- I decided i've had enough of the vinyl wrap on the Datsun 280zx and it's time to paint it! In this mammoth video, we decide to strip it right back, smash out the bodywork and do a DIY paint job on it! Enjoy 😁.
Shoutout @BrokenSilvia for the awesome videos and info on the paint! Авто/Мото
that is one nice 280zx man. Me and my dad got a 280zx as well and we just fixed the rust and dents on the car. We also finished painting the car and now were replacing the rubbers and front windshield because it was scraped when we bought it. were also gonna add ducktail to make it look nice but I'm also deciding to buy new wheels and tires for it.
Amazing bro! I hope this video gave you a bit of inspiration. Best of luck with the build! So rewarding getting to drive it around after all of the hard work.
Mike this is amazing mate! Awesome job and really well put together! Great info too. 150,000 times better than the wrap.
Cheers Dave! Really enjoyed this one and agree it's much better than the wrap. I'd go as far to say painting is easier than wrapping also!
I’
Nicely done!
I feel more confident in rust removal now, your techniques were a bit of an eye opener, really love your videos mate not only are they teaching people but you’re also saving people a lot of $$ by showing them how to do things yourself. Would love to get in touch some day and show you my zx project mate
That bayside blue looks amazing 🔥
how good are those little rockwell sanders though!! made life so much easier to prepping my own projects. end result looks freaking mint though!!
She looks frickin amazing Mike! well done mate
cheers for the video Mike. it motivates me to fix and paint the Alfa in my home
No worries! Yesss get it done. Love me a nice Alfa.
Fantastic job Mike, I'm sure you will be really proud of your work, an excellent vlog of how to paint your car 👍
Thanks for the kind words Mark. Really enjoying the whole process!
What a great video! I’ve got a classic I’m working on (ta22 celica) and was really out off the project at the start hearing people spending crazy amounts on painting/rust repairs etc., but great seeing you guys doing the work yourselves, saving a heap of money and ending up with such good results. Watching your videos is motivating me to start work on the paint on my car!
bro looks good boys done a wicked job!!
Beautiful car mate
Looks pretty nice
Your a gun mate, the amount of effort you put into your cars is really impressive, I watch most of your videos hope your channel goes places in the future
Thanks so much bro! I'll just keep working hard and hopefully it all pays off.
Looking great!!
POR 15 works really well with rust.
Cheers bro!
She's beautiful mate. I'm on my own search trying to find a 280zx in roadworthy condition. They've really started jumping up in price lately though, cheapest I can see near me is about 20k
Thanks Marcus! Yeah they're bloody expensive now hey...I paid $1500 for mine! Although mine was in a dire state & in bits. Still, all of the parts were there and it's been a whole lot of fun to build.
Daaahmn! You boys fricking smashed this one out in no time
This was certainly a 5 day mission haha. Appreciate all of your great info dude. Can't wait to do some BMW stuff together 😝.
I had to watch this one on the big screen! This turned out really good! Definitely did better than your first time too
Cheers my dude. Really helped learning from the mistakes on my first go for sure. Still made a few errors this time but will carry that forward onto the next job. Live and learn!
Every video on this car makes me want one more. Fuark
Cheers Josh, she's fricken nice hey! Interior overhaul next!
Yeah , that's what I'm talking about, an hole hour earlier. Can't wait until 11 o'clock.
Scandinavians are no bandits,,, we were vikings but now we are very akward and shy people :D
Haha love this. Scandinavians are some of my favourite people!
Looking sweet bro 👌💪. Its motivation, I’ve gotta do my car
That's the one bro. So stoked on this one. What colour you thinking for yours?
Mike Lake possibly cobalt blue
That's so awesome! I was just curious what coilovers you got, I'm having a hard time finding any for my own
I'm running s13 fully adjustable coilovers. I had to chop the base off them and weld them to the 280zx strut base (all 280zx coilovers require this).
Man I hope you paint the flares as well, car looks fuckin awesome. Well done
Thanks Chris!
aw hell yea.
NICE🤙
Thanks bro!
Looks great mate. Sound track by any chance?
Where did you get the 2 tone front lights??
Looks good. Paint work is so tedious. I just painted the rear hatch on my SUV, and it was hours of sanding, cleaning, preparing, taping, all for about 5 minutes worth of actual painting. I guess you couldn't find any respirators? There's no way I'd want to breathe those fumes in, especially if you used 2K clear coat. I noticed your nostrils were blue after laying down the base coat.
Yeah it's alll in the prep hey! Gets real old real quick haha, but well worth it when the paint is laid. Yeah respirators are hard to come by at the moment. I have one now, won't be doing the dodgy again!
Mike were you little bit high from the fumes? I know you had ventilation but I once painted my s13 in the shed with no ventilation and I was high af 😂
Aiden Lepore haha...bloody covid taking up all the respirators! I’ll get one I promise haha
Hey man just curious, did the MIG welder you were using have a gas bottle or was it gasless?
It's a gasless Mig. I've had it for about 3 years and used it for everything haha. I'll be upgrading to a gas mig real soon though.
No worries just checking! As I was going to say if you were using a MIG with gas, you'd be having some pretty big trouble using it with out the MIG gun nozzle/tip on it! Algood though. Keep up the good work mate!
What thickness steel did you use for patchup jobs?
No idea to be honest! Haha, whatever was laying round at the shop.
@@itsmikelake lol love your work man
Come onnnn
How many days of work to complete this job?
5 Days :)
What year bumper covers are those? Ours are much bulkier and uglier.
I believe these are series 1 bumpers. I've noticed a lot of 280zx have the big chunky bumpers! These are certainly much more desirable for sure.
What type of blue
The paint code is TV2 - Bayside Blue
@@itsmikelake ty
rb25 swap incoming?
Unsure at the moment. the L28 is a really nice sounding engine. We shall see!
Yep, rust. This model was rust bucket.
Bloody hard to keep them rust free hey man.
The hell are they saying
Need lovely 😍💋 💝💖❤️
