Thanks Darwin. Yup, show it all! You have been so great with all of your support, I can't thank you enough. Some of your parts will be going on this baby soon!
So first off let me say you did an amazing job, like you said had that been in a booth it would have been near perfect. hard to say where the trash came from maybe the floor? doesn't matter. That paint is absolutely beautiful, I am hoping that the hair is pops so that his Dna can forever be a part of that car as he deserves to be, After hes gone that hair will be priceless. Great work, application was excellent.
Oh man, you made my day Roger. DNA! Love it. Pops will get a kick out of that. You have been one of my most important rocks through this whole process, and I cannot thank you enough buddy.
Im crying tears of joy this morning!!! This is beautiful. Most of that little trash will buff out bro. She's gonna look beautiful. She already does!!! This is one of my favorite youtube moments of all time. Great job Erik & Pops. Phenomenal!!!
Now you have a pretty metallic red garage floor to match your Camaro when it's pulled in. Lol. Great job man!! What an exciting time after coming all this way. You deserve a pat on the back for sure.
Houston... We Have Paint !!! Damn that looks gorgeous!!! Always love your process. You have spent so much time and effort to create a sterile environment for your booth, it is a shame that you are still getting that much trash. Have you inspected the Fan that is built into the Air Compressor's pulley wheel? Dust could build up on it and launch itself into the air when it kicks on. I believe that is where I am getting crap in my priming efforts. I don't believe that it's coming from the floor. Like you, I occasionally watch "The Gunman" and I believe he prefers to not wet the floor. Cheers to you buddy... What a gem you and Pops are creating.
Thank you very much. You may be on to something with the compressor. We tried to hide it behind plastic, but we were having to much trouble with the plastic puffing out, so we removed it. Everything else in that garage was DANG clean. We blew out the fan on the compressor when we cleaned the garage, but that may very well be it. Thanks a lot for all your kind words here and along the way. You really have been great.
@@asicerik Definitely, I'd be proud! I just looked again. It is so damn motivating to see it when you changed the exposure levels.. makes me feel less bad about the hunk of metal in my garage. Especially when I flash back to the phosophoric acid episode of yours. 6 year difference which lets me know my estimate of 5 for my build isn't as conservative as my friends think. You're the man for sharing so much of that experience with the world. A lot of cars will be born of it.. I talk about it in my newest video which I hope to have up by tomorrow.
That looks really good! You and Pops have a lot to be proud about The trash and runs suck, but the reality is that you are looking at the car expecting 100% perfection but after a cut and buff almost no one will notice any of it.
Thanks Tim. I keep telling myself the imperfections are what makes it ours. Anyone (who can afford it) can pay a pro to paint their car, but everyone will know we did it :) Blemishes and all. Like me, I don't look perfect (anymore) LOL>
For painting in a garage, I think it turned out extremely well Erik. Most of the garbage will be gone after cut & buff. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished, you rebuilt that entire car, and looks AMAZING!
Thank you so much James! Absolutely. I will tackle the flow coat, then cut and buff in the next few weeks, so we'll see how it all turns out in the end. The underside of the hood came out pretty nice and it was in a similar situation.
Thank you so much Chef. You know, I thought my arm was going to be in much worse shape, but it was fine. My whole body was shagged by the end of the day though. As I have pointed out to others, you are a big reason I was able to pull this off. Your channel, videos and demeanor have been so inspirational to me. Your attitude when things go wrong especially. You just roll your sleeves up and fix it. I would not be here without you Chef. Thank you so much
Eric, awesome job! I am so impressed with all you and pops have done. Come along way since washing the bare metal with acid in the driveway! Can't wait to see it cut and buffed gonna be Bad Ass!
Eric you did great, even 10,000 paint jobs have some trash and a lot of what you have can be wet sanded and buffed out. I give you an A+ ;) congratulations. I hope mine comes out half as good when I do it lol
If it’s to perfect you will be scared to drive it and won’t enjoy it like that. To me the best part about the whole thing is it’s a father son project. Keep the video coming
SO proud of you guys. I think it looks great. Don't worry about the imperfections. Most of them will be corrected and you still have the z28 stripe kit too.
Thank you so much Russ. Yeah, I found a huge hair or something in the middle of the hood today and then reminded myself the stripe will cover it! Yay! Thanks for all your help Russ, you have been so great to me. I hope all is well for you and Sammy (Sami?) and I hope to see more vids from you soon!
LOOKS SO FREAKING AWESOME ERIK sorry didnt mean to yell lol you did an amazing job makes me want to go paint my car but so far away from that thank you for sharing.
@@marshallperformanceqld Love it! Was that your face I saw pop up in episode 3 (?) selfie-style and stripping paint (what a nasty job!) ? You two are doing an amazing job. I can see "hubby" has an amazing attention to detail. Is he watching Double R' channel? Russ is also amazing when it comes to clean work.
@@asicerik yep i get the fun jobs like paint stripping and cleaning haha. I don't think I've seen Ross's channel. I've found it now and will watch some later today, thanks :)
Looks damn nice . Hope all the trash sands out. Now the fun starts putting her back together. When done at least you can say YOU and your dad did it congrats.
Thank you my brother! Where have you been hiding? I hope you are doing well sir. You are another of my great motivators. I really loved all your painting and repair videos, They tought me so much. Thank you sir!
Hey Eric its been a long journey but you finally made it you and pops hard work has paid off in the end .I have enjoy watching your videos on the camaro .its look great .
She really looks awesome! It’s truly amazing to look at the transformation that has taken place over these few years. As I’ve said before. You and pops make a great team.
Seeing the Camaro in paint is amazing! It’s a really cool color. Been a long trip to this point. I started watching around your RideTech rear suspension video when I had my 71 Firebird formula.
Thank buddy. I really appreciate all your help sir. You have been just great. I can't thank you enough. You are one of those guys that showed me I can do it! I hope to be able to pull my car out of the garage soon. Hopefully before too long we will have a chance to meet at a car show somewhere or something!
Beautiful! Hopefully you can work out those trash issues during flow coat but man...the body work though! It all looks fantastic! Everything looked really really straight and clean. Awesome work!
Thanks Nate! I appreciate it. I am pretty sure this crap is coming from my compressor. I will probably do the flow coat in sections to keep the overspray down. I don't see ANY Issues with the body work. I am REALLY happy there. We might find something out in the sun, but in the garage it is laser straight.
nicely done Erik, it's beautiful, you should be proud, specially, choosing this kind of paint as a first . and for the hair , you can blame your wife walking in on you in the garage or pops...lol
That’s awesome Eric. Great to see pops there on paint day so you both can enjoy all the hard work that got you here. Man that color looks really great. It looks super nice and I can’t wait to see it after cut and buff under the sun. That was my second color choice but it looks like maybe should have been first. Gees long day for you. I checked for your video until after 1:00 am but you posted around 3am. Woa bet you and pops were beat. Great job.
Thanks! Long day indeed! I felt like crap at the end of the day when all the adrenaline wore off. ... and CRASH! The color is just phenomenal in person. Especially out in the sun. I can't wait to get it out of the garage.
Congrats Erik!! Nice job and everything went pretty well! The dust is unavoidable and and just gives us another reason to sand! lol Can't wait to see it in the sun!
@@ceedell Thank you Wendell. As I pointed out in the wrap up video coming today, YOU made this possible. I would never have attempted this if you had not pointed out my clearcoat pressure problem That completely saved my bacon. You have been an inspiration to me from day 1, and I am so glad you have been there to help out. I wish I could return the favor somehow.
Erik, This has been a long time coming. I have been watching this since about part 13: were you were media blasting. which is what originally brought me to your channel. hard to believe it has been 6 years since them. anyway great paint for a garage paint job. hopefully the trash will sand out. cant wait to see the rest of it come back together.
Thank you Adam. I was pretty happy watching the footage. No major technique issues that I could see. A little fast and loose with the hose, but it never hit anything!
Looks great, some of those things got through your water filter, your gun wasn't todally clean or the mixing wasn't totally mixed. But it looks great. Some wet sanding after the mid coat before the clear would have got alot out. But great JOB!!!
It looks great man I was the same way when I painted my rs 92 Camaro looking for all defects and stuff like that I painted mine outside at the time and got a bunch of bugs standing up out of my clear lol but excellent job you have come a long way and it looks great keep up the good work 👍🏻
Hey Mark, I mentioned in the video that I did not want to get the floor wet. We were not seeing classing "trash" in the paint from overspray and such, so I decided not to do it.
@@bakertheairplanemaker4973 No worries! It was a LONG video, LOL. I could have gone either way, but with waterborne basecoat, any water drops that got in it would have been disaster.
Dude you need tweezers :) I pick things out(bugs, really big chunks) :) really really fine sharp tweezers help pull the big crap out. those big drips are crazy... thats as good as you can in that environment honestly.. cutting and buffing works :)
Great job! Paint looks awesome, now the fun part of finally assembling and making it drive for you and pops to go cruise in! Would you have any idea of the price it has cost for supplies/paint? I know its hard to tell its been such a long journey but just curious
Thanks Christian. A LOT $$$. LOL. We have about $2k in base coat, $800 in sealer (I could not get quarts, so I have a lot left over!). Probably about $1200 in clear + tint. That is all just for the final paint. There was all the stuff that came before. Probably $1200 in epoxy. So, it is a $8k paint job pretty close not counting labor. The tri-coat + red really bumps up the price.
Thanks John. I mentioned in the video that I did not want to get the floor wet. We were not seeing classing "trash" in the paint from overspray and such, so I decided not to do it.
I hope my paint job turns out half as good as yours. Looks very good. Glad to see you got it done! What was the issue with the sealer when you were starting off?
Thank you very much. We had a big gap between when I started spraying the sealer and when I went back for the second coat. The sealer had kicked in the cup and the gun. So, it was TOO thick to spray. I kept fiddling with the gun, but to no avail. So, I took the cup off thinking I needed to clean the gun. That is when I found it.
asicerik I have an FLG 4 and a Kobalt 60 gallon compressor and you posting the gun, PSI and settings was very helpful. Definitely will help me! I’ve done the core support (and accessories to it) underhood and wheel wells so far, didn’t come out too bad. Going to tackle the rest of the car this week. What was your PSI at the air compressor?
@@highspeednoblesgarage3152 It is a pretty good gun. I have 120 psi at the compressor, but regulated down to 100 or so at the first filter. My dessicant filter has another regulator right before the air hose for spray painting. That one is probably around 50psi.
Not sure I get your question. Do you mean from the front? Or why I started over the edge where the hood and fender meet? If the latter, I don't know. I probably should have. Part of what I was thinking is I wanted a flat surface so I could really see how the paint was laying down.
Just finished the video, the hair prbably came from pops, leaning over the paint. As far as the trash goes, if you are using the same gun for sealer, base and clear that can cause problems even if you clean it out. Most painters have a primer gun, base gun and clear. Even if they are harbor frieght guns its better than trash. It would have been better to wet the floor. when you spray the rockers, bottom of the fenders ect it kicks up a ton of trash. The fan also probably did more harm than good. You want to control the air, not have it swirl around. have 2 fans on each end, one doing push and the other pull, out a door or somthing.
I used a different gun for sealer vs. base + clear. I agree it would be better to have different guns for base & clear, but oh well. There is no way I could have sprayed w/o the exhaust fan. It is a Jenny 16", so pretty chunky. Even with that, there is a lot of mist in the air. I can't remember why I did not wet the floor, maybe I did and it all evaporated. It was really hot. Thanks for your input, all good points. I would say I am pretty pleased with how it turned out all things considered.
Oh forgot to mention, the source of the big trash was the compressor. It was kicking all kinds of crap off the belt/etc. We put a dog house over it for the flow coat and it was MUCH better.
Thanks. The videos are the best log. We probably average 4 hours of work per video, So, somewhere around 1,000 hours. Pops has been there for 1/2 or more, so total 1,500 person-hours or something.
At 10:20 in i cant see any black in the sealer unless the camera isn't picking it up. so I'm wondering if it happen in the first base coat?, and if it was the compressor belt why would in not have been in the sealer? just trying to figure where the contamination came from, also I wouldn't think rubber particles would float through the air in chunks like that. Just thinking out loud on your channel lol

Thanks a lot Ian!
Just amazing! I'm speechless
Thanks bud! Pretty sick huh? I hope to be able to drive it over and show you in the next year or so. LOL
@@asicerik That would be awesome, can't wait!
Dude you need tweezers :) I pick things out(bugs, really big chunks) :) really really fine sharp tweezers help pull the big crap out. those big drips are crazy... thats as good as you can in that environment honestly.. cutting and buffing works :)
I had tweezers! I was overwhelmed LOL
Looks good cut buff most of that will come out looks great
Thank you very much!
@@asicerik fixing to paint a corvair spider turbo car in few weeks can't wait to see ur car all together
Great job! Paint looks awesome, now the fun part of finally assembling and making it drive for you and pops to go cruise in! Would you have any idea of the price it has cost for supplies/paint? I know its hard to tell its been such a long journey but just curious
Thanks Christian. A LOT $$$. LOL. We have about $2k in base coat, $800 in sealer (I could not get quarts, so I have a lot left over!). Probably about $1200 in clear + tint. That is all just for the final paint. There was all the stuff that came before. Probably $1200 in epoxy. So, it is a $8k paint job pretty close not counting labor. The tri-coat + red really bumps up the price.
Looks good
Thank you very much Richard!
All and all great fucking job buddy
Thank you very much
Looks really good. Congrats. That crap should buff out. Any reason why you didn’t water the floor?
Thanks John. I mentioned in the video that I did not want to get the floor wet. We were not seeing classing "trash" in the paint from overspray and such, so I decided not to do it.
Looking good
Got to love the guy in street clothes leaning all over the car getting trash in it.
Yeah, probably not the smartest move :)
GREAT JOB .....
I hope my paint job turns out half as good as yours. Looks very good. Glad to see you got it done! What was the issue with the sealer when you were starting off?
Thank you very much. We had a big gap between when I started spraying the sealer and when I went back for the second coat. The sealer had kicked in the cup and the gun. So, it was TOO thick to spray. I kept fiddling with the gun, but to no avail. So, I took the cup off thinking I needed to clean the gun. That is when I found it.
asicerik I have an FLG 4 and a Kobalt 60 gallon compressor and you posting the gun, PSI and settings was very helpful. Definitely will help me! I’ve done the core support (and accessories to it) underhood and wheel wells so far, didn’t come out too bad. Going to tackle the rest of the car this week. What was your PSI at the air compressor?
@@highspeednoblesgarage3152 It is a pretty good gun. I have 120 psi at the compressor, but regulated down to 100 or so at the first filter. My dessicant filter has another regulator right before the air hose for spray painting. That one is probably around 50psi.
when you started spraying red you did not start at the top edge of the right fender. i wondered why?
Not sure I get your question. Do you mean from the front? Or why I started over the edge where the hood and fender meet? If the latter, I don't know. I probably should have. Part of what I was thinking is I wanted a flat surface so I could really see how the paint was laying down.
Just finished the video, the hair prbably came from pops, leaning over the paint. As far as the trash goes, if you are using the same gun for sealer, base and clear that can cause problems even if you clean it out. Most painters have a primer gun, base gun and clear. Even if they are harbor frieght guns its better than trash. It would have been better to wet the floor. when you spray the rockers, bottom of the fenders ect it kicks up a ton of trash. The fan also probably did more harm than good. You want to control the air, not have it swirl around. have 2 fans on each end, one doing push and the other pull, out a door or somthing.
I used a different gun for sealer vs. base + clear. I agree it would be better to have different guns for base & clear, but oh well. There is no way I could have sprayed w/o the exhaust fan. It is a Jenny 16", so pretty chunky. Even with that, there is a lot of mist in the air. I can't remember why I did not wet the floor, maybe I did and it all evaporated. It was really hot.
Thanks for your input, all good points. I would say I am pretty pleased with how it turned out all things considered.
Oh forgot to mention, the source of the big trash was the compressor. It was kicking all kinds of crap off the belt/etc. We put a dog house over it for the flow coat and it was MUCH better.
Inspiration lads. Did you keep a record of hours on the build?
Thanks. The videos are the best log. We probably average 4 hours of work per video, So, somewhere around 1,000 hours. Pops has been there for 1/2 or more, so total 1,500 person-hours or something.
Hey eric great job did u mix the med coat in the clear or in a inter coat
Thanks a lot! PPG calls for it in clear coat, not an intercoat. They recommend using the same clear as the top coat as well.
Looking clan
At 10:20 in i cant see any black in the sealer unless the camera isn't picking it up. so I'm wondering if it happen in the first base coat?, and if it was the compressor belt why would in not have been in the sealer? just trying to figure where the contamination came from, also I wouldn't think rubber particles would float through the air in chunks like that. Just thinking out loud on your channel lol
Sweet
Nice
Looks great ad it will be better once its cut and buffed. You done great for never painting a car.
Thank you very much my friend. I cannot be disappointed with these results.
Please post all your products #codes looking to paint my car that color💪🏼👍🏼

Sand that trash down and clear the car again that how you get a deep shine. 3 more coats.
