hey WES, should have had the time to test spray a few panels on scrap this way you could have gotten a bettter idea of the color, think there was a base undercoat lighter that uyou failed to apply test shoot some panels amd match in sun
Red is one of the hardest to blend. I've heard but not sure, that today's paint needs to be mixed to the exact of factory's specs. But was the 60k Ram 2500 really totaled? I see vehicles as im a tow operator be totaled because airbags so expensive so on. Buy back is ridiculous high
Hey buddy the Vin will give you the same code that the sticker on the door pr4 is a very old paint code for Chrysler seal it white then it will match it is the right paint code pr4 red is easy to blend been a painter for 26 years
Just a little advice on these colors. Especially with red and blue. They are somewhat "transparent". Meaning the primer color that you spray the red over has a lot to do with how light or dark it will be. Also the pressure you are spraying at has a lot to do with it. Higher preasure, lighter coats. Lower pressure, darker coats. Give it another shot! Good luck!
I was impressed with the way you handled the mismatched paint situation. You were cool, calm, collected and said we can fix it. Me, my comments would have been a 2 minute bleep process, unprintable. I like how you roll with the situation. I need to learn from that. As they say, no sense getting your shorts in a wad, if it can't be fixed there and then. Take your time. Weston, I know you will get it right. You are methodical. More videos please.
Love your positivity Weston! Your saying "Nothing to it just to do it!" is my favorite new saying and it's already helped me stay motivated finish my house addition and remodel.
Excellent job on the paint, it was great too that the guys at Napa were understanding and willing to work through it with you, other than the blend issue the paint looks like factory quality, can’t wait to see it finished!
2 things: 1: dont forget the matte black strip on the b pillar! 2: is it possible that was the right color, but the primer was too dark with too thin a coat of paint?
Western I love the positivity in all your videos. I always try to keep a positive attitude whether it’s working on my own stuff or stuff at work (I’m a diesel tech). I found there is no reason to get angry. It only makes things worse.
You definitely seem like you're the type of guy that enjoys life and always turns things into a positive really enjoy watching the channel I hope next video the truck looks the same color not the same two different colors the same color as one
The only issue with using light colored primers is paint consumption Would use a lot more paint to cover And also if the Color is off that bad then it’s not the primers fault They should have went to go get it matched and then blended it
Not in a TH-cam commercial society. Cletus McFarland messed up the distributor on that Camaro big block, the timing went way off and stripped the teeth. It bent the valve's, he got "free" replacement head's. Then the engine (probably) had a damaged piston rings, and completely blew in Australia. They gave him a "free" complete engine! All from his original mistake.
@@simonmilburn8336 he did pay for it but only because he beat Blueprint to it they were trying to get him the motor as a replacement though so he might have been reimbursed for it
Westen I think it looks good. As a good friend used to say, "Looks good from the back of a galloping horse!" Gotta love your positive attitude. I have the upmost confidence that you can make er look right.
Matching paint is a lot harder than people realize. For one thing they don't sell faded paint. The truck probably faded more than you realize. Even though the truck is relatively new it has still faded some. Glad to see your Napa guys are working with you. I own a Napa store and it's tough but we run in to similar problems. Have fun finishing the truck.
I love the Cummins engines. Especially the old 12v engines. I have one for my 64 International I'm building. I love your channel and all of the builds. I've been watching a while. Just subscribed! Keep up the good work.
Yep, they'd use different types of primer depending on the final color, so for bright colors its going to be white or light grey and for dark colors its going to be dark grey or black. Makes for less paint needed to cover the primer Edit: Actually you can see the original primer at 10:18 on the body when they are putting the fender on
Holy shit when I first found this channel months ago with the first Peterbilt video to blow up like it has now on news media and even on trending. Good job to everyone who is on the channel because it's easily been my most entertaining channel I have seen in years.
Man, your attitude is just the best!! If that was me, I'd probably be getting ready to burn the garage down!! Another awesome video, you guys are so good!! 👍🏻👍🏻
You did a beautiful paint job on your parts. I actually did the same thing last year. My Ram was hit by a car while I was shopping in Walmart and I purchased a new fender online and did the same thing. Paint and assembly by myself. Your paint job came out looking wonderful 👍🏾👏🏾.
You make me howl with laughter your mad and always so positive we’ll done I would have been so pissed at that going to the paint shop saying you sold me the wrong bloody pant!!!!!! Well done lol
Take your time when redooing it, and remove the windowtrim, much nicer finish in the long rung, no flacking of paint and so on,,,, it is a new car, treat it that way 😉
The way to avoid this is paint a piece of metal and let it dry see if it matches before you move forward takes about 1hr more saves massive amounts of time
Nice paint job westen on the upside of your colour dilemma the colour you sprayed looks like it matches you GW hat pretty closely Ain’t nothin to it just to do it Thanks for all your hard work and videos fellas 👍👍👍👍👍

1. I keep seeing comments that we should have got the paint code for the truck off the vin. We did..
hey WES, should have had the time to test spray a few panels on scrap this way you could have gotten a bettter idea of the color, think there was a base undercoat lighter that uyou failed to apply test shoot some panels amd match in sun
Sometimes paint just comes out like that and red is the hardest color to blend and match up!
It gives it that nice 2 tone look LOL

"You know what fail means? First Attempt In Learning."
Wise words from Westen!
I like that!
"Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted."
His name is Westen.
They always used to say that in my elementary school

It's awesome how Westen always has a great attitude about things no matter what
Yes agreed!
This "Mistake" just means more contint.........
Barrett Goodfellow , he’s a better man then me.
What will make him a TH-cam success! 👍
The darker red looks better just paint the whole truck the darker red.
Garrett r ,sounds good 👍🏻
Garrett r I so agree

I love how optimistic Westin is. Most people would feel like waylon but he's so uplifting, it's inspiring
Waylon is just not that much of a bullshiter that's all. He's a good dude.

ive found myself using it too
I use it alot now for various things that need done house work or project vehicles ect it's a great motivation to work and be happy
Can't wait to buy a t shirt with that slogan on it.

“Unstringed Down”... I always learn so many new cool words and phrases when I watch Westen and Waylon!
Westen, I think you did a damn fine job!
@floatpool pool 😂
I actually like the darker red, repaint the whole truck! 😂
I agree!
Yes it’s a better color
same here darker much better
Same
Totally agree
2 things:
1: dont forget the matte black strip on the b pillar!
2: is it possible that was the right color, but the primer was too dark with too thin a coat of paint?
Chris O no that’s not a possibility
No because they painted the door that was white after just scuffing the white paint.
Believe the strips are vinyl, they are removable or they could try and find one.
@@ixionn563 Yes they are indeed vinyl, i've got a 2012 1500 in the same color.
primer? I suggested in last video he needs to sand and prime.
That's definitely one of those "well shit" moments!
no.. awwwww SHOOOT!!!
Western I love the positivity in all your videos. I always try to keep a positive attitude whether it’s working on my own stuff or stuff at work (I’m a diesel tech). I found there is no reason to get angry. It only makes things worse.
Waylon got roasted so bad for smoking cigs in the last few videos I see hes back to dip now lol
Poor Waylon, he really needs some 'mother love'!
You definitely seem like you're the type of guy that enjoys life and always turns things into a positive really enjoy watching the channel I hope next video the truck looks the same color not the same two different colors the same color as one
Paint the rest of the truck really digging that dark red
Heck yah I love that blood red
“It’s not a big deal Waylon” title of video, “ we have a HUGE problem” 😂
That's called click bate mate!
Dont blend, just repaint the door and fender.
Awesome vids guys.
Darker primer makes for a darker color in my experience
That makes sence, maybe he should have primed in white.
Be interested to see what the old guard is primed in
Exactly. White primer probably would have made it match.
Bingo.
The only issue with using light colored primers is paint consumption
Would use a lot more paint to cover
And also if the Color is off that bad then it’s not the primers fault
They should have went to go get it matched and then blended it
Great paint job and nice video!
“Napa know how”🤣🤣🤣🤣
"free paint' means oops we farked up, and gave you the wrong shade

@@RJ_Cormac i thought cleetus paid for the replacement out here in Oz. Anways it still a stuff up on The suppliers in this one.

There is no blending. That can’t be done.
Westen I think it looks good. As a good friend used to say, "Looks good from the back of a galloping horse!"
Gotta love your positive attitude. I have the upmost confidence that you can make er look right.
I guess NAPA doesn’t know how
Westen, for future reference, if you remove the tape and stuff while the paint is still a little wet it'll come off easier and with cleaner edges.
They gave you “Radio Flyer Red” 😂

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
sand down a spot on the old door, i would almost guarantee that the primer used at factory is white or light grey, and there in lays your problem
You know that's a great point. I didn't even think of that
This is accurate. Likely white or light grey. Same thing happened to me the first time I used red paint.
Was just looking to se if someone wrote that 😂 black Base = dark colour
I'm no painter, but that does make sense. If you look at the original color on the rear door it is much lighter, so possibly a white primer.
Yep, they'd use different types of primer depending on the final color, so for bright colors its going to be white or light grey and for dark colors its going to be dark grey or black. Makes for less paint needed to cover the primer

Forget SEMA I am so glad your still in your backyard shop. I will keep watching.
Westen on camera “it’s fine we can fix it”
Westen off camera “dammit Cletus this is all your fault!”
Just spray the rest of the truck to match the door! 😆
Kid falling was the funniest thing I've seen in a while
I bet your good and fun attitude about the paint being off is what got you that quart.
Can’t wait to see more of the truck
“Ain’t nothin to it, just to fix it” - I need to live my life this way! Haha
Sweet Jesus. My wife was walking by and caught one glimpse at Dalton's mullet and she filed for divorce!!! Thanks a whole lot, Westen!!!! ;-)
I just keep seeing your channel grow and it’s great. Love seeing these vids. Wish I could do it myself
Man, your attitude is just the best!! If that was me, I'd probably be getting ready to burn the garage down!! Another awesome video, you guys are so good!! 👍🏻👍🏻
That looks like the wrong color, not just a variation.
The first “I don’t even think you can blend that” 😂😂
we can just buff it out.
Western my man you are Mr. Positive, nothing in this world will put you down. I love watching your videos.
i like the new shade of red more, actually...
" greasefitting49 " ... what a name .. I love it
Its a shame we dont see more of Dom but I can imagine with all his modelling work, hes a man with little time.

I like how personal he took it...even though it wasn't his fault! And you...for keeping it positive!
I like when Dalton trips, slips or what ever the heel he did, then stands up, looks around and is like it's all good.
@01:30 "Whenever there's a piano to be moved, there's always a person who grabs the stool"
Hi from the UK like watching your channel. You doing a great job 😂
For such a messy shop the boys got skills! Must be nice having space for all the projects
Next time pre paint something for comparison. Lesson learned.👍
Well bloody good idea that, you should get a like from Western
That's the painter's magic trick.
Dummy's 🤣
test panels on scarp gooonzsquads do it all Tet time
That mullet is FANTASTIC! IT brings a tear to my eye....... hell yes!

You've got a great attitude man. You'll get her fixed. Damn nice truck.
Westen I love how you expertly cataloged that roll of duct tape
Ive been waiting on this for forever!!!
Hi Westen, I appreciate your positive attitude, everything is fixable... well sort of 😉
I like that “truck looks fine, on the side I didn’t paint”
Westen you channel is my favorite budy! Keep up the great work!!! Would love to see more of the chevy square body without a motor!
I love how you see the positive in it all Westieee boiii
Great attitude man. Love your projects
Westen you are the man!!!! have a blessed day and keep the Vlogs coming brother!!!
You make me howl with laughter your mad and always so positive we’ll done I would have been so pissed at that going to the paint shop saying you sold me the wrong bloody pant!!!!!! Well done lol
Honestly Westen, despite the color, y'all did a great job painting it! Coulda told me it was a professional job and I woulda believed it no question!
It's the primer like stated in a comment down lower, the darker the color you need a light primer and vise versa. Keep up the great videos Westen!
Solution: Paint the whole truck the same color.
Freaking might as well. It looks professionally done. Just pick a color and go for it.
I loved to see Waylon's reaction, that was hilarious 😂😂
Don't feel bad, guys. Matching old and new paint is tricky and even professionals make mistakes.

I heard that, my mind decided to correct it to 'in'
I thought he said fatal, which actually makes more sense.
I love your optimism.
Dude red is a pain in the ass to match exactly. Love the videos keep up the good work man!
Bro. I love watching your videos on this truck. And I think the paint job looks really nice
Man, I wish I could have this truck!! It's so nice!!! You did an awesome job on it, man!
I love this channel! You should have a tv show ... good humor ...
Take your time when redooing it, and remove the windowtrim, much nicer finish in the long rung, no flacking of paint and so on,,,, it is a new car, treat it that way 😉
How yall kept a strait face once you realized is amazing. It is a good paint job.
Great job on the truck. Really beautiful truck and love all your videos.
You used a dark primer that caused the red to come outdarker.
Another coat should save it
Yep i used 2 primer colors under dark hunter green and could see the difference
Yeah, he should of done at least 4 coats with that primer, or he should of just done a grey primer
he did use grey primer
@jerk hall lol
Uh boys, y’all are going to have to start all over, I mean re-wreck it and start over 🤞🏻😉
Well... at least you get to get more painting practicing in!!! 🔥👌🏼
so far your doing a good job with this truck. but I also cant wait too see the Peterbilt finished as well
The way to avoid this is paint a piece of metal and let it dry see if it matches before you move forward takes about 1hr more saves massive amounts of time
“The back of the door really don’t have to match it just gotta be kinda red” 🤣😂🤣 “The further away I get the worse it gets” 😂🤣
I COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING WHEN YALL STEPPED BACK TO LOOK AT YALL WORK 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
what a bummer ......................but I like your attitude...........good job on the repair Westen. The paint issue was just one of those things.
The only blend that will work is when Weston is standing between the panels 😀
LOL!! I see you're giving Waylon some ammunition.
So that's Dalton, figured he'd be taller.
And you paint pretty good for a blind white boy!
Opinions very
This comment needs more recognition.
Time for a haircut.
Time for a professional hair cut.
Nice paint job westen on the upside of your colour dilemma the colour you sprayed looks like it matches you GW hat pretty closely
Ain’t nothin to it just to do it
Thanks for all your hard work and videos fellas 👍👍👍👍👍
Honestly I really like the new red color. She’d be a sweet ride in that shade of red. You guys will have it doctored up no problem I’m sure.
**THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T USE "NAPA" for an Automotive Paint Source!**
**THIS TIME USE SOME COLOR SAMPLES TO TEST YOUR COLOR MATCH WITH!**
I don't even use NAPA for parts or tools their overpriced, cheap junk and when they break they give you a hard time about it.
@@officialyoutubecommentator4357 in his defense, he took the door with him
