  • PART 56 of this series, time to paint on the Pin Stripes!!!!!
    My biggest challenge yet! Can I FIX a 1988 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit with too many faults to list, there is more wrong with it than right. Will I end up crying into my Connolly leather seats or will this beast live on.
    This is the cheapest Rolls Royce in the UK so I wasn't expecting much, hopefully bit by bit with sheer determination and zero skill I will attempt to fix each fault one by one.
    This is PART 56 of this series. Every part will be filmed, and I hope to discover the craftmanship that has gone into this 34 year old moving piece of art.
    If you would like to support these videos, please click here / mymatevince
    If you have an interesting 'non returnable' item for a 'trying to fix' video then my PO box is as follows. Please only use if you are from the UK and using Royal Mail.

    Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series. Many thanks, Vince.

    Definitly the right thing - paint always looks better than stick-on pin stripes. You'll be grinning from ear to ear when you're out on a jaunt and look back at the roller and say ' I painted that ' - Happy painting Vince ... thats what I usually tell my art channel viewers !

    My favorite series on RUclips. Love how it turns out. This car had so much work done on, so many hours of careful fixing, it’s just as admirable as the handwork that went to manufacture it. I must say, I’m little bit shocked how well a rattle can sprayed car can look. And these pin stripes - well deserved own episode.

      First class? Are you joking? The painting and detail work being done outside in the rain with poor or no prep is awful! All the time and effort on painting should be done on the mechanical aspects of the car: driving, stopping, handling. Better to let the outside look rough and make it a good driver. I can't bare to watch these last couple videos as he's truly living up to the DPO moniker from any car forum (DPO means Dumb Previous Owner).

      @@mitchd949 Get a grip Mitch. You don't have to watch if you don't want to. Vince makes it very clear to everyone that he's a DIYer and that he lacks experience here. 99% of his viewers are the same. I wouldn't have risked pin striping the car in the rain to be fair but it has been overcast for weeks (at least where I live anyway). At some point, you have to just get on with it and take your chances.

    My mate Tim, who used to work for a paint company, says you should always stir paint with a flat stirrer, like a ruler, and move it both up and down as well as round and round. This is because the hardening components of the paint may sink to the bottom of the can.

    19:22 the idea of that brush is to load it with paint and hold the handle slightly higher then the bristles so the paint runs down. This is how you get straighter lines and a better finish plus a lot faster

    • @ChiefDestructor
      @ChiefDestructor Месяц назад +2

      Well, that's not really true. A Pinstriping brush has longer bristles to hold more paint than an average brush so you can draw incredibly long lines without interrupting and even do one side of a car with just one long stroke. The paint is NOT supposed to run down because then you would never be able to draw a horizontal line. The surface you are working on draws the paint out of the bristles. That's why you get different results depending on the surface (glass, paint, clearcoat, etc.) The line is only straight because of a steady hand. If you have a style line like here you hold the brush between thumb and forefinger and the rest of the hand runs along the style line. By doing so you automatically follow the style line and keep the same distance

    • @MrFujack103
      @MrFujack103 Месяц назад +1

      @@ChiefDestructor more or less what I said then? I say about holding the brush slightly at an upwards angle otherwise it will start heading towards the handle. The straighter line comes from a good flow of paint and drawing it out in a single stroke not doing bits at a time.

    Well done on that striping. I think the car painters do use a guide tape. I remember watching a sign writer painting the name on an ambulance, he had lithotape (red photography tape) and a stick with a ball for leaning on and just some whippy brushes. He did a lot of marking up first with tape to get height and width correct before he started. Still wonderful to watch though.

    Beautiful finish with those stripes 👍 Indeed 80's cars do have slight curves, even everyone says they are boxy and with straight lines. As a kid in the 80's, used to draw cars by hand and noticed those slight curves when studying images about them from car magazines and brochures.
    Well maybe Ford Sierra was considered to be round shaped car, especially when compared to it's predecessor Taunus/Cortina, or Opel Kadett E / Vauxhall Astra 1984 - 1991.
