MUSIC
I sometimes and use 50’s/early 60’s recordings taken from acetates with no identifying artist or song name. I have unfortunately used music after seeking permission from an artist and this music has now been released causing me issues, this means that from time to time some of my videos will have to be edited and reloaded. This seems crazy to me as I’m actually generating a fan base for artists to only then be penalised for promoting them. If you are a music artist producing surf or rock and roll music and would like me to use your music then please contact me as I can give you free air time in front of a guaranteed audience. I also use music from the royalty free catalogue from youtube. I also plan to produce my own channel music.

I've used a soft edge by rolling back the masking paper but that's a larger scale. This soft edge with masking tape will come in handy. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for clarifying. Sincerely, an Australian 😬 were simple convicts so we don’t use them fancy words
Trev - New Zealand Railway Signals Engineer by day - machine shop junkie by night. First watched one of your videos because I had a bit of sheetmetal to fold. Thought who is this guy? Fell in love with the channel and cant wait to see the van complete. Your style and passion is fascinating even though you cover stuff I dont really need to know!
Good to get a reminder every now and then 😉🙂👍👍
Good morning Trev, more tricks, tips and techniques for great paint results. You sure do get professional results without the huge investment in equipment. So many people are convinced that if you don't have a half million dollars worth of equipment, you aren't any good. You are living proof it is all about talent. Take care.
Wow! How to turn metalwork into a thing of beauty. You are a true inspiration & I wish you were one of my tutors at college as a young man.
Keep up the good work Trev, I find every video you do highly entertaining, I've even got my wife watching who had no interest whatsoever before.
So the soft edge blends the paint, thats pretty clever.
Top notch craftsmanship Trev, thanks. No CA ever looked that good from the factory - and I worked on plenty of them back in the day.. ATB, Les
We have a tool in America called The E-Z Edger that does the tape trick for you. It is very consistent and you can set the amount of fold over to whatever you like. Cost like $70 and I feel it's well worth it.
Hello Trev - hope you are having a nice Friday. Cheers from AUSTRALIA.
Spot on Trev, Never seen this one before. Thanks Dude, much appreciated.
I remember the first videos of the Bedford, it's come a long ways since then. Hope you do an update of it's progress as well as your tutorials. Always an enjoyment to watch.
Masking tape makes a paint job.Masking it's an Art on its own
👍👍👍🏴😁✌️
I love the detailed explanations you give Trev so much information you are an excellent teacher.
What a goldmine of a channel! I'm learning so much from you, thank you for sharing.
The content of these videos is fantastic. Van looks ace.
As the gent below says "another awesome video", I learn something every time from you. Your knowledge is second to none. I do enjoy and wait for your next update. Its a bit like for me waiting for the Classic Ford mag every Month. Thank you.
legendary skills and tricks mate... thanks for sharing! and keying us all in!
Lovely pun m8
Another awesome video. I learned a ton from this and I can't wait to try some of these taping techniques in my project.
Trev, Loving the old school colours on the van, Another masterclass great tips & tricks. Cheers Dave
davejaguar66 thanks Dave much appreciated. Cheers Trev 👍
Love your attention to detail Trev, Happy Trails, Doug
Greetings from sunny Queensland. Well done Trev.
Very cool Trevor, thanks for sharing your wisdom and experience!!
Another priceless video from our favorite RUclips. Thanks Trev!
Trev the Panel Whisperer! Everything I never thought I needed to know about bodywork. I see now I have a long road ahead of me to restore my 59 F150. But as I watch your videos it becomes less a mystery and more a wish that you lived here in Washington so I could have you do it! LOL... Seriously Thank you for the tips and tricks!!! Love your work!
Great tip! Learned this a while ago by watching the Gunnman but he never got into the details like you've done here. Cheap, easy and very effective. Thanks for sharing!
Another awesome video Trev, really enjoying every episode. Can’t wait to come and buy some coffee and cake from your finished van.
You’ve really re-enthused me to finish my project.
Cheers dude!!! 😎👍
Thank you for another great video Trev. Very kind of you. Good man!
Simply awsome Trev as always.
Great detail Trev, the one stop shop for info.
Really like your tips Trev , keep them coming 👍👍🏴
Greetings from across the pond Trev! So much good info...thanks for posting these vids! Hopefully I'll remember all of these tips and tricks when I have a go at painting my Beetle this summer.
Amazing tip. I will share it at work. I build furniture and we occasionally have to blend a touch up , I think this will work great. Not to mention my van project. Thanks again!
Another great video Trev. More great skills and tricks, i like attention to detail works out great. Fantastic paint finish too !
Cheers, Jeff.
cabdriveruk cheers Jeff 👍
Another awesome video 👍 Sir You do fabulous work 👏 Thank You
Love your work Trev.
Great video trev another very handy tip for us a pleasure to watch and learn how its done👍😊
Very nice explanation and demonstration! Thank you! It turned out superb!
Very clever trick trev, I’ve seen other soft edge masking videos, but never really understood the theory behind it, now I do. Thanks pal 👍🏻
Love this little trick. It makes so much sense.
Excellent job again. Van is looking great
Hi Trev - that is a neat trick which I will use soon as I have some touch ups to do on my Ford Bantam pick-up which I completely resprayed last December. It looks great but I helped a mate move building materials and it collected a few scratches - inevitably! - some of which went though the paint!
I was thinking of getting an airbrush for the job but this will do it!
Love your channel!
Well done magnificent love your work Pete.
Wow, that's a really great technique! Thanks for the tip.
Top tips again Trev , looking forward to the next one keep um coming mate 😉
that soft edge method can also be used in double layer if you want to do a base coat the pull one layer off with the soft edge for the clear a few mill back so you get the complete base edge covered, esp useful for waterborne bases
You can also get curved masking tape for going around corners, i use that to make my soft edge runs when doing inside/outside corners
Great vid Trev. Love the taping tricks. Van looks beaut! Right hand rear looks straight as a die
Hi Trev, beautiful color combo you picked for the Bedford! Not sure if I missed it in another video but all I've seen of the paint so far is close-ups of areas you're working on. Would love to see some video a little further back of the whole CA so far. Thanks, and motor on!
Thank you the effort, tutorial and explanation. There must be a lot of camera work, lights then computer software editing. Putting food on the table for 6, with a work at home wife, always left me exhausted after long days at a Buick dealership on flat-rate working from 7AM till 9PM and a short drive home. This is what a man does sometimes plus showing us learned skills. I did not ever work in our body shop but have painted 5 vehicles and half of an aluminum boat for a friend. Know, enjoy some down time after a job well done!
Hi Trev, great job! I‘d never seen this before. Cheers from Germany. 🙋♂️
i learned a new term "door shut". here in the US we'd call it "door jamb". also i liked seeing how to fold that tape and that turning the roll would give you a wider or narrower fold. way cool.
The van’s looking stunning Trev!
Trev's Blog that’s a fab color too! That’s direct gloss right?
still going strong, guys like you are awesome!
Thanks Trev this helped me out.
Well you love every comment so i don’t even need to tell you how bloody good your videos are mate. They are really bloody good though! Thanks for the tips!
Sean Wardman Thanks Sean much appreciated. Cheers Trev 👍
Fantastic colors!! Another good video sir.
Brilliant tips and info again. When you masked up with the blue, I thought a blue pinstripe round the panel would look good, but then when you took it off, I changed my mind LOL. Your next video subject is spot on for me, I can't work out how to use mixing cups-I've watched videos, but the cups I get aint the same as the American ones. And I use a 100ml small gun for most of the jobs I do, so your next vid will be great.
Fascinating, useful and entertaining. Top man
Great work, we’ve all been there. I find painting 2k dg in less than perfect conditions benefit from being thinned 2 or 3 times more than I normally would if I was painting in a booth. The trick is to turn the fluid needle in and put thinner layers on, build it up with 3,4 or maybe 5 coats to get depth. This way there’s no risk of getting runs, trying to flow paint in the cold is why it gets overloaded! All the best, from the Forest of Dean
Trev, you should do a compilation of the great music that you use on your videos!
Once again Trev brilliant vid,looking forward to the mixing paint vid as it's my nemesis......
Awesome tips Trev, this is stuff I will definetly use. I saw a Bedford truck just 2 days ago by the way, still a workhorse
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing this! 👍
Thanks for these tips, really appreciated.
What a great tip, I often wondered how to feather a soft edge.
Good vid Trev 👍 yea most painters would be lost with out good old false edge masking. Well once i learnt how to do it i was impressed keep up the killa work mate 👊
Great tip👍 Thank you Trev.
Thanks Trev, most interesting, I learned a trick or two in this video.
Down Under loves your work,,,I actually need to mix 25ml soon to paint a decal over base coat and then clear coat it,,,,timing is perfect
Why have you not got a Zillion subs? Awesome stuff! Thank you for sharing!
Great work as always 😁
Started in body shops at 21, 44 now and every shop loved my ocd masking skills, prep work is essential to me, put little more time in goes so far for quality, the hinge section of doors on the car has pissed me a few times or some jambs are frustrating.
Great video Trev another trick is to tent or tunnel the ends of blow ins rather than thin last coat.
Great information. Thanks!
Good job Trev, now not just Aussies like me understand what is key. Cheers mate. Chuckle chuckle.
Gday Trev Thanks for the clues great instruction.Music to laud at the end.
A great tip. A great video. Also I'm going to include the "Just about parallel" to "plumb nearly". I think terminology is important with communications. Thank you very much.
very keen to see your next video about mixing small amounts.
Great video. Learned something new, nice tip. Thanks for sharing. Namaste! : )
niceone trev,class vids...... if using 2k paint i always find it alot easier blending by just sticking a coat of clearcoat over it anyway,take it a tad further and just melt ur clear...blends the 2k in alot better... cheerz.
You're a clever lad, great stuff.
Just get better and better this channel, 👍👏👏👏👏
Use to use tat method when priming up repairs. Great work there.
Should have read tape method..
Pretty awesome work.
nice work man
Wow. Nice job
G'day from West Australia, creating a key for paint to stick. Fairly old expression. Quit common in the 1920's up to about the late 40's.
Nice little tip trev I'm sure it will come in handdy
Hi Trevor. Another fantastic video. Looking forward to the next one. Can the fans get a Spotify play list of the music in your videos please . Have a great weekend.
you are a legend
hands looking a bit oompa loompa coloured there Trev. have a good weekend mate!
brilliant stuff!!
Actually, when you put that blue fine line tape on, it looked like the van would have suited a painted blue pinstripe around that panel. Great video, thanks.
Looks good Trev, you wouldnt know it was there. Ive had some success doing smaller 2k solids repairs and spots with the PPG Deltron 8731 spot blender in the aerosol- Light coats though. pretty much what you are doing with the thinner though. Its handy for homegamers in a small aerosol .
Very interresting!
You do good work - Bedford is looking sharp
Gorgeous finish. Please show us some wide shots of the van. I's going to be a really head turning unique vehicle!
Very nice channel mr.Trev.Little advice for you,if you you use dedicated blending thinner for blending area you will be able to have perfect fade out area that have no need for polishing.of course you can polish but after some time scratch from grey 3m scotch brite will show again.it is easy just ask some painter to show you.btw i love to watch your channel and keep filming!
Glad to see you did the masking hints and tip's. How about a talk about dealing with gloss levels as I work with paint that can be 0% to 100% gloss and cannot simply use fast cut plus like you did as my of example 20% gloss paint would end up 100% in the area you polish ?
That's impressive. Can't wait to see the whole van finished. Yeah, don't threaten to key someone's car in Australia. Likely to get your lights punched out. Porsches, BMWs, Mercs and Jags are popular targets.
Nice trick!
