[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@icuranis4597]

I had not wanted to offend you on my last comment. I had to respray my wife's car because I didn't have adequate lighting when painting the bottom. I admire your work ethic and attitude for your cars. I enjoy your videos.

Not sure why I didn't get the notification when you posted this, but I have been waiting for this final painting.👍

[@shangrila66]

I totaly agree with you . I also prefer cleanly painted cars instead of rubbish bins with rusty surfaces. Very good video and very nice work.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks 👍

[@ferrochinabisleri1587]

Nice job! this Elcamino body style reminds me of some US cars of the '60, with the trunk longer than the hood.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@floydrobinsonjr9614]

Nice work as always

[@kennethsonier1766]

Good morning from Cape Cod 🦈 the El Camino looks great in white. It's good how you explain exactly what paints and steps you're taking before hand. I can't wait to see it outside with the stripes and emblems. Keep up the awesome work and the excellent content 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks 👍

[@chriscurry236]

Lee,it looks awesome man!! Love the channel! Love the no nonsense way you work on a budget 👍. And you turn out some great paint jobs in your home garage, Thanks for taking us on the journey.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@michaelbristol6467]

Oh yeah she's sitting pretty Lee! Nason clear for the win. That's all I use. Some guys talk crap about it but I've been using it for over 20 years now on brand new collision repairs and all and never had a problem with it. I think it's the best budget paint on the market IMO. 😉✌

[@OutOfOrderGarage]

That looks real good 👍

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@jasonprice3335]

Clear coat is fine... it will not peel if applied correctly. Must be 2 mills preferably thicker plus proper prep work done

[@jasonprice3335]

I don't think it matters really! You gotta be agreeable and complimentary of everything to get a like or comment

[@richardenright3170]

You deserve most subscribers.People!!,Don't just watch, subscribe!! It's free and you can help Lee finance his skills. 😊😊

[@GregB2401]

Lee. Painting the car is your taste. And you are keeping everything. So your taste is not everyone's taste that does not make it wrong. I don't like during new cars I like. 80's and maybe 90's cars for my everyday driver. That is my taste don't make it wrong, so ease up on the other people online. Don't get it wrong I enjoy your videos. Long time.

[@mauricedubeau3247]

Great work !!! Looks awesome ,,,,,

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@Daryl-S]

Man it looks great!

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@williamdavis4511]

That's crazy I can hear the paint spray gun over the sound of the compressor..✌️😆

[@VATION3RD]

I bought a gallon of Nason single stage gold metallic from House of Kolor and it was almost $600 with everything....

[@clunkersandclassics]

Ouch!

[@gregt722]

Absolutely love your content. I just finished watching the Aspen R/T episodes. Love how affordable you make these builds! Now I want an El Camino and an Aspen! 😆
You say you’re from Canada? Where’d you grow up and what brought you south?

[@clunkersandclassics]

London Ontario. Too high taxes and no jobs brought me to Texas a long time ago. Haven't looked back since!

[@williamjones9099]

Looks great

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@patcarbone1753]

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@glenbo2464]

WOW , Looking good !!! Looking forward to seeing it complete ! How many cars do you currently have at your place ? lol

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks. About 20 to 25 that are my personal vehicles. Rest are being parted out, about 50 or so.

[@bowtiebum82]

Great job ..it would be cool if you do a little part on how you mix that thick paint

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thin it with reducer

[@philhiggins5482]

BEA utiful!

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@83K5Blazer]

Nice job 👍

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@pwthomas757]

👍👍👍

[@theawakening5548]

For the SS I noticed that difference was the mixing ratio, I could be wrong though. One was 4:1 and the other was 8:1. There was a difference between the price too, the 8:1 was cheaper. It was from a local paint supplier. I agree with you on the people that are doing these cars showing them off in the worst condition. I am not a fan of them, but to each their own.

[@richwalter3132]

Good morning Lee, Paint job looks great , I thought you said you were going to paint the bed sides white did you change your mind, Also the hood looks good fiber glassing the scoop in better than the rivets, Have a good day God Bless.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Not enough paint to do the bed so it just gets bedliner.

[@richwalter3132]

Cool that will look good.

[@scotttravels517]

Roll compressed outside I vote cat throw up or built box around compressor with foam insulation around

[@jamespn]

Didn’t notice, do you have a water separator filter on the air compressor?

[@clunkersandclassics]

No. I have one on the gun.

[@brianmason2992]

❤ sweet ❤

[@Cary2345]

So you told me you use a 20 gallon compressor? Any tips on equipment or techniques would be super appreciated. I’m novice and want to paint my 85 Chevy with a 21 Gallon Harbor freight compressor

[@adamduchesne]

Looks like rough orange peel on the side of that truck . That's why the white paint looks dull. I can see how rough it is in the reflection .watch 15:09 minutes into it.and check out inside the glare under the passenger mirror .from the mirror . And tell me that's not rough orange peel .

[@clunkersandclassics]

That's just normal texture from painting. I don't buff out my paint jobs.

[@terryeustice5399]

Lee have you ever used Imron aircraft paint? And is the bed liner like a Rhino liner.spray on.

[@clunkersandclassics]

I've used Imron car paint back in the day. Bedliner is Rustoleum from Walmart.

[@zcam1969]

man i ain't quick enough to go over the whole before the paint starts to dry . have you ever painted a car one panel at a time or half one and half a few days later

[@clunkersandclassics]

use slower reducer if drying too fast

[@bigtim94122]

Not a fan of the patina look, some people like to show the life of the car but a nice paint job just sets a older car apart from the rolling junk out there

[@maj.FrankMBurns]

Nason paint is bottom of the barrel. Made by dupont. If you don't beleave me check ot put your self. Dupont states that's its low end paint

[@clunkersandclassics]

The synthetic may be but the 2k urethane is top notch. It can stay in the burning sun for 10 years and still look great.

[@johnivill1974]

What part of the country are you in?

[@clunkersandclassics]

Texas/Oklahoma border

[@keithharden7844]

Cat piss in the cars is bad. I replaced THE WHOLE INTERIOR BECAUSE OFIT

[@randymacsgarage]

yeah if its piss its trash now
