Devin the cloudyness means the metal isn't reaching curing temp, or it wasn't in long enough. Leave it in a bit longer and see if that works
Makes sense. That big oven must lose a lot of temp when opened.
@@pieterverboven4853 More like loses all the heat.
@@pieterverboven4853 I said the same thing on the video when he bought it.
Yeah. Longer time because of huge oven
Thanks for the advice!
Your detailing skills has come a LONG way in the past few years that I have been following you. Car looks amazing now! Quick tip on PPF that I have learnt throughout my career, boil a kettle and pour the boiling water on the PPF and then start peeling. It'll loosen all the glue and leave minimal residue, and chances of peeling paint will be less too!
Appreciate you!
This video is what I call giving love and affection to our car, just like Devin does with this blue STI... Well done my brother... it's because you have this type of content that I follow your channel. I love detail work like this one that was done. Big hug from Portugal
One of the hardest working men on youtube. Devin, you're an inspiration. Love what you do, please keep it coming.
I remember watching your videos religiously while I was over seas, they really helped me out, here I am out of the military just a a little short of money for purchasing the car of my dreams, a 2013 Evo x , truly from the bottom of my heart thank you
I am very impressed with this your channel Devin. I watch Bader, Smeedia. Like I said earlier today you are a one-man Subaru maintenance ass-kicking crew brother. I own a stock 2020 STI and man I love the maintenance you are doing brother.
I just found you with the first motor rebuild. I didn't expect a full restoration! It's such a beautiful car. I always thought I was really good at detailing cars... and then I see this "project" car of yours. I feel like I just watched a car detailing Master Class... for free! Awesome series I really enjoyed it. I'll probably watch em' all!
You are correct, the forged BBS wheels only came in black for the Series Hyperblue. Its crazy to see you restoring a HB, I still have never seen another one in person except for my own. Hopefully one day Bader can build mine, but id have to cross the country to get to him. Thank you for keeping one of these alive, they do deserve it.
I also own a hyperblue sti and man I wish I had the time and money to make my baby look that good! It’s so awesome seeing someone just show intensive love and care for one of these special cars. Love the content as well man!
Maybe you should try going a little hotter in the big oven. Remember that the smaller one has a smaller space to keep at temperature while the bigger has more space to heat. Or preheat at a higher temperature and then bring it back down
Devin, you are the absolute RUclips car GOAT (DIY car entertainment)! Doing everything in-house, by yourself. Amazing! And the amount of content you put out! Love watching your videos. Keep it up! 💯
This was really awesome to watch. My Series.White STI needs some love this spring...last owner didn't care to take much care of the paint unfortunately. This was super informative -- thanks for taking the time to walk through the process!
Couple days ago I decided to try out the cerakote headlight restoration kit and I cannot believe have impressive that kit is, worked amazing
Also tried it and works amazing
The longer videos are the best ones 💯
The oven company should sponsor this channel! BALLER!!!
Hi from Thailand, bro i watch your videos pretty much as soon as you upload, keep up the epic work my dude!
I miss my hyper blue STI. The black wheels had a very nice black gloss. On mine, I had wheels painted in white with a hyper blue pearl Devin. They looked friggin amazing. Can't wait to see your next mod
Besides you doing the repairs and mod on all the cars , you comment in this Video, " OUR CAR " really makes me feel like family bro, keep the videos coming
Love this series, if I had a front bumper peel like that, I would have ordered a face lifted front end personally. Pre facelift is slowly starting to grow on me
I wish a "limited edition" was more than just a paint color and some wheels. more horsepower, upgraded suspension something to make it really unique
Devin, since I owned a Hawkeye STI all sup’d up to stage 2, I love me a cool STI, this one of yours is special.. and no im not a fan of that Blue, but man you turned it in to a mirror finish! Keep rocking
Look up the rupes head mod. You add washers and it helps it spin more and speeds up correction time. Feels much better. I love my rupes. Paid for itself 10x
I bought a Hyperblue pretty recently. Previous owner parked it under a tree and left me a bunch of beautiful sap stains. Luckily a lot of it was PPF and I could just peel it off, but for the roof the stains were so deep I'm thinking I'll have to respray. Whole car got a 2 step paint correction and ceramic coat except for the roof.
I had to respray the wing because of a defect and I just used touch-up-direct and that went incredibly well. Can't recommend them enough.
Your car looks amazing! Can't wait to see more.
Enjoyed the series of bringing this thing back to life. If I could offer a suggestion, load up the microfiber with more coating. I know they say "less is more" but laying down a good thick layer guarantees a proper application, and you'll still only use 3/4 of the bottle tops.
Really inspiring man, seeing all the work you do. Makes me always wanna go the extra mile with my BRZ :D
Devin I've been using the cerakote trim coat and headlight restoration on my vehicles as well in fact I juss did so tnight on another vehicle and the only reason I kno of the products is because of you and they are great... but keep up the good work my friend you are awesome at everything you do
@Devin Tip foreremoving clear bra / PPF .... get a water kettle like you would use for making Tea... the hot water softens the adhesive, and makes removal trivial. The adhesive will stay on the film, and not the paint, eliminating the chance of paint peel ( on OEM paint that is).
Loving this Rare Sti Build Bro keep up the good work👌
You should paint the Side Mirror's Hyper Blue also.
I think your gonna need a dry ice blaster in the near future for these underbody and everything else!!
I'd suggest repainting the wing and the hood scoop. I had my car polished and both of those parts had clear coat failure in a couple months. The stock clear is just thin af.
Oh! I hope the finger print on the top of the front rim on the rack got fixed before you baked them. You can see it at 4:29 just on the top of the front and center wheel.
Absolutely love the out come! Would fix the bumper but also get the 18+ as well
You can wipe and coat a vehicle however you will be no means get the protection for the amount of years that the product has. Polishing is the only way to do that
Devins been my favorite RUclipsr since the OG Hawkeye years ago haven’t missed a video since
I think those wheels were offered on Limited trim of various years.
What happens if you leave the wheels longer in the oven?
I'm imagining that when that big ass door is opened, whatever heat is in there escapes and it takes time to get back up to temp.
Dream car, this but with the 18+ front bumper. What better reason to upgrade to the 18+ bumper than the paint on the OEM coming off. Come on, no excuses! Love the content as always!!
I spot a cheeky k20 hiding in that unit we got a Honda build on the way bro 👏👏👍👍👍
The calipers would look fire paint match with the car 🔥🔥
Awesome car , those wheels definitely came on STI in Canada , 2015-2017 in silver , nice wheels!!
The new STi logo you put on the caliper has an error on it, on the i .
Those cerakote products are goated, especially the trim restorer.. lasts for months on end
Dev, you should do a subscriber build for one of your subscribers, either for EVO or STI...maybe some money towards a raffle ticket and to your brand??
As far as powder coating rims and such I would go for a epoxy primer powder then powder coat them the color you wish after the epoxy. The epoxy will prevent chipping and makes the color set better.
Been a powder coat specialist for 3years now total of 5yrs experience
Literally just got a set of those BBS that will restore and put it on my FXT 😍😍
You should check out the new line of Turtle wax ceramic coatings, works really well and lasts up to mths to a yr I think, I use it and love it.
Devin you should buy the evo from the channel “gears and gasoline” it’s a beautiful evo 🙌🏽
Did the oven come with thermocouples to monitor zones in the oven? Maybe you got hot/ cold zones or as others said to run her longer to account for heat loss from opening the door and setting the rims up after the initial preheating.
Solid work as always.
Yow dev when a jamaican man seh him a LURKS on the Evo 4, Supra build. He means he's Waiting Impatiently 😆...
Nice to see the Scooby looking standard 👍🏻
as you drag your extension cord end through a pile of soapy bubbles... cant help but hope you have that thing plugged into a GFCI outlet.
Cloudiness is normally related to part temperature ramp up time. Usually I will crank my oven up to 450-475 and put the wheels in. Then turn the temperature back down. Also Ink Black isn't a very good powder honestly. It normally lays better with two lighter coats anyways
Great job. Lot of love given to that car lately.
4th motor in now, you’re damn right if worth going all in with the detail 😂
Awesome job making it look beautiful.
I have to do the same on my calipers too
Great video!
Greatness Takes Time! 🎉
Looks beautiful I don’t care you need ividiaQ 300s on it love. The channel has always been hanging out for a new episode.❤😎👍
upgrade to a 18+ bumper cover! pretty sure you can buy them in hyper blue! did you use a tire dressing?
This car is beautiful it makes me want one. But it's had paint before and it needs a rh side front w arch liner it's smashed, might as well!
When are u going to build the drag car?
Looks amazing 1 another thing you could have done is put tyre shine on the tyres great job
5:13 don't say that! she is the OG
I think these are not usual STI alum wheels. My memories are that BBS are magnesium wheels and powder coating is not the best choise for them.
Glad to get a real video today!
Upgrade that front bumper to the 2018 Hyper blue. Great time to do it now
I can watch these videos everyday, no problem 🔥🔥🔥
Very Nice work sir! She's a beaut! 🤩
Jus started video 28 mins…i can dig it
Nice 👌 lookin fire 🔥 great job Devin - great Subi content always 🤟
Ayyyyyeeeee lets get it!!!!! Time for some paint correction!!!!!!
That car is beautiful I always wanted that color car but never was able to find one
I had horrible luck with the Cerakote Trim coat. It all spider webbed and cracked after hardening. Not sure if I just had some moisture but honestly, all 4 mudguards got messed up over time. Was odd, curious how it turns out for you.
2018 wrx with sunroof has very similar wheels to that. Similar if not is the same
You did a great job. Perfect👍❤
very true, just buy a rupes.. i detail and i went through a torqx & adams polisher. love my rupes 👍🏼
another video i can watch while im trying to sleep
good job man 💪
Clean af. Great job buds 🔥🇲🇾
should put an 18+ front bumper on if you need to paint anyway.
Great Job My boy 👍:..🔥💯👌🏽
Keep up the great work 🥶
Banger video as always
Sic build bro 🔥
Hola Devin saludos desde CDMX de 🇲🇽 que chingón carro 👍
I spy a k24 in background. Honda build coming soon?
Is there a website or place you get your brake decals? because all the times you have done brakes you always have new decals that fit perfectly with the brakes.
Big fan of the channel ! I did have some questions what do you do for work so you can afford so many projects?
How did you start youtube ?
And what would you suggest Evo or wrx
Pretty sure at the moment RUclips is all he does. That and he sells merch. Not sure if this has always been the case. I know his dad would help him out in the beginning but I don't know the extent to it. Bobbi just opened a coffee stand as well and she has a RUclips channel too. It would be cool to have like a back story episode though. How it started how it came to be and where it's at now and then where he plans on taking it. I don't even own a Wrx or EVO nor do I know much about either platform but I am here daily for these videos. Absolute great content and creator. You won't find a harder worker that's for sure
Evo all day over a WRX. Now an EVO vs an STI is a different story.
He has videos explaining those questions. Look in the list, I'll say from 3 years old
Those wavespecs holding up for you? no brake wobble in the steering wheel? if not what pads you using on those? i have a set and some red stuff pads i believe but dont want the god awful wobble when i had used regular brake pads on
Making STI's great again!!!
I had a 2016 sti it came with the same wheels but in gray
Nice work.
Some gold color calipers would have popped behind the black
Car looks great!
I didn't like 4WD that much but her storyline was quite unbelievable. How many nuts a wheel does it hold?! Painting was easier in the hot summer. Colder winds, I guess. Is that air intake stock now?! 🗨😏🎭♨️🌌
Probably nicer than when it was new.
Wax and grease remover will work on the adhesive just saying
After you stripped the wheels,I just realised those wheels would look really good in white
Dude you’re amazing
are u gonna sell the hyper blue? is that why you cleaned it so good?😥
