Not a fan of dark colours but have to say i really like the colour you have chosen. Cant wait to see it on the car!! Have really enjoyed the journey, so much info for everyone.👍👍
Mate your an inspiration to us blokes like me that dont have a clue on restoring cars , just goes to show anyone can do it , you have come along way mate hold your head up high , beautiful build , i currently just started doing a hj47 landcruiser and started to watch your panel repair videos for help , i was so excited when you actually bought a landcruiser too , excited for that build 😀, cheers champion 👍
Thanks mate, always fires me up to finish it hearing feedback like that! Yes I can't wait to get stuck into the HJ45... Well I have been, but that vid is still in the making! 😬
Hey Aron Brendon from Bendigo. love the work your doing,great to see Ur having a go mate love all your progress in videos,I'm thinking same colour on my hq have to pop in perrows.great choice.keep up good work
Honestly it’s nice to see something different. Everyone will be able to tell that a lot of thought went into this build. It seems you are very happy with it and that’s all that matters. Great work, can’t wait to see it on the Ute!
@@BarnesysBuilds you’ll do fine, with everything else that you have done, you shouldn’t find paint too hard! Just control the dust if you are doing it in the shed and it’ll come out great.
Love the colour, but being a bit old school I like the chrome bumpers, chrome tail light surrounds and some original incorporated breaking it up enough so it doesn't look like it's been dipped in a pot of paint....You've done a superb job, bossing it..
Oh Christ yes! Metallic colour is where it’s at mate great choice ! It’ll look sick all done with chrome compliments and dark window tint !- just have a research on metallic paint application as it’s not as easy as solid colours but coupla quick tips would be to pull the tips off of a full fan (95% full fan ) 2/3 overlap instead of half overlap as this avoids tram tracking and steady hand of course to lay down the flake evenly - don’t be frightened to spend a litre on practice panels to get the gist man- have fun
Thanks Athony, I am going to try and minimise the base colour mottle effect by practise first, going to use the dusting layer at the start, 75% overlap and the final drop coat technique for the metallic to remove the risk of mottle and lines. It seems to be a very effective method as long as i have a good gun and decent product to work with as well which i will. The only big risk will be overspray as the booth does not have enough fan draw currently. I need to sort that out. I agree with the chrome and wheels adding to the paint! Getting pumped and nervous!
Love the colour!! I laughed when you used a Porsche to announce the colour choice. If you haven't seen the latest episode of Shenke Garage definitely watch it, I think you inspired him to make his channel and his latest episode is showing his mistakes while painting his tonner cab.
Thanks mate, yeah Porsche is the German Holden! Both built tuff as nails vehicles! I did see Shenkes episode, definitely something i will be looking out for, thats why i have gone polyester surfacer and spent a few more weeks on the body lines to get them right and to research metallic painting techniques that eliminate mottley effect. From my research, Mottle can happen for a few reasons, applying too many coats so the metallics pool together and bunch up, it can also be because of static in the panel and also not finishing with a drop coat which basically crop dusts the panel with metallic to feather out any patterns or lines.
Mint colour mate, will look absolutely stunning with your chrome accessories and wheels. Body work is coming up great too. You must be getting excited about getting some colour on it soon. Are you going to paint your engine the same colour?
Thanks Ray 👍 yeah defy getting excited and nervous, just want to get it laid down evenly. The engine block will be black, I will maybe paint the rocker covers the same colour though to tie it in. hope yours is traveling well!
@@BarnesysBuilds haven't had a lot of time on it lately, since getting back to a working life. But the engine has progressed well and should have it running on an engine stand in the coming weeks. Once it's going, I'm sure I'll get excited again and rip into it.
Yeah I like it mate. Nice metallics coming through. Make sure you do a drop coat to get them metallics standing up. When will you have it done ya reckon?
@@BarnesysBuilds put fresh plastic down everywhere maybe get a fan blowing the overspray out if you haven’t already . You’ll be alright mate . Put an extra coat of clear on it if it has a heap of dust
@@BogDustForBreakfast Yeah i was thinking i may even open one side of the booth and run a large fan to blow the overspray out, not sure yet. Also last question, any tips on a spraygun that would spray a dark silver metallic with less risk of mottling?
@@BarnesysBuilds the fan idea will work really well . Guns I love the walcom slim Kombat in 1.3 . Great all rounder for base and clear . Think they are $450.00 . If you want something better , go with the walcom genesi carbonio 360 light in 1.2mm. I own both guns and swear by them
@@BarnesysBuilds all guns will cause mottle , it’s basically due to mettalics landing flat and standing up which gives the mottle appearance. After you have full coverage of colour . Simply move gun back roughly an arms distance , lower pressure and dust a coat on . This will make the mettalics all stand up evening it all out plus once it’s cleared give it more sparkle .
@@BarnesysBuilds just buy a good quality spray gun paint can be a real pain at times we're spraying a EH prem in valley mist green its giving a few probs like blotching and a dry effect on final clear coat mainly on the lower part of the doors i'm self taught been doing body and paint for 40 years off and on and i still have come out wrong sometimes just trial & error most times😄
Love the colour choice👍. I see you are the master at blocking now lol, great work......1st time, B/C C/C, metallic, tricky colour....I know there's no convincing you to pay a pro to paint it in a booth so I'm wishing you luck, and don't be to hard on yourself if its not perfect, Knowledge and experience is under rated in the painting game.
Thanks Mark, Yeah i decided to extend my Blocking experience a few more weeks to get it right, defintely has paid off otherwise the bodywork would've been shit. I hear you with the PRO painter but for budget reasons and also self challenge it's not on the table. I am going to try and minimise the base colour mottle effect by practise first, going to use the dusting layer at the start, 75% overlap and the final drop coat technique for the metallic to remove the risk of mottle and lines. It seems to be a very effective method as long as i have a good gun and decent product to work with as well which i will. The only big risk will be overspray as the booth does not have enough fan draw currently. I need to sort that out. cheers
@@BarnesysBuilds Yep.. it sounds like you have done your home work, practice applying the base coat on as wet and even as you can (after the 1st coat of course so it has something to stick to). you should be good to go. If things aren't going to plan stop and solve the problems before the clear goes on. You'll practice on the engine bay and under side of bonnet etc 1st. Think like a ROBOT when handling the spray gun. Watch how the pro"s handle the gun and Don't get caught up in the way some of them are flicking it around, some of those guys are really good and it looks like they don't care where the paint is going, but they are watching closely and know exactly whats happening. Do some dry runs painting the hole car from start to finish, it sounds dumb but unless you have painted a few cars before this is the next best practice you can do. Mate I just don't want to see you do what Shenke Garage(youtube channel) has just done to he's Ute. Ok so he was using 3k worth of DNA paints(very tricky), trying to do it in he's shed, the average painter wouldn't attempt this, Not trying to scare you...practice👍look forward to seeing it in some colour.
@@markstone5593 Yeah I still have a lot of things to get in order before I am going to tackle it. Ordered a Walcom Kombat gun today 1.3 tip. The lesonal metallic paint seemed very easy to apply and won't break the bank, so I have a good gun, good paint, as I mentioned the booth is the weak point and obviously my strategy but I can work on that. I confident in my technique, I am used to be methodical like a robot in my job so it transfers over. I saw what happened to Skenke, worst part is he didn't even paint it, his professional mate did apparently. Thanks Mark

You're getting close now. And with the new paint job that will be the flashest bowl in the kitchen.

Hey Aron Brendon from Bendigo. love the work your doing,great to see Ur having a go mate love all your progress in videos,I'm thinking same colour on my hq have to pop in perrows.great choice.keep up good work
Hey Brendan, cheers mate, glad you got something out of them, might see you at Perrows one day.
Honestly it’s nice to see something different. Everyone will be able to tell that a lot of thought went into this build. It seems you are very happy with it and that’s all that matters.
Great work, can’t wait to see it on the Ute!
Thanks, yeah it will really come to life on the body, as long as I can lay it down correctky!

I agree, colour coding can look great but has to be done sparely, and thnaks, i'm giving it my best shot!
I reckon that color will look trick Azza. It's been fun watching the progress.
Cheers, I reckon it will as well!
Lookin good Barnsey!
I’ve been following all your build so far, you give us mere mortals hope!!!
Can’t wait to see the Ute painted👍🏼
Ha, thanks mate, yeah giving it a crack, fingers crossed!
Nice colour, good choice for a muscle ute
Great colour mate keen to see Er painted
Thanks mate, yeah not long now, fingers crossed I can get it on evenly!👍

great work Aaron , I'm about to paint my tonner in DNA candy base coat spilt blood.
Yeah nice, I really wanted to use the DNA paint but just couldn't get it over the line, the split blood is a beautiful colour.🤙
Superb colour choice mate. I’ll be doing my HQ ute the same or very similar. It really suits the lines of these utes 👌
Thanks mate, 👍 well if you ever do would be good to see it one day and compare!
Looking good Barnsey. Love the colour choice!
Thanks mate!
Yeah mate never no might bump in to ya.so what is the code or name on the tin of paint U had made up for colour.lookn forward more videos mate.cheers

Nice timeless, elegant colour.
Thanks mate🤙
I like the colour. A lot of restomod builds have colours that make me chunder, but your choice is going to look great on the WB.
Thanks mate, yeah the bright fluro colours don't appeal to me either!
Looks awesome mate, love it. Nice to see something different. Keep up the good work mate
Thanks mate, yeah it will be good to see it on the body lines. 🤙
Great colour mate 👍
Cheers mate🤙

Cheers, i reckon it will be sprayed at the tail end of the next 4 weeks, just got to weld the cowl in first.
Looks so good bro!!!
Thanks!
looking pretty good mate . cant wait to see it all painted and looking shmicko
Thanks mate, It's a great colour, i'm hoping i can do it justcice with my lack luster booth! That's going to be the biggest thing against me i think!

Love it mate, gunna be a killer colour 👍
Thanks mate! I hope I can do it justice by laying it down correctly!
colour looks ok but need to see the full effect once you spray the whole ute
sometimes it can look better once its in the daylight
Yeah definitely, I guess that's always a risk, I think it should be fine, my concern is the application.!
@@BarnesysBuilds just buy a good quality spray gun

just trial & error most times😄
Well done mate I’ve been watching this build from the start I really was wondering what colour you were gonna go for don’t mind the bronze
Thanks mate, yeah it's a very subtle bronze but should give it a little difference.
Will look mint! Keep your chrome bumpers though!
Cheers!, Yeah might have to look at a new bumper as the old one is pretty shabby now!
Happy new year Barnsy. That colour will be awesome 👍
Happy new year Tony, thanks mate👍

Love the color mate . It's going 2 pop
Thanks mate!
great color choice, one tip ,the term styleside is a big No NO in h land, just a ute, trust me, you will get hammered
Ha, ok mate, i need to join a club once she's done so i can get involved with the lingo!
Sorry mate, you lost me when you said 'styleside'. Check what it is please.
Some say styleside some say tub, does it really matter? It's a ute. What do you call it?
