Video

I am watching your video for the first time❤❤

These are my top choice so far. Thank you for the video.

Pay attention kids, THIS is the way to do a replacement, NOT the way Eibach and other vids show by disconnecting the UCA, TRE, sway bar, brake line, yada yada...😱

Enjoyed your video chiming in from Perth WA in Aussie. I am going to paint 2 x cars ( my 88 black Merc 560SEC coupe & my 89 dark blue 560SEL 4 door sedan) in the coming months as a DIY in my double garage just like yours. I have set up 300 litres of compressed air with 3 stage filter & have a decent range of guns for primer, base & clear (devilbiss, Sagola etc) and temp fans set up to pull air out of the garage. I fully re-painted my sons Ford Transit Van (white) out on the driveway in 2 stage as too tall for a garage and it actually came out damn good. But my Mercs i want a really good job so i will need to do my homweork as to the garage set to make it as dust free as possible with decent airflow so always looking for good tips. I am just a self taught DIY guy

8 gang Is there any way of having a momentary ground switch instead of power on? ( for active exhaust solenoid)

Where did you purchase your sanding disks. And interface pad from ,paint store or,Amazon.

Looks awesome

Metal tongs on a nonstick pan = cringe.

What happens to this when you rotate your tires?

Can anyone help? I have a 15 tacoma pre runner sr5 i have a rear bumper with 4 18w cube led lights to my understanding i have to wire them to the box to number 7?

Cool video: However be careful about using products from "ACME;" I heard from a Coyete (I think his name was Wiley or something like that) once that they have a tendency to backfire and blow up!

I use box fans blowing into furnace filters blowing out the garage also tape cardboard in between the fans that creates a much better draw and less dust and bugs coming into the garage

I use hvlp. Using my glorified vacuum cleaner motor to blow air thru gun. I use a Graco hvlp gun.

What about the overspray all over your neighbors cars...

The Trizac is crazy priced, but it does save a lot of time with the buffer.

Ridiculous

Thanks for this very informative video, your t-shirt looks like someone snatched the hell out of you😅

I came here for the 2:40 mark. I used this for the first time on a week long trip and the cap getting in the way drove me nuts. Thanks.

Good job, when I saw you painting the basecoat I thought that fan doesn't look very wide, would need a few more passes but you got there in the end. just wondered how long you left the basecoat to dry before applying the clearcoat, was it still tacky or dry enough to go over with a tack rag, thanks. Greetings from the UK.

Tip.... once you turn the exhaust fan on.... let it run 10-15 minutes to get a draft started to pull down dirt/dust from inside the garage/paint booth.....then blow down/final wash and tac the vehicle....if you increase the fan speed/draft/suction during the painting process.... you increase the risk of pulling up/stirring up more dirt/dust from inside the garage/paint booth. A mixture of rubbing alcohol and water works as a final wash. For the final tacking.... a clean hand works better than a tac rag.... you'll be able to feel for dust. Turned out good for DIY garage paint job.

I did paint one on my garage and nobody complained as far as I know. Then about a year later I start preparing a second car for paint and I have my next door neighbor asking me if I going to paint again. 🤔 She doesn't look happy about it.

Thank you friend for the lesson! 👍👍👍

The white grey camo looked tuff and cool. Just clear over that. Forget the base coat. Base coat is for sissy boys.

Amazing. thank you

Can you recommend a good 2 stage air compressor that can keep up with air sanders and sandblasting? Thank you

I just got mine today, didn’t even realize they were local. Happy surprise! Wanted to watch some reviews before I headed out in case I needed to know anything prior to my Utah trip. Now I realized I didn’t get the pump…would any pump for an air mattress do you think?

Lots of good knowledge at 10:00. Great stuff to consider! An alternative to the lift is the Westcott Designs preload collar front and back PLUS a Bilstein B12 spring in the front. The Bilstein spring is made for that extra 140 lbs from the stealth bumper and winch. I have a 2018 TRD Pro with 6112 Bilstein in front and 5160 Bilsteins in the back.

I built my own paint booth using 2X2's and aluminum sheeting I got from a RV junkyard that comes apart as prebuilt panels and is stored in the attic of my shop. When I need it I'll just pull it down rinse it off and bolt it back together rinse it off and paint whatever I need, cost me about $500 to make 10 years ago but it's saved me alot of money.

Looks nice! Most of my problems are from not doing a full panel at once. Just like a wall in a house, it's amazing how much a different angle can change things. On my roof, I've been worried about sanding off too much on parts that got just overspray and not a full thick coat, not wanting to go through what remains. Mine's looking good, but there is some texture seen when we are upstairs or when walking down the stairs. But I'll just go for it, with a fine grit, knowing that I can respray the whole roof with clear if need be. Yours came out great. White seems plain to me, so I'd be tempted to go the fancy route of adding water droplets on the lower panels or something. But a zombie apocalypse FJ cruiser, I think he was based in Payson or N on 17, has been growing on me. Plain white is good for not showing scratches when the primer is the same color, and it keeps the car a little cooler in AZ. But one option is to go the FJ route, with a white roof and the rest with color. That said, I didn't like the sand color a buddy in Phoenix painted his old land cruiser, but I at least consider it these days. And he had an old white toyota pickup too, maybe '86. Thanks for the detailed videos. It gives me some good quality work to aim for.

Nice work with those dents. Any suggestions dealing with inverse dents? The fan blade on my 92 4runner exploded 10 years ago, forming pimples on the hood. At one point I tried hammering them a bit, first with a wood chunk and then directly. But the hood is thicker metal, and I didn't have much success. I've considered just buying a replacement hood from pick-n-pull, and might still do that. But fixing this up is on the list, after the recently painted/cleared roof spots, and upcoming timing belt, windshield, and dash top. With a list like that it sounds terrible, but even in this shape I get strangers on the trail and at the ski resort saying how nice it looks.

I'm on a corner lot on the edge of town inside city limits of Small Town USA. There is a towing business right across the road. My garage used to be used for refridgeration repair. Had an office area, 2 bays. 2 220 outlets. Great set up. But still I don't want to attract the attention of the city, so I keep what i'm doing discreet. Door shut or cracked. 30 inch fan with booth filter running. From the amount of stuff on the filters, I know it's working. I always were a respirator with prefilters even when sanding. For clear coat application, I have a lab coat with the hood covering my head. Full face respirator, heavy disposable gloves. And to minimize fog, I use a 5 stage turbine system. It takes a while to figure out how to lay out clear with a turbine system, but have found the Fuji T series gun with 1.0 works best for me. 1.3 for base. Key is turning the fluid control down and dialing in the gun for your material. Posted this comment for anyone worried about their location or potential complaints. Personal safety is equally important. But at 7 to 9 psi, turbine is a great option if you ate willing to learn the system.

question: what is the tint difference on the left front with the hood? 14:21

I would’ve single staged that and been done in 2-3 coats.

Looks nice. A few days ago I was going to spray just clear coat on a couple spots on the roof of my '92 4runner that had lost their clear coat, but had a spot that I sanded thru the paint, and an old spray can of nearly correct duplicolor. Ended up spraying the can, and then coating as much as I could with the 2k clear coat can. I've sanded with up to 2000, and am starting the polishing. It's not perfect, but it's on the roof and it is doing pretty well. Plus it's my trail work vehicle, and the one the kids get to learn stick on. Yours is turning out nice, but I might have been tempted to go with another color if doing the whole thing. I really like my burgundy (mine is 3k3 garnet pearl, touchup is 3k4 gunfire red metallic), though the burgundy on a recent f150 is a little better, and I always love the one on new Mazdas. Any of those would be close enough on mine to not worry about the interiors of doors and such. But not everyone bothers with that, like a repainted Tesla in town where you see the old color when they open the doors. Thanks for the video. This time mine wasn't perfect, though a big improvement and suitable for the non-visible roof. But while the whole truck doesn't need to be redone, if I redo the hood next I'll be following your more complete process.

Great video. Did you find the 4 cfm compressor had any problems when the pump went on? Did you lose pressure to the gun?

Thinking of buying a InoKraft LVLP gun, saw a guy base and clear a bumper cover with one , did a good job. Seeing you use it on base coat seems like it lives up to its name, low volume hehe. Would like to see someone do a full vehicle clear with one , maybe it would be just slower to lay down the clear I guess.

Take your time and follow the steps carefully for a professional-grade result. Happy detailing! We sent you an email, take a look.

How much base coat and Clear coat did you use for your project?

What speed of reducer do you use for Hot Dry weather us Desert folks should use for low humititties?? I like using single stage paints! Clear Coats cook off in the High Desert sun :)

hmmm....this gives me ideas for the Tacoma.....

Sorry if any of my hair got on your paint!

Well above my pay grade but cool to watch.

How many miles would you say you put on these before you started to see these issues?

Thanks for the info Mister. I'm painting a car next week so all info helps me

Nice job.

Does anyone open inside the switches box and the control box of this kit? This kits is great but I wanna use my OEM switches for this kits

Great video. Didn’t you need custom UPCs?

Good job there 👏 thanks for sharing that information very well explained thanks 😊
