I am a painter of 30yrs. I think you did very very good. Hardest panels on a car to paint with spray can are bonnet roof boot lid. I hold my hat off to you. All those who gave thumbs down are just jealous you proved them wrong
Hello Sir, I am planning to repaint my hyundai i30(black) but i dont know how to do. I got little idea after watching this video however i am not confident to do. So, I would be very grateful if you suggest me what stuff i need to buy. Thank you so much
How are those flat surfaces harder to do than the vertical surfaces? Less chance of runs. Less chance of uneven thickness. I thought vertical panels were the hardest.
I keep coming back here for reference. I'm very appreciative of your willingness to share your knowledge in a straightforward way. You keep it really simple for the average person who doesn't have all the "right" resources and tools.
for people who are going to attempt this i work at a auto body shop, use alot of water, dont press hard let the paper do the work, and sand in a x not back and forth and dont stay on one spot too long this is because it will cause a divit that is noticable once the paint is dry
Freak job buddy !!👍👍👍👍 You go straight to the point ... Some youtubers do too much talking that has nothing to do with the presentation ... Thank you ...
Good job - the only small tip i would advise is keep a rag with some thinners or turps handy to use on the rag, so you can regularly wipe the spray nozzle of the rattle can as you spray the panels. Often you get a buildup of paint on the nozzle and it will impact the spray pattern or even worse cause a drip onto your fresh paint
I have watched the video, and when the gentleman brought the vehicle outdoors...... I was shocked in admiration for the high quality (glossy) results yielded by the work done! It is simply inspiring for DIYers! That vehicle's hood is astonishingly nice looking!!!
I feel like the hardest part of doing all of this is finding an indoor spot to work on your car. : No wind, no harsh sunlight, no heavy dust, no outdoor debris, etc.
It’s a rattle can paint job. You can even see in his paint, there’s a lot of trash in his paint. This is usually fairly easy to get out. Wet sand the car to remove the a small bit of clear coat, then buff it all out.
OMG that's an amazing finish. In the 1980's I repainted half of a Triumph Dolomite with spray cans, it ended up looking great and nobody would believe that I did it myself. But that was light blue and single pack cellulose, which is much easier.
I was actually looking up videos on how to remove pinstripes and came across your fender job, watched it and was super impressed...of course I had to watch how you did the hood, and of course I was very impressed!!! You Sir, are a magician with your spray cans, awesome job brother!!! 💯🙌🏾💯
Incredible job on this car hood. These are the kind of videos that people enjoy because they come to the point of the problem and initiate the solution. The end result proves the expertise behind the whole process. Keep up the great videos. Enjoyed it, Thanks ...Billy / Albq N.M. 6 / 25 / 2023
I'm in Oz, and have a 1990 TP Magna wagon. There are a number of rust bubbles on the hood. This video is exactly what I was looking for. IMO, it is a 5 Star video. Top work (with a rattle can!?) and very well presented. Thank you, I really appreciate this!
there is a very good reason for that. most of the time rattle cans leave what's called an "orange peel" effect. I'll just about bet (although I'm not a betting man) that between the time he finished up inside and took it outside he did a wet sand then compound then polish then waxed it, to make it look like that. now, of course, that means that more than likely there was a 2 to 4 week time span in between finishing up inside and taking it outside.
@@DonaldMelton Not necessarily, when sprayed on as lightly as it was but at the right distance, 2K paint flattens itself out and provides quite a good gloss. More so with spray cans than with a gun though. Not sure why but that's just how it be
i guess a man would have to get good at the spray cans . practice, practice, practice LOL . for myself i've always ended up with the "orange peel" effect.
Don't have any intention of painting a hood on a car but I found it really satisfying. Looks ace and I love cars. Clear instructions that don't need to be spoken the double coats in the dips that were clearly shown. Great video if people watched this they could save themselves money.
Wow that is really nice! I just did a motorcycle restoration and did a lot of rattle can painting on engine parts. It came out great. As you've shown here, good prep and lots of coats gives you a great finish. It took me a few trys on my project to get it to look OK but I was happy with the results!
did you do it? how did it turn out? because I tried that technique and i got tons of orange peel. also tried sanding the clear coat after and it coat stained brown :(
hey ,if anyone else wants to discover car paint spraying tutorial try Corbandy Car Sprayer Crusher (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my work buddy got amazing results with it.
The original paint isn’t his fault. I have not seen a Santa Fe from that time (I have a 04) that doesn’t have that type of damage. The point is decent preparation with less than ideal material can yield a good result. 10 or 15 years, maybe not but he isn’t claiming that.
@@spliteone base coat metalics don't have hardener and are 50% by volume thinners, the same solvents used in acrylic lacquer. Most failed paint is more to do with incorrect preparation than anything else. When 2k urethanes first came out a lot of professionals continued to use 1k primers with no problems whatsoever.
Just done my mk 2 focus front bumper. Yes I wore overalls and an air fed mask! The 2k rattle can is awesome, gives an almost factory finish, once I flatted with 1500, then 2000 grit, g3 then polished, it's now like glass! Awesome vid by the way!
Thanks for doing this video! I followed step by step and this evening sprayed the primer, tomorrow I'll paint then clear coat. I watched another video and the fellow sanded the 2K clear coat then polished it. Seemed like a hassle to me and really put me off even starting the job on mums faded 02 Forester. You've just demonstrated that the extra sanding and polishing is not needed, yay! Next I'll attempt the roof.. Thank you!
I like how you said it's an excellent results for an aerosol can. Have you ever seen how mercedes paint looks like from the factory? This is an excellent results in general, 9/10 I would say, not just for a rattle cans 👍
good job man! when I rattle can I always use 4coats for that just in case. I also 2000 grit wet sand before clear coat. just my technique. Good job though
same hear!! daughter's '96 mustang is basically red..but with black trim. did add new head lights,tail lights,bullit gas cover...and some other stuff...but the hood.... is bad! just put everything in my cart from auto zone and it's less than 40. gonna do the middle area where a hood scoop would go.
Just resrayed my Toyota Soluna. Used TOA spray paint. Came out fantastic. A tip that I found out. The best filler spray is Chrome spray paint. excellent for filling in scratches and paint that has reacted with the new paint. The Chrome covers thickly and fills, as important no runs. Then stray over the top with your colour paint. Good video. Thank you for posting it. All the best from sunny Thailand.
Awesome job, I am using this as my guide in a few weeks.... My winter truck and work truck, 2004 Nissan Titan with 180k miles, hood , one side wheel well, other was fixed in accident.... screw the pros posting, this is a working man's paint job, got for a years on a high mileage
Great video! Thanks, it would be very helpful to note how long you have to wait after each coat from primer to base to clear. I get very impatient before applying the next coat.
YOU NEED TO WARN PEOPLE ABOUT THE 2k CLEAR COAT!!!! Cover all of your skin and wear a respirator!!! The 2k clear coat contains isocyanate!! BTW, the paint job looks good!
Fumes and paint fumes can easily leach through regular particle masks not made for it, your skin, and even your eyeballs. Get a gas mask with facial covering , or a 3m mask with rated cartridges and adequate goggles, also a painting suit from the hardware store that's rated for the materials you are using . Good way to avoid nerve damage, sickness etc.
I did this on my 66 mustang years ago, aldo did the dash. Looked good. But recently for my pontiac g5 gt I just sanded, cleaned, and then vinyl wrapped the hood, grill, roof, and trunk top, and spoiler top. Looks darn good, and cost me about $75 in materials and was pretty quick to install. Less than an hour for the hood as an example. Both are good, inexpensive alternatives to getting a pro job done especially on an older car.
cut and buff before clear? then degrease/tack? Coming from detailing trying to repaint my own car. How much cut, and what do you use for buff? I'm used to cutting compound/polish
You are a great guy I just did my hood for my 98 c43 amg Benz! I did it step by step, I made a ton of mistakes it’s not perfect but wow it came out amazing!! So shiny!!. I wouldn’t have even thought about trying without watching your video. Thanks a million!!!
This may be the most informative video ive seen so far. im about to try to re paint my car but start with a test panel and this makes it sound so much more simple. Thank you
Well that (whether Irish Guinness, Gaelic Luck or whatever !) is an outstanding job Monsieur. Incredible and a very useful and practical film. Thanks !
@@thelegend1055 It went great! Looks like a brand new bike and only cost me £130 for all of the paint and not the £900 I got quoted a respray. Just follow the vid and you can't go wrong
I don't know if he said, but I'm guessing it was about $100 (US) worth of paint. The primer and clear would be a bit less since they're assembly-line produced, but the Hyundai can was likely between $45 and $70 since it was a special mix. Still, awesome job, and it beats either living with the crap, or paying even more to have it done.
I am amazed that so little did so much. I am in-process on my 96 Jeep's roof, and I have burned up 6 cans of Dupli-Color and 6 cans of clear coat and now going through the buffing and polishing phase, because I got nothing near that that nice icy finish after the 72-hour cure. Smooth areas and rough areas [to the touch].
Mate, great videos! I have an E350 with 190k miles on the clock. Before the summer is out I want to try and tidy up a lost of nasty chips on the bonnet and some other marks. Your videos will be a great help! Thanks.
This is awesome! I've been given a quote of a grand to do this on a small side panel on an Audi. Having watched this, I think I can give it a go! bought a new panel and paint for under £80.. If it works I'll just get them to fit mine, if not, no great loss. The video is very clear! Thanks for posting!
I was ready to leave a comment that it didn’t turn out good. But boy was I in for a surprise. Came out amazing considering you used spray cans. Well done buddy. 👍
it's 100% been wet sanded, compounded and polished after the clear coat as you can see lots of dust in the paint 11:20 yet once outside the dust in the paint is all gone
not telling you how to talk but that name that is above every name is worshipped by millions of christians around the world. Leave his name out of your exclamation. funny , i never hear anyone say buddha, allah !
Thanks for this video mate. I have Several question about Black color guide to detect imperfections: 1. Should I spray all hood area or just as thin as possible? 2. What is next step after I found those imperfections spot after sanding primer? Should I continue sanding it until it's gone? (On the video you let it there) Thanks & Cheers
I plan on following your directions on the hood of my wifes older car. Its really bad from weathering the over clear coat etc. I will be happy if it even comes out 1/2 as good as yours did. Thanks for the video.
Looks absolutely incredible man what an informative lesson you gave us all here on RUclips! I'm very impressed with your skills and I'm thankful to have found your channel to which I am a now subscriber too, keep posting awesome videos I'm looking forward to learning from them . 😎👍🏽
So... it's been 2 1/2 years since you painted this hood.... can you show some updated photos/videos? Does it still look this good? I've read where this kind of DIY job doesn't last that long. Thanks.
Great video. How many cans did you use for the clear and the paint? Im planning on doing this to my truck and I would like to get an idea before I start.
This is a very good job.Excellent. For most people doing a rattle can job the results wont approach this quality or shine, not even close. The job will be just OK and save you a lot of money. if there are rust spots etc it is even harder.
I’m actually here because I recently started sanding my classic truck thanks this video helped a lot because I do not have the money to buy professional equipment!😁👍🏻
You painted that damn hood so professionally that now the rest of the car looks like it needs a repaint lol Did you have to polish the clear or those are the results after a polish??
Mad4Motors watched your video again lol. If I was to clear coat a 2002 Corolla how many clear coat cans do you think it would take going over entire car 3 times. Thanks in advance.
Professional auto painter here just got to give credit where it’s due for using a 2K clearcoat 2K is the only way to go if you’re clearing anything very nice work very well done for rattle can
Impressive m8 well done....ive been painting for years and achieved what most painters deemed impossible with the tools i have i.e cheap spray guns etc.....great to orove em wrong lol
I only just found this video randomly and I have an alfa romeo that needs a respray which I want to do myself. My question is how many cans of paint did you use for the fender and th hood?
Steve. I would buy a case (12 cans) of paint and a case of clear cost just to have it if you find you need it. And you might have to stop and sand away some of your work because you are learning. Nothing worse than having to run to the local auto store hoping they might have your color - which they usually don't - all while you last coat is drying longer than the instructions demand.
@@christopherkelley773 i need u bro . I had a joker paint and cover up a couple rust hole on my silver civic..hes a joke. He sanded first, over rust , then bondo( put bondo on thick too) then prime, then paint, now it dried and looks a mess..not smooth at all. So to fix it..? I have to sand smoothly? ( what grit) then prime ? Then re paint ? Can u help bro..?
Brilliant as always.. but you are a rare perfectionist but a great teacher... ive watched everything you post... still want you take on my mk1 golf tho... 😊
Wow! Beautiful job. (I don't need to paint MINE, either, but you did such a great job...with such wonderful results....couldn't stop watching. That SHINE is spectacular!
I would degrease the panel after washing and before sanding. Oddly enough degreasing can cause fish-eye. BTW, the larger the sanding block, the fewer low spots you'll end up with. A small block tends to "ride" into the contours, while a larger block doesn't. The second coat of clear should be applied at a right angle to the first coat rather than following along your previous spray pattern.
Thanks for your in-depth videos. I have subscribed and liked…. I have a 2015 range rover evoke pure plus, and I was looking on RUclips to Repair my passenger front bumper attached to my fender that has a very long crack that happens to a lot of these models and I wanted to paint it myself after fixing it and now I know I can do it…. Many thank you’s my friend ❤
Turd coat lol 😄 makes me laugh every time.. Only paint one area at a time with rattle cans . Painting a hood and panels at same time can become exspensive and your arm gets tired
" finding an indoor spot to work on your car."------ Agreed. The last time I tried spraying a junker I realized I would have to find a more sheltered Lay By next time.

1K primer and clear coat sucks, easy to sctrach, dent, bubbles sometimes. It's not the same as 2K, that why body shops use 2K
Nice 👍 real nice did you buff and polish it and where do you get that clear coat?

I am a painter of 30yrs. I think you did very very good. Hardest panels on a car to paint with spray can are bonnet roof boot lid. I hold my hat off to you. All those who gave thumbs down are just jealous you proved them wrong
I used to live in London for ten years I have seen really crap jobs done by "professionals". This guy is amazing.
Hello Sir,
I am planning to repaint my hyundai i30(black) but i dont know how to do. I got little idea after watching this video however i am not confident to do. So, I would be very grateful if you suggest me what stuff i need to buy.
Thank you so much
I concur.
I need to do this on my car v hoods and roof
How are those flat surfaces harder to do than the vertical surfaces? Less chance of runs. Less chance of uneven thickness. I thought vertical panels were the hardest.
Didn't have a sanding block so went out and bought a new TV for the styrofoam. Thanks for the tip!
🤣

I keep coming back here for reference. I'm very appreciative of your willingness to share your knowledge in a straightforward way. You keep it really simple for the average person who doesn't have all the "right" resources and tools.
for people who are going to attempt this i work at a auto body shop, use alot of water, dont press hard let the paper do the work, and sand in a x not back and forth and dont stay on one spot too long this is because it will cause a divit that is noticable once the paint is dry
Thanks so much. I'm pretty much an amateur so I'm looking for any tips that I can
Sand in an x as in diagonal one way on the whole hood, and then diagonal the other way?
@@trashbandit2449 yep
Thank you. I appreciate your help.
Also don’t spray as close as he did, about 2 more inches back or so
Freak job buddy !!👍👍👍👍
You go straight to the point ...
Some youtubers do too much talking that has nothing to do with the presentation ...
Thank you ...
Good job - the only small tip i would advise is keep a rag with some thinners or turps handy to use on the rag, so you can regularly wipe the spray nozzle of the rattle can as you spray the panels. Often you get a buildup of paint on the nozzle and it will impact the spray pattern or even worse cause a drip onto your fresh paint
Watching this makes me wanna go buy spray paint and find something to go paint 🤗
Can I hire you to paint my car? I live in Canada!
wait! I need my toyota seqoia done lol I'm near the beach in Northern panhandle Florida. lol

Did all in an afternoon during winter so clear coat was cloudy till spring now looks great
@@LS17EAGLE how's it looking now?

Well that (whether Irish Guinness, Gaelic Luck or whatever !) is an outstanding job Monsieur. Incredible and a very useful and practical film. Thanks !
Great video mate. Straight to the point, no unnecessary waffle. 👍🏽
Great vid, inspired me to re-paint my harley. Iv never done a project this big before. Ill let you know how it turns out.
How did it go???
@@thelegend1055 It went great! Looks like a brand new bike and only cost me £130 for all of the paint and not the £900 I got quoted a respray. Just follow the vid and you can't go wrong
The question of how many cans was answered way, way down below.
He said he used:
2 primer, 1 base, 1 clear
thanks.
One can was enough?! Too bad it probably requires practice.
I don't know if he said, but I'm guessing it was about $100 (US) worth of paint. The primer and clear would be a bit less since they're assembly-line produced, but the Hyundai can was likely between $45 and $70 since it was a special mix.
Still, awesome job, and it beats either living with the crap, or paying even more to have it done.
I am amazed that so little did so much. I am in-process on my 96 Jeep's roof, and I have burned up 6 cans of Dupli-Color and 6 cans of clear coat and now going through the buffing and polishing phase, because I got nothing near that that nice icy finish after the 72-hour cure. Smooth areas and rough areas [to the touch].
My car is blue color, i will by 2 primer, 1 base and 1 clear. Which one must i buy in blue. Thank you so much
Love your vids mate. So clear and easy to follow. Its given me the confidence to start my own project. Keep up the great work!!
Mate, great videos!
I have an E350 with 190k miles on the clock. Before the summer is out I want to try and tidy up a lost of nasty chips on the bonnet and some other marks. Your videos will be a great help! Thanks.
This is awesome! I've been given a quote of a grand to do this on a small side panel on an Audi. Having watched this, I think I can give it a go! bought a new panel and paint for under £80.. If it works I'll just get them to fit mine, if not, no great loss. The video is very clear! Thanks for posting!
Amazing work! I using your techniques to tackle my car's clear coat issues. I know my will look better than a cheap paint job at a local shop.
AT LAST!!! Someone tackling the dreaded topcoat ... thank you for posting this video... and i've subbed too! :)
I was ready to leave a comment that it didn’t turn out good. But boy was I in for a surprise. Came out amazing considering you used spray cans.
Well done buddy. 👍
Well there not just any spray cans there 20 dollars each mixed to the same paint number as the car
@@alesmendozaroman5870 still spray paints from a can. Not a compressor.
Been working on cars for 30 years. Never heard of making a sanding block from styrofoam. Awesome idea!! 👍
its great for polishing too, I polished an entire grand piano by hand using a little piece of styrofoam.
Best video on youtube showing how the job is done on basics
it's 100% been wet sanded, compounded and polished after the clear coat as you can see lots of dust in the paint 11:20 yet once outside the dust in the paint is all gone
Why do idiots like you always have a negative thing to say,, theres always at least one of you assholes every time....DICK!
No it hasn’t ye twat
I’m reading these comments in his accent
Kevin Maiko.....😆
LMFAO
Bro me fucking too
Kevin Maiko lmfao!!! I didn’t even realize I was doing the same!!! 😂
go to pant
Jesus christ!! that came out better than i would have thought !
Hey thanks
not telling you how to talk but that name that is above every name is worshipped by millions of christians around the world. Leave his name out of your exclamation. funny , i never hear anyone say buddha, allah !
Fuckin Christ. People gotta chill. God damn..
@@richardlangil5798 What's your father's or mother's name Richard? Perhaps we can use that instead?
‘Not telling you how to talk...’ then going on to tell you how to talk.
Thanks for this video mate. I have Several question about Black color guide to detect imperfections:
1. Should I spray all hood area or just as thin as possible?
2. What is next step after I found those imperfections spot after sanding primer? Should I continue sanding it until it's gone? (On the video you let it there)
Thanks & Cheers
I plan on following your directions on the hood of my wifes older car. Its really bad from weathering the over clear coat etc. I will be happy if it even comes out 1/2 as good as yours did. Thanks for the video.
Looks absolutely incredible man what an informative lesson you gave us all here on RUclips! I'm very impressed with your skills and I'm thankful to have found your channel to which I am a now subscriber too, keep posting awesome videos I'm looking forward to learning from them . 😎👍🏽
So... it's been 2 1/2 years since you painted this hood.... can you show some updated photos/videos? Does it still look this good? I've read where this kind of DIY job doesn't last that long. Thanks.
1 year since you asked and no reply.
Great video. How many cans did you use for the clear and the paint? Im planning on doing this to my truck and I would like to get an idea before I start.
This is a very good job.Excellent. For most people doing a rattle can job the results wont approach this quality or shine, not even close. The job will be just OK and save you a lot of money. if there are rust spots etc it is even harder.
I’m actually here because I recently started sanding my classic truck thanks this video helped a lot because I do not have the money to buy professional equipment!😁👍🏻
You painted that damn hood so professionally that now the rest of the car looks like it needs a repaint lol
Did you have to polish the clear or those are the results after a polish??
Did anyone ever answer this in the comment list? Wondering myself.
Did anyone else get a shiver down their spine when he started cutting the styrofoam?
as soon as I saw styrofoam I just skipped it half a minute forward 🤭
I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't stand the stuff. I'd rather punch a running blender than listen to someone fuck with styrofoam.
@@rocketleague7241 lol wtf
Turned the volume down
Well done, looks awesome, I have to do this on my car and you made it look easy with great results, thank you for the video.
Hi thanks
Mad4Motors watched your video again lol. If I was to clear coat a 2002 Corolla how many clear coat cans do you think it would take going over entire car 3 times. Thanks in advance.
Entire car I'd say 4 to 5 of clear, best do it in stages
The best video on youtube!!! No doubt about it !!! i always coming back!!!❤
Professional auto painter here just got to give credit where it’s due for using a 2K clearcoat 2K is the only way to go if you’re clearing anything very nice work very well done for rattle can
Now thats some impressive skills there!! Thanks for sharing! Im just up to paint my daughters vw cc. Got some great tips here. Thank you from Sweden
I am going to do the same with my daughters VW. Save 1500, and paint it just the color she wants.
One of the best explained how to videos I've seen yet great job and yes it looks great for a can job
Impressive m8 well done....ive been painting for years and achieved what most painters deemed impossible with the tools i have i.e cheap spray guns etc.....great to orove em wrong lol
You just sand more thats all loll while their job comes out of spraybooth allmost ready to go!
Poetry in motion, excellent work and a practical no nonsense video dealing only in concise and factual advice. Top man. Cheers.
Excellent video thanks for shearing! Now you’ve got me thinking I could paint the roof of my car now! I shall certainly give it a go!
That looks awesome. I'm gonna give this a try on the roof of my car. The clear coat is peeling badly
Buddy that was AWESOME thank you for sharing !!!!
Really good job.. u should of showed an update video 1 week later
Omg this guy is awesome thousands of comments and he replies to them. Great job man.
Accolades for a man that does an awesome job with the things that EVERYONE has access to.
I only just found this video randomly and I have an alfa romeo that needs a respray which I want to do myself. My question is how many cans of paint did you use for the fender and th hood?
Steve. I would buy a case (12 cans) of paint and a case of clear cost just to have it if you find you need it. And you might have to stop and sand away some of your work because you are learning. Nothing worse than having to run to the local auto store hoping they might have your color - which they usually don't - all while you last coat is drying longer than the instructions demand.
@@christopherkelley773 i need u bro
. I had a joker paint and cover up a couple rust hole on my silver civic..hes a joke. He sanded first, over rust , then bondo( put bondo on thick too) then prime, then paint, now it dried and looks a mess..not smooth at all. So to fix it..? I have to sand smoothly? ( what grit) then prime ? Then re paint ? Can u help bro..?
Isn't etch primer strictly only supposed to go onto bare metal?
Yes
How many cans of primer and basecoat did you use?
Clear coat link is for 2 clear coat cans so maybe 2 of each? I never used spray paint so idk how long they typically last
Brilliant as always.. but you are a rare perfectionist but a great teacher... ive watched everything you post... still want you take on my mk1 golf tho... 😊
Wow! Beautiful job. (I don't need to paint MINE, either, but you did such a great job...with such wonderful results....couldn't stop watching. That SHINE is spectacular!
Did you polish or compound the final clear coat?
@Mike B it is what he does.
You would be wrong
Whats with the really blurry/hazzy horizontal strip in the middle of the hood at 11:46?
Video is fake
Reflection of a tree branch...lol
I would degrease the panel after washing and before sanding. Oddly enough degreasing can cause fish-eye. BTW, the larger the sanding block, the fewer low spots you'll end up with. A small block tends to "ride" into the contours, while a larger block doesn't. The second coat of clear should be applied at a right angle to the first coat rather than following along your previous spray pattern.
Thanks for your in-depth videos. I have subscribed and liked…. I have a 2015 range rover evoke pure plus, and I was looking on RUclips to Repair my passenger front bumper attached to my fender that has a very long crack that happens to a lot of these models and I wanted to paint it myself after fixing it and now I know I can do it…. Many thank you’s my friend ❤
i’m buying a 97 e36 next week and it’s got tons of paint damage like this, you’re saving me thousands brother thank you😂
Turd coat lol 😄 makes me laugh every time..
Only paint one area at a time with rattle cans . Painting a hood and panels at same time can become exspensive and your arm gets tired
Third lol
Your arms probably get tired lol and your attitude sucks
rude comment, not relevant to content.
Im impressed! Honestly
Nice comments, thanks
" finding an indoor spot to work on your car."------ Agreed. The last time I tried spraying a junker I realized I would have to find a more sheltered Lay By next time.
More reflective than a mirror. Beautiful work.
