DIY Painting an Old Muscle Car on the CHEAP - 1968 Road Runner Clone
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Judgement day, also known as paint day. After all the prep work it was finally time to lay down some fresh paint. I usually have my old man do the painting because I find it a little stressful. This time I took on the challenge myself! The DIY at home paint job came out pretty damn well if I don't say so myself. The of course I faux patina'd it to match the look of the car. I love me a ratty muscle car!

I hate negative comments and rarely leave them but with all the work you've done to match seams and get things to fit correctly to do a half assed paint job? But then again all of your "projects" are half finished. I'm seeing a pattern here. I worked as a wrench (yes) and built a few cars but man, if you don't have the money, tools, experience, or motivation don't do it.
When I first started watching you it was because it was funny but now I realize that you are serious. High school hack jobs. Very similar to your fellow 'tubers Half Assed Customs. I am unsubscribing wishing you good luck.
I wish u the luck Lynn. You seem unhappy in life and taking it out on us poor strangers. I hope I can sleep tonight after your harsh words.
@@DDSpeedShop wow that was not expected they were in a terrible mood. sheesh. They will be back they always do but who cares you will be getting plenty more subs I know.
@Lynn Michelle Bindert @@DDSpeedShop said he don't know how to paint" his in his Picasso mixing it up learning phase .. It takes a lot of smooth prepping to get it right .. believe you me in auto collision paint repair the customers will look for something in a perfect pain job to put you down .. Ward of mouth can make you or break you in the paint business .. I'm sure once Dan gets comfortable with his stay gun he's liable to go slap plum crazy on the Challenger lol 😆
Take a deep breath Lynn.
In my opinion it is harder to match into an old paint job.
If you have really been watching Dan's work, you would know that the ratty look is what he likes.
Focus on your own work, no need to criticize someone else's ... unless it is constructive criticism.
Other than that, take care of yourself.
Guess she would really hate Brent at Halfasscustoms then! LOL 😂
I really think you should paint the rest of the car, It looks well, Don’t spoil it by scuffling the paint up Dan, You are better at bodywork and painting than you think 👍
Paint job day is always the most exciting and most frustrating day but it’s always so awesome to have it done
It is your project, Dan. You only have to please 2 people. I enjoy your outside the box approach. Nothing shabby about your paint work. You are a man after my own heart........drivers not hangar queens. Hater's are gonna hate. Nobody is forced to watch. Ignore em!
I love that “survivor” look. Everybody likes a shiny car but to find a car in it’s original form, that just gets my attention more than shiny. I get more excited to see a classic car with it’s all original everything down to weathered paint than I do a full on restored classic. Keep up the awesome work Dan.
The joy of painting with Dan Da Vinci.
She looks great Dan. The project is solid.
Solid rat
Thank you for all of the posts on the 68 Sport Satellite. My family's car when I was a young kid in the 70's was one of these. It was yellow with a black vinyl roof. Then painted all black. 318. Thanks for bringing back a lot of memories. I look forward to every new episode on it.
Not sure why I am looking forward to a back yard patina paint job. But I am! And you didn't disappoint.
"Meatloaf is more important than painting Dodges" New famous quote!
For Dan everything is more important then sharp paint work.
This needs to be on a T-shirt......hahahaha
It's good to let your Meat Loaf once in a while!
I am always shaking my head throughout the process, but in the end - I like it. It is his car and he can do what he wants whether anybody likes it or not. I like his attitude. I think he really enjoys this. Can't wait to see what the station wagon will bring to the channel.
Thanks buddy.
Dan you are never lazy most of wish we could accomplish half as much as you do every week. thanks for all your videos really enjoy them all.
Right on, car has come a long way. Looking forward to the wagon build!
And the wagon will come out just as ugly , Dan LIKES ugly ????? I blame the parents ! poor guy clearly has issues .
Yes....the wagon....and I am liking the patina look.....ugly fits our personality.
Seeing that beauty makes me green with envy. 😉
Great job on making that car look like a unrestored survivor. Beaters are way more fun. No more shiny cars for me.
shiny cars are over rated, I feel the same. Worried about scratches, sun and stupid people when you go for a ride and leave it some where...Dave
I drive a primered car and love it. I have $25k in the car and maybe $300 in what I used on the interior and jammed the entire car in. I park it anywhere without a worry.
I respray the whole car in that single stage. Its old looking but kind of nice. Over all I would never buy the color but the car looks good in it.
And a flat black hood.
Huge improvement. You’re halfway there, just blast the rest of the car.
getting a nice paint job in a working garage is impossible, but pulling off a old patina match up is best bet, nice work brother.
Back from the dead, looks great.
Getting it all one color is always nice.
I've always liked that color.
There are enough shineboxes around, make your car just how you like it.
Man i gotta say that came out great, you are an artist.
My favorite car of all time a road runner!!!
I even like the color..
You saved a beaten down Plymouth!!!
I'm liking this project! You done good!
The shinny was no good for what "we" wanted to achieve! After the scuffing, the ratty look came through. As for mis matched hood/fenders, a car that we sold (new car dealership and never hit) had a factory panel that was repainted a couple different times at the factory before it went out. So you never know why colours change over time. Hit/not hit, paint was not exactly same through out complete spray...? Any who, it's looking great! Proud of you, my man!
Paint it all make it look shiny you'll get more for it in the end
Waite till you watch Dan SAND it all FLAT & UGLY IT UP ! lol .
Good morning Dan glad to see you working g on the mopar.
Morning 🌄 Dan!
Awesome build
Its still green, I love when you drop a video around break at work, Jack pot!
Cool video ✌
I donit for you man haha
" Looks like crap" " Yeah, thanks. That's what I was looking for!"
buy more paint and sandpaper,rub rub rub
and go again
Haha exactly
We had a '69 Plymouth Belvedere back in the 70's. Dad got it used for $1200 with only 78,000 clicks and we ended up putting over 500,000 on it before a rod started knocking. The last few years she burnt quite a bit of oil, but the motto was, "Drive her 'til she pukes." Leaning tower of power, three on the tree. Like every one of those, you couldn't kill it, it got great gas mileage, and you got the styling of the Road Runner on a Plymouth budget. I was the envy of my high school buddies (until my friend, Ryan, was given his grandpa's cherry '69 Cougar with a 289 Ford small block). I like the looks of your car, and I dig the dog dish caps, the same as you.
Looks perfect!
Boy this takes me back to 1982,, High school years. My Buddy had one just like this, same everything but he had the 318.He paid like $400 for it. The Car was in Great shape, but the former Lady owner hit an embankment and messed up the front Bumper and left fender. Messed up the frame a little. But I helped him with other friends, and we had it back up and straight in about 2 weeks. Great times!!
BTW,at that time I was running a 78 Pontiac Sunbird Coupe, in Orange. 231 buick V6 that would spin the tires all day!
Im just a Car Guy, Love them All!
P.S., Love your Channel!
Mike
That paint supply really does great with their color matches..not easy matching old metallic paint.
I Love the fact that you do what you enjoy... Isn't that the Whole Point. Thanks for Sharing... Keep Up the Great Work
Haha yeah. I just wing it.
I love it. Can't believe a the negative comments. A lot of guys are back yard body men / enthusiasts. Not everyone has the time / budget to build a 60k car so we work with what we have. Very cool car and will still turn heads. There are enough videos showing high end unobtainable builds. Keep up the good work.
Looks awesome love it
Looks awesome, man. You're doing good stuff that a lot of us normal folks like to see. Keep it going.
Rarely do I comment but WOW Lynn!!! It is not your car you are not footing the bill and looking at your channel I see there is a ton of beautiful restored cars.....Dan keep up the great work you are the reason I started building a 74 Omega, keep inspiring!
that 'new' paint REALLY matches the old 'crap' paint, well done blending it in!!
Please don't listen to the haters! I love the patina survivor look on your "Dodge". From a resale perspective it's been my experience that a mostly original paint rust free survivor car is more profitable. A complete proper paintjob is an insane amount of labour, not to mention several thousands of dollars in materials. Either all these haters are misinformed from watching reality shows where they pretend to fully restore a car for 10 grand in 2 days, or they are still stuck in 1976 when a complete paintjob cost $50 (and peeled off a week later)
She's looking awesome!!!
Keep it rough :)
You’re doing a good thang.
Don’t let folks comments get you down, if they want full build restorations there are other channels for them. You keep doing what has worked for you.
Great job, :)
Great job what you are doing. I hate negative comments. At least you are saving these cars. Let someone else buy them and finish it the way they want to. Great job brother keep it up
The "Jalapeno Jalopy" throw a pair of vise grips on for a go-left-go-right selector, chuck in a milk crate to sit on and call it done!
Keep it up Dan! 👍
Nice job! Good match to the old paint.👍😎
Love your channel and content!
Gotta put my vote in to use that column shifter if you can I think they fit the b bodys, unless you score a console with a factree shifter
The artist at work, you're doing an awesome job.
Screaming.... do the whole car!!🤣
Good job Dan👍🏻💪🏻
That turned out great. You got so many cool cars going on. Can't wait for the wagon project, can't wait for the Plymouth to get a power plant. Love it Dan, great work!
It looks pretty perfect to me just like you have it. Slightly reliced so it looks like a nice survivor looks just fine. Needs a 318 or 360 is all.
Looks Great Dan. You're heading in the right direction to get the patina look back again.Where you scuffed through on the top of the drivers quarter so you could see the layers looks really good. I've been doing autobody for almost 34 years and I have to admit I cringed a little bit when I seen the scuff pad but turned out well. Nice work.
Also nothing is cooler than ratty MoPar muscle
Another Awesome Video From Dan The Man
I like Dan,he's a good guy.
Don’t beat up on the Plymouth over a few negative comments. Now I feel like I have to comment to reassure you that what you’re doing is right. Every vehicle you touch is better than you found it. You save these vehicles from rotting away in a field and get them safe and solid with new brakes and floors, to the point they’re viable projects for a novice. If you put too much time or money in you won’t be able to sell them as almost every car guy wants to finish a car theirs own way. I enjoy watching. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Awesome look it is going to be a great ride
Dan, I’ve got 30 years in the car restoration experience. You do an incredible job for a reasonable amount invested. Cars like these were meant to drive and enjoy. Not rotisserie restored and sold at auction to people that should be driving a civic. Keep doing what you do, love the channel.
Nice job Dan, she's looking good 👌
wish I had as much ambition , you are top shelf ,git er done guy,
Screw the negative folks, they have no vision!1 love your work!!1
i
Theirs people who like rat rods and people who like shiny show cars. I think you killed it man, I like how you blend the new paint in with the old! Enjoy the car how you want, fk what anyone else thinks..
good video. Yes there is a lot of difference between painting the whole car right, and sort of matching what is there. Good enough for what you wanted. Looking forward to the next project.
Hey Dan don't pay any attention to those naysayers! It's your car and your plan which most will agree is cool! It can always be restored later, at least you are saving cars and not leaving them to rot in the field like so many do saying their going to fix it someday! ViceGripGarage also believes in this cause! God bless you and yours!
Very nice, well done!
Lookin good buddy I'm doing my '74 challenger now in garage then my '69 roadrunner my wife drives a '58 Chevy delray more door 3 on floor 350 came from Manitoba 20 years now she still runs strong..cheers buddy keep up the good work
love what you are doing keep up the work
The paint turned out good 👍👍🇨🇱
Other than the fact I don’t like green I think you did a great job.
As long as you have the look you want that’s all that matters
@Last Name First dark forest green looked good on some of them, this green isn’t nice at all.. but someone must have liked it since it was bought back in the day lol
Lookin good Dan !
Nice work! I agree I think if you do end up polishing it, they will blend better together.
I hope your reading all the good positive feed back Dan....you do great work and are inspirational to the real people that work on cars.
Dude I love that Plymouth
Looks decent Dan !! It’s fine ! Get it running buddy
You're learning Danny Boy! A little splash of color goes a long way to resell! I bet you'll fall in love with her and she may be in the stable for a while!🤣🤣
Impressive work making new paint look old.
Looks 100% better than when you got it. Keep doing what you do.
That's a lot of walking to paint those big ol 1/4's lol!! Looks great, in the home stretch!
Your work came out great
No matter what kind of car it is it's an older car and it deserves to be put back on the road and I love that new green on that car
Don’t worry about the different shades on the quarters. That car has shades of green that you could never match. So, what’s a few more?
Nice work! Thanks for the motivation and keep posting videos!
Looks awesome Dan! The old “Dodge” has come along way...I personally like that you left some warts on it. I’m not a Mopar guy but I do like the lines on that one. Now make it go fast!
its NOT a dodge
I enjoy your channel Dan. Keep 'em comin'!
Love watching you work wishing I could do what you do .looks greet!!!
Your too funny Dan!! Mike from Cleveland Ohio watching!!
Good good again man ld love that car here in Australia you just can't find 2 door coupes any more
Bro, I have wanted to replace the quarters on my car and you really helped me understand the basic steps. You mentioned having a gold 67 Impala… that’s what I’m working with.
Always glad I watched your vids!!! Thanks
I agree, the dog fish hub caps make it look so cool!
awesome paint job dan love the dog dish caps
Looking mint. Cant wait for the car to go down the road
You know what your doing and good at it.
The Plymouth you did her justice. The beautiful thing is it's yours and you can do whatever you please. Great job.
Looks cool,and hard to do ! Can't wait to see the progress
New Subscriber, Enjoying your laid back attitude. Dig the tri fives and the mopars.
