Now using this on my 1959 Apache, 3100. Thanks SO much for doing a walk through. I’m a visual and tactile learner. So to see it, and someone physical do it, just imprinted in to my tiny brain! Thanks for the information and tutorial! Great job!!!
I watched the Eastwood video. Great tutorial but not even close to real world conditions for most of us. Thank you for showing us how it actually works out. Looks great. I am sold.
I have a 1977 Jeep CJ that I’m trying to restore without breaking the bank. I’ve watched hours of videos in how to paint vehicles, and none are as helpful or as informative as yours. Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge!
I've sprayed professionally but never at home. I've been wracking my brain on how to adapt to not having all of the toys, tools and optimal conditions. These videos are fantastic and I appreciate the detail on how to overcome issues that DIY'ers will encounter.
Thanks for the video's man! This gave me a great idea of how I want to prep and prime my 79 transam. I've learned more watching your videos all day then I learned watching weeks of other videos👍
Extremely happy to see all these videos man, they’re really steering me in the right direction. I feel like I have a good idea now on how to start working on the body of my 04 Ford Ranger Edge. Super excited!
I have rolled on single stage urethane once. After a cut and buff, it came out flawless. The advantage to roll on is that more material is placed on panel so cutting and buffing is definitely an option for a smooth finish.
Yea, its possible to get a decent mil on via rolling. But far rather spray it. Buutt, you know as well as i, there are probably quite a few people out their who are intimidated by spraying and the prep, or dont have compressors or guns. Most dont realize just how simple it can be with a relatively short time of practice. People dont know what they dont know. Its odd to me but happens in every line of trades
Thanks Brian! Another great, informative video. I am slowly working on my daily driver, a 2005 xB with a fist size dent and other minor dents and scratches. Your videos are very helpful. Thanks!!!
Thanks so much for doing this demo, I hope that it will become available in Australia. The major advantage I liked was no overspray. Being able to do it in a small garage without having to fully mask off the whole car and all your tools around it is a major plus to me.
@@lindz151074 their primer is terrible in my experience. I've reluctantly bought some on a few occasions when there was no other options and it performed poorly each time
Hiya Great video nice work thanks for sharing, I'm gonna go back to your first videos and slowly work my way through them back to this one. learn as much as I can it is been quite a while since I've primed & painted my car back in the 90s lol this will help me with my two projects a custom truck & a Coupe both are 37 Chevy's.
Thanks for this video. I appreciate the product reviews, especially when from someone other than the manufacturer. Your videos are giving me the encouragement to do my own car. I am currently fixing some rusted floors and other stuff. Hope to get to paint soon.
I like how you used a extension and a hammer instead of fancy dent repair equipment, those are common tools that cost nomore then $10 and everyone in the comments should have laying around the house, good alternative I’ll be using that same method very soon!!!
This is fantastic. In a shop setting a paint gun is going to be the way, but for the home hobbyist, this is going to be a new level. 2K products that don't require a gun and compressor is going to be a game changer.
No way....talk about too much work....too much time....and way too complicated. Too many steps...too many products...short pot life...crazy long cure times. And likely too expensive. Get some 2k spray bombs and call it a day.
@@bobwatfprd2328 Everyone is entitled to their opinion but let me say this as someone who works autobody and is restoring cars. This require the same, possibly less steps then normal primer. You still have to mix regular primer and you still have to wait between coats, and with regular primer you'd be bagging the whole car so it wouldn't get covered. A spray on epoxy is still going to require multiple days before sanding, and you'd still want to put urethane on top of it. Then, you'd still want to block the urethane and possibly put more coats on. What I see in this product is something for someone who doesn't have a 30+ gallon compressor or a spray gun. Yes you can get a Harbor Freight gun, but then you need to account for lacquer thinner gallons and cleaning brushes and such. This is aimed at someone who doesn't have a garage to spray paint in or the skill/ ability to mask an entire car and spray down primer, but that's just my opinion.
Been spending days watching your awesome paint tutorials. Trying to learn as much as possible. Your videos are inspirational and helpful. I've concluded that DIY is more costly and time consuming than having MAACO paint my beater MR2. Now MAACO is not gonna get my car perfect, but it'll save me time and money over DIY. However, I can appreciate the satisfaction and accomplishment from a DIY paint project - but it's just too costly and as a noob I know I will make many mistakes along the way.
Tell me about it, I repainted my motorcycle tank six times over the last 2 years. I'll have a just about perfect, and then screw one little thing up and end up trying to fix it only to make it worse and having to start again. Seriously, for the money I wasted on supplies, I could have hired Banksy to paint my tank with endangered Pandas blood.
Been doing the finish on boats with rollers on boats for years with unbelievable results.. They run masking tape around the roller and remove it to get the fuze off
We used at are pro shop for small repair years ago the problem was by the time you sand of the rough surface and sharp edge you go right though it don't waste your time !
Most bodyshops I know won't touch the car if I've done any work on it. I had one with a satirical sign noting differences in pricing: 1. We do all the work $X; 2. You do some of the work $X + $1000.00.
Great video 🔥🔥 I was about to ask about the odor of the Epoxy but you answered that lol... My project is a 78 Monte Carlo and I'm trying to do all the bodywork and paint it myself in my home garage 💪 your videos are very helpful.... thank you 🙏
You can roll acrylic enamel (industrial scratch-proof paint). Thin it out with mineral spirits, don't even need clear coat. It's a strong, decent finish. Like glass. Wet sand for best results.
@@juansolo1617 any videos on this? what brand paint? if i could match paint to door jams it would be a great option other than base clear i would think... thanks
@@roadstar499 Yeah, most shadetree guys call this the "50 dollar paint job" or the "rustoleum 50 dollar paint job." It's not rattle can paint. It's just rustoleum acrylic enamel, comes in a paint can. I've tried it on a bug and a civic with excellent results. Painted outside, had to wet sand a lot to remove bugs and dirt but the finish was very strong, probably a lot heavier than regular paint (so not good for race vehicles)
great job! could you maybe make a video on how to remove rust and prevent it from coming back? I'm going to respray my car for the first time this winter in my home garage and your videos have given me the confidence i need!
Try a spring-loaded punch for high spots. CHEAP at places like Harbor Freight, and it’s Just the right amount of (force) for most high spots. The added benefit is it ‘punches’ a SMALL area, so it can be used on highs of various size. Ymmv ... Love the Channel !
I saw this product earlier, good to have an independent endorsement. Projects, '72 MGB, '82 Mustang coupe, '86 Mustang convertible, and a '96 Nissan PU.
Thanks Brian..... Looks like it's pretty straight forward if you follow directions,, I want a nice driver paint job, black on my 73 Camaro,, I want to do as much , if all the work myself,, do you recommend that I do my Camaro this way....
Great video and seems like a good product. You never mentioned what the temperature was when you layer it on or what temperature the manufacturer suggests.
I remember one guy at work painted a semi trailer with a roller. It was not made for enamel paint. Needless to say the trailer was Hairy when he was done.😂
Enjoying learning from your channel and experience. Researching, as the rockers on my F 150 are crumbing and I want to attempt the replacement. As epoxys cure, not dry, and the cure rates are heat sensitive, I suggest heating the epoxy with infrared lamps to accelerate the cure. This. and autoclaving are standard composites construction practice in the boat and aerospace industry. Perhaps as simple as applying the epoxy or fillers and go park it in the sun. What would Eastwood say?
seems like a good option if you lack spray equipment and you have someone willing to shoot over your body work. Save on tons of "prep guy" labor cost. But if you have spray equipment it would be outright nuts to use this roller process. Talk about extra sanding!
Ever do anything on say a motorcycle tank. I'm really riding the struggle bus with decals. They need to be cleared over and I'm just not sure I could tackle it!
hello there, I'm working on a 1970 Monte Carlo, sanded down to the metal. I'm using this roll on system and noticed that a few panels after 4 days of drying have a more glossy finish then the rest of the car. Any thoughts of why that happened? thank you for your time. I really enjoy your videos by the way.
Geez..that's a lot of work. When I do a rehab on my Sonoma Xtreme, I'll install a used tailgate, fenders and hood from my local junk yard and leave the prep and painting to the pros.
I purchased this kit to try on my girlfriends 1971 corvette. Since the car is fiberglass, should i go over the epoxy primer with polyeurothene primer before using the eurothene primer?
Working on the bed of my 64 long bed c10, going to have the whole thing professionally sand/media blasted (whatever the tech thinks is best) because it is such a large surface with a couple layers of paint. After that I think I’m going to try this roller method unless you would recommend spraying.
@PaintSociety I laid down a coat of optiflow urethane and didn't realize that i had to lay the second coat in under 4 hours. How flat does the mechanical bond need to be to lay down more urethane. can i just scuff it with a red 3m pad or do i need to block most of the surface flat with sandpaper. I was hoping to finish before going back to school. So upset that i messed up and didn't lay down another two coats in the correct time frame.
Now using this on my 1959 Apache, 3100. Thanks SO much for doing a walk through. I’m a visual and tactile learner. So to see it, and someone physical do it, just imprinted in to my tiny brain! Thanks for the information and tutorial! Great job!!!
Rumor has it he’s still sanding 👀
D was
😂😂😂😂
And singing, "III'm still sanding, better than I ever did...." 🕺
When he pulled out the claw hammer and started doing bodywork I had to subscribe

Great Job. I love to watch your videos and try and make my channel fun for everyone to watch and learn. Thanks again CW
Nice vid - As a newbie who cannot spray in my area, I appreciate the following of instructions to prove it out.
Another fantastic video! I'm an Eastwood customer and saw this roll on system. Thanks for all the valuable tips!
I am excited for this series. Really interested to see how the paint job comes out. I learn something new every time I watch.
Extremely happy to see all these videos man, they’re really steering me in the right direction.
I feel like I have a good idea now on how to start working on the body of my 04 Ford Ranger Edge.
Super excited!
Thank god I own a paint booth. That’s the best backwoods hillbilly primer I’ve ever seen.
Looks great can’t wait to see how it turns out
It was used in the forties I believe even heard of it in the sixties.
Always wondered what socket extension are used for. 🤪
Now, I can't un-see it. 😲
👍
Good show...
Theres quite much info load in my head 🙆
Lot'ff thanx bro.
Blessed always will you
& thm ALL behind 💚

new lmfao did this when i was a kid

rolling the way he did puts on waaay less material than a spray

Looking at my Salsa Red 06 XB. My clear coat is flaking off on the roof. Looks terrible. Need to do body work first.
Eastwood should change their promo and use this video. Excellent job!
Great video! showing and explaining how to do a professional job...this type of system is for the people that want to keep their cars for years...
Resto mod out here on the PNW coast , includes rust conversion with OSPHO and epoxy on the back side of each panel as well .
Thanks so much for doing this demo, I hope that it will become available in Australia. The major advantage I liked was no overspray. Being able to do it in a small garage without having to fully mask off the whole car and all your tools around it is a major plus to me.

Kim Keam have you since used this kit or another roll on system? Eastwoods just too expensive for me personally here in Aus
I think supercheap primer filler is gonna have to do do my quarter panel 😊
@@lindz151074 their primer is terrible in my experience. I've reluctantly bought some on a few occasions when there was no other options and it performed poorly each time
Sorry for the delayed response due to medical issues. I haven’t tried it yet but hope to mid February. I’ll text you when I have done it. Thanks
Great job can't wait to start on my project . Thanks alot keep up the good demons.

Incredible!!! No cloud of overspray in the backyard to annoy wife or neighbors!!!
Had an uncle that once painted his 68 Skylark using this same method lol
Thanks!! This is the system I'm going to use!!!
First time I've seen that eastwood sct in action. Not bad👍
Great lesson Brian!😃

Would love to see a video on different professional equipment(bumper stands, parts handlers, rotisseries, etc) and advice on purchase/use
Would LOVE to see a vid on tree frogs.
Good for people at home

Ouch. I can understand their prospective.
And yet I think the mindset is opposite for Maaco. Get that prep done before going to Maaco, cuz all they will do is "spray"
Great product if u have all the time in the world and no bills to pay
Good job
The roller doesn't cover everything in the garage with a layer of primer, which means it can even be used in the house, unlike a paint sprayer.
Nice job young man, you make a very good instructor. I like Eastwood products too. I'll bet you're a pro anyway.
Check the channel out - he is - he runs a major body shop at a dealership.
Wow, a ton of products and bet the $$$ ad up.

That’s awesome didn’t know they had a roll on product some diy era may prefer that !
I would if It turned out good and smooth
I’m sure I can get it smoother if i has used the foam roller only.

I have absolutely zero reason to watch this but I will anyway
why tell us?
@@johnsherman7289 because his videos are just fun to watch
I rolled on speedcote epoxy primer, bought some rollers at home depot. Much, much cheaper than the overpriced eastwood kit
Really good quality video, good helpful info. Thanks. Are there any videos on recommended compressors for the do it yourselfer? Thanks.

Use a cotton glove when feeling for high spots - for some reason, it increases sensitivity, and keeps skin oils, etc off the paint and metal.
great vid! some people roll on Rustoleum paint
As you get more experience you will be able to feel the high and low spots before you primer.
Great video and seems like a good product. You never mentioned what the temperature was when you layer it on or what temperature the manufacturer suggests.
Interesting.There are actually forums of guys who do roll on.Mostly rustoleum.

Great Vid, anyway to fix curb rash on chrome rims??
for stripping how about 80 grit on a da sander in lock mode, small scratches and fast removal
Is there a way to know or tell when you need a new roller? Also how many rollers are in the set? Thanks

Spraying is smoother but the rolling on primer can and will work.
Paint Society do you have any videos on polishing trim?
I don’t. Sorry
@PaintSociety I laid down a coat of optiflow urethane and didn't realize that i had to lay the second coat in under 4 hours. How flat does the mechanical bond need to be to lay down more urethane. can i just scuff it with a red 3m pad or do i need to block most of the surface flat with sandpaper.
I was hoping to finish before going back to school. So upset that i messed up and didn't lay down another two coats in the correct time frame.
What do you use to control and clean up the dust after sanding?
how do you feel this paint remover compares to an oscillating knock-down sander tool?
Can you do a quick vid on how to dispose of unused paint in a commercial setting?
Also if you plan to use roll epoxy, how do you sand and treat the area on my truck that has textured paint to protect against stone damage?
Can the rollers be cleaned and reused between coats? If so what do you clean them with?
Hey could you please make a video on tools you need to start working at a body shop?? their is literally no video on CZcams that shows u that. thanks!
