  • It's finally happening, the last video of this rebuild is here... I'll get all the panels of the truck prepped and painted. And I'll be thorough as usual in the description of the process as I'll take you through the paint job step by step. Auto paint isn't all that complicated, but there is a definite set of rules that has to be followed in order to achieve that nice, good looking, factory like finish that will last for years to come. As usual it's a 3 step process where I'll be laying down some sealer, base coat and clear coat.

    Here's a tip on pouring paint from a can. If you put masking tape over the seal in the tin, it stops the paint getting into the seal. I picked that up on Junkyard Dave's channel.

      I would have to agree with you on that, I feel that at home I'm not being rushed and can really take my time and that intern yields better end result !

    As someone who has painted 3 cars in their driveway, you certainly can get a booth quality paint job. One thing I did was wait for a day after it had rained, to keep dust down and flying insects at home.

    Just found this channel. I grew up in my dads body shops. You do good work and it’s obvious, you don’t cut corners. That little bit of orange peel probably matches the oem finish perfectly. The first of your videos that I came across was the new compressor build. I’m impressed by the way you think like an engineer. I subscribed and look forward to more.

    • @fix206
      @fix206  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Appreciate the comment Jacob. I always try to excel at anything that I do. Learning from my mistakes and try to do better next time around. A bit of orange peel isn't really all that noticeable, I just notice it more because I know I could've achieved a better, flatter finish if the air compressor did not partially quit on me.

    Great to see a new video, I've been waiting patiently for you to upload again. The truck turned out great. I sure hope you have the time to continue making and uploading videos regularly. You always have interesting and informative videos.

    • @fix206
      @fix206  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you Bruce, to be a content creator is a bit of a lifestyle. You definitely have to make a lot of sacrifices to keep the channel going to upload regularly. That means no TV in the evening. You basically work during the day doing your regular stuff and then in the evening you get behind a computer and edit until it's time to go to bed. I kind of got away from that over the course of last year, caught up on some movies and watched a few series... But I also spend a ton of time researching topics that fascinate me. And in the process I gather up knowledge that I will be using in my future videos. I got some really cool ideas that I'm looking forward to bringing to fruition. And I'm top of that I constantly kick myself in the butt for filming a lot of interesting videos but I'm not putting in the time to get them out to you guys. So basically have to make some lifestyle changes because I want the channel to grow and it will not succeed unless I put in the work and time.

    • @fix206
      @fix206  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks man, there is actually a science to not getting bugs in your paint. Especially in the summer when majority of the bugs are out, you want to paint earlier in the day, preferably in the morning before it gets really warm and bugs generally like to come out in greater numbers in the evening

    • @Randazler

      I had a guy that hit a palm tree in his yard side swiping the bed. It turned out to be a bigger project then expected and 1130 pm that night the light had attracted moths and mosquitoes swirling around. He wanted to get it done so we sprayed it with clear which served as fly paper to the swarm. He said it was fine lol.

    upol primer can be used as sealer as well. helps not having to buy more material. TDS says mix ratio for sealer is 4:1:2. i like to add a little extra reducer to smoothen things out

    • @fix206
      @fix206  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That is true, but another thing that I like about the brand of sealer that I use is the fact that it comes in three different colors and I can mix those colors amongst themselves to get it closer to the shade of the color that I will be painting thus requiring less coats of paint and better coverage

    I mask all wheel wells, light cavities, receiver hitchs. I do so because seeing over spray says it is bottom budget work. Masking those areas also helps contain the dirt and all of those area are ideal dirt pockets that never get fully cleaned.

    • @fix206

      I did tape the front wheel well off completely, you can tell in some shots...wheel liner was pulled out of the rear wheel well, and I washed all of the dirt out of there while wet sanding. Tail light opening also got washed out, and all of the wiring got covered with a plastic bag. I did paint the fuel door, cause If I didn't it would stand out, I just rewatched that part of the video and it does kind of stand out by looking lighter, I think sometimes camera will pickup certain things better then human eye, because I can't see the difference in person ... Video was getting waaay too long so I started to trim a lot of the fat, that's why a lot of these details didn't make it into the vid...

    • @fix206

      There's definitely a lot more area to cover with a mobile home therefore I'm pretty sure that the sprayer that you used had much larger orifice that would result in larger droplet size for overspray therefore that stuff took longer to dry as it got carried away from your work area and a lot of that undried material settled down on neighbors trailers/cars and I'm sure those people were not happy :-)

    Your videos are top-notch quality & extremely informative for someone looking to get into rebuilding vehicles. Can you explain what you do about the title process? I assume you're in the States. Do you do more than 5 rebuilds a year? Or are you operating as a dealer?

    • @fix206

      I am in the states, every state will have different rules and regulations when it comes to this sort of thing. In my state I can legally sell up to four cars a year without having to get dealers license. I don't go through enough cars to meet that quota. But if I was buying, rebuilding and selling them like crazy then in theory I can also start putting these cars into my wife's name, mom's/dads name and also into your kids names as long as they are over 18 years of age. This way you personally don't go over the limit...

  • @spinnetti
    @spinnetti 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I like wet sanding from a bucket with some dish soap. cuts smoother and easier and paper lasts longer. Doing the sealer, you look mighty close. I thought the distance was supposed to be further away? I've only shot single stage but looks like you can throw that on like primer? Single stage I was taught to never stop mid-panel and keep the pattern perpendicular to the surface. Looks great though. That foam tape idea was new to me - that's cool. I used to just tape down with only half the tape width then bend the other half back which gave a similar "fade".

    • @fix206
      @fix206  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can vary the distance from the gun to the panel depending on your air pressure. Just try different things at different pressures and see what works best for you...
