    1- use good automotive primer, I use duplicolor. 2- light sand the primer 3- use whatever paint you want, I prefer regular rustoleum, its hella tough. 4- use 2k clear coat, not 2x! Eastwood and spraymax are good 2k's. This is since you love the cans so much...

    Great builds and always good to watch, don’t always believe what you read on spray cans those one coat solutions don’t always work out. my advice is always use a good etch primer on bear metal it’s more steps but it lasts longer against rust and is far more durable in the long term and helps with a good finish. keep up the good work 👍

    • @BIGWIGGLE223
      @BIGWIGGLE223 Před 4 lety +1

      I second this recommendation. Once you've used a true metal etching primer you'll never go back to the general purpose primer. Just be careful with that stuff on plastics. It'll turn it into a pile of steamy goo.

      I have commented on this twice in 2 separate videos. His little air cooled VW style oil slinger contraption isn't going to do a thing. He needs to find a way to install seals and pack it with grease. Its gonna fill up with sand, mud and all kinds of stuff, especially the first time he sinks the axle below water. All that work will be toast. He did and awesome job everywhere else, but his rear axles are full of fail.

      From the shine on the metal underneath, I would put some of the blame on prep. A good acid etch primer would have helped. Soap, water and Scotch Brite pads followed by immediate drying off would have done wonders.

    Well done that is the best buggy you have done , so far , I'm sure there will be many more . Your lathe work is so good it must save you a fortune on parts ,& yours would be much stronger . The time you spend on your projects , I don't think you could put a price on them , because they are hand built , for that reason no one would pay what they are truly worth . You may have to build a bigger trailer to put it on so you can carry more stuff with you . Mate it's brilliant , you should be so proud of yourself . Job well done ! Mal

    Hi mate, that silver needs to be painted over a black acrylic base coat in order for it to adhere properly, it also needs a good quality clear coat in order for it to shine and really pop in the sunlight.
    Also just a suggestion, if you’re going to build a buggy like this in the future with a bike engine it may be a good idea to make a removable engine subframe so that you can lower the engine out of the frame.
    Aside from this you’ve done an awesome job again.

    I watched this when the videos were coming out, but I had one of the videos from the series pop up as a suggestion yesterday, so I rewatched them. Now that it's been a while and a half, I now had suggestions. Wheel alignment for sure, maybe an electric wench that drives a chain and sprocket that spins on the outside of what you already have connected to the drive shaft, on a free spot on the chain. And maybe some optional flip out/down mirrors. The reverse would just be on a push button that only works with the motor in neutral or requires the clutch to be fully pressed when you press the button. But that's all in the past now. Oh well.

    Great to see you finishing up the buggy. For paint....have you ever considered Rustoleum enamel in gallon cans. Combined with Valspar enamel hardener it shoots well, dries fairly quick and ends up as a tough coat. I shoot it from a purple HF gravity feed gun. Lots faster than doing all the little spray cans and usually ends up cheaper to boot.
