat for boats that I have used.
I love it! This stuff cured hard as a rock as well. I'm for sure going to buy this kit again for future projects just because of how easy it was for me to use. It does get messy if you are not careful but everything seems to get messy when you are predominately working out of half of a residential garage. Thanks for watching...Cheers!
@@bradleysbuildingjunk6763 I hear you there with everything getting dirty. It’s so hard for me to keep the dust and everything out of my paint when I spray. I have decided I will be taking my old girl to my brothers work to be painted. ( he is an auto body tech) I have spent too much time on it at this point to mess up the paint. Your doing a great job! Can’t wait for the next video
Sweet! I bet if feels pretty good to see it all in one color. Looks like it turned out pretty nice and I bet that stuff is layered on pretty thick since it’s rolled on, which will help during sanding. Good work bud, looking forward to the next one 🤘
It really is pretty thick once you get that second layer going for sure. I still have to sand, fill, and do 2 more layers as well so it should be a great base to lay some Urethane Primer on top of I think. I'm taking a break before doing the final sanding and last top coats so I can finish up on the core support and frame areas. Figure I could just sand any overspray from the frame and core support off the Epoxy before laying out the last 2 final coats. It's coming along nicely and I'm SUPER excited!!!
Looks like a good kit. The Camaro keeps getting better. Great video 👍🏻
Thanks man!🤘 This is the first classic car I've ever attempted to do cosmetics on. In the past I've always just restored all the mechanical aspects and just not worried about the looks. I'm certainly learning a lot of what "not to do".... hahahaha, but I'm having a good time doing it. Ignorance is bliss....😂😂
Yeah, that looks like it came out pretty nice brother!
Thanks for the support there buddy! I really did have some great fun with this kit, and although my sanding and bodywork is far from perfect, I feel like this kit really helps remedy some of my lack of experience. I'm curious to see how well everything holds together throughout the years after being done so "unprofessionally"? This car will most likely be fully restored in another 10-13 years so my retirement years ought to be interesting....😂😫😢
Impressive. I have a 1964 Ford F250 I need to paint.
Just be mindful of the fact that there is absolutely no way to roll this stuff on without some texture. At least not that I've found so far. Having said that, it is a nightmare to sand that top layer of texture off. I think this kit is great for the hobbyist who plans to take a few years working on other aspects of the vehicle before paint. It protects great, but it's expensive and labor intensive from start to finish. Thanks for the view, and the fantastic comment....cheers 👍🤘👍🤘
If you add in the cost of a spray gun, compressor capable of spraying paint at the appropriate cfm and the overspray issues I think this may be the way to go to safe a boat load of money. Body and paint shops are outrageously expensive. I too like the idea of working at my own pace and doing the bodywork myself to save money. Great video👍
I'm about to start sanding this ole girl down next week (I'll shoot some B-roll videos of it probably) to see if Eastwood is accurate in their "easy sanding" statement...lol. Thanks a ton for watching, and the kind words as well. It is a lot of work putting these little short videos together and it does mean a lot when folks check them out..... Cheers my friend 👍🤘👍🤘
@@bradleysbuildingjunk6763 the paint is very thin so you will cut easy and hit bare metal.
@@theshark2804 yeah I've been hitting a few little test spots and that's what I'm finding too. Kinda disappointed by that if I'm being honest. Thanks so much for checking my little video out, and the feedback too. It really is appreciated my friend🤘🤘👍👍
@@bradleysbuildingjunk6763 no problem. I’ve been considering using the 2k spray cans for the high build. Eastwood 2k cams are $16 now.
People dont seem to understand you can rent a 15-20CFM compressor from tool rental places for $150 a week. You dont have to own one or buy one.
Might try this on my 55 chevy
I would imagine that with the long, sweeping, bubble like panels on a 55 Chevy this kit would probably roll out extremely nice. If your wallet doesn't mind the expense then I would go for it👍👍🤘🤘. I also wanted to show appreciation for viewing my little video. Cheers!
@@bradleysbuildingjunk6763 I've searching for some kind of primer think this will work . Need to a bit of body work than turn it go the professionals.
Great video! How did you prep the areas that were not down to bare metal?
you are doing a really good job, nothing horrible about it at all
Thanks a lot Ray!!🤘🤘👍👍. Just doing the best I can with the experience I have acquired to date. In the end these projects should be built to be driven anyways. These 2nd gen cars are not super rare yet or worth insane amounts of money so have fun with them now while we can. While it's not too horrible if you screw something up, and you can easily obtain replacement parts as well....ya know. Thanks again for catching up on all the videos too!!
@@bradleysbuildingjunk6763 i look forward to more videos, almost caught up at this point. i have seen restored 2nd Gen Camaros go from about 10-12K up to about 25-30K at times but mine def is not going to be that much of a restoration, mine is more getting back the car i should have never gotten rid of years ago
@@bradleysbuildingjunk6763 BTW...did you say you are in Arkansas? I am in Oklahoma.
Any reason you can't roll on any primer? I have brushed on non eastwood primer and it worked fine.
I wouldn't use it again lays on rough way to much sanding after
I absolutely agree. I did a follow-up video a while ago stating the very same thing. I've sanded down to 320 grit and will probably spray urethane primer over the remaining Epoxy sealer before paint. There's no way to roll it on without the texture for sure. Hey...while I've got ya here...thanks a ton for watching one of my videos. It is appreciated my friend!!
HI can i buy this product here in britain i would rather buy american then chinese we don't make anything like this here.
how much primer did it take?
So far just half the gallon and I bought 2 more cans of the aerosol spray for a total of 4 cans if I remember correctly. I saved the other half of the gallon supplied with the kit to do 2 more roll on coats after the sanding and glazing putty process. Then primer and base coat/clear coat.
Someone told me it would cost $10,000 and 12 months to paint my car. The deal breaker is I don't even want anyone to have my car that long. Unless I do it myself I will most likely not be happy.
Yep. I got about the same quotes from local body shops as well. It certainly is a ton of work and worth the price for great, professional quality paint and bodywork. However, I agree with you, which is why I'm enduring all this labor myself because I've worked out a deal with a great paint shop here that will top coat my work for half the cost. It will still be a professional quality job but not absolutely a perfect paint job for a reduced price. I really appreciate your views my friend!! Cheers!!
@@bradleysbuildingjunk6763 here is a clip of my car. 1963 Lincoln Continental. th-cam.com/video/evqPWCIxM0g/w-d-xo.html
thats goin to be a bitch to sand
According to Eastwood it's not....😂🤣..... However, I'm more inclined to believe you though. For my sake I hope it sands pretty well...lol.
At least $300 extra just for too many rollers and a paint tray.
Well...they do give you a ton of paint tray liners too so totally worth it... hahahaha. Yes, it's a ridiculously expensive kit I'll have to agree but I found it did have everything I needed to complete this job effectively and I do appreciate that with my busy schedule. All in all it is still a quality product which is getting harder to find this day in age as well. Thanks a ton for watching (whether you enjoyed it or not) I appreciate ya buddy 🤘👍. Cheers!
Yikes that is expensive. Nice video.
Absolutely right! Eastwood is definitely one of those companies that uses the motto "gotta pay to play".... hahahaha. I did enjoy the ease of use, nicely laid out instructions, and the Eastwood customer support that comes with the heafty price tag. Would I buy it somewhere else cheaper that doesn't have the "Eastwood" name? Heck yeah I would...lol. Wanted to tell ya that I also really appreciate you taking time to watch one of my videos!👍👍Cheers my friend!
Roll on …… just proof you don’t have a clue what you are doing
Well...there's a helpful comment. How about rather than spending your time trying to break down complete strangers on the internet for trying out different ways of doing things, you take some of your time, your efforts, your money, and your materials to put out a video of how to do it the "right way".....I'll watch and subscribe to your channel. Keep spreading that negativity there fella...I guess the world still needs people like that?....👍🤘🖕
