Ive being doing it for nearly 30 years and im still mastering it, we are always learning and improving your doing a great job great video its looking great.
I've just bought an hx ute, 308 auto and is pretty straight but it has a crap diy paint job, surface rust in spots and has been bogged in places. Bodywork is what I'm looking forward to the least... I have zero experience. Just found your channel so I look forward to watching and learning! Keep up the good work
Great videos! I painted my car a few years ago with similar minor body work similar to this. As you say there's always things you aren't happy with but in reality only you know it's there!
Great video as usual. I was hoping you'd answer some booth questions because I want to build one. Mostly to do with washing down 1. With the wall lining, how do you stop the water either wrecking the wall board or going under the lining sheet and staying wet in the frame of the shed. 2. Lots of people say to wet the floor before spraying but also that need low humidity for paint application. How do you keep humidity down with deliberately wetting the whole shed down?, particularly with warm booth? Cheers Poyda
Great questions mate. The panelling I used in my shed is concrete sheeting (like what you’d use in a bathroom) so it is waterproof. Doesn’t take much to wipe a wet sponge over them to clean them up if need be. I wet the floors down when I’m painting topcoat just to help stop some of the overspray from circulating. With the constant airflow being sucked in through the intake it isn’t humid in there at all with the floor damp.
Great job mate How long will you leave it sit before you paint the car the reason why I’m asking I got my car painted last year and I’m finding the epoxy is shrinking back and now the needs to be rubbed back and painted again not happy
Far too variables to get into on the topic of shrink back, but anything that’s getting slammed with material for build and rubbed and painted ASAP isn’t going to hold true in the long run. If you can leave your primer to sit for at least a month before rubbing for paint you shouldn’t have any issues.
I have a cheap Aurita 48$ 2.0 spray gun using quick fitting adapter for throw away pots. And it loves throwing out restofinish or epotec. You do not need to spend big on a new gun ey.
I’m thinking I will use it on the firewall and I have already put some on the inner guards. I will probably just use wet on wet primer inside the jambs ect
@@TheRestoShed I have been a panel beater for 20 years but this resto work is so much different. I'm restoring an LJ Torana ATM and have had to learn a whole new process, your videos have helped heaps. Keep up the good work man. Can't wait to see some colour on this one 👍👌
The absolute least amount of primer and base humanly imaginable is all that one can use when tackling the world famous reverse curve. It's only ever the top coat that is thick. The prime and base are only ever feathered.

Very true, thanks for watching mate.
Good work mate , your vids give me enthusiasm, and the paper templets i will make for my HQ , good ideas. Thanks

It’s nice watching someone else do it . Check the front door with a straight edge .. 👍
I don't know anything about paint and bodywork, but I enjoy watching the videos. Cheers mate
Thank you for watching.

That’s very true in most cases.
Great video as usual. That resto finish primer looks like great stuff
Thanks for watching.
I after look into that RestoFinish Polyprimer , nice work .
Thanks for watching.
Nice 👌 . Those guard scallop guide thingy's , it may help lining them up if you mark out the door and nose cone gaps on them 👍
I do have a few guide marks on the template but they really only do fit in one spot.

Lookin good bud
Thanks for watching.
Great video . Are these your cars or someone else’s cars ?
HQ bodies are a prick of a thing, so many curves. Doin well there, looks ok to me in the video.
Thanks for watching
I love you too xoxo

@@TheRestoShed thanks mate 👍👍
Good work mate ,do you rate that polyester spray?
Yes mate I haven’t had any issues with the product.
I have a cheap Aurita 48$ 2.0 spray gun using quick fitting adapter for throw away pots. And it loves throwing out restofinish or epotec. You do not need to spend big on a new gun ey.
If I get 5+ years out of a $250 gun I still consider it a cheap spray gun.
You don't use resto finish on the inside?
I’m thinking I will use it on the firewall and I have already put some on the inner guards. I will probably just use wet on wet primer inside the jambs ect
