It came out awesome 👍

Self etching primer is usually zinc phosphate (phosphoric acid) based but there's a big quality jump between the Home Depot Rustoleum Self Etch and the Seymour or other pro grade self etches. Epoxy, just regular epoxy primer, does not have zinc phosphate in it unless specified as a ZINC epoxy primer and that stuff is EXPENSIVE you won't end up with it by accident unless you just happen to overlook the several hundred extra dollars on your receipt.. Epoxy primer bonds so well because it's EPOXY, it's sticks like glue. And it's because it DOES NOT have phosphoric acid that it's so compatible, because residual phosphoric acids from "self etch" can inhibit the cure of epoxies as well as polyesters (most body fillers are polyester based, as well as polyester primers) causing them to lift, not fully hardened, or have a general weakness. Self etching primer is fine for DIY auto and small repairs, but I wouldn't even consider using it for restoration or a quality pro paint job, too many compatibility issues. Self etch really shines in non-automative fabrication work, like when you have some (clean and degreased) aluminum parts that you can't or don't want to sand blast, or galvanized parts that are nice and shiny (hard to get a good bond without etch). It has its place, but if you have the choice when doing autowork always go with an epoxy or a 2k urethane primer and leave the self-etch on the shelf. The other REALLY big issues with self etch in auto work (as if known and documented incompatibilities with body fillers and polyester primers isn't enough) is that spray-can self-etch is not a catalyzed finish. (epoxies, 2k urethanes, and polyesters are all catalyzed, once they harden they are generally immune to solvents). But self etch is not catalyzed, which means that at any time, even years from now, you can wipe it off with a solvent soaked rag, it never sets up like a true enamel does. So what happens when you go to spray over self-etch with a lacquer or 2k urethane? All that solvent in your wet film is going to melt back on your self-etch primer and increase the likelihood of the finish lifting, wrinkling, or having adhesion problems. There's just too many issues with self-etch in automotive work. Epoxy primer on a well prepped and clean surface is king.

First time I’ve seen it done that way.

How much to do that

Great video! And you are working on your daughter’s car. Win win situation! You’re a good man and great dad! Thanks for sharing!

Factory wheels and remove that little knee knocker eyelet

Hey where do I buy them? I have an 2015 gmc Sierra ext cab

Enjoyed the video! What a great transformation. Those tires and wheels were a good call 👍🏻 I wish they still made vehicles with the vent windows.

Awesome, thanks for the tip, I’ll look that up 👊🏼

That old girl came up nice! The mirror gaskets reminded of a material called "Gore GR Gasket Sheeting" which is teflon, comes in different thicknesses and is super easy to work with. Might be worth a look to have around the shop!

Midnight paint and body and truck remodeling. Nice job!

Nice i drive

She is beautiful. Nice Job!!

wow, the old girl cleaned up nicely. I aways found that tires and rims make the vehicle, and those look great on it.

Good to see the nugget get some loving!! Leave it alone, drive it!!

Would a lacker be overkill or would you recommend that for extra protection?

I thought you were supposed to put the glue on both surfaces.

I agree 100% with marklowe7431 below me. That was an amazing fix and I had to subscribe! I'm 69 and always looking to learn something from a person like you. I build motorcycles and decided it was time to weld and paint, both of which I'm still pretty much pathetic. Thank you for the video, very much appreciated!

I see you replaced one wheel arch. I don't know what you did to the other but it appears you sanded the paint/rust off and put epoxy primer over it. In the ending you showed and said that if you have spots of rust on the arch, you must repair it from the back and you showed the rust on the arch you cut off. How did you get behind the arch you only repaired, to treat the rust on the inside. And what about the inner wheel well, it is up tight to the fender.

Great job thank you!!!

Great job

just found your channel last night and enjoying the content... keep up the good work !!!

Enjoyed your video thanx.

2nd owner of my 05 LLY duramax ive had it since '08 and has been the best truck ive ever owned...drivers side started rusting but passenger side was perfect for about another year then started rusting real fast

Omg I love your work what you charge please let me know I'll come to you where you located to do you have another contact please let me know thats

thx for the video i have an 05 crew cab and my sons 04 extended cab to do... btw if you had a little gray going on you look just like my cousin

SUB'D... used motor oil or fluid film is BY FAR better than painting the insides

What brand Epoxy primer do you use?

This a poor design on fords part . At least on the 2013 ‘s .These wheel wells are built in such a way that it literally traps water on the backside of the well and is saturated by some kind of foam material which absorbs the water and of course this is the result . Not sure what the Ford engineers were thinking here outside of sabotaging their own vehicle….

That’s a slick little jig for pouring paint through the the filter , into the gun 👍🏻

Like the variety of vehicles that you work on,and share with us. Nice video

Good stuff!!

variety is the spice of life.... if I lived in the city, I would definitely have one, but living in a suburb & being on the highway a lot, I will have to stick with my RT. Thx!

Thats a pretty cool bike 👍. Great video

What would something like this cost me ?

A repair for dually fenders that can be warrantied is a money maker. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice!!!

Whats the price on this roughly

Nice

Hey Jon I've ask ya questions before I'm alitte late but on that 70 charger you did on top of those fenders how did fix that .my father's 70 charger fenders has dimples on it I thought would ask ya how would you fix it by chance

Where did you get that plastic surgery stuff from?

I think this car was for sale last week in the prince george area ..small world

When i had my Cervini's kit painted it was a nightmare for the painter... he had to re do it 5 times to make it finally not bubble and fish eye....your not alone on that one

Where I get my rockers i asked them whats the best thing to put on them for protection they told me salt there I laugh haha.

Nice !

Thanks for the tips, I havent tried rockers before, But I pretty sure after watching your work I can accomplish the job.

Excellent video as always mate

Good job man

Nice video

great job, I am sure doing those little extras are appreciated by your customers. Thx for the video!!
