The goal of this channel is to show the general process of automotive collision repair and refinishing using proper techniques and materials to achieve professional results. I am a former professional painter and have been performing collision repairs and refinishing since 2005. I am Master Level ASE-certified in Collision repair. I will be posting videos as the work comes, so it will not be on a regular basis. Feel free to ask questions about the refinishing process.

Nice work! Where are you located?
@@RSCCTV mississippi
@@samg5543 I am in Tennessee so there goes the idea of asking you to restore for me.
Can you please do this for me i really need help
Do you have a contact or something. I have a project I'll love for you to take on
Why would GM do something like that???
@@williepeters1258 beats me
Hi uncle Sam from bailey
@@jonathanpemberton7089 hey, Bailey!
How Do I contact you sir. I have a project for you.
What “epoxy” did you use to protect the inside?
@@sashacunningham1654 either nason 491-16 or 491-10
@@samg5543 speedy response, love it
As always top notch work from Sam G
Does A LOT of talking vs mixing work in his discussion
Hey man, I hit the guardrail yesterday, and right side of my car is messed up I had no leaks whatsoever but part of the frame is messed up bad, car is drivable and all but I’m worried about the cost of fixing it
What are you using between coats? A tack cloth?
If I was wiping it between coats of basecoat it would have been a tack cloth. A must when painting in a garage.
How long do you wait between coats? Thank you!
Hi Sam, I have 2021 Hyundai Elentra Preferred model. I need to replace the Front right hand door skin. Could you please help me with that? Can you please send your shop address and contact details?
Thanks for your interest, but I only work by referral. If you were referred by someone I know, we can discuss
No. I just came across your video on CZcams.
Awesome the attention to detail. Love red E30's. Henna is not my favorite but Im sure this will look great.
Beautiful work my friend
Slick.........nice work :)
how much does that cost
$300-400 per panel usually

Wait, you can't just replace the thermostat itself?? You have to replace the entire thermostat housing??
One assembly
I just did for my Tesla S it was much harder for me. Thank you for sharing this technique.
can you please let me know where you download the dimensions of engine bay
Go thru Oemonestop.com and pay for access
You the Man! Thanks for sharing this video. Big help!
Is this Drew D’s car?
Yep
@@samg5543 aha! Had a feeling. He told me it was being repainted and when I saw the S50 I had a feeling ;)
S50 engine..........well that aint stock :) Car is going to be a handful to drive. Nice work on the paint and body. Cheers.
Beautiful work!
Beautiful work, got to love a red M3 👌
Is there anyway i could get the measurements for the front structure to make sure everything fits correctly like you showed in a another video of this series? Im getting ready to start the same project on a 2013 honda accord sport my step daughter crashed and the insurance totaled
Mmi.llc@outlook.com
I have a question when you take that stuff off from the back are you able to then see the sensor or even feel the sensor with your hand so you're not blindly trying to put the tool back there to take it off?
I don't think you can see it without a mirror but you can feel it if I remember correctly
@@samg5543 thanks for the reply. Also do you have an estimate on how long it took you from start to finish including taking plastic parts off the engine to get access to it
@@samg5543 and is the sensor the same sensor that's below the coolant reservoir and does it connect to anything like the sensor under the coolant reservoir does
Where are you located?
Mississippi
Sam G is a genius . This is one of the best DIY to save time for the BMW 330ci projects. Thank you Kindly for the video. Thanks for sharing
Hey I have a question because I have a 2000 528i and I was wondering does the engine sensor have a connector that has to be plugged into it after you put it in and also is it the same type of sensor as the engine coolant sensor that's below the coolant reservoir?
I have that problem on model s but not need up and down, I need passenger door do move 5mm to left side, I think I need unscrew door bolts to align it
This type of repair makes much more sense than having to mess with the entire front end, repairing plastic bumpers and pieces can save so much money, I have done a couple using hot staples, an old soldering iron with a variety of wedge tips and stainless wire mesh. I like to use a mini belt sander to grind the staple spikes, it gives pretty good control especially if close to a visible edge. Nice work on this, most shops aren't as thorough as you are.
Yes, I also used a mini belt sander to cut them down
Cool video man 👍🏻
Once again... bravo, Sam. After spending a third of my life in automotive trades, I still appreciate watching a professional mastering their trade.
Sweet
Very nice. Chromaclear on this car?
Yes. And chromabase color
Nice job!
Looks great!
It's interesting that people detest Chris Bangle and his E65 7 series because of the so-called "bangle butt". But the E30 M3 also has a trunk lid that appears to be stacked on the body, and no one comments on that. :) Subjectively it's executed better on the M3, I think. On the E65 there are many compound shapes that transition from sharp to quite curved, while on the M3 the surface tension is quite uniform, it's mostly sharp edges with a bit of bow.
Beautiful job. The body is so straight and smooth.
👍✌️
And I thought my Tacoma bedside was a pain...At least it all unbolted. That was cake compared to all this...dang
Do u have a "go to" color for painting silver rims?
Look at GM galaxy silver. I don't remember the code. Could be 519f. I have used it and it looks pretty good if trying to look stock
@samg5543 perfect thank you

Mannn thank you for this video it help me. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 save me money.
Just left the dealership here Houston.tx. They wanted 1,500 parts and labor.😢😢. As of 2/24.
Where did you get the bed skin at?
Local Toyota dealer
Hey Sam. Did you use a mig welder and if so what were your settings when spot welding. I have a 8 foot SRW bed that needs to be redone. Not sure if Im going to try myself or just have a body shop do it. I need both side panels replaced and new bed supports as well.
I have a 20yr old 220V Lincoln 175 that I bought new. I use it on "A" heat setting (lowest) and about 3.5 on wire speed.
You the man bro I'm about to do mine. A true life saver🎉
My wife's 2020 Acadia Denali has the same exact issues..... Steering Assist Disabled, A/C doesn't blow cold, and the Check Engine light. I ran the code and it said Coolant Temp Sensor and/or Thermostat. I bought a $17 coolant sensor from O'Reilly's and tried to replace it today after watching another video that showed replacing sensor without pulling intake off. Had a very hard time trying to break the threaded original sensor loose (extremely tight) and ended up breaking the damn nipple off flush inside the block. Now trying to figure how in the hell to drill it out if even possible... 😡. Acadia only has 51,000 miles and warranty has expired. GMC should have already recalled this!!
Just experienced the same thing with my 2020 GMC Acadia. Surprisingly, the GM Powertrain warranty covered everything! 👍🏾
