Spray On Body Filler? High Build Primer, Worth It's Weight In GOLD
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- You ever heard of high build primer? If you haven't or if you've never used it, you best pay attention to this video. High build primer is basically body filler you spray on with a HVLP paint gun. When you open the can it has the consistency of extremely thick paint. A proper paint gun is required with a large painting tip to allow the thicker product to flow from the gun.
I'm at the point in my 1955 Chevy Nomad build, where adding a little primer will help me with motivation and in seeing body lines a little better. This primer laid down great and absolutely changed the look and attitude of this wicked hotrod.

My father told me when I was young you better learn how to be jack of all trades because you cannot afford to pay to have everything done. He was right. More than ever today!!
Dan: Been mixing automotive paint for over 30 ys (Dupont and PPG). My paint chips go back to the 1940's (have current formulas for most tri-five colors). I also have a paint camera and can scan a chip to generate a formula. Anything I can do give me a yell! We're here for you buddy!😁
Now we are talking ! Hope he talks to you , if things ain't panning out ! We don't need no stinking badges ! Make what you want ! Came this far !
I’m not a painter I sometimes wish I was however, I’m a great fan. I’ve always said: “If you cant afford to be a race car driver😎🕺🏻🤔👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🕺🏻, be the best fan you can be) I believe in keeping it in the family whatever it was, racing, building, creating etc etc) MY DAD WAS A PASTOR SO HE WAS THE FIRST MAN OF GOD THAT CAME INTO MY LIFE AND I AM SO GRATEFUL I COULDN’T ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE !! IF MORE PEOPLE SAID: “THANK YOU JESUS” LESS WOULD HAVE TO SAY OMG 😳!! @ THE TRUTH 😉🤔☝️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Man this is a cool comment and I love to see it
Hey Dan... short guy tip that helps tall guys reach the roof too. By an 8' long 2x10 and two short folding step ladders. Put the 2x10 between them, and you can walk the length of the roof with enough height to reach the center and not drag the hose or sleeves in the material. When you're done, stand the board against the wall, and fold the step ladders next to it. Minimal space taken up.
That thing looks FREAKIN AMAZING getting to be one color.
It looks good 👍, I always like the primer going on . It will definitely show you were a little more care needs to before painting 🎨 Thanks Dan , have a great day👍👋
WOW, for a moment there the wet primer with the lights reflecting off of it looked really nice. It took on a silver look and I like silver. Great progress on the roof as well as the whole body.
Great job spraying now when it comes to sanding that product is amazing. PLACES YOU DID NOT LIKE AFTER SANDING JUST GO BACK AND BLOW A LITTLE OVER IT JUST LIKE USING PUTTY, ONLY BETTER ON BLOCK SANDING IT STAYS LEVEL AND DOES NOT DRY OUT AND SHRINK.
Two projects at once and both inside!! Now you're just showing off!! Great work Dan!! Cheers!! 🤓
Lighting and sound quality is spot on Dan!
Dan, you are an inspiration. The nomad will live on.
If you use guide coat when you send that hide build it'll make getting it flat super easy.
It's really starting to look like a bad ass NOMAD!
Dan the body sanding man! Keep pushing thru it! Looking great!
With the hi build primer on the roof the Nomad is really looking like how will look with two tone when finished if you use your imagination. Great work Dan.
Well, well. Another Nimmo! I’m Stuart Nimmo from Paris, France 🇫🇷 A great fan of Dan and Dani and this Nomad resurrection.
The roof looks amazing wow what a transformation 👏 👍
Dan big congratulations on your success, your channel has really come a long way since I started watching. New garage is really set up nice and thumbs up to Muher for suggesting to wear a microphone, Nomad is really looking great. Great job
It's really coming along. A couple tips for you: Toss that little filter from inside your primer gun, get some of the cone shaped paint strainers and filter it when you pour from your mixing cup into the gun. Also, a roll of plastic masking film makes life easier when you want to spray part of the car. Reverse tape the edges, pull the sheet over the whole car, and trim off the area you want to paint. It's quick, cheap, and keeps the overspray off of everything you don't want painted.
Don't know if you have changed your encoding software's settings but you only came third in the lip synch contest, audio about half a second out from video. Otherwise keep up with the sanding and get a good paint finish, it's all in the prep!
Back in my day, we used to thin out lacquer primer putty with thinner until we could spray it through my primer gun. 48 hours later, blocking began. Eventually the car looked straight as new......ofetn even better.
Primer is my favorite stage, she's lookin' AMAZING.
Hey Dan, I think it look damn good. It looked real good when it was wet.
Still can't get over how it looked when you brought it into your garage to what it looks like now.
Great job Dan. Take a break and put your brain to work again on something different. Take care and be safe.
When I done my 72 nova I had never done body work before & had the body men & painters tell me how to do it & it took me 3 months of working the primer coats. I thought usinng rattle can black paint to dust it sounded crazy but once I stared sanding I realized it showed the low & high points of the metal surface & after sanding & 4 coats of primer it turned out smooth as glass !
You should tell everyone how much the retail price is on all the consumables so that everyone can get the real cost of doing what you do.. not cheap. Keep up the good work.
And that was on Dan's budget.
Couple Quick tips from a painting pro. (You probably know them.) The last thing you do before spraying is tac rag the surface. (Lots of possible products) gets rid of the dust and helps the product stick. Painting is all about FLOW. Runs = too much flow...Move faster use less reducer, back up. Orange peel = too little flow...slow down, increase overlap, add more reducer, move a little closer. NICE work!
Also,static discharge is a great thing.there is a gun for it after tacing the car/panel.static pulls dust in
Primer makes you feel like the end is close. Get a feeling of a accomplishment. Like the light in the tunnel feeling. Wait is that the end or is a train coming. You'll get there Dan starting to see your vision.
I hate sanding as well. However, the light is at the end of the tunnel and from what i see you will have a fine ride. Especially from where you started from.
The car is looking good. The new garage looks great.
Leave it in primer and it will look 👍
Looks Good! Years ago a Old Friend that had a Body Shop, he wasn't very tall. So he would let all the air out of the tires, that would lower the Car another 3/4 inches, witch helped when Spraying the Roof of a Car.
We used something called sandy on a 59 corvette Non sanding primer ,we still wet sanded it & it filled the small scratches, it was a gloss black lacquer 8 thin coats of paints ,then we buffed it ,then clear coated it for a show car shine !! Good luck that's a beautiful car !!!
It’s getting there
A couple of milk crates and 2X4's make doing the roof so much easier, if you don't fall off.
Love your videos. Great car (55 Nomad) to do the work on. Glad you are going for a daily driver, and not show car.
Looking good Dan sure glad you saved her 😄👍👍👍
You gunna need a little trolley cart. Or a modified Safeway cart. Surprised you don't have a fan exhaust fan in the shop yet. I enjoy watching you channel
Really lookin’ good man!
LOVE YOUR SHOW, ALL YOUR AMBITION AND HARD WORK PROVE TO VIEWERS YOUR HEART IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO..
I Like all yer Vids Dan . Can’t Waite for the next one ! Great work . Tell Danni Hi from the Crazyman
Wow looks good Rusty Roof Gone Looks so much better
Looking great! Step by step she'll start looking better and better!
Dan just for your consideration colors glacier blue and shoreline beige . In my humble opinion the best two tone combo ever original for 1955 chevy. A painter friend of mine brought it to my attention chevy used the blue later on and called it marina blue but he said they left out the slight lavender tint . Thanks for sharing your amazing talents.
Say hello from Gordon in Flint mi area .
Here your making it looking great under primer .
Dan, the mic sounds great, and it sounds like you’re getting the echo tamed. A quick tip: a hand clap before you step in from of the camera will help you sync audio and video. Its super annoying for OCD folks like me when we feel like we are watching a poorly dubbed kung fu movie. Keep dialin’ it & love the content!
Was coming in here to say the same thing
I’m so impressed Great Dan
Been watching from the beginning of this build, when primer starts going on things start to show all the hard work u did and looking great man.
Always used PPG K36, definitely any quality high build primer works wonders.
Make that any 2K hi-build primer.
Good job. I think a little more surf music will help her wake up.
Roof looks great. Nomad has come a long way. Good progress.
Speckle the grey with black ⚫
So Dan. Yeah getting it right never beat ur self up about getting it right its ur build. When ur happy it's right try & try until it's right. & then it's right. 👍🏻 sleep well. It's ok 👍🏻😉😎
You guys know it’s going white top, and that original yellow color he found under the windshield on the bottom half. It’s going to look sweet.
Worth mentioning to your viewers that the Polyester High-builds tend to have a short pot-life. So don't mix too much and don't farf around too long setting up the gun and spraying it on the car or it will harden in the gun. Ask me how I learned this.
yep that filter in the cup..ne needs to pull that out & put it in the trash
I don't think that's polyester, probably a urethane vehicle.
@@frankschwartz7405 polyester primer is used to get metal flat ( a sprayable body filler ) urethane primer is a high build used for sand scratches and small imperfections. Similar products but for different applications. Hope that helps .
@@joepacheco4038 >>Hope that helps .
Ouch! It sounds like it was not a good day.
Dan my friend you should be very proud of yourself. You took a total piece of crap and turned it into a fine example of an automobile. You are way too hard on yourself. The Nomad is looking stunning. Keep up the amazing job you are doing and thank you for sharing this with us. I also applaud your choice of doing the paint properly instead of going though the way over done "Patina" look. That old girl needs to be the belle of the ball once again and to showcase your amazing skills.
Yup , "Queen" level WOW ! Baby's got BACK ! No , she's No' mad .
Your a lucky man having all those great hot rods
You are doing a awesome job what a Hot Rod who couldn't love your videos 😎😎😎😎👍
👍👍👍
HIGH BUILD PRIMER AN JUST FILL
ITS SIMPLE ALLOT OF SMOOTHING OUT
LOOKING GOOD BROTHER
Looking good Dan. Take your time , take breaks, It can get very tedious to get everything right. Nice work buddy.
Great job!!!!
FYI Dan, If you use any catalyzed product in the spray gun, there is a special respirator filter needed. You may want to research that because ordinary organic vapor filters won't protect you well enough.
Thank you for the info Mike. I was not aware of that.
@@snake_eyes_garage
Mike is 💯 % correct. The activators in 2 pack paint contain Isocyanates. When breathed in they cause cancer ♋️. An air fed respirator is an absolute must have & the air source needs to be separate from the air being supplied to the spray gun. I spent my entire adult life as a panel beater and paint refinisher ( am now retired - 70 years old) in the U.K.. I spent almost three months in hospital when 2 pack first came out from using it without an air fed respirator mask. It had literally glued itself to my lung tissue. Back then labelling of the product’s harmful content was really poor and we weren’t made aware of the danger ⚠️ from using it. Used without adequate protection can lead to serious health issues. As serious as breathing in asbestos, coal dust, to name just a couple.
@@geofo60 Also, attacks the nervous system.
good job on videos , i have done plenty body and paint i hate it but it has to be done,,, hello from Tucson Arizona
Coming along. I’m enjoying the progress on this one. (And the many many many hours you’ve put in)
Grooves, steel auto trans line - 2 ft long sharpen to go in grooves and scoop out paint. Hand pressure only .
She's Really Cleaning Up Nicely... Thanks for Sharing
what a great job. you should be proud. my favorite part of a build, that first time it's one color and the project just takes a big step forward. CAN NOT wait to see when it has the colors on it.
It's looking good all the work is going to pay off.
Coming along 👌
Thank goodness you put the carpet in
Nice to see you are finally painting a car. Not just making a car that needs to be restored by someone else. Don't spray this with a single stage paint. Don't use the excuse that's what they used when the car was built. 2 stage is easier to paint with which allot of people don't realize and the clear coat will have a gloss shine single stage will never have.
Pretty sure your confused on what a restoration is. Shiney paint on a rotten car?
unreal transformation love wathching
Can’t wait to see it finished.
Loving it. I noticed the audio seems just a hair out of sync. It seemed like it might have been on the last one too. Also it almost sounds/feels like a voice over but I think that's do to improved audio as crazy as that seems. It's quiet in there. Almost so clean and quiet that when you're not making noise it sounds a little like a voice over.
Looking good Dan 👍
It’s shaping up nicely 👍
Like you, I left the little filter in the bottom of the cup in when spraying high build. And concluded that wasn't a good idea. Filter going into the cup and leave that out until you spray color, which is a lot thinner. I didn't get any runs, but don't worry about them. Let the primer cure for at least a day before sanding and they'll sand out fine. Hopefully the primer showed you that you didn't need a 220 surface before priming, in fact it may hurt adhesion.
Like you said, high build is basically polyester gelcoat (thinned resin) mixed with baby powder. The urethane is the really nasty stuff with the isocyanates. The baby powder isn't good for breathing either, though.
The nomad would look great with a white top and seafoam green bottom
That roof! Truly the best looking part of the VIN rescue WTG.
That will be The best looking one in manitoba, good job man
crazy but my drip rail is perfect.and its been in michigan since new..im thinking it was a foresty government car..
AAHH! That looks great! Now lets see, sand then shmuck on the filler, sand that, reshmuck, more sanding, shmuck again, more sanding. Aint this fun, But wait, there's more, Make ready for primer which means? Yep! More sanding. Prime it. Let it sit and cure. Who knows what comes next? Come on, everyone knows the answer.
The roof looks great Dan.
Nice you guys keep it up!
Hey Dan, digg'n the new garage, the roof looks 100% better
Don't really care for it (Evercoat Slick Sand), but it's worked pretty well for me to save a customer car that had been media blasted by a guy who normally did tractor equipment and lawn furniture. Car came to my shop a wavy, warped up mess that nobody else wanted to fool with. Guess we will see how it holds up over time
Ohhhh yeah.....roof.....LOOKING GOODENHEIMER!!!
good to see ya trugeing thru the worst part of the build. looking better everytime and will be all pertty in no time
Little paint tip, put the air hose over your arm behind your neck letting it drape down to left side, let's you balance yourself better and it stops dragging the air hose into your fresh paint
Lookin good Dan 👍🏼
Keep on truckin 🕺🏻
I really like the Nova, it's what brought me here and I can't wait to see it done up right.
Wow roof looks great!
Awesome Dan! Your doing great work so don’t sell yourself short. 👍😎🇨🇦
👍🏻
Loved it ! Not a bad roof at all ! The primer will tell you what you need to know . The lights on the paint tell us , "NICE" ! Looking better all the time ! A humble suggestion there , maestro . Whilst the windshield is out , & whilst you are already doing all of the other body work , perhaps you can remove what's left of that (vinyl covering on the dash?) & paint that up too . Your bro BK did his in like a satin finish black , low reflection , beautiful finish . Put all of the chrome stuff on & WOW . When the windshield is in , & you're driving it , that satisfied smile will stay on your face ! No blindness , yay ! Keep given it , she's a Bute !
Looking good with a little paint...👍
Dan it is just amazing of all the sheetmetal bits you have pieced together you now have a Nomad. Once the top coat is on we will see how well you really did. The brighter lighting and walls helps also. AL B in snow covered Ohio.
If your gonna use hi build primer to cover scratches that you want to skip sanding out as your Savior. Your gonna have sand scratch swelling later down to road that’s gonna show up in your paint job. Taking time to do your sanding before you use the scathing fill primer will give you a better lasting paint job.
Roof is looking pretty good 👍👍
So sweet golden goodness in one place keep up the great shows
The car looks Great!!! I want it!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic work like always Dan . I seen you were watching RoadKill . Cheers
Looking good!
I saw so a news feed showing you guys getting the nova out of your container.
