I like this young brother. I have been following his videos for a while with his rustoleum rattle can paint jobs he inspired me to paint my 98 Chevy obs, and it came out looking great. People think I had it done at the paint shop. I'm about to get a PT cruiser down the line , so this gives me some good ideas. Thanks for this video.
It's impossible to get tired of these videos!! This came out looking very clean! You usually say that it's not a show car quality but obviously you don't know your own amazing skills my friend. Would love to see a video or series from you where you pull off a show quality build. There's no doubt in my mind you could pull off something legendary. 😃
Thanks for sharing. I have a question: Do you think using the same paint, hardener, and thinner along with a roller brush and “flood penetrol” brush and roller mark reducer will work as well to limit orange peel?
Not sure but I do know the more money you spend on these airless sprayer systems the nicer the spray patterns and results. This one was like $50 and it did okay but sadly the cheaper one from harbor freight did better I think. Either way I’m not mad because it came out pretty good
Always looked the shape of these, plus the secret srt4 version is a plus lol, definitely a classic car from our time overlooked by many, hhr has nothing on the pt cruiser
Tip for next time the paint need to be like water . If you want an nice flat paint . Some body who paint planes told me about it. Text it on small project so you can find wright ratio . 😉🤪
rustoleum spray cans don't orange peel. That is how it needs to spray. Just like plastic dip simple 😉🤓🥸🧐. God bless you and your family keep doing these nice contents .
@@poemnel13 yes the orange peel from spray cans are so minimal and this gun has a super small tip so in order to use the tractor paint I would need a primer gun with thicker flow tip. The thinner the better is right when it comes to small tips. I prefer spraying thicker because less coats but with the proper tip of course lol
I have always wanted to see them looking a bit more like old school. Wider body and lower rooflines. I may not be able to do all of it myself, but if I can find one cheap enough. It’s the look that needs doing so even one with a clapped out engine is okay.
I prefer different spray methods depending on the color, car, and mood I’m in lol. Spray can has been my go to for the longest time but it is fun playing with the different spray methods.
I know this is off topic but do you happen to know the ring gaps you used for the d16 high compression build. im having my block bored to 75.5 and did you use oem valves or flat valves thanks man keep up the videos.
Oh dang that was years ago. I can’t remember but i did them looser than stock specs but not quite turbo specs. In between them both lol I think it was in my videos on this channel but can’t remember
It’s called Majic paint from tractor supply. My other video where I did the civic has more info on the paint. I forgot to put all that info in this video my bad.
Would the amount of reducer impact the orange peel? The thinner the paint the less chances of orange peel, but more layers will be needed for coverage?
Hi good night a question want paint white matte blue color my truck is blue needs put primer or can I paint direct is same color only want put blue matte
That turned out pretty good, I'm not sure about how much the gun had to do with that, I think it might have had more to do with your skills...but still!
You can wet sand the grey with 1000 grit with soapy water then step up to 2000 grit until it’s smooth you can then use a matte clear but without me trying it I don’t know for 100% fact it will work.
Like I said b4 never really was a fan of the pt but its turning out great. And kinda growing on me as far as rat rod potential. May not be of interest for u on here but maybe your truck. Check out the headlight retrofit video I did. I think it might would look cool on the pt with some demon eyes
@@JamesDguy yeah understandable. I like them better then the ones that u can get on ebay. The retrofit just look better to me then all the extra crap that's added Into the after market ones. Still have the stock look with a little extra added.
@@GlassWerx My problem is I can’t stand the projector style the visibility has always been terrible in vehicles i had them round projectors in. For me just a LED bulb and it’s good to go haha. To each their own though. I’ll give it a view now.
@@JamesDguy with a good hid setup and right temp bulb like 6500k and proper focusing iv found them be just as good as the leds. I have led in everything until now. This the only one I don't and was mainly to try something new. The one thing I don't like about projectors so much is the light output on oncoming traffic. So many people don't adjust them right and they are blinding and dangerous
Great video! Really love these budget-minded DIYs! In your experience, does the hardener add a bit of gloss making it a little closer to satin? If you added the hardener to an already satin paint do you think it would be too close to gloss? Thanks!
Hi James, just subscribed! I plan on spraying my s10 truck with the Majik stuff. I was wondering and it’s something that has me concerned is that Majik tells you to wait 24 hours before applying and subsequent coats. I noticed you only waited an hour or two before applying the second coat. Any issues with trapped solvent or popping? Thanks is man and I’m a big fan of yours, you have a great attitude!
Cheap, durable and it works so why not. I mentioned in the video i was testing it as a cheap way. Idk if you seen my other videos but I made a electric spray gun paint job with tractor paint video and after wet sanding and clear coating it came out looking like a professional job 👍🏻 I test different methods and ways to do stuff.
I don’t paint cars for the general public. It’s hard enough to paint my own cars as I don’t have a place to do it all the time. I was blessed to be able to use the paint booth to do my truck and pt cruiser. The body shop info in description can take care of you though.

Looking good as always! Talent
Thank you 🙏🏻
Looks awesome man! Can't wait to see the scallops on it!
Yea same here!
I have been wanting to get one and do similar stuff lol. Love the videos
@@rickmitschelen2212 Thanks 🙏🏻 im doing the OOGGA horn next 😄
@@JamesDguy 😂😂 thats great!
Keep up the great work man! Always loved these PT Cruisers. I'd love to own a GT version one day
Yes the GT are pretty fast!

Would love to see a video or series from you where you pull off a show quality build. There's no doubt in my mind you could pull off something legendary. 😃
I would love to do that too. It just needs to be done in a shop I own so I don’t have to rush it
Oh man I took my driving test in my moms PT cruiser back in the day.
They ride good for sure just oober slow. (Unless it’s the GT model)
Dang dude. Actually looks sick. 👌
Thank you 🙏🏻
That look's amazing! Great work as always. We gotta get you shop so you can do your thing anytime you want. Keep up the amazing job. God bless 🙏
Yes sir im saving up all I can!
I'm late to the party but I really like it. The black and red combo looks sick. Makes me want one.
Happy new years!
Thanks 🙏🏻 I can’t wait till i get the red scallops on 😄
Great job
Thank you 🙏🏻
Wow don't know how I missed this video. But better late then never. Great job, Boss! I think the PT lends itself nicely to a Rat Rod vibe.
Thanks and yea people don’t get notified anymore for some reason.
Thanks for sharing. I have a question:
Do you think using the same paint, hardener, and thinner along with a roller brush and “flood penetrol” brush and roller mark reducer will work as well to limit orange peel?
Hey James it's David imel it's nice seeing you still doing what you love doing and I miss hanging out with you and Casey
Dang man been a few years but Casey is back in Kansas so you might run into him. Eventually we will be visiting and I’ll be sure to hit you up man.
That's turned out really well would love to see you do a chequered roof on it
I did think about it honestly but not sure if I’m going too on this.
Turned out pretty good I wonder how a pressure pot system would work you could rent at the hardware stores for that type of paint 🤔
Not sure but I do know the more money you spend on these airless sprayer systems the nicer the spray patterns and results. This one was like $50 and it did okay but sadly the cheaper one from harbor freight did better I think. Either way I’m not mad because it came out pretty good
Always looked the shape of these, plus the secret srt4 version is a plus lol, definitely a classic car from our time overlooked by many, hhr has nothing on the pt cruiser
I agree. I also found a PT cruiser turbo engine at the local junkyard which would be sick to swap in but I’m not looking for speed on this one.
That looks super orange pealed!
Looks really amazing
Great job bro,happy new year to you and your family and subscribers.hope 2022 be a better year🙏
Thank you and happy new year! God bless!

you should try the tool again for clear coat cuz its thin itll flow easy
Most amazing thing about that video the PT Cruiser actually made it to 40 miles per hour !
I have always said that car needed this! In the UK the CRUISER is considered a joke, I will get one soon and I have a few ideas for it!
They are a “joke” here too but honestly very comfortable cars not gonna lie.
I'm in the UK too and have loved the pt since the day they were released. I've driven a few but never owned one 😭
I have always wanted to see them looking a bit more like old school. Wider body and lower rooflines. I may not be able to do all of it myself, but if I can find one cheap enough. It’s the look that needs doing so even one with a clapped out engine is okay.
Not a fan of the PT myself. This one looks pretty good though.
Yea i wasn’t either until I got one. It drives awesome just super slow.
Do you prefer to spray from cans or the eletric paint sprayer from harbor freight? Or do you like this one better?
I prefer different spray methods depending on the color, car, and mood I’m in lol. Spray can has been my go to for the longest time but it is fun playing with the different spray methods.

Hi good night a question want paint white matte blue color my truck is blue needs put primer or can I paint direct is same color only want put blue matte
Oh shit.. I live in Killeen and I need my car painted 😳
Definitely hit them up bro!
🔥💪🏿
Thank you 🙏🏻
I liked the video ✌🏼
Thank you for that!
Looks good , yellow the head lights on it would look good
I thought about it honestly but not sure if i wanna do it yet
@@JamesDguy would really pop with that flat black
How long do you wait between coats? Majic says to wait 24 hrs.
Nice never knew you were in Killeen I'm in sa
I don’t live in Killeen i live 10 mins from Killeen. I don’t do bigger cities haha I got my Wife’s MDX from San Antonio
How much do you charge @@JamesDguy
That turned out pretty good, I'm not sure about how much the gun had to do with that, I think it might have had more to do with your skills...but still!
Thanks. The gun definitely didn’t spray like I hoped but I managed to salvage the situation. Next time more thinner and it would be fine I think.
I want to paint my car a matte color. I have already laid down 2 coats smoke Grey. I just want to somehow degloss the final coat any suggestions?
You can wet sand the grey with 1000 grit with soapy water then step up to 2000 grit until it’s smooth you can then use a matte clear but without me trying it I don’t know for 100% fact it will work.
@@JamesDguy thanks for the info what brand of clear do you recommend. The paint is rustoleum oil based.
@@gregshore7772 Speedokote clear it’s cheap and works great
You should k swap the PT. That would be cool!
Would be cool but not gonna do it. This is a cruiser not a racer. Very slow and smooth ride and it’s automatic so my wife can drive it
@@JamesDguy understandable! Happy new year!

Thanks man and to be honest I don’t like retrofit headlights but I’ll check it out.

Damn I’m about to do mine now
Texture look
Just curious… was the tractor paint a matte or semi gloss to start or did you use a flattening agent with a gloss paint ??
Great video! Really love these budget-minded DIYs! In your experience, does the hardener add a bit of gloss making it a little closer to satin? If you added the hardener to an already satin paint do you think it would be too close to gloss? Thanks!
you need to add paint thinner to help with your orange peel my guy. Might require more coats, but it will lay a lot better.
Супер! 😎👍✌💯
💪🏻
You have to buy the $400 + airless paint sprayers to get a good smooth finish.
Not true.
Just use some reducer and patience. (and back off that flow!)
I pull off a much better finish even with a cheap gun.
Where’s the link or description of paint/hardener/reducer used as I’d like to duplicate this exact paint scheme..???
Don't use their reducer, just use acetone. It works way better and is cheaper.

How much to paint my car?

I’m confused! When do you use primer ?
This is a crap paint job.
Don't do it this way unless you have to.
Up close that looked like shit!
Why do you use
Those crappy guns? That the reason you have so much peal
christ almighty these are bad paint jobs
Why are you watching then?
