Thank you for explaining all the details and potential issues 👍 your lessons learned are now our lessons learned. Your work and time invested is much appreciated 🙂
You're staying with it Ol' buddy! You tend to get really good at buffing along the way learning to paint! I do think thats really close to Petty blue. I would increase the air pressure somewhat to atomize the paint better but you hosed plenty on there! LOL! and didnt rub through. Thats good enough,time to build some power under that hood! Hang in there, Good job!
I'm gunna run the 318 in it for a while. I daily drive these cars. Like actually drive them everywhere. But I have a 360 magnum I just traded my uncle a truck for im planning on building that for it
In the last video when you started clearing so soon I knew what was about to happen. Been there myself getting impatient lol. The biggest key to painting a car is patience. I can’t blame you at all for sanding those runs out of the quarter and sail panel. With any car that doesn’t have a break from the roof to quarter it’s hard to get a good lasting blend without having to do the roof, both quarters, and filler panel between the rear window and trunk because eventually you will see a halo where it’s been blended. Regardless it turned out sweet and I certainly would rock it every day!
Mr Some What Fast, you are exactly right, getting the feel for the material when laying it down,and with gun set up , and practice. Another great video, regards Rob.
It’s great it went a little wrong first time because the blue mixed with a little black looks real good 👌 Awesome job on putting the run patch right no one would know and you didn’t have to show us right? ❤
i Was watching the last video and thinking the whole time 555 Mica ( The original wrx blue) would look awesome on this car, the new color is pretty dam close and i think it looks amazing, great video,great work and a great result. You make it look way easier than i know it is. You mention 100 different people would have a hundred different techniques. The geography and weather plays a part in the process as well. Im watching from Australia, i couldnt imagine sanding a car inside and then trying to paint it in the same place. id just wait for summer , when i know ill have weeks without rain and work outside.
Thanks Stephen, yes I cut out hours of work from these videos. This was about 4 or 5 days in one video. I LOVE the color. Maybe thinking of adding black to it some graphics or at least paint the hood black to break up some of the blue. The blue is called Hyper blue
Keep a pair of tweezers handy for when them bugs land in your paint….i had the same problem when i painted my nova thats in the lil pic next to my name in my garage….now im working on my supercharged LS ‘73 c/10 swb fleet……..your car turned out sweeeeet by the way, one of my favorite mopars by far, reminds me of the one daisy had back on dukes of hazzard when she wasnt rollin the jeep!!!…..or it could have been a sattelite….either way i love those big cars…my mom had a ‘73 charger SE back in the day she bought for $80…..man i wish she would have kept that car!!!
I wish u would have repainted in that b5 metallic single stage, thats what l want to do to my 72 Barracuda ( First time painting) but that blue looks really slick!
That blue looks awesome. I think I like it better than the metallic and I love metallic paint jobs. The car is looking sweet, can't wait to see the videos of the finished product.
I agree with not using wax & grease remover. It leaves a residue behind. I use a few drops of Dawn dish soap in my wet-sanding bucket for all my paint prep work so I'm constantly degreasing the car. Always works for me. Research how to back-tape lower rockers &n the whole lower portion of the car & tape the paper to the floor to avoid all underbody overspray. And back-tape wheel openings, that way there's no overspray in wheel wells and under the car. It keeps dust down a great deal as well. For gun setup, reduce your fluid volume by 25%, increase air pressure to like 40psi, open the fan to at least 8-10 inches and you'll be amazed how smooth the paint will lay compared to your results. It's the little things that make the difference between an ok job and a beautiful finish.
Trust me , ive been doing cars for 50 plus years and paint booth or not paint nibs and runs still happen and all you can do is cut and buff so your doing ok
That looks really good now,kind of did you a favor that it went wrong the first time,a lot more work i know,as that is my profession,but for the conditions you have to work in it turned out well. Think you did really well getting that run out to a good standard. Look forward to the next installment.
If you go base/clear on your next paint job, it's going to be the best experience of your life! After shooting single stage, you'll be shocked at how much easier it is to go base/clear. You'll lay the base on and you won't believe how much easier it is to get totally perfect coverage without doing 3 or 4 layers. And you won't ever run the paint, because the base coat will flash super fast compared to the single stage, since there's no clear coat mixed in with it. Trust me, you'll level up your game 10X and you won't ever go back to single stage again!
The right way is from the bottom up to prevent run .try it and you will see. 45 psi for your part gun and 8 to 10 inches away from the surface. When you are spraying down the gravity of paint will run.
@@somewhatfast my buddy has a 73 charger petty tribute car. Petty himself signed it. It looks pretty legit 73 nascar, although his cage doesn’t have door bars . Kids love the thing, because they think it’s the king from cars
Petty drove Dodge Chargers in those years. 73-74 Model year. They were so much better than what came after, there was pressure to be able to use that style for extra years.
I don't use clear coat what I do is I wet sand and use machine glaze REO speed DeWalt 1000 to 3500 rpm's it's easier to wet sand runs out of paint without the clear coat those cars they never used clear coat and polish on an angle from top to down
@@somewhatfast the first time you did you don't need that with 3 coats of paint I call clear coat a lazy man's way out the only problem I have with clear coat is it peals up after a few years just like skin when you get burned in the sun
@Richard220automotive Right, but the first time I use metallic. And you can't cut and buff metallic. Like I said in the video, I chose to clear over the metallic so I can cut and buff.
Including the failed paint job. With bondo, 2 gallons of 2k primer 2 gallons of paint and a gallon of clear. Was right around $400 ish. If I didn't fudge the first job with clear coat, it would have been around $200 less
Yes, Chrysler and Ford were Acrylic Enamel. It is not uncommon to see 50 year old cars with paint that held up better than water based paint that was only ten years old.
F,Y,I,you have stages,four to be exact,30,/70, first coat,40/60 second coat,60/40, third coat 70/30 fourth coat,leaving about 15, mins,between each coat tacky pain,between paints !,30 P,s,I,on paint gun,😜👍...
The hood isn't original, I welded in all the trim holes, there isn't a vinyl top, someone installed seats out of a 1976 plymouth, wheels are off of a 1987 cheysler 5th Avenue, motor is out of a 5th Avenue, it has a column shifter and a center console shifter out of 2 different cars. Nothing about the car is or was original.
The more you try, the better you get!
Thank you for explaining all the details and potential issues 👍 your lessons learned are now our lessons learned. Your work and time invested is much appreciated 🙂
Thank you much appreciated. Thanks for watching and commenting.
every time you show the car it looks better and better. Great job!
I appreciate that!
That's what I was talking about ! It's a hundred percent better than what you started with, and it's looking good 👍
Way to get back on that horse - look great! Being able to level that big a run was eye opening!
Thanks Rick, DEFINITELY Did not want to have to repaint that quarter and blend into the roof!!

EXACTLY, being single stage I would have to repaint the whole roof and quarters. Thanks joshua
Great job, buddy! I knew it could be slick after that last sanding. Nice body work!
I'm a bad ass at body work, its been so long since I've painted but I'll get it back.
Turned out really well this time. Hope to see you some other video soon.
Mr Some What Fast, you are exactly right, getting the feel for the material when laying it down,and with gun set up , and practice. Another great video, regards Rob.
Thank you robert
It's a really nice color.
Looking good Nick. That will be a nice cruiser when finished!
That color is great! Looks like a good job to me.
Dude - that thing looks killer! Nice work all the way around.
Thanks! Ready to drive the car
Great job my friend. It really looks totally different now. Loved the work. Thank you very much. Even a DYI can do it. You proved it. God Bless,
💯👍👊
👊Thank ya Mr terry
So when are we going to have the pleasure to see this beauty totally complete?
I'm going to post videos as I assemble it in my free time. In working on the front end as we speak.
New color looks much better and more period correct. Looking forward to the next update.
Planning on posting more frequently. I agree color looks way more period I'm loving it
It’s great it went a little wrong first time because the blue mixed with a little black looks real good 👌
Awesome job on putting the run patch right no one would know and you didn’t have to show us right? ❤
Exactly! Thanks for watching

Looks amazing. Great job.
I wish u would have repainted in that b5 metallic single stage, thats what l want to do to my 72 Barracuda ( First time painting) but that blue looks really slick!
Other color was called electric blue. It was a factory BMW color if you need to use the code to paint your car. It is very close to b5
@@somewhatfast I'll take the code
Looking good 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice job, it looks great!!!

Working on it now mr lee
Looks great !!!!!
Not too shabby if you stand back!
Very nice 👍
Thank you randy
That came out great, I’d be happy eith that paint job on my car
Gunna be a really nice driver car for sure. Thank you
Looks good bro!
Thank you!
Drinking a beer and the first thing I see is "does driving a dodge make you look gay". Beer is all over the floor now. Im dead right now 😂😂
Hang in there brother I worked at a body shop 5 years and trust me we have had the same shit happen. I hate frickin metal flake and pearl paint !
Thanks ron
I like the new color better.
Definitely looks more period correct. Thanks paul

I painted my Tacoma last year with single stage silver ! NEVER AGAIN
Good job. Looks great
Thank you!
Dude she looks good slap some stickers and stripes on and call it a day, I woulda drove it around primer for a year ngl 🤣
That's usually what I do rattle can or primer/ patina. Thinking about painting some black on it to break up all the blue.

Less is more. The more control you get on the flow, the less you have to fix runs.
I tried to paint my front wing with a spray can. Disaster on a breezy day.
Oh man i hope it's all fixable
You can do pretty good with a rattle can, but if you're outside...no wind.
Yup thats true. I painted my 55 plymouth wagon with rattle cans, and rattle can clear coat.
It was just the front wing. Years ago with my first car. You learn by your mistakes. Got it right in the end,
it is so cool ;)
Thank you sarah!
It's called metallic movement

So, you used urethane over the enamel?
Correct
That era car was enamel from the factory I think.
Would have been a metallic single stage laquer. I used a urethane, which gives it a similar look, but last MUCH longer.

Dang like I said on the video everyone has their way of painting.
Data sheet says 5-10 minutes 8-10 psi and "2 coats or until hiding" 🤣
Maybe if you bought a little better spray gun
Nah, It's always the painter not the gun. Ive done some good paint jobs with a $15 harbor freight gun.

I don’t understand why you didn’t use an original Plymouth color. I would want the car to look as original as possible. Maybe it’s just me?
