How to paint your own car, part 2

[pellebjurman]

Lovely Paintjob in the Garden with the birds singing :)

[madmaxrules]

If I was your neighbour, I'd be screaming. The over spray blowing onto and into my house would drive me mad! Good on ya for having a go, but man, not in a backyard!

[lcplic]

@CaseyMcLaughalot And I agree, I just don't know so many are coming on here and talking smack about this dude's car, he knows what he is doing, and I am sure he knows what he is doing is by no means the correct way to paint a car.

[lcplic]

@CaseyMcLaughalot At 1:36 you can see the front clip, no lights, all one piece... Made for drag racing... PLUS, the car is not a show car...

[Mutubeish]

good for the enviroment! ! hehe =)

[victorthevector]

Good grief !

You really don`t have the vaguest idea how the real world operates.

The "bottom line "is the cost of producing (any ) product plus profits.

The chain of costs is the same.It applies to everything that sustains you ,from the shoes you put on your feet each day , to the food you stuff into YOUR ignorant mouth during breakfast , lunch , and dinner.

Time for a reality check dopey.

[victorthevector]

DDixon : You said : ( quote ) Painters are getting scared because people have realized a 10,000 paint job is only 250 dollars in material and the rest is the painters profit! ( quote)

That is simplistic and incorrect , to say the least.

Factor in the expenses of running a professional business : lease , tax , equipment , maintenance , depreciation , wages , advertising , insurance,

and you will quickly see how silly your comment really is.

[DawgcityClev]

@victorthevector actually who gives a shit that YOU are being gangraped by the powers that be to run your business. At the end of the day, a $4000 paint job is still around $300 bottom line. Which is why many people are driving around with DO It AT HOME paint jobs, and even lower budgeted Rustoleum jobs. Coming soon to a stop sign near you!

[victorthevector]

The reason a professional paint job is so expensive , many hours of prep. work is required. It is extremely labor intensive. Not everyone can afford this.

The car should really be disassembled as much as possible , after removal of any dents , small imperfections and so on.I have done a lot of this work , for many years.A good paint job will always cost serious money.

Having said that , good for you for giving it a go.Some excellent work has been done by non professionals.

[AskFlick]

I started painting my car. I posted some videos, Let me know what you think

[203809ct]

If this guy were my neighbor.I'

d give him a hand then when finished,I would whip out the grill a cooler full of beer then my car is next to paint.

[Twitchc0rp]

Theres Nothing Wrong With How He Painting His Car As Long As The Conditions Are Right Should Turn Out To Be A Flawless Job as long as he takes The Right Steps As I Have Been Painting Cars For Years Me Personally Would Use A Shed But Not All Of Us Are Blessed With that Not Only That It Good Practice For All You Haters Out There You Can Spend Your 10 odd grand To Paint Or For 250-500$ Can Get Same Results

[saimone1981]

The title should be How to NOT paint your car

[DDixon1000]

Painters are getting scared because people have realized a 10,000 paint job is only 250 dollars in material and the rest is the painters profit!

[afriamerikan]

lol.this is how NOT to paint your car

[Armand0008]

even though he breaks the rules he's still doing the job :]

[multiz007]

great set of vids. as to the haters, stick the sprayer up your ass and pull the trigger. many of us would rather do the job ourselves than have you "professionals" ream us up the ass with your high labor cost and low quality sh!t job

[srvforme]

someone ask why the hood scoop is not centered. goes to shaw how many hoodscoops are on cars just for the soul purpose of looking cool!!

[triedge1254212542]

should have coverd your rims are the coverd lol?

[insideout91ify]

nice



[sykeyall]

im not going to comment on the paint job i've done my truck outside and it turned out perfect but i gota ask y didnt you center your hood scoop and put bondo around the edge to blend it into the hood??

[habbousa01]

AHHH Polluting the environment!! XD

[MrGifted92]

YOU CANT POLISH A TURD!

[sahcornholio]

@MrGifted92 Yes you can... watch Mythbusters

[MrGifted92]

@sahcornholio yes you can polish a turd,but its still a piece of shit :)

[sahcornholio]

@MrGifted92 lol Too true

[youngpapi17]

@MrGifted92 yup u sure can ...watch the vid on mythbusters lol

[UnderMediKated]

You can do this if it's lacquer. You got to sand between coats but shit won't get in it..

[KevDude55]

Agreed with Geektar. Its terrible to paint a car like this, but ive seen some outside finishes that look great, it all depends on the skill of the painter really.

[b5150b2012]

@KevDude55 you will never get a great outside finish...u will get a glossy turd

[KevDude55]

@b5150b2012

My finish is fine, pained under an awning.

No wind, sprayed the whole area around with water. And went nuts.

Sure there is a few dirt particles here and there, but it sure looks better than before.

[b5150b2012]

@KevDude55 more power to u...but my idea of a good paint job surpass anything thats a factory or homemade....it all comes down to what u like

[ding0925]

Why would someone do this? are their lives so bad they have to embarass themselves on youtube like this?

[racoonpooon]

or he could of made a ghetto temporary paint booth. go to home depot get some 6 foot 2x4's, then cut some clear trash bags and tape them together. cake. add a fan so you dont die of fumes.

[foxleyleon]

@racoonpooon good idea.

[vulcan4]

YEEEEEEEAAAAHHH!! paint that ish outside...its gonna be a fly graveyard

[foxleyleon]

@vulcan4 lol . mean

[steemy2]

omg is this a drag civic crx??? I was gonna say why is that fiberglass front end so big! lol sweet job!

[geektar03]

Everyone know knows how to paint a car knows that painting a car outside is the worst possible way. First of all think of all the dirt that floats around... and yet he still continues to paint over it. This is a shitty way to paint your car.

[fordsucks2]

Not everyone has a paint booth or has access to one. He'll just have to sand the entire car after shooting the topcoat.

[petercrouch592]

what a fucking wanker

[JRHe90]

LoL no good at all

[mazdaabe]

your video sucks

[supersweatsack]

wat is that? a honda civic or somthing? WOG MOBEAL

[someusernamedtuber]

its a crx you idiot

[mrhobbz]

Man that cheap 3M powered hood scoop sure is dead center isn't it...

[viper11470]

man ive died laughing at the scoop there has to be a reason he did that

[TheSelfIndulgence]

does any one know hw much paint guns cost? in the uk..

[sandysandy9911]

anything from £15 upwards, try screwfix if your just loking for a cheap one but if your looking for sumtin better thet go to a specialised place

[jamii192]

you dont want a cheap one, they will only work properly for about one time, proper good ones are about £300 upwards

[2xchrome]

Paint over your googles. So you don't have to look at the shitty paint job or the shitty car!

[MattMisGOD]

Is there a reason you keep your gun 2 inches away from the substrate?

[iidanny11]

Lol at all these people who think they can judge.

The only people here that can say anything- are those who are Professional Automotive Sprayers.

I bet half of you people have painted one panel of your friends car, and now you think your top stuff.

Give this guy a break, and get off your pedestals.

In the end, its his car after all- is it not?

Dan.

[yoshipipe]

totally agree with you, but i bet you most of these people havent even touch a spray gun before, spray bomb at the most...

[Tomek016PL]

I agree! I work in auto body and I tried ones and it was really hard but I'm still painting my whole car next week :) and thats why I'm watching this video so I can learn some of the stuff. Maybe I take a video so u guys can see what I did to my Lancer OZ Rally 03. After its finished I will probably sell it for like $3,000

[TheIncredibleMrOz]

@iidanny11 i agree 100%.. however im an ASE certified professional and this guy is fucking up this car..

[freestyla101]

@TheIncredibleMrOz how is he fucking it up? i mean its his car, maybe he likes it that way. who are you to judge

[forbzy61]

@iidanny11 ya dan, you tell em how it is ;)

[panhead1219]

Airless compressors?  DAMN those are annoying!

And this fool is a joke I bet Earl Shibe took lessons from this idiot!

[yoshipipe]

whos talking about an air less?

[Cabinetmaker09]

Does not look like you even sanded before you put that primer on. Bet it looks bad.

[thisduderockz]

i see you have the mask on protecting yourself from inhaling the toxic fumes... how about protecting the earth too, by using a real booth? lol

[DullahanVII]

Most booths have an exhaust fan that sucks the fumes outside anyways.

[thisduderockz]

but its filtered...

[vance123456]

WTF is going on with that "body kit"?!!! Your dad is like: "don't paint my damn grass boy"!!!!

[airmaxonezzzz]

kinda dumb to put a light grey primer on it first you should go for a darker colour like black or dark grey then red comes out more nicely..and more pressure so you can paint faster.

[Templarzealot89]

if you watched his earlier video you would see its supposed to be hunter orange so this base coat is correct in my opinion

[cavibird2005]

Fuck painting the door sills, ha?

[sk8rxpbdude]

1. why are you painting your car outside?

2. why are you sprayin so close to the car?

3. why on grass of all things?

4. why with half the car in the sun?

i can only imagine how the end result is going to look. paint runs. dirt and water in the paint. half prob dried faster than the other half cause of the sun. see ive seen people paint their cars in random garages. but atleast they plastic wrapped the whole thing and cleaned the hell out of it. but this WTF!!!!!!!

[bigwillakingkilla]

you can do it like that but it all really depends on the sanding and primer your base,.... but your are half right about sun dirt and all that,...... only half right

[sk8rxpbdude]

ya im not much of a guy who can paint. im better with engines and really any mechanical work. but this is something i do know. for the best results the area around has to be very clean and closed off. not dirt dust or anything should be there

[bigwillakingkilla]

yeah dirt and moisture kill paint jobs nasty style i did paint applications in my 92 grand-ma Sport dition coupe and i didnt dry the dash and center concole good nuff so i had to sand it and do it all over again

[b5150b2012]

@sk8rxpbdude not to mention the orange peel texture thats its going to have after baking it in the sun

[lcplic]

@sk8rxpbdude This car appears to be strictly for drag racing, so the finish does not have to be perfect. This is not uncommon at all.

[sk8rxpbdude]

@lcplic but still. if your going to pour tons of money into building the car why not make it look nice. im not trying to knock the guy for painting. i cant paint for shit to tell you the truth. but i just dont get why out side

[BjJenkins34]

This blows my college certification out the window! Hmm.....maybe the earth worms won't grow with 2 heads around there. Hope he has grinder for the paint runs....geez!

[jaydani1]

good job man. Real painters paint anywhere , the booth, garage, outside , with paint guns , spray cans,maybe a hose and windex bottle, it don't matter just as the finish looks good

[1upinya]

good idea wonder if he had put water on the ground...

[1LSUredneck]

I gonna wear a mask to protect my lungs...Fuck the ozone, my lungs are more important. And yeah, when he's going down the track, you could think he could go faster if he didn't have 50 pounds of dirt, leaves, grass and bird shit in his paint.

[mustangstomper]

this dudes retarded but i'll admit he took on a challenge and it looks like he was practicing I bet there is a shitload of runs in this car because he was painting slowly and extreamly clos. try using more coats next time and it will come out much better

[hcollette]

Bit surprised with your vid.

Usually painting is done top to bottom : A good distance between car and spray gun is usually kept, you seem very close, did the paint run? :

You never start or end spraying on the car itself to avoid surplus of paint : Finally I suppose you must have some insects burried in your paint by now. Best to paint at home is to use a garage and wet the floor first to avoid any dust flying

[javiersitosmata]

GREAT ADVISE :)

[mayhemlee]

this is the "how not to paint your car video", they are gonna upload the "how to paint your car" video later....

[hcollette]

This is not what the title says. Hence people 'advising'

[detroitbluesguy]

My kinda people..use a fine roller the next time and save the planet..acrylic enamel with med reducer to allow the paint to level works well..and put in a can of hardener to lock in a gloss.JC

[DANcantSHUFFLE]

niiicee =)

[danimieghem]

Way too close with the spray gun !

And try it in a closed garage to prevent dust from flying in.

A compressor with a larger buffer barrel would be nice, too, if you want a good result

[Maximusdragon]

good ideas.

he should also start from top.

and go inside garage for the ozone=D

[rcpro17]

your primer and paint doesnt clash.

[bigmudder44]

its just a drag car its not a big deal if its perfect

[JgHaverty]

wtf... why is he painting outside??

are you supposed to paint bottom to top?

[shelbydigital]

all the bugs and flies on the paint :S

[StickFyst08]

How Long Does It Take The primer/sealer to dry

[mostwtd]

but still good job

[mostwtd]

u should of put black primer so u culd see the true color it brings it out

[obscenesAINT]

bare metal rusts doofus.

[x5t0rMx]

bet the people next door liked the over sprey lol it fogs out from the bag of our shop hahaha

[darkskiesahead]

they way he is releasing and pressing the trigger makes me think that there would be built up spots of paint all over that car....

No need to press and release with the right hand, much faster as well.

[Sterling0011]

arent u worried about bugs and dust?

[foxybrown2]

I have done a couple of cars outside, and believe it or not I really did not get many bugs I think that I got 2 bugs that I quickly removed.

[rolficus]

this is cool unless it rains you should get a roof over your booth

[JimmyD572]

Hey....I know this guy. This car is a race car.....NOT A SHOW CAR!!!! When this car is covered with stickers and go's down the track in 10 secs.......You will be talking about how fast it is.....not about the paint Jimmy D.

[youngthugndom]

you're spraying way too close, its gonna run

[tbirdpimp07]

is that a rag on ur gun lol did ya lose the top or was it just leaking? i hate it when old guns do that

[SpeedSceneLiveTV]

Its PPG, good paint. The trick is to lay it on heavy enough so that it flows, but not too heavy that it run's. Its kind of a fine line.

[JUNIORMICH]

what kind of gun is that? is looks like it sprays really good.
