- Very brief history about myself as this is my first CZcams upload. I have been doing restorations for about 6 years now professionally. I worked at a Ford Mustang only restoration shop while I was in college and fell in love with it and haven't left since. I've always been an artist doing drawings, painting, airbrushing, etc and I take each build very seriously with extra special attention to all the details. I have a brother who does everything I do except paint. (I'd say he is better at buffing than me, but I'm the older brother so I can't do that haha). This is a 1951 Chevy truck me and him got in about 8 months ago. We have worked on it on and off, and in total, before buffing it, we have about 350 hours into the rust repair, body work, priming and sanding and prep for paint. I took pictures, but did not document it well like this video as I only had my iPhone to use. The next builds I do I will be making films like this for the customer and for all of you to watch and enjoy! Feel free to leave a comment or question as I will be responding to all and am not "stingy" about my knowledge as 99% of other restoration experts are.

Beautifull work! I have done restorations for over fourty years and iam now retiared so iam still at it. I just found your channel and I really enjoy it. Keep up the great work!
Joe Estes thank you! Check out my Instagram page @buffbrosrestorations. I hardly post on CZcams as it just takes sooo much time to edit and film. Thanks for the kind words.
Nice paint job! Finally a video where someone painted then cleared without painting, sanding it off, painting, sanding it off, painting, sanding it off, painting, sanding it off, painting. Then sand and buff, sand and buff, sand and buff.
Shops that do that really achieve nothing other than fooling customers into charging 3x the hours they needed to be. That and risking a whole lot more shrinkage later on.
Thanks for the reply. I’m a first time truck restoration guy. I would really like to paint it myself but with all the different techniques you can find on the internet it’s hard to decide what to do. I like your technique, I’m going with it. Thanks
@@dalemccary6526 when you get to the final sand and prepping for paint look up my Instagram page and shoot any questions you have on there. Happy to help out! Or if you’re near northwest Ohio I’d be happy to help ya spray it. I don’t charge much by all comparison. @buff_bros_restorations
I would certainly appreciate the help. Too bad I live in south Texas😆. If I run into a snag I’ll let you know. Thanks!!
I am painting a 51 chevy cab almost the same color , rock moss green on the cab and bed jet black on fenders and running boards ,I am using single stage paint we are doing some advertising art on the doors
Very nice
antonio martinez thank you!
Check out my work @buffbrosrestorations on Instagram :)
Awesome 👏 work.
Excuse me what kind & # of spray gun did you used for paint & clear , I will really appreciate it your information, thank you
I want to know step by step what paint primer and what other stuff u used in the painting I'm very new to paint job but I love your work and I want to paint same like that
Polyester primer sanded 80 grit, 180, 320, 400. Epoxy sealer. Wait an hour for it to flash. 3-4 coats of basecoat. Wait 8-12 hours for it to flash. Tack it off. 5-6 coats of clear stepped out in between each coat until it is just tacky. (You’ll be spraying clear for 4 hours if you wait the right times). If you don’t, you’ll get solvent pop, die back, runs, etc. follow Tyler Krause and the refinery on Instagram. I follow all their steps to a T
Can you put a video how to remove dashboard on 1950 GMC, please
Cool! No more videis thouhmgh
Sorry! I have been so busy since I made this I just don’t have the time to put into all of it. You can follow my Instagram page though @buffbrosrestorations
to much over spray fans not working well?
Well… firstly it was my first time spraying that clear I think or maybe I sprayed it once before so I was still getting used to it but also, I was working at a body shop and the filters needed changed. Martin senour basecoats really clog up the filters fast.
What color and brand paint did you use?
I’m not sure on the color code. The customer just came in and picked one from our color deck. The paint was sherwin Williams. While it is good stuff I now use RM for most of my jobs and Limco for some of the more budget friendly jobs and am super impressed with the quality you can get from this product.
So what happened to letting us watch you take a cab in the engine out man that you're just like all the rest of man you start out real good then you skip to the end of it
