I am so glad that I subscribed to this channel, I followed this whole restoration from beginning to this very end, I got to say that you guys did a fantastic job on that Lancer, you gave that car a second lease on life, thank you so much for everything you guys did, I got kinda emotional knowing that this is the end of the Lancer restoration. Keep up the fantastic work.
Thank you so so much for subscribing! We are so glad you enjoyed the Lancer Restoration and hope you will enjoy future builds. We love to get positive comments like this so thank you!!
The key to any paint job is prep, prep and prep, the better you get the surface prior to paint the better the finish will be, sand those plastics with 400 and find any areas that need work, fill with body filler and sand, then prepwash with wax and grease remover, then lay down your primer, give this time to cure i usually leave 24hours, then sand flat with 600 and lay down any black you like, if your going gloss then do that, any black works
@@SwampBoysGarage You both have an amazing father son relationship. I love my dad but to have a similar interest in a certain area I think deepens the father son bond I wish to have with my dad someday. Thanks Tyler and your dad for your amazing content you create.
Great job fellas! Wet sand the orange peel with done 2000 grit wrapped around a soft flexible block. Then put some 1500 trizact on an interface pad on a DA. Then work your way up to 3000, 5000, then 8000 trizact. You will hardly have to cut & buff after that. Maybe a good polish but that's it. Again great job fellas. I just finished my Del Sol and am in the wet sanding process right now. Had to wait for the trizact to get here so I could finish it. Made a video on my car & the problems I had while painting it.
I really enjoy watching how you take a car that isn't very appealing and turn it into a nice looking car again. Keep up the good work. I enjoy doing fixing up cars from copart to. 👍
Have enjoyed watching from Australia. Not sure if I'm a fan of the colour but if you like it go for it. All the clips are a pain and you need to keep a good range for all the different cars. But all in all it's always great to see another great Mitsubishi back to life and on the road. Great job.
Glad to see it almost done. Do a quick 5 minute update video when you get it all done and cleaned up without the cloudy windows and all. I'm usually not a wrap fan but considering what you started with, it's looking good.
Great video and great work! Loving ther series! Y'all have came so far! It only gets better! Support from across the river in East Texas. Blessings and respect!
It's looking good, I love seeing a car go from zero to hero 😎 Only change I'd make is wrapping the trunk lid, it'll make it flow much better. Great first paint effort guys!
I appreciate that you guys are learning, but you need to heed the comments. It's disappointing that you don't, because you are going to have a ton of issues that people brought up in past videos. That car with the color change and ebay wrap is now worth nothing, compared to a factory color respray where it'd be worth $2-5k. You didn't remove all the rust so that'll pop through within a year, and I guarantee that rust will propagate under that wrap. You guys did so much, and if you listened to the comment gallery you'd have a good product. You guys chose to half ass it.
Realmente un excelente trabajo ¡¡¡. Le dieron una nueva vida a un buen auto que seguro andará como diario por mucho tiempo. El color está genial y la combinación con la tapa del motor lo deja muy interesante. Siempre es lindo ver a padre e hijo trabajando juntos .estare esperando el video final de este auto. Y por cierto señor padre...gracias por mostrar la receta del gumbo (en cuanto termine el verano aquí la estaré haciendo) como siempre los saluda cordialmente un argentino desde España.
Looks great! Good call on trying again on those mirrors with a sealer. Depending on the material and original condition, a adhesion--promotor can help too. SEM has some great products too. I think the color combo with the wrap looks pretty sweet! Great job guys! What's next?
I guess the honest answer is because this was our first paint job and we was trying to focus on just learning and getting it right we didn’t want to take on the massive job of doing the jambs, doors and hoods.
That Mitsubishi Lancer is looking great and you guys should tint the windows and the whindshield tint strip as well and also make a video of that as well.😊
@@SwampBoysGarage also they are like 5 deferent types of oem grills and 3 aftermarket grills for the front bumper I can send u images of the grills and headlights available and someplace to get them and for the headlights to
I have never had good results with spray can clear coat. The wrap came out nice as did the car. What was the mcguires you sprayed on the black plastic ?
It’s called Meguiar's Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer. We have the Amazon link in video description. It worked great. Just gotta see how long it will last.
That would be a dream come true!! Not sure if we will boost it. A company offered to give us a free turbo but it’s an old car. Would hate to destroy the engine.
@@SwampBoysGarage it wouldn't. Just tune it properly and make it a cheap build that shows people you can do it cheaply at home. Keep up the great work guys
you guys have an email address that i can send you a few pics of my baby and you guys can also look at the fog lights as well, i feel it picks up the car even more
To Tylers dad i would suggest spray painting the cars rims in a black so it gives the car a more complete finish touch to it.
Father & Son working on automotive is neat the 05 Lancer Es looks good with smoke gray exterior.
Thank you. Appreciate the comment.
not the add being about Mitsubishi too... Great job on the transformation!
Thank you. That was our favorite build.
That car is 1000 times better then what it looked like when you brought it home. Great job guys!!
I agree! I think the car came out very nice
This has been a phenomenal journey to see what this car was and how it turned out. Great job dad and Tyler. Keep the amazing content coming.
Thank you so much. It was our most fun builds and learned the most.
@@SwampBoysGarageyes sir we are home in Oklahoma now.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds
Welcome back !!!! Missed ya.
You guys should paint the wheels, I did that for my Corolla and it made a great difference behind the hub caps!
Will definitely do that before we put on new tires.
I am impressed. I have been following since day one.
Thank you. We appreciate that

Appreciate that!!

Always appreciate your help. We definitely took your advice with the primer on the mirrors. Won’t be painting anymore without primer.
Great job guys well done. Nice to see you working together as father and son
Thank you!! We appreciate it and have a lot of fun together.

I’ll have to check that video out. Appreciate the info.
car is looking really cool so far cant wait to see it finished
Wow! Awesome job! Doesn't even look like the same car. I love the color. And I also agree about the black hub caps
Thank you. I wish the hubcaps would have come in before we finished filming.

OH god damn im liking the headlight resto 🥰
Glad to see it almost done. Do a quick 5 minute update video when you get it all done and cleaned up without the cloudy windows and all. I'm usually not a wrap fan but considering what you started with, it's looking good.
Thank you. We will definitely do an update soon.

Thank you! I agree with the wrap going on the trunk lid but there wasn't enough. We didn't know how much we got lol so we hoped for the best.
Hi swamp guys its good to see you shoo was quiet awhile since i saw your last vid im happy you,re back. look forward in seen this cars transformation.
I'm glad to be back too! My dad had work so unfortunately we couldn't film.

Literally everyone in the comments when asked what color said to keep it stock. Those mismatched door jambs look horrible.
Is this comment meant to hurt us or help us, it’s hard to tell.
@@SwampBoysGarage It's constructive criticism. Heeding it is how you learn.
looking god guys, trying to send you a pic of my CS3

Thank you for the support. So glad you like the gumbo video. I learned how to cook Paella in Zaragoza Spain.
Nice job guys. Really enjoyed watching the videos. I actually just picked a 2002 WRX for a father son project.
Nice!! I’m gonna look on Copart for one of those now. That would be a popular build on RUclips.
I hope a wet sand brings that paint out.
Looks great guys!!
Thank you Mr. Mike.
Looks great! Good call on trying again on those mirrors with a sealer. Depending on the material and original condition, a adhesion--promotor can help too. SEM has some great products too. I think the color combo with the wrap looks pretty sweet! Great job guys! What's next?
Thank you!! Learned a lot on this build. Not sure what’s next yet.
Hey again, I think the audio might be cut to only the left side
Dang it. Forgot to fix the audio.
The car look really nice had one question to ask why didn't you paint the door jamb the same color and the trunk lid inside where it's White.
I guess the honest answer is because this was our first paint job and we was trying to focus on just learning and getting it right we didn’t want to take on the massive job of doing the jambs, doors and hoods.
Not bad for a 1st paint job!
Thank you. We appreciate it.
Loving the content, watching from Australia. Not sure if the colour works as white is nice but hey im excited to see where its going
Love your guys channel
The first comment I've been waiting to see the progress on this car
Appreciate the support so much
Now hand it over to Doug DeMuro and let him tell us about those quirks and features.
Tell him to get with us. We would do it.
That Mitsubishi Lancer is looking great and you guys should tint the windows and the whindshield tint strip as well and also make a video of that as well.😊
Thank you and yes some they would look good on that color.
@@SwampBoysGarageI think you mint to say ( they ) and not ( tiny )😅
Haha. Fixed it. Spell check 2 am.
@@SwampBoysGarageyea your brain don't work very good at 2am😏😅
For the headlight try to find that black housing or gloss black from the ralliart variant looks better
Thanks for the tip!
@@SwampBoysGarage also they are like 5 deferent types of oem grills and 3 aftermarket grills for the front bumper I can send u images of the grills and headlights available and someplace to get them and for the headlights to

It’s called Meguiar's Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer. We have the Amazon link in video description. It worked great. Just gotta see how long it will last.
the only things I see are the white jams and I'd put some rims on it not the hub caps other than that it looks a lot better than it did.
Looks good you just need to wet sand to make it perfect guys
Thank you! We hope to do that soon.
#earlysquad
Hope y’all have power and getting back to normal
Dang!! it looks amazing!! Also, how is the Tesla?
Thank you. Tesla is good. Hope to sell it on eBay tomorrow
hahaha young Tyler i notice the hose gun has a leak it could be the O' Ring is not sealing properly,.
Yes. Lol. The gasket is hard as a rock. We definitely need a new one
If you get the european front grill looks better than the le front frill
You guys eill be goonzquad level in no time. yall will be killing it on the next one. Any plans to boost the lancer or lower it and all that?
That would be a dream come true!! Not sure if we will boost it. A company offered to give us a free turbo but it’s an old car. Would hate to destroy the engine.
@@SwampBoysGarage it wouldn't. Just tune it properly and make it a cheap build that shows people you can do it cheaply at home. Keep up the great work guys
you guys have an email address that i can send you a few pics of my baby and you guys can also look at the fog lights as well, i feel it picks up the car even more
Yes all our contact info is in the video description
You are always mess up on your first time painting a car
I’m sure I’ll mess up the first few. Lol
@@SwampBoysGarage just trial and error you will get the hang of it
ya'll have serious audio problems!
Yeah it was only coming out the left speaker. Forgot to fix it in the editing software.
