- Follow along as my now wife and I paint my 1967 Mustang before our wedding day. A lot of inperfections and we rushed to meet our wedding date, but I’m so proud that we were able to do this together and the imperfections mean more then perfection since we did it! For a previous video on paint setup check it out. Thanks everyone for the awesome support this far stay tuned, as always please share useful information in the comments below and take it easy on me.
Wow, people are acting like their first paint jobs were perfect and everything they do is always perfect their first try. I've learned a lot about painting over the years because I've made a lot of mistakes. It's actually good because now when I make a mistake I don't sweat it because I know how to fix it. lol Just got to get in there and keep doing it. Good job and good to see your other half taking an interest in it too. Very cool.
great job. its protected, its a solid color, and its decent paint/shine. Great job!!
Not sure why you are getting some of these hateful comments. It’s like they didn’t even watch the video lol.
Dude, idk, after seeing it in the sun... That looks good af. I hope mine comes out half as nice! I actually do like the color! It looks amazing in the sun! Nice work!
That's how it was for me. My first time. Ran into many issues and was nervous about it. Now, looking back I know I made a lot of mistakes. The temperature for the shot for the day was too hot. 90 degree dry day. Had a lot of overspray. I try preventing water in the line and still water got in. 30 gallons compressor could not keep up. Bugs for the year was bad, that is why I waited till summer. Should have waited till Early Fall. I was fighting bug and spray gun.. and I have a good quality gun. Devilbliss.. dialing in the speed and flow of the paint is very important. Paint would flash before it hit the car and psi was too high. Every little things count. Looking back I should have practice more on test panel fender or door. Maybe a little less hardener too. I ran into almost all the problems with spray painting. But it was fun doing it.
Looks like she had fun.... keep up the good work
A great learning experience for your first time out painting an entire car. The final paint job suffers due to the lack of complete prep and bodywork ... numerous divots, dings, and flaws in the substrate. A classic car can take a lot of time to primer, block sand and primer and block sand until you get it smooth. The basecoat application looks dry in some areas, not sure the reducer matched the temperaturs in the garage. The cleared finish looks rought in spots. Cut and buffing may help but some parts of the car look like they might have needed more paint. I had a 1967 Mustang just like this one, it was a great car. Lots of fun, though mine looked way worse that this one did originally. Keep at it, Austin. Learn from your experiences and push forward! Great first time out.
Nice! It'll clean up with a little work. Im glad i know about the red because that's the color i was going to go with on my 70 Corvette, the molten red. I still think it looks great though idk i might still go with it. Nice work!
The Stang is looking on good man 😮
Don't sweat the negative comments. Your wife did a great job ! For a beginner I would of gone with a basic single stage basic paint with clear.
Not too shabby
A tough paint choice for first paint job….id have just gone for a solid red or something it would have been less technical and covered imperfections better. To me Mustangs just need to be red anyway.
Some people don't realize the prep work that goes into doing what you did. Most wouldn't have the courage to take on what you did with this paint job. Hats off to you. I remember the first time I painted and entire car in my garage in the middle of winter. Here is what it looked like doing my last spray of clear coat.
Always paint early before sun comes up
Eh, after some wet sanding and polishing it will be good because of all the orange peel I can see on the hood. But wherever that spot was that you said looks good did look really good. I will say that it was brave of you to use a metallic paint if you have no experience but it looks good. The metallic looks like it was distributed evenly, not too heavy or light in some spots.
That's not good at all. sorry.
Do trunks and hoods front to back never side to side
I give a d for effort
Congrats on doing it yourself but you're gonna spend a week wet sanding and buffing all the imperfections out. The results should be amazing though.
They say if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
