It looks really good! I've got about 4 or 5 flaws that I'm going to work on, some that might require spray touch up, some that might require a q-tip, and others that might buff out. I'll likely dig into those today!
Man, that looks sooo good!!! I am so happy for you!! Most folks will never understand all the intense labor and time invested. Those of us that live to work on our cars will always respect you and love the labor that you invested in your project. I'm also pretty jealous of your success! ;) ;) Bask in the enjoyment of a project well done! I look forward to all your reassembly videos. Happy New Year buddy! :)
Great work! Found your channel last night. Im on the MS Gulfcoast and am restoring a 69 Camaro and plan on having it at CTC this year. Hope to see you and Christine there in Oct!!!
Happy New Year Bill !! Looking good. Enjoyed both episodes. Wonder how many viewers know what a 45 is.😅 Looking forward to seeing what you do with the trunk. Fixing that sag won't be to bad. Wet sand and buff may be your easiest but you probably have it done by now. Until next time.
I had reservations about the hour-plus version, even though some of the big channels (like Vice Grip) can pull it off. That's why I decided to release the short version for the masses, and then this long version for the devoted. Glad you liked them both!
Thank goodness for snow days! School canceled today and finally had time to watch. I held out for the “deleted scenes” extended version. 😂 Oh my goodness, that is beautiful, actually down right sexy. It’s almost like Christine is in sexy lingerie now! She’s wearing a seductive red and white teddy, mmmm. Wow, I learned so much about painting from this video. The absolute best part of this is your enthusiasm & excitement. I could almost feel your emotion when you did the hooray jump while shooting the hood and fenders. Well, congratulations Bill and GREAT JOB! Definitely will be staying tuned in. “Same Bill time Same Bill Channel” (little Batman humor)
Wow! Now that's some commitment right there! I know you've been following along for a while now and I do appreciate it. You know, I had a lot of reservations about releasing a video that was an hour-and-a-half long, thinking no one would be interested or it would get a lot of thumb-downs. The opposite happened! I released it three or four days after the short version, once the views on that one petered out. And who would have thought that the long version got almost just as many views, and it was released MID-WEEK! Guess you never know!
Thanks! If you're spraying it yourself, just be careful with the flattener in the paint. It needs to be agitated often to keep it uniform and consistent.
You know, one of the options that I had was to lay a clear coat over this single stage. I researched it and learned that the clear tends to mute the vibrancy of the color. Someone had black single stage next to one with clear over it, and there was a definite difference. Jack at Mike & Jerry's explained that base-clear was mainly developed to address VOCs and metallics. But for a solid color, a GOOD single stage wins the day.
@RestoringChristine1956 I'm going to do mine victory red and bombay ivory so those are both solid colors. So I guess I'll be going where you went for the paint. 🙌🏻
Thanks for the kind words! I'll be painting the trunk soon, maybe even this weekend. I'm planning on spraying it with Zolatone spatter paint, even though it's not factory original.
I have never used that type paint gun. Years ago I used a binks mod 7. I noticed the pattern is smaller and paint closer in. Is that because of lower air pressure.
Looking great, been following this build since the beginning. I myself am building a 56 still on frame hoping to hit the body soon. Love watching your videos get inspiration to a first time builder. Question though, are you going to put clear over your paint or is it more like a single stage?
Glad to hear from long-haulers! This is a single stage, and I did consider clear-coating everything, but the research I did showed that it would likely mute the vibrance if the color. Bit what sold it is the finish I got afyer just 2 coats. The shine is just ridiculous. Keep us in the loop on your build!
I started to watch this Episode and had to stop and back up a few episodes to Eps 76. I've been working on my '57, 2 dr post 150 series Gasser and got behind on your videos. I love all the info on body filler brands types, as well as the Primer types etc. What primer is best to use on bare metal prior to body filler? I've heard both Self etch out of a can and/or 2X Epoxy type primer. Any thoughts? You videos are very good and always make me want to go back to my garage and keep working. very motivating. I might even try to paint my own like you're doing. Great stuff.
Thanks! On bare metal, definitely go for an acid etching primer, but stay away from the Rustoleum version. I don't know what's in their product, but nothing sticks to it except maybe their own paint. When I primed her the day she came back from blasting, I used an Axalta epoxy primer that was also a metal etch over the entire car. Since then, I've been using mostly rattle cans from the auto paint store.
Good deal, thanks for the info. Much Appreciated. once I get finished with all my rust repair I'll need to seal the whole car before body filler and was wonder about that epoxy primer. so will seal mine with that then start the filler work. Been following since the beginning when I was overseas working for the Government, been retired now for a year and a Half and putting to work what I learned watching you videos, and don't sell yourself short, you are in the big time just like Derek B. in my book. @@RestoringChristine1956
You know, we talked about using a sealer months ago, but when it came time to paint, it didn't come up and I forgot (never used it before). I've already fixed the 3 flaws I had in the ivory, a run and venting pits by sanding and buffing, and a third by sanding, shooting some touch up, and buffing that out. I've got one or two spots in the red to fix next. I'm sure sealer would have helped.
I never saw you set up your gun before you started painting the car. You should have a good size piece of cardboard tapped up some place to shoot on when setting up the gun. You would have seen right away you got too much overspray on the top. Then on the white side, your pattern was way too narrow. If you were shooting any thing metalic you would have tiger stripes.. Set the gun up on a board BEFORE you put any paint on the car.
Thanks for the tips and feedback. I probably wouldn't have realized the overspray issue because that was the first time I've sprayed that product and it's a lot more viscous than everything other than true Imron, which is like glue. As I was laying it down in quantity over a large area I could tell something wasn't right. Once I got the tip sorted out, you have to realize that this product is thicker than most. It doesn't spray thin, which makes the fan look narrow. I sprayed it as I was instructed by the paint shop. Check out Episode 104: ruclips.net/video/KaM9-4vDMD4/видео.html . If this was a 2-stage base and metallic, the paint would have been a lot thinner and would have sprayed completely differently. Like you, I was expecting this material to spray the same way, but it doesn't, which is exactly what the paint rep cautioned me about. Overall, it's looking really good!

She is looking Dam good 👍
I think so too!
Paint job looks great! Impressive pat yourself on the back for that one. Can't wait to see it put together. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks, man! I'm pretty stoked just inagining what it will all look like with polished stainless and an interior unlike anything she's ever had!
Man that bad boy look good
I can't wait to see it assembled and trimmed out!

I can't wait to get it assembled and trimmed!

looks great
Thanks!
Good job. I wish I had your patience. I’m going satin black
Thanks! If you're spraying it yourself, just be careful with the flattener in the paint. It needs to be agitated often to keep it uniform and consistent.
Wow! I'm excited! How do you like it? How would you compare the shine/glamor with a base coat clear coat? Honestly?

Looks amazing get it together love to shake your hand at the tri 5 nationals. What’s your plans for the trunk u not painting it the same ivory white
Thanks for the kind words! I'll be painting the trunk soon, maybe even this weekend. I'm planning on spraying it with Zolatone spatter paint, even though it's not factory original.
I have never used that type paint gun. Years ago I used a binks mod 7. I noticed the pattern is smaller and paint closer in.
Is that because of lower air pressure.
I'd change the filters in your mask!
That respirator was brand new at the start of the shoot and have only seen less than 1 gallon of paint! But they look like they've been through a war!

@@RestoringChristine1956
@@RestoringChristine1956 figures that’s the primer I have. “Rustoleum”, about 6 cans. But it’s good to know before I start slapping body filler on it.
I was here first! Lol
Good job! At the moment, you can only get here from a link!
Why didn't you seal it before paint?
You know, we talked about using a sealer months ago, but when it came time to paint, it didn't come up and I forgot (never used it before).
