Yes do the rattle can Video. Thank you!!!
I will definitely do that. Thank you very much.
Totally makes sense to recondition OEM parts; they are better than any replacements you can get today. I bought all my OEM tins and reconditioned them almost 20 years ago and they’re still on the motor. Useful bit of info: the little rubber bumpers on the flaps are the same part as the two rear apron rubber plugs on Bugs; in case you want to replace them; they can get hard and crumbly with the heat. Btw, Rust Oleum has a great line of products which perform great and don’t break the bank. Another tip; when dipping the paint cans in the warm water wrap them in a zip lock bag so they don’t get wet.
You know, that’s really weird I was looking at them little rubber bumpers, and knew they look familiar, but I could not figure out why. Now it makes sense!
I’ve never had a problem with Rustoleum I really like it. That’s the way the first car was painted on the channel here. But I used an HVLP gun for that one.
A friend of mine used rust, oleum rattle can, with 2K clear rattle can with the harder in it, and it looks absolutely beautiful even after years now. And yes, that’s a good tip! Because the can ends up wet and I have to dry it off lol thank you so much for being here.
Yes I want to see it
I will definitely do it! I hope you have a great weekend, my friend!
You too friend
Those look really good brother Slade. That was a great video. And yes, I would enjoy a video on the rattle cans. I learn something new from each one of your videos.
Thank you so much brother I truly appreciate that! Lots of good stuff coming up.
Mr. Slade looks a little like Ted Nugent and sounds like hockey coach Mike Keenan😁
Great VW teacher
I’m a sterile technician in a hospital and use a ultrasonic every day that’s about three times the size of the one. You have two important things to remember when using this , first after filling with your solution you need to run it for 10 minutes without anything in it this is called a “degassing phase” which gets rid of any excess air in the water how these things work is by something called, cavitation, ultrasounds pass through the water, causing micro bubbles to implode, which causes a suctioning effect that pulls debris out of hard to reach crevices and off of surfaces, but it’s best for getting things out of hinges and hard to reach areas that you normally can’t get to with conventional methods , and second thing try not to overload them just a few pieces at a time, following those techniques will get you the best results!
Outstanding!!! THANK YOU!!!! I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment with such wonderful advice. I truly appreciate that very much. Now I’m going to try this for sure! I wasn’t very happy with the simple green. I may try to use something else. Again, thank you so much. I truly appreciate it.
@@SladesVWBeetle anytime !! love all your videos by the way, always enjoy them !
Please do the paint with rattle can video. Another great video Slade. Really helps.
I suggest running down to the house and grabbing Heather's hair dryer. Yes, I would like to see you do some rattle can trips and ticks.
Wait! What!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO 😂
Oh no!!! 😂😂😂😂 Thanks for being here, my friend.
I'd love to see a rattle can video! Great video!
Flywheel end is the front of the engine 😁
Yes, that is true. And sometimes when I say it’s on the front of the engine, somebody else will say….but it’s on the back? 😂 But you’re right lol.
Awesome video Slade !! I'd like to see that extra video on the rattle can .Thanks have a great weakend. Hi Heather!!
Thanks, brother! I’m definitely going to do that extra video with a lot of tips and tricks with rattle can. I have to tell Heather to stop in here and say hello to you!
HI!!!!!!! Hope you are well
It's something about these ultrasonic video's that's so intriguing to me this is my third time watching this video and I forgot to comment till it was too and i watched it this my 4th time and I finally said something
Hey my brother! I think I need to find a different chemical. I’m not that happy with the simple green unless I’m expecting way too much out of it.
@@SladesVWBeetle what about Super Clean?
@@vayabroder729 I’ve tried that before they sent it to me for free. I really think it was about the same as the purple power from Walmart. It worked, but I don’t think it was anything special.
Just did this recently. I have a HF blast cabinet that was free. The rusted tins were the reason that I finally did all the upgrades to make the cabinet work great.
I’ve honestly been wanting to get one. There was one on the marketplace and I was being lazy about it. I could really use one, that’s a good idea honestly.
@@SladesVWBeetle If you buy the HF one, you may need to make modifications to get it to work good. There are a bunch of videos on CZcams.
Toilet bowl cleaner works real well in the tank :) 2 Goes at 30 mins is the go ;)
Thank you!!! I’ll definitely give it a try!
Yes! Rattle can video, please!
Absolutely! Consider it done.
nice job lets see it.
Thank you!!
I've noticed in mine that if you put the dirty side down and nothing is in the way, it cleans much better. Then, turn it over and run it again.
I actually did that towards the end of the video. I’m not sure if you caught it? Where I turned the valve covers upside down. I need to use something besides simple Green I’m not that pleased with it.
Yes, please do the rattle can video. I'm considering doing a clear coat on my patina. I'm hoping your video will help me decide.
Sounds good I will absolutely be doing it! I’ll basically be showing different cans of paint and talking about techniques and tips and tricks, things of that nature. And remember, since you’re going over top of a patina, satin, matte, and clear gloss.
Looking forward to see the video about the oil bath air filter. I have exactly the same type on my '71 super bettle and not sure it is working properly. Thanks again for the good job!
Excellent!! I’m going to start reconditioning it shortly here and film the painting and explanation and maintenance with it!!
I bought a coffee percolator at a thrift store to warm up my water first. Much faster and gets it near temp.
That’s really good idea! I would need to keep filling it and percolating for 8 gallons though. I love going to the thrift stores. I find a lot of stuff there!
That's true. I wish I had bought a bigger one myself. @@SladesVWBeetle
@@Slatersave I just wish I could find the perfect product to work inside of it.
The simple green just don’t do what I need.
I should do a video on testing a lot of different products.
Not sure what to buy yet.
I use hot tapwater to fill it.
And here’s why……
my wife likes the water hot enough coming out of our spigots to burn the skin off your body.
I don’t know why some like it that way. 😂
@@SladesVWBeetle What about Super Clean?
@@vayabroder729 honestly, they offered me some more for free, and I declined.
I’ve used it on some stuff, and it seems just like the purple power from Walmart. So I don’t like to push it on anyone. It’s not a bad product. But I didn’t really get too excited with it. Lol.
I don’t wanna freak you out but you had a Scorpion on your neck the whole video
😂😂😂😂
Good one 😂
Great video mate😉..gotta get me one a those cleaners as I’m just rebuilding my 69 baja🙂.. all the best from Scotland 🏴
Great video Slade. I am planning on getting the 8 gallon ultrasonic cleaner. Various types of solvents, with warnings, can be used in the ultrasonic cleaner.
Thank you my friend. I truly appreciate that. I’m going to start testing out different products with my ultrasonic cleaner. Maybe I’ll do a video with that. I’m not that pleased with the simple green.
Yeah scrape it off before putting it in, I got in trouble at work for putting a real dirty cylinder head in, brand new solution and it was black! No use if you want to clean a carburettor straight after!
Nice ! Woundnt mind seeing the 2k clear
Rattle can video please. Im a motorcycle guy and have always used Dupli-color premixed lacquer for my bikes so the finish is gasoline resistant. Ill be curious to see how rattle can performs in that regard. Im working a 68' sedan also as my first bug project. Its completely disassembled and rusted so I use your videos for reference and assembly/restoration tips. Thanks!
Thank you, Jeff! And first of all, thank you for being here.
I see we have a lot in common.
I started out on a dirtbike at eight years old and rode my whole entire life!
I was mostly building a lot of choppers, sure miss doing that. But my back is tired lol
I have always used the HVLP gun with rust oleum.
But since a friend of mine used, Rust, oleum, rattle can, and 2K clear in a can with harder in it, it’s been three years now and his car still looks beautiful.
So I’m definitely going to try that. Welcome aboard, my brother!
@@SladesVWBeetleYes. We are about the same age. Always had MC 's but my reaction time is not so good now and car drivers are terrible. So I'm getting away from bikes. That's the reason I bought the bug. It's similar to a motorcycle to wrench on, parts are reasonable, and the community is great.
@jeffreydrumm9134 yes I know exactly what you mean.
The last time I was two wheeling a while back, the person coming towards me, I think might’ve been looking down at their phone.
They ended up in my lane.
Had I not been an experienced rider, It would’ve been over.
My wife who you see in some videos on her who so loved being on a motorcycle, then retired from getting on the back of mine.
Although she did trust me. Things have changed a lot brother, it’s really sad.
I’ve been doing Beetles my whole life as a second hobby.
And now it’s my only hobby lol. Welcome aboard, my friend! I will be 60 in July. Time has went so fast.
Check Sunday night at 9 PM Eastern time I may be doing a live chat would be happy to have you part of it
Very good Video, wanted to see how the ultrasonic cleaner worked on these parts. I have been contemplating on getting an ultrasonic cleaner, you might just have put me on the side of getting one . Thanks
Thank you, brother! I really like it, I still am searching for the perfect chemical to put inside of it. That would work better. I’m going to have to try a few things. I hope you’re doing well my dear friend!! ✌️
Please do the video on using a rattle can!!
I’m actually going to work on that video this week. Thank you for commenting. I truly appreciate it.

I think the worst part for me brother is doing the bodywork. I have never enjoyed bodywork at all. My father was much more patient than me, and I would just watch him and roll my eyes. I don’t mind the rest of the work. It’s the sanding. I think it gets a little rough on my old bones and muscles as I’ve gotten older. Thank you so much for for being here.
My paint is far from smooth in many places. I've been using Poppy's Patina, but would like to do something a bit more permanent.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that before. I’ll have to Google it.
I like the idea of using the 2K clear because it has the hardener in it right in the can. I wished I had a can, on hand to show.
I should probably grab a can of it before, the rattle can video. So I can at least show it. I’ll need it anyhow.
Do you have a video on changing a type1 ,1600 85.5to an 87
I seen on the playlist here ENGINE category. That’s where I seen his 87mm piston I install. Helped me a lot
What is the right way to mic a crank
I don’t have a video on that yet. Not until I build the extra stock motor that I have on hand.
👍
Thank you, my friend!
Got a quick question Mr Slade, my local marketplace has a 1970 westy 1600 single port for sale for $300, would that be a good canidate for a back up engine for my 66 bug? It will be a spare, it will need rebuilding im sure.
