Hi Dave you’ve go to keep the garage at a minimum of 20c while doing this work for drying and flash might cost you a few quid on heating but needs to be done, also you’d be better off buying some scales to mix your paint there also good for mixing filler to get the same velocity throughout 👍
I bought a load of graduated paint mixing cups from Amazon to save any guesswork, if you use too much hardener it makes the paint "plasticky" and it scratches/clogs really easily. I also warm the panels first with a hot air gun, especially in this weather.
I found if you cover the car in polythene, an electric heater will warm the panels save risk of condensation, roll oneside back to work then with suitable frame, pull the sheet down and heater back on.
Nice Darth Vader Impression, looks like you managed to wing it using the roller and the finish looks adorable .Ant n Deck , no , would rather watch the paint dry ,it's not primer time TV .A quarter of the car already painted.Looking better already 😊
Looks like the epoxy your using is a marine epoxy, so you will be fine using it in cold weather, they are designed for that, as you can imagine most boats/ships get painted in cold damp environments.
Good progress in this video, shame the weather is a potential problem, hopefully the epoxy went off adequately before the condensation happened. Could you use a space heater or something similar in the garage to keep it at bay and speed the cure time a little? How many layers of paint or colour variances did you find at most when sanding back?
Dave, strip the underside of that bonnet to bare metal again, otherwise I promise it will come back and haunt you later on as it will never cure properly now! Look at the spec sheets on the epoxys you are using, many of these modern ones need baking on so you need some heat in the panels. If you dont have garage heater, I would recommend a propane Bullfunch 1400. These do not need an electric power source and they are gentle as not to disturb the dust.

Coming along now is the time to prep well as you know. Look forward to next video
So glad the bonnet stripes are gone Dave. Good progress
Love the way you filed the found bonnet nut away for future use! 😂
Looking good davey boy
Dave Vader may the paint be with you.

Aawww I was gonna say that!!
When cleaning up the garage, a leaf blower is revolutionary, you can get so much dust blown off the shelves and out the door!

Thanks for the tip
(My wife’s electronic scales seem very accurate) so I bet they’re a lot cheaper than “professional “ paint scales..
@@philtucker1224 you can get some cheap scales that way down to a gram for less that £40

dave, you can coat over epoxy without keying, normally within 72 hours, chemical bond

Ha, yes, I should have filmed the paint layers, there was a few, it's been, white/gold/white/red 🤣
