  • In this episode I finally tackle the car paint repair for my 300ZX. I repair some dents and scratches with Bondo body filler, block sand and body work, and prime my car for the DIY paint job. I turn my garage into a DIY paint booth with painter's plastic and masking tape and do all of my autobody prep work, and test my luck with a cheap Amazon paint gun for my respray. I'm using a single stage Matrix automotive paint, hardener, reducer, thinner, and wax grease remover and keeping it under a budget of $180.

    This happens every time I watch a How to DIY something video and think it looks easy, never is 😂, honestly I think you did a good job for your first go

      Thanks, yeah it was a pretty humbling day. Learned a lot though, I’m confident my next time will be better.

    i bet the neighbours heard some very loud swear words when you were leaving the shed with the plastic.incident, i know mine would of. you should of bloody slept in there lol, im sure you'll make it all good in the end, great work and effort as usual

      Haha they probably heard me crying afterwards too. The plastic fell like a parachute so I watched it fall in slow motion. Luckily I think that thick coat of paint just after might have saved me somewhat.

    Great work as always! Loving how it's coming along. Agreed on the music, maybe switch it up. Also, maybe it's a personal preference but I think you could do a voice-over on a lot of the stuff instead of stopping and talking. Just a thought, again though good job!

    Painting a car in your garage is no joke. Hopefully the buffing and wet sanding fix most of the issues.

    • @noboltsleftbehind
      @noboltsleftbehind  Год назад +1

      I seriously underestimated the prep work involved, and man I really should have tacked up the plastic a bit better. The wet sanding does wonder though

    I painted my 300zxTT outside 14 yrs ago when I didnt have a garage and was broke lol. Came out pretty nicely. Now that I have a garage and alot more wealth I may just wrap the car next. Wetsanding should fix most issues. Nice work!

    Next week: “I paint the fenders too because I find out my black paint was one shade lighter/darker than factory!” Lol
    Bummer on the fish eyes. From what I know about auto paint and body (which isn’t a lot) the only way to fix that is sand down and repaint.

      I bought it at Classic Body Supply in Hawaiian Gardens, it’s a good spot. I also got some touch up paint for the Challenger there, they color matched it perfectly.
