In younger years we'd paint our cars with what we called the 100 dollar paint job. A gallon of tremclad on sale, any old sand paper will do that's on sale, grab a gallon of varsol and give 'er. Well, in the end at least it was all one color. We'd all be back slapping each other saying oh ya that's really cool.....lol.
My Dad use to do that Use the Tremclad then add in Reducer to thin it out so that it could spray through the spray nozzle he painted his old Chevelle SS $11 paint job and it came out So Shinny like a Mirror, he didn't use a garage he did it on a very hot Sunny Day in the backyard, I remember with in 1 hour it was totally Dried to touch.
Varasol, now that's something I haven't heard in a long time! Back in the 80s dad used to bring some from the wire mill and I'd clean engine parts with it... I remember one time him bringing in a fresh can (bucket) home and told me to clean up an oil pan off a 396 bb. And I wasn't used to fresh varasol and look here....that stuff turned my hands white! It pulled all the oil out my skin 😅😅 dad said, you'll learn to stick your hands just in everything lol
Thats A LOT of orange peel brother. Always best if your inexperienced with painting and spraying to pick the slowest reducer possible. That way the material can flow out flat on its own . HOWEVER amazing job for what you guys used
@@chappelloutdoors3795 when the paint texture looks like an orange. Happens after most paint jobs unless the painter is really experienced and sprays even coats throughout the whole spray. Usually can just wet sand and buff it out smooth
Hope you got all the orange peel sorted out. It’s great you took the initiative in putting some love into this old girl. Best way to learn is to do it. Just prioritize sanding/prepping and gun settings and you’ll be golden
Just keep watching him and you will learn how it's done. Great job on this! $200, wow! Someone would have charged him 2000. You have to learn how to do it the cheap way.
Def possible I think he means in materials not including the gun and all that. 1 gallon of black base coat around 80.00 1 gallon of clear coat kit 70.00 is 20-35 grams of color pearl Mica 15.00 Roll of paper 6.00 amazon Tape amazon 10.00 Def doable under 200.00
@@jasonhare4840you forgot plastic, reducer, wax and grease remover, tack clothes, sand paper, and tax for all supplies. Also the black must have been a sealer or primer, if not then once it dries you will see all kinds of things shrink back because of paint soaking into old paint. Ain't no way you gonna make it under 200.
About four more coats of clear and a crap ton of wet sanding and you'll have a showroom finish. I like the black base because it'll look black at night but in the sun it'll pop with all that flake in it.
Darn right brother That's a back in the day paint job right there That's the way we used to do it in our garages no spray booth visqueen water the floor.
Swank. Nice job, Hermano. I don't give a flying blank about the orange peel if it's one tenth the cost of a cheap pro job and it's keeping the rust (and bored troopers) away. That's 1800 bucks worth of shocks and bushings and tires and a carb and bearings and filters and brakes... Besides a lot of orange peel is nowhere near as embarrassing as "Authentic Patina" (Nausea).
Yea I do because they actually are trying it them selves if you don't try you'll never know so stop hating and keep scrolling😂😂...we get people at our shop from time to time asking for advice.
Guys, the basecoat doesn't go on very wet and is not supposed to flow-out. The clear is what you want to flow nice and smooth. I Think the base is what you see in the video .Have a great day!!😊
Single stage acrylic enamel with a medium temperature reducer with a gloss hardner!! Dupont Centauri and a few drops of fish eye remover was the best!!
Hey! You wet the floor down! Hell yeah thats how you do it! extra bonus smooth tip. Run a regular old humidifier overnight before hand Super bonus tip, run a halloween fog machine a couple hours before
@@ikonik6286 yeah. Wetting down a floor keeps you from kicking up any dust and makes the paint job smoother. Most basic thing you can do is prepare your space the night before get everything ready and then soak the floor. Then first thing when you are ready to pain soak the floor again. Gently though. The humidifier reduces static by alot, that and the water being absorbed by airborne particles helps the particles fall out of the air. Start it up the night before as well. The fog machine does the same thing but on turbo and will get rid of anything left over.
For a DIY, this is great. My only criticism is I would have taken the bed off to get the back of the cab. I'm trying to get the inspiration to respray my Chevy. This is cool to see.
I desire one of these, so badly 😢, but with the single seat/couch to receive my girlfriend’ hug while 🎵🎶driving slow on Sunday morning 👍🎶🎵. And that’s the perfect size…street tires but still 4wd for snowy days or muddy situations. Manuals transmission, a warm stereo setup, working heater… just perfect
I’m not an expert but I’d say no on the. Compression tank. Need a continuous duty compressor must guns need 10-12 cfm to work properly. “Which mine wasn’t” haha I used a 40$ harbor freight spray gun, and found someone with a compressor that would let me use it. Bought some tint at Napa. And used some left over clear from another job.
The color is sweet! Im looking for a Darker Blue with a little purplish hue to it like this, but even more darker like a Black Cherry Purple/Midnight Purple Blue. what pressure were you running your gun at?
All he needs to do is lay the clear on a little heavier on the first coat and he will have a way better result but for a garage paint job looked pretty good
I was going to comment about the initial orange peeling, as those coats looked pretty thick, but you sorted it out nicely in the end 👍. Did you clear coat it afterwards, or just buff it shiny?
Paint is ok just the compressor and the gun needed a little tweaking and a slower thinner would have of helped a lot but it does not forgive drips, if it has enough clear and get wet sanded and buffed it can be turned into a show finish. Anyways all these little first time mistakes are tuition for the next time, truck looks amazing and most importantly it didn't cost much.
@@wickedgunguys8144 i know it was painted very accurately without the need to go over and over again or overspray it so to create drips, but some people rather use and suggest slow thinner/reducer especially if you are not familiar with it so to give it the time to sit evenly and cover by its self, but in my experience so far i paint cars outside i prefer to use something that depending on the weather gets the paint on it to dry quickly enough to be just wet so the overlap merges the paint that is being sprayed to the one that is already sprayed, if i can't touch it in 2 minutes anything more than that without painting in a paint booth has done more harm than good in my cases. Btw if you want even cheaper paint and can get ahold of nitro lacquer you can use that to paint a car, you can mix it pearl, metals etc as normally and create an awesome paint job, and it fills imperfections by its self and is 1/3 of the car paint price at least in Europe, but i strongly suggest to use a clear coat. Used it to paint cars for many years but without a clear it fades faster than enamel under the sun.

Agreed she’s real peely haha , But luckily I new and expert with a buffer and he smoothed it out pretty good 👍
@@wickedgunguys8144 nice! Yea as long as you get enough material on you can always cut it down
What is orange peel?
@@chappelloutdoors3795 when the paint texture looks like an orange. Happens after most paint jobs unless the painter is really experienced and sprays even coats throughout the whole spray. Usually can just wet sand and buff it out smooth
That's a new color it's called blue orange haze
Thanks alot for showing everybody show to do a classic Tijuana job. You nailed it.😢😜
You’d be surprised them mfs made my old Audi paint looking glossy af

@@LC-go1uh what are you even talking about, what would I have to learn from this
Ain't no way you bought tape, primer, plastic, basecoat,clear coat, and reducer for under 200 😂
Yup! I was wondering the same. Tremclad works surprisingly well though.
Maybe the supplies, but the paint gun setup definitely blew out the budget.
Def possible I think he means in materials not including the gun and all that.
1 gallon of black base coat around 80.00
1 gallon of clear coat kit 70.00 is
20-35 grams of color pearl Mica 15.00
Roll of paper 6.00 amazon
Tape amazon 10.00
Def doable under 200.00

This guy knows what he’s doing

Way better than before. Good back yard paint job.
I would have used white instead of black the blue would have popped out more otherwise very beautiful paint job
The music is incredible!
got to lay that paint down a bit heavier so it wets out and you don't get so much orange peel. that color looks awesome though, nice results for $200
Tyres came out nice.
Helps alot when you know what ypur doing 😊
Darn right brother That's a back in the day paint job right there That's the way we used to do it in our garages no spray booth visqueen water the floor.
Only way to roll!
Came out looking great!
That color is amazing it wakes up the whole truck
Good video great job
Clean!
That blue would look so much nicer with gray primer instead of black.
Or white primer...

AS an old Ford lover and a patina HATER, I totally agree with you!
That's a pretty good job for $200.00 ! Thin the paint for the orange peel, it been a awesome job ! 👍

WOW! Very nice!!
Gotta love the ole bull nose, almost like my 81 f150 300 straight 6 with a 4 speed granny it was originally midnight blue when it was first bought
Looks nice 👍🏼 good job!
Looks awesome. I love that color.
It's a pretty darn good job for a DIY.

I love those bull-nosed Fords. Always thought they were the best looking. I wish I still had my 1980 F100.
Look up a 1962 F-100 way better looking!
Ole bull nose that brings back memories watching this makes me miss my ole 80 bull nose really more
Single stage acrylic enamel with a medium temperature reducer with a gloss hardner!! Dupont Centauri and a few drops of fish eye remover was the best!!
Never seen a blue orange before..❤
Good job. Nice color for the truck
Is it me or does the music make the paint job even better? 😂
Your cutting & buffing man was on point!
Awesome job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥
Hey! You wet the floor down! Hell yeah thats how you do it!

Turn your air pressure down , hood is all dry sprayed and textured like grip tape . Using dark and light grey primer will change tone of paint .
Sweet ! Thanks for the tips !
Nice advice your giving
Was looking almost good until he started clear coating, but the hand steady is what will make you better
Looks amazing!
Brah thats fire!
Looks good there is a additive that u can mix with paint to stop orange peel
Ah good to know !
For a DIY, this is great. My only criticism is I would have taken the bed off to get the back of the cab.
I'm trying to get the inspiration to respray my Chevy. This is cool to see.
100% agree, but we were using up old product, except the blue tint .. and I’m lazy haha.
Get that Chevy done!
Good enough for an old truck, looks great!
what is the best brand paint to use, as well as primer and clear coat? We are doing our 1985 k20
Sorry to bother you, but could you list your materials and equipment? (I've got two old beaters of my own to paint) Thanks.
If car painters are asking for an arm and leg, why not do it yourself.
5k minimum they said 💀
Did you finish up with a buff and polish ?
20-20 paint job. Looks good from 20ft away, going 20mph
Looks real good tho
Not much more orange peel than I see on the cars at the dealership for a diy project you killed it looks great
Love the music on repeat
The blue orange 😅 nothing a wet sand and buff can't fix will look sweet buffed out 👍
Nice!!! 👍👍👍

It's all good👍
Spray pressure way to low buddy, that's why the droplets are so big on truck. It's not atomizing.
Good stuff!
As long as he ( the owner ) likes it, all that matters.
Looks Great
Need chrome Rims
Ill be painting my hardbody a very similar blue!
She looks good man 👍👍😎😎😎😎
Looks just like bed liner.
That Clear was Laid on Drier Than a Popcorn Fart
Lol fr
I can just imagine the amount of sanding that guy had to do after words 😂😂😂
Looking good 👍
It should polish out nice after a good wetsanding.
I like it
Beautiful color
What paint did you use? if you mixed your paint what did you use
Beautiful 👍
Love the color
Great job
Looks really good. Thats like a midnight blue if I remember correctly. Ford Color. Came on 87 Rangers. My brother had one. Midnoght Blue Metallic.
Remember the green 87 Ranger?
@@footballfan7771 no
Looks good
What a beauty great jov
you got the gun, you got the music, git on widit, man!
good job, to bad the wheels flares on the back don't match the front.
Wow! What paint did you use?
When the music was better then the video.
Awsome job for eeekend paint job great we lord
Thing of beauty
it says its original music...well done!!
Now all you need is to either get new wheels and tires or fix and shine those

I need y'all to do my truck lol.
The color is sweet! Im looking for a Darker Blue with a little purplish hue to it like this, but even more darker like a Black Cherry Purple/Midnight Purple Blue.
what pressure were you running your gun at?
What materials was all that..looks awewome
Not bad! Your gun looks to be spraying really dry, or not enough “material”, a small adjustment could make it lay down flat.
I love it. No need for primer cause it's a ford
All he needs to do is lay the clear on a little heavier on the first coat and he will have a way better result but for a garage paint job looked pretty good
