      The way you did this giveaway is honestly a bit sad and disappointing. Now instead of the car being given out fairly with everyone having equal chance and likely to a fan for which the car will mean a lot or can't afford to buy a car like this, this car will go to someone who can afford to buy more tickets.
      There is nothing inherently wrong it but its just disappointing.

    7:45 What I think happened here was that your first coat didn't adhere properly because of surface contamination (oil/grease) then you laid wet paint on top of wet paint before hitting it with a heat gun which caused it to shrivel up like a ballbag in an ice bath.
    Step 1 - Lightly scuff the surface of the part with 400 grit sandpaper or a scotchbrite pad
    Step 2 - thoroughly clean the part to remove all dust
    Step 3 - degrease the part
    Step 4 - give the part a light dust coat of paint (assuming it's not something that needs primer) and give it enough time to completely dry
    Step 5 - Give the part another light coat and allow to dry (repeat until colour is uniform)
    Step 6 - Give it a good 24hrs for the paint to properly harden if you don't want to end up with dents and imperfections
    Prep and patience is the key to good paint, you can't rush it. If you've got time to clean the crash bar, you've got time to do the paint right.

    the current 1 off episodes of a car is great too! but i don't feel as much connection to a car rebuild/repair as we don't spend as much episodes on them compared to the old "Bananaru"
    EDIT: something similar to the Porsche rebuild of when this channel started was amazing, and I really loved it, so perhaps a long form rebuild videos like that?

  • @Lindeman08
    @Lindeman08 2 месяца назад +3

    I do some model painting in my spare time and spray painting isn't rocket science. The surface needs to be properly cleaned, degreased and dry. Then you lay down a THIN coat from a fixed distance away with only a few passes. After that you let it fully dry before you do another coat. Repeat until the colour looks even and nothing of the base colour/material shines through. You absolutely do not put a heat gun on it but it helps if the workspace is well ventilated for moisture to escape.
    Anyhow, love the content guys!

    Also for spraying more or less every kind of aerosol:

    Leaving at -least- the quoted drying time of somewhere between 15-25mins between coats to let the vapour out
    I've been there 😂 if you've got doubts about compatibility of the paint already in there or maybe oil contamination. Use some etch primer first, or better yet vht primer and your odds of success improve greatly 😊

    As a heads-up, with that steering wheel it STILL won't pass an MOT as it needs a steering wheel with an airbag.
    MOT states if it was supplied with an airbag from factory, it needs one now.

    Yearly MOT seems like quite a pain. Every US state is different, some have something like that, but most don't. In my state, once you buy a vehicle it never needs another inspection. It only has to get inspected if you want to sell it.

      double edged sword, on the other hand yearly mot is pain, but then you know you dont have rust buckets with wheels hanging off on the road. Or just generally unsafe cars in general 🤔

    Because tracks are quite often near domestic areas and the noise travels very very far. I have family that live about 3 miles from donington, and on a clear day, you can hear the track time from the house. So there’s a need to prevent excessive influence on surrounding neighbourhoods.

      Donington is also in the flight path for East Midlands Airport. I don't think they have a 100db limit for wide body jets though.
