This is the kind of channel I like RUclips for. There is a lots of ridiculous nonsense to be found on YT but then you find a channel like this. The Teaching, the knowledge offered and shown here Trev is simply irreplaceable pure gold, Fantastic channel.👍
Hey thanks man, appreciated 👍
We are repairing a Volkswagen T2 and my boss asked me to translate Your experience to our language(Hungarian).
Thanks for Your efforts and help.
Bless on Ya.
I've learned more about sanding a vehicle from you than from a bodyman father and a superb painter brother-ln-law. Thanks from Missouri, USA
I am truly glad that you decided to do "teaching" videos of your work. Thank you.
I really appreciate your work! I've been doing auto body restoring and painting for a long time, I always learn something from your videos.
I have been doing that job for 40 years but learnt alot on making panels brilliant Trev
Now retired I've spent over 50 years in the automotive trade working with many luxury vehicles including RR & Bentley when it was British & I can't fault any of your work ethics or paractices Trev well done keep up the good work.👍
A fantastic detailed how-to and an much anticipated update on the van project. Thanks, Trev. Cheers!
A man after my own heart. Wet sanding with P800 WOD. and a variety of long blocks.
Thanks Trev. Really like your blog, keep up the good work. Hello from Alaska.
"...whole lotta sandin' goin' on.
Trev ain't fakin'.
Whole lotta sandin' goin on."
Great info, excellent personal process. Best to you and yours.
Thanks Trev for your time and effort in making this video 😀
Just found this channel, and subscribed, I was very impressed. Very clever man and easy to watch.
Another great blog , you provide a great contrast to ‘ My friend Pete’ on America’s DIY auto school, both do show winning work with vastly different styles. Cheers from Australia
I've been watching a few of your videos and I'm impressed by your work. I like your video style where you present things slow enough so a person can really see what's your approach to solving problems. Keep up the great work.
Nice, clear and detailed explanation. Enjoyable to watch, thank you.
Good morning Trev, more good stuff. Thanks for sharing your expertise, I always learn new tips, tricks, and techniques from your videos. Can't wait for the next one. Have a great weekend, take care.
I will probably never ever do anything like this but I do love to what you do and how you do it. Excellent work!
Beautiful work Trev, can't wait to see the Bedford in all its glory!! Lovin' the tunes!!
As always Trev.... LOVE your work (and your music!)
Smack smooth, love it. Great content Trev.
Truly enjoy your videos. Saw some of the later vids, then watched some of the first vids. You have really come into your own, with loosening up and going with it. Keep up the great work.
Nice to see someone using a slightly courser paper to level primer , I was taught this way, a good analogy is that you wouldn't expect to get a block of steel flat using 800 wet and dry, you'd use a file. I also liked wet flatting, I was trained at an old fashioned Audi/VW dealer and loved the job, once bodyshops started paying bonus for hours saved and the subsequent drop in standards I left the trade altogether.
Hey thanks. It was a lot of work leaving the trade, but now I have 100%. I have no plans to return, ever. All the very best Trev 👍
Lots of good info, nice job and blog, Spot on Trev.
Hey Trev another great video, these videos are by far some of the best instructional youtube videos on here.
Another great video. I love how you are so clear and concise when you explain various concepts or procedures. Other channels may demonstrate how to do it but you demonstrate and explain why. Thanks for all of your effort to share your craft and trade with the world.
Greetings from California.
Trev, you're not making holes in RUclips you're filling them in. Always great. Thank you Trev.
Very good tips and tricks Trev. You do very good work. As to say,you have the gift. Thank you for your time in showing us your methods. Ronnie.
No idea how many times i've watched this but your videos have been my main inspiration for restoring my mk2 escort. Im super close to starting high build stage.
Cheers
Trev thanks for all your videos. I'm doing a car restoration at the moment.
If I'm stuck I just watch the appropriate video from you, and it usually fixes my problem. You're great teacher. All up infinite thumbs up. Cheers I'll have a few beers on you.
Thanks for the tips Trev! Beautiful work!!
Thanks for taking time,and giving us procedures and techniques on doing things.Now a days I even use circular motions on my body filler and it works great.
Great video Trev! I’ve just been soaking up everything you have shared! Really appreciate you taking the time to school al of us! 👍
Another brilliant video ! Well done Trev - props from down under!
Great stuff Trev, can't wait to see the van finished.
Trev Thank you for all your efforts I have never had the passion to do a nice prep job like that. It will look great
this is officially my new fave channel for so many reasons. Boy I wish I knew how to weld. It is the one thing I havent tried and Im so wanting to learn along wirh electrical. That one it scares me lol. Thanks so much I just layed my primer on my bumpers yesterday and today its sanding and hopefully laying the base. You rock!
Trev star man thank for your clear honest answer, always enjoy your content and a pleasure to get some personal advice from someone you trust👍👍👍👍👍👍
really enjoy the videos Trev. i'm from Norfolk so accents very similar. just got into car maintenance and restoration so binge watching paint n body videos, doing some myself coming across problems back to watching more videos. started stripping my '99 ford puma for respray found some major rust so brought a welder, watched welding videos fixed the issues. almost ready to start polyester priming. i'd epoxy primed the car after i found the rust so i could fix the issues over a course of time without worrying about further rust forming. your videos have helped me out big time, you've a great attention to detail and i've tried to emulate that in my work so i can do the best i can do.
thankyou for what you do.
Well done Trev you’re a top bloke. Really admire your skill, patience and attention to detail. She’s gonna look too good mate 👌👍🍻
Thanks Trev, a great video as always! I always look forward to the next! Tuning in from Maine, US!
You do make me smile Trev. Im long off the the tools but recently jumped back in with a resto now I have more free time. Im totally with you on wet flatting . My golden rule was always NO WATER till epoxy primer was laid down. Once you seal that filler with epoxy you're home and dry or wet as the case may be haha.
The abrasives and paints may have moved on but good house keeping remains the same. Cleanliness is next to godliness which will always show in your finish.
Keep doing your awesome videos, its like Ive never been away .
Great video Trev, definitely learned a few tricks!
Thanks a lot Trev, I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and your guides are usefull for me. Thanks a lot for share. Great works...thaks a lot.
Just a very deliberate well explained step by step from epoxy through 2K. Hats off and a subscribe. Keep rocking it.
Proper job as usual Trev. I've been out of the motor trade since 1992, and I can see things have changed! I was mostly using celly, but the high build primers were starting to be very good. Up to the primer stage, I would DA with 320, then it was all wet flatting like you say, after the primer was on and well dried. It's amazing that a lot of us old timers are still around, when I think of all the dust and fumes we consumed.
Everything I needed to know to progress my respray project to the next step. Great video 👍🏻 thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thank You 👍 as always great video. Love this channel.
Great video Trev. Can't wait to see the van finshed, its going to look great after all your meticulous preperation.
Cheers, Jeff.
cabdriveruk thanks as always Jeff. Cheers Trev 👍
Can't think of another channel that's so instructive, especially on the details. You make it look easy, but nevertheless , encourages me to have a go.
Great video Trev!!! You are a master of your art! Thanks for sharing! =)
Iv always wet flatted as thats how my dad taught me. looking good vans coming along nicely
You explained it in a way I finally understand. Everyone keeps getting so frustrated with me because I cant understand how to do it right but really they didnt explain well. Thank you
Hi Trev. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge and skill.
Certainly helping me get my project along 👍🏻
Hello Trev - hope it is a nice day over there? Cheers from AUSTRALIA.

Geez Louise Trev thanks for the block tips helps me a lot.

There you go. Everything you need to know to make a nice prepwork. Love it. I´m in the proces to build a nother hotrod, one with a roof this time. Always wanted a mod A-Ford Tudor so thats what i´m going for.
Thank you a lot for sharing your knowledge. So interesting and so much hard work which pays at the end. Cheers from Mauritius!
Really enjoying all your stuff Trev.
Your advice is great mate.. too many experts with no skill these days they are the ones that don't take into account every job is different and requires different steps etc.. Proof is in the pudding as we say.. great work. Thanks Trev
Hey Trev awesome vids just like to say big thanks. As they have been a big help with my project down in Australia. 😎
Wooo Hooo! Another great video from Trev!
Excellent video especially at 4:00 am, thank you for sharing your years of experience
Thanks trev
Just getting to the same stage with my floride
Very nice job Trev. The Van is gonna be greatful looking.
thanks trev for taking time to help us all i love perfection rockingham wa
Hello, Trev from Atlanta, GA USA First time watching one of your videos. Very much like your style of video. I also prefer to wet sand primer, and like you don't believe it causes any problems. Look forward to watching more of your videos. Excellent video!
Outstanding job, just Perfect. I really enjoyed it. Thank you👍
Thanks for sharing your experience, tips and advice. Nice work. I am envy your auto body skills and your hair. Glad to hear you always wear a mask. We need you to continue making videos to help the DIY community in particular. I imagine most professionals are forced to take some short cuts since time is money and they have a business to run.
Awesome video on the different methods of flattening 2k filler primer, Cheers from OZ
Thanks for sharing this knowledge and your videos in general.
I've found that block sanding with primer over the filler is so much better than trying to get bare filler smooth. Repeat the process several times and it gives amazing results with a 100 grit, then 120 grit dry sand. From there I'll follow your method. Cheers Trev.
Great show, excellent advice. Thanks.
Glad I found this site, love the videos.
Thanks for your tips trev keep them coming 👍
Another great video Trev thanks mate
Brilliant video, I'm currently painting my Reliant Fox Tandy camper van. One coat of undercoat on, about to add the second. Thanks....Dave
Very timely Trev, I’ve removed all the rust on my 73 GM Statesman using a 1000l Electrolosis bath, and am at the Epoxy primer stage. I would love to patch as I go but it all happened so quickly I just need to coat it, I don’t want to put polyester on steel , I’ll just give it a scuff I think.
I first arrived on your channel looking for guidance and it’s anticipated entertainment now, same as Pete C at Cortina City, I forget there is plenty to go back and watch, I’ll trust your experience thanks and block primer just like that ;)
Spot on with the technique Trev. Almost 100% what I would do. I discovered the benefits of dry blocking primer back in the late 80`s when all we did was use a small rubber block with 600. I had to knock out some pretty tough jobs back then just to survive and I quickly found that knocking down filler with the DA then knocking down high build with a large block and 180 would get things straight and ripple free. If it was a trade job or damaged repairable I would finish with 500 on the DA. Higher spec work would get a wet block with 800- 1200 depending on the top coat. Fact is dry blocking with the largest practicle size block gets things straight. Ideally if you can get away without wet flatting then that is best as you have less chance of introducing contaminants to the primer which could effect the final finish.
Nice to see the Van again.
So right you are about the holes. I'm working on a 1968 Bertram boat that has to be spot on when I'm done. There aren't a lot of videos on high build primer especially when it comes to marine applications. Great video though and you did help me quite a bit.
Very good enjoyed watching trev.....
thanx so much for taking the time to do this for us. you have the best videos
You are the best tutor Trev
Brilliant. Super helpful. Thanks very much.
Brilliant, your a natural communicator. It’s like you’ve been doing it all your life. I was taught by an ex rolls Royce worker who started his own business. We used a bar of soap for lubricant and everything was sprayed in cellulose.
I started painting in 86 and we used to use mostly cellulose, the first 2K products were apparently deadly toxic, far more than they are today. The finish looked quite plastic from memory. Cheers Trev 👍
Love The vids!...a precisionist..I know all to well..Absolutely fantastic work
Fantastic Trev learned a lot from watching you ....Cheers 👍
been doing collision work over 40 years damn nice work
Thanks for taking the time to make this video I find it very help full thank you
