- Well it’s finally painted. My very quick easy paint job ended up not being so quick and easy. I hope you enjoyed watching this little project and there is a lot more to come.

Good video. Im 56 years old recently semi retired (cabinet maker) and I'm about to paint the first vehicle ever . Im using the same paint but in a lime green on a 1986 GMC crew cab that my Grandad bought at auction in 1997. I had a fair amount of body work to do. Mostly rocker panels, which I made myself from a couple fenders out of a scrap yard. Far from perfect but passable for me which is really all that matters as i will keep this truck for the rest of my life. Conversationally, my daily driver and it has been for the better part of 10 years now is a 76' K2500 which also came from Grandad. That one he gave me while he was still alive, and is the standard cab, both are standard transmission. It also will soon get paint but the body is pristine
Dude!!! Don't beat yourself up this way!! You did an amazing job, and like myself I'm sure you have helped so many people to avoid the mistakes that you did. Very helpful. Than k you so much. You saved me a lot time and money. I really appreciate.
Thanks man, I appreciate it! Happy to have helped you out.
I always have a extra door or 1/4 panel prepped same as vehicle and test spray to work out the lack of experience to get a perfect spray before hitting the main job
You did a good job one tip I learned with a metallic paint is put two ball bearings in your paint and keep the metallic stirred up while painting I painted my first car metallic blue and it came out awsome and it was a single stage paint
Did a awesome job man and can appreciate the honesty in your work. I paint with urethane daily and I go threw the same things so I completely understand
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
What reducer? Fast slow medium? Pressure high u have to move faster......
How is the urachem paint holding up?
I have bought urethane kits from TCPglobal , jet black and rock moss green , good paint for the money, I think the secret is several light coats , if your prep is good and you take your time it comes out fine . I love the color you used, I have never been bold enough to try metallic .
Thank you, it seems to be good paint for the money.
Sooo what it's still amazing it looks Good man you had fun your truck not anyone else love the color
Thanks man!
Im new to the channel here. I like what you did and how this truck turned out. Thank you for everything.
Great job thanks for showing
Thank you!
@@coreysgarage6389mistakes are how we learn. Nice for people to learn from others mistakes👍👍. Thanks for showing😁. Tough to find a happy medium
Turned out very good. Going to be spraying your thing for the first time myself next week.
Good luck!
Thanks for showing so much of the detail and struggles you faced. Those of us about to attempt the same thing are taking strong notes and working up the corage to do the same thing. It's looking good - much better than before that's for sure!
Thank you and good luck!
Slow reducer. You can even go 4-1-2 and do 3 coats. I ended up sanding the first coat which had orange peel, but no runs. Then with it reduced, came out nice. Med wet coat
I have heard some people say that tcp global paint is thick. Most likely it may be due to not requiring a reducer. Your truck looks pretty good. I think when spraying tcp global or any brand auto paint, is to test spray the auto paint on a piece of masking paper to see how the paint is spraying out of your gun and to make spray gun adjustments, before you paint the vehicle. If you need excessive amounts of air pressure to apply the auto paint, that means you need a reducer to cut down the thickness of the paint. Using a slow reducer with your auto paint here may be your best option. You may have to contact tcp global to find out what the best paint/reducer is best, before you paint with their products. A auto paint that only requires paint and hardener, leaves no room for error. A slow reducer helps with single stage paint jobs, from what i hear.
Looks awesome bro grate job thanks for the Info
It came out really good...nice blue...
Thank you
Completely covered my paint area with the heavy duty white farm plastic. It's holding up well, and I spray it down before each paint job and let it dry off. The white makes the room brighter.
where do you get this plastic at?
@@drdjh2003 Amazon. It's over 100 a roll, but its heavy duty white. Holds up well
Omg, my nightmares are back! Drape that air hose over your shoulder! Lol
Cool truck by the way👍😁👍
Thank you!
I use single stage all the time 8-1-1 napa paint works pretty good
Nice paint job. I love the color. I've been thinking about painting my LS swapped 2011 Chevy Colorado that color. I just subscribed to your channel.
Thank you, it’s a beautiful color!
Subscribed back at ya!
When I took on painting a honda I bought in my garage, I went to the junk yard picked up a fender from a junk car practiced on that.
It’s always good to practice
great shine
Thank you
Great video !
Thank you!
I only use single, lower pressure reduce paint , I spray 2 ' sec. , turn cap Cris Cross, put tac coat, 25 min to dry is what I do👍
What is lower pressure reduce paint?
it's confusing that the base wouldn't ask for a reducer on the datasheet, but does ask for a hardener, weird. As somebody already said, you should check the temperature on the reducer. It might have been too hot and it was drying to quickly. I would have also gotten the reducer from the company that makes the clear/base, it's typically not that expensive. and most importantly: great Job. this is good looking and the body work was substantial. You cannot expect to get the same custom pro job that somebody who sprays every day for 10 years gets, but you really killed it.
Nice color.
Nice job
Thank you!
The stripes looks kinda cool to me. 👍
Looks great! Thanks for sharing. What psi did you end up using?
I hope mine turns out that good.
I’m sure it will come out at least this good!
Sand the runs with 800 and give it a mist coat with 4:1:1 10 inches away to get the metallic to lay even
Most single stages are 4.1.1. I am just starting to spray my 66c10 resto
Do you remember what air pressure you had running though your gun while painting? And what pressure is recommended/ You suggest I use for this exact color when reduced 4:1:1
I don’t remember but I wouldn’t follow how I did it, it didn’t lay down too good.
Walk the vehicle using metallics. Then back the gun up and repeat the walk...
I know this was a while ago. Question! How much paint did you use? Was that done with 1 gallon of color?
Nicely done, love the color!
Dude, I’m surprised you didn’t build a downdraft system in the floor.. 🤣
It would have been just a little too much effort...
I had a hard time shooting urethane silver metallic on my 250 ! I believe i reduced it to much, but it just didn't cover well at all.
I should have reduced this more, it had no trouble covering and was just too thick.
Silver is easy to get corn rows, have to overlap more, and back off a little more, I hate painting silver metallic,,😂
I'm planning to paint a truck at home myself, but I've never done it before. Would enamel or urethane be easiest for my first time?
It’s hard to say but I much prefer 2 stage.
Solids in urethane single stage is good. I would never paint a metallic single. It doesn't flow like the lacquer did. Metallics i go base clear
It's OK look 👍
Thanks
Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Mexico 🙂
What should I do about rust spots? Sand it out completely and primer it? Thanks
It depends on how much rust. If there are holes it needs to be cut out and new metal welded in. If it’s just surface rust you can sand it off and the using a rust converter spray can help keep it from coming back.
@@coreysgarage6389 like little spots from rocks on the hood. Thanks
@@junzilla13 Just sand them off and prime it.
Moving gun to slow, trying cover, when you do that you get runs.
Dont use harbor freight gun.
How much paint did it take total to cover
Awesome! How do you keep the water out of your air lines?
Get an in-line water filter
I use a regulator with a water separator and a filter right at the spray gun.
Is that cobalt blue firemist?
It’s called burnout blue
@@coreysgarage6389 I noticed on the tcp website that color looks a lot lighter than on your truck. I want to play around with urethane and paint some sand blasted steelie 15' wheels to start on. I've painted some but not in over 15 years, did a chevy 4x4 in olive drab dupont centari.
You need at least a 40 gallon tank on your compressor for the paint to properly atomize. Also metallic paint is not very do it yourselfer. It's very hard to work with.
That is Bullshit! There are several videos of people laying down perfect paint jobs with smaller tank. Paint atomization has nothing to do with the size of your tank. That is the job of gun used with the proper settings. Don't comment on something you don't know shit about.
@@tomthumb1498 you are correct. I painted a toyota corolla with an 8 gallon tank and it was fine.
@@tomthumb1498 the volume of air coming into your paint gun does affect atomization. There's a minimum of CFM required . The small rank air compressor doesn't have enough.
I would stick to solid colors when doing SS painting its way more forgiving.
Your moving too slow if your gonna turn the pressure up that high
Nah, if I went faster it would be dry and have a lot of orange peel. I didn’t have my gun setup correctly at all for single stage. I have learned since then. I have always been a two stage painter.
Did a gallon do the whole job?
Yes, more than enough.
@@coreysgarage6389 awesome I’m shooting today and have a gallon and a half I do cars normally so wasn’t sure on truck
Update blue pearl covered in a gallon easily
@@coreysgarage6389did you have to do 2-3 coats of color per the tds(instructions)? Going by the paint im using. Was shocked to read im sposed to do 2-3 coats instead of ,1.

Just moving a lil to slow
Statistics show that ladders are more dangerous than a load gun. That's why I have ten guns, in case some maniac tries to sneak in a ladder!
Even though this is an older video, I can’t help from interjecting that most everything you’ve done is wrong. You need another coat or two or three of sandal primer so that when you block it out, you don’t get into the metal and you don’t expose any filler and where you don’t expose any guy, so that your whole vehicle is covered with gray no difference in anything that way you’ll have a slick body truck that the paint will lay down on and look like a very good paint job. Right now you’re gonna have waves dips and imperfections in it, which if you’ve done this much work before Not a little more 10% more to get an even better quality job because you’re the one that’s going to have to say yeah I painted it and they’re just gonna shake their head and say yes I I see but don’t ever paint my vehicle please.
320 is used after 220 then 400 then 600. If you don’t follow the steps right like you just did you’re going to have scratches at primer sealer may not cover. Unless you put it on like it’s a primer coat and then take it down to 400 then 600. you’re going to have.
I understand it’s an old truck and you don’t care about it but you’re giving people the wrong information on here that they can just do it with any kind of sandpaper. Worn out sandpaper does not cut it contours. So the lumps and valleys and low places it just follows it doesn’t , flatten out a rough area. 100 grit sizes is how you take it down properly. You are also using a primer sealer when you really don’t have to. It’s not going to help if there is any moisture up underneath that truck anywhere it’s still going to bubble. It’s more expensive when if you had taken it to 600 and smooth it with the right steps there would be no reason for seal. It would all be gray and then you could use that as a solid color to base your color off of. Remind me when I say you can do whatever the heck you wanna do on your own thing but don’t broadcasted and make it look like you know what you’re doing because you’re giving the wrong information to the masses which fail to do the job right because they think you know what you’re doing When you don’t. I mean, you know what you’re doing, but you’re not teaching that. if you tell someone on here while I just did this and it worked out OK they’re going to do the same thing. Think about this meditate on it. Ask yourself why you’re busy dispensing incorrect information to the public so they get caught up in the wrong path.
I’m blown away. You’re worrying about dust yet. You didn’t finish the truck properly. Oh my God help me now.
Also urethane paint is not tricky. You’ve missed titled your video whether it was on purpose to make people look at it. That’s not how you dispense quality information to the public. You don’t lure them in with the sexy photo of some girls bum and then talk about pain your thing is not tricky , if anything I’d say water-based paint or enamel paint would be far more tricky if not use to it.
