I am glad I stumbled onto this video. I am getting ready to paint my first vehicle, a 32 year old GMC C1500 and don't want to put a lot of money and time into it. Thanks.
In crap hole southeast Michigan this is all you need on any car here in the cold mouths period. We deal with rocks,salt,heavy traffic, gravel haulers and road construction constantly. This is better than factory paint. Thanks for the video I enjoyed it.
Damn that turned out so much better than I thought it would with the level of prep you did. Most people are going to do more prep. I just love that colour, painted my very first old car that colour. Good job.
That still looks great! I got an old yard truck, that I wanted to look better. This was a great video! I subscribed and I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
Just watched Showmod and you Lighting up the tire, dam that motor sings, Get the bugs worked out and it's gonna rip. You better nut and bolt it. I have a feeling you are gonna be surprised when it hooks hang the frick on Courtney you built a Rocket. Great Job on the Blow and Go it's the same thing I do on off-road cars and roundy round cars that get crashed weekly.
Thanks for keeping it relatable! So i bought some 1ktoday and guy said to mix it 8-2 with reducer? For bed of my street strip truck, do i need to get a hardner also? Nothing will b in bed of truck
1k mines one part so mixing it with something makes it a 2k from what I’ve always heard. Unless they call it 1k bc there’s no hardener. You need to get the products data sheet and follow what ever directions it gives
Definetely keeping your shop in mind when it comes to my 86 fox. Its is the same light regetta blue as you did a few years ago. Looking for around a 5k paint job nothing crazy. I still have a long ways to go though.
It looks great ! Im learning , got myself a husky HVLP with the 1.4needle Im going to spray some single stage What psi do you recomend ? Im afraid to get dry stripes
Unfortunately I don’t pay attention to numbers. I don’t even use a gauge that I can read it. I go off sound alone and how the paints laying out. The product your spraying will have a recommendation on psi in their tech data sheet though
Possibly but I’ve never done it with such cheap paint. If you’re going to put all the time and work into wet sanding and buffing paint then I’d never recommend doing this and instead I’d do a base coat clear coat job as it’ll turn out better and easier to cut / buff. The point of these paint jobs is cheap fast and done.
I'm getting ready to do this to my 96 dodge ram truck and I've prepped it a lot more then you. I've sanded all the way up to 400 grit the body is not perfect and I'm going back with black witch is the original color. I just want it one solid color not 14 shades of black. 😂 I'm hoping it turns out as good as that car because I know you will see every flaw on it but from 30 + feet away it will be awesome 😁 And I want to thank you for the tips witch gives me the courage to try it myself. Keep up your great work
good job, not bad for what it is but if it happens to bother you then you can still do paint correction on single stage. ive done it many times before. because certain colors really bother me when they have orange peel and that dusk light hits it lol
rustoleum gloss tractor paint is about $50 a GALLON. One coat. Use foam hand paint brush (no masking). Paint 5 or 6 cars for that $400, instead of just one.
U make it look easy! Your tape, Plastic, all looks so neat! Youre good at what you do, Ive dabbled in painting, I need a xanax the size of a football before i get the masking done! 😂😂
@@ThePaintPaperHustle ok that paint must have been premixed with reducer ' thinner' i going just learning i am going to paint my car in backyard this year
If explaining isn’t your thing then this channel ain’t for you bc that’s 75% of what we do is. Explain and teach. Preaching over and over. Thanks for watching
Where can I get this paint. I want to paint my Chevrolet Express without putting too much time in bodywork, I need something that covers good like this paint.
Talk to your local paint supplier and ask them about their cheapest single stage trailer / equipment paint. That’s all you need. This is from my local supplier NCS
I painted my 1984 Monte Carlo with Western Highglo single stage. The paint was 79.00 for a gallon of paint, a quart of reducer, and 8 oz of hardener
That’s amazing lol I love it!
This was the best low-budget paint job video on RUclips. Well done!
Thank you
Man it looks awesome, id roll in that all day long 👍
Best $400 someone could spend
macco special
@zcam1969 absolutely
You gotta help TJ out. Lol ya can’t let him race that someone got sick on, and then called it paint job. 😂😂
Lol man TJ is in control of himself there’s nothing I can do with that situation
@@ThePaintPaperHustle heck I’ll send him rattle cans lol TJ pick a color.
I have to admit Courtney it turned out better than I thought it would
Lol it honestly surprised me alittle

Welcome aboard. This will be perfect for you
Cool 😎 . Definitely a good deal for a Drag Car with all the abuse the car goes through. And also the cars look great from the grandstands !
Yes sir absolutely
Tamco used to in fact do their single stages based on one of their clears you got to pick which clear to use as the basis for your single stage.
Awesome

This is better than factory paint.
Thanks for the video I enjoyed it.
Thanks buddy and makes sense for yall forsure
Great video perfect with my 1968 camaro drag car project getting to this step real soon so thanks buddy
You’re very welcome
Damn that turned out so much better than I thought it would with the level of prep you did. Most people are going to do more prep. I just love that colour, painted my very first old car that colour. Good job.
Thanks buddy!
Good job my man, especially for people who just trying to give there daily driver better look without breaking the bank
Exactly! Thanks man
i havE used TSC tractor paint with a little harder for a circle track car
Good cheap choice
painted a 83 Dodge ram plow truck to use in the U.P of michigan with Farmall red tractor paint!
Awesome!
Lol I’ll need one of these soon lol
Lol holla. Remember $400 is what you can do it for. This for a customer would run about $1200and have alittle more time spent on it.
Just started playing with single stage myself looking forward to learning some tips and tricks 👍
Awesome
Great 👌
Thanks
Bro, you did a great job!! I can imagine how nice it would look if you prepped it. Great video!
Thanks man!
Looks great.
Thanks
Helping out john with the new car
I am not painting the Saturn
Fixing the plastic finder
@donald-1463 what plastic fender?
Saturn as John calls it plastic finder
You aren't gonna let John race that weird painted Saturn are you. Your a better friend than that !!! 😂
thank you for sharing the knowledge
You’re welcome! We will be releasing another one of these jobs this week on the channel with good info
Looks great for the money!!Nice video Courtney 💪
Thanks buddy
That is really close to the color that is going on my mustang that's in the booth right now. Will look really good
That’s awesome
Good enough at 100 MPH 👍
💨
Is that color going to match the door jambs in the trunk and under the hood
No it’s way off
That still looks great! I got an old yard truck, that I wanted to look better. This was a great video! I subscribed and I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
Awesome thanks a ton. Welcome to the family. Let me know if you ever need advice
Great Job!
Thanks
Can't wait to see you in the new car and what car u picked out either way I know that it will be something awesome keep up the good work
Thanks buddy
So won’t the burned clear coat show through your single stage paint??
Not really bc the single stage is so thick it buries it.
Nice, that was a big change of look 👀 😮
Thanks!

Really enjoy these videos man.
Thanks man
The rims look way better black, too👍
Nice easy touch

Let me know buddy
Someone was smoking while painting TJ, new used car. He will be able to claim he has the world's fastest Saturn.😂
😂 smoking that ICE as “The Dog” says
Thats not smoking, that's dropping acid.
That is a great job for the money. No its not perfect but it did what you wanted it to do. Thats a good paint job for 400!
I agree thanks man
Would like to learn morw about adding clear to aingle stage. I am a month away from painting project.
Honestly if you’re going to add clear over single stage you should just do base coat clear coat
Probably most realistic budget job I've seen.
What do u do for overspray in the wheel wells?
On these jobs nothing at all. If it bothered you you could just spray paint it black
@ThePaintPaperHustle ok yeah I was thinking black spray paint would work .
Thanks for the reply
@SilverCommander you’re welcome
The average guy, would love to achieve that.
I 100% agree and that’s who I wanna help
@@ThePaintPaperHustle The door handles, looked much better, body color! More, modern.
@strokermaverick yea and normally looks like a nicer car
It looks great !
Im learning ,
got myself a husky HVLP with the 1.4needle
Im going to spray some single stage
What psi do you recomend ?
Im afraid to get dry stripes
Unfortunately I don’t pay attention to numbers. I don’t even use a gauge that I can read it. I go off sound alone and how the paints laying out. The product your spraying will have a recommendation on psi in their tech data sheet though
Cut and buff will smooth out the peel? Im new to all this. Ni e vid
This job has no pearl in it. This is a solid color.
Could you still polish that to get rid of the orange peel?
Possibly but I’ve never done it with such cheap paint. If you’re going to put all the time and work into wet sanding and buffing paint then I’d never recommend doing this and instead I’d do a base coat clear coat job as it’ll turn out better and easier to cut / buff.
The point of these paint jobs is cheap fast and done.
Did you also clear coat over thid
No clear coat on this job just single stage
Nice job brotha👍That’s amazing for the amount of work, you didn’t do?
Yea forreal and thank you. It really did turn out pretty good for such terrible prep
I'm getting ready to do this to my 96 dodge ram truck and I've prepped it a lot more then you. I've sanded all the way up to 400 grit the body is not perfect and I'm going back with black witch is the original color.

And I want to thank you for the tips witch gives me the courage to try it myself.
Keep up your great work
Awesome buddy I hope it turns out great. Keep in mind black shows a ton of flaws so don’t beat yourself up over your first one.
Yes I know I bet I will see thing when I'm done I didn't know was there
Is white easier to paint than a darker color?
Yes it shows less flaws
good job, not bad for what it is but if it happens to bother you then you can still do paint correction on single stage. ive done it many times before. because certain colors really bother me when they have orange peel and that dusk light hits it lol
Thanks for that info!
Shit man I think it came out good bro it is what it is it ain’t a show car
Absolutely
One of the toughest enamels I’ve used .
Is it? Seems to take awhile to dry though.
Great job for wat u pay for materials 👍👍
Thanks
Hell ya partner using bulldog adhession promtor as a etch primer / sealer.... taking fuck it n this car to a whole nother level
😂
rustoleum gloss tractor paint is about $50 a GALLON. One coat. Use foam hand paint brush (no masking). Paint 5 or 6 cars for that $400, instead of just one.
😬 if anyone is reading this I’d highly advise against painting your car with any brush. But if this is what floats your boat then sail away 🫡
U make it look easy! Your tape, Plastic, all looks so neat! Youre good at what you do, Ive dabbled in painting, I need a xanax the size of a football before i get the masking done! 😂😂
Lol man you need to watch the how to mask video I show exactly how to do it
I'd be overwhelmed if my car looked that nice. I have something to shoot for 👍 . Could you or should you put clear over the top of single stage?
No if you’re gonna clear then you should just do base coat clear coat
I need a $400 paint job. Will you come do it? Lol
Unfortunately no lol
18k views and only 5xx likes! Come on people!
Thanks buddy
You should paint Justin Swanstums car, he just paid 16000 for a paint job
😬 alittle much
Discovery channel paid for it 😄
@andrewshuford lol but dam what a waste
you didn't say or show how much reducer that you added to the 8;1 ratio
No reducer. I just used paint and hardener. Each product will be different though
@@ThePaintPaperHustle ok that paint must have been premixed with reducer ' thinner' i going just learning i am going to paint my car in backyard this year
@zcam1969 no it requires no reducer. Not all paint needs reducer. Some is thin enough right from manufacture. This stuffs in the thicker side though
Driver daily and ready to go
😉
@@ThePaintPaperHustle where did you buy your paint from
A local paint supplier called NCS
It was called an Earl Sheib paint job years ago. If you have no real care, have at it.
Yea everyone called it that bc that’s the company that did the cheap paint jobs like Maaco does now adays
Looks great for 100 dollars! 😂
Exactly lol
That will do. To each their own, but i see a lot of race cars with expensive paint jobs with $5 suspension and rats- nest wiring job. 😢😢
That is also true
If you filled that huge ass aluminum cup all the way and sprayed roof first your wrists are made off steel.
lol that’s what I do and they definitely feel it near the end
It's just paint 🎨
Absolutely
$400 or not.... You couldn't remove the badges? Damn
Well it’s my car and material was less than $400 that’s just the title. And no I didn’t feel like it on such a terrible job
Lol buff it man and be like new
Idk if this stuff would buff good lol
looks like it was painted with a wash pot and a broom
Yup that’s the whole point… very low end, cheap, poor quality hack job
that is not such a good price on that paint
🤷
Holy cow, that’s a lot of explaining and saying stuff multiple times. I had to fast forward to 15 mins
If explaining isn’t your thing then this channel ain’t for you bc that’s 75% of what we do is. Explain and teach. Preaching over and over. Thanks for watching
@@ThePaintPaperHustle I love learning and being taught, just not 17 times.
is Lexi your dog or girlfriend ? you call that race car ? smh
I did not call this a race car. I said we would pretend for viewer purposes. Lexi was my dog I lost to cancer.
Where can I get this paint. I want to paint my Chevrolet Express without putting too much time in bodywork, I need something that covers good like this paint.
Talk to your local paint supplier and ask them about their cheapest single stage trailer / equipment paint. That’s all you need. This is from my local supplier NCS
