Getting these rebuild projects painted at a body shop is becoming very expensive. Should I just start painting my own projects?

You forgot to add this to the playlist for the corvette.
Lot of car guys here can some one tell me what they think the noise is in this 2017 Corvette Grand Sport engine, check the noise at 10:20–10:40 of the video https://youtu.be/MotOC-7LkkE. I don't believe what the service center says it is.
Shopline is the economy ppg paint line. You should have used a flex additive for a rubber bumper otherwise you did it right.
What size of air compressor did you use and what was the cfm?
What kind of air compressor do you used?
Sounds cheap..white is anyway. I think it just be ezer to get a gravity feed gun.
I think that pyro-fuse piece looks like it's from a newer model Audi?
Hit up goonzquad
My 3 year old would like more chickens in your videos.
You forgot the flex additive for the primer and paint. WO that if that bumper gets flexed at all the paint will crack and peal off.
00:40 nice cock
OMG I LOVE YOUR CHICKENS😂😂😂😂
0:30 CHICKEN GANG
Get some vinyl overlays with the red circle and the line through it to put on the Pizza car logos. They cant claim infringement with an obvious NOT there! Maybe as simple as some "Not affiliated with Dominos" disclaimers on the windows?
Love the vids Sam, and at least use some adhesion promoter on the bumper where you sand through. Paint is EASY.
Should you paint it on your own, depends on good you want it, and more importantly how long you want it to last. Paints booths serve many different purposes. First and most obvious is they give you somewhere you can paint, and not worry about over spraying, and paining something you did not want, like a wall, or anther car. Second they provide extremely clean air, by using incredibly good filters, and fans to circulate the air, this avoids any dust, and debris from ending up in/on the paint. But lastly, and most importantly, they control humidity. It does not matter if you are the best painter in the world, or if you set up a clean room, where you protect from over spray, and for the most part dust, with out controlling humidity, you will have issues with the paint. Here is what sucks about it most thou, when your painting, you will not be able to tell. If you do a good job painting, and you manage to keep all the dust, and debris out of it, you will not be able to tell. It will look perfect. Until you mount it to the car, you will able to see a slight difference in paint, because the humidity changed the way the paint attached to the bumper, and thus changed the hue ever so slightly. It might be incredibly noticeable, or it might be noticeable at all. But the worst part is, with in a couple years, or possible even months, depending on paint quality, and the amount of moister that was in the air, the paint will start to chip and peel. The moister will do two things, first it will never really allow the paint to harden, which means damage from the sun will occur much faster. Second, if there is large amount of moister in the air, it could actually get caught under the paint. Meaning 2 things, the paint will never adhere right, causing it to peel, and in worst case instances, could actually freeze and shatter the paint from underneath, causing chipping. That is just my opinion, but take for what it is worth.
Are any of those barn yard friends of yours Wyandotte?
Painting is not that hard, except for the prep. The prep takes a lot of work…
Good Luck!
If you haven’t painted it yet, check out Eastwood’s free paint at home videos on YouTube. Very helpful for what you’re doing
Shop line jbp is the cheaper stuff. And $40/quart is about average. The color dictates the price. A gallon is about $120. But you wouldn’t need that much anyway.
please do NOT use a sander for it .. scotch-brite the green one .. and go to town .. by HAND .. ofc wipe it off with wax and grease remover first .. then use the green scotch-brite go over it with wax and grease remover again .. THEN plasti prime it let it flash off .. use "normal" primer .. paint it the number of times till you are happy with it . then clearcoat it 3 times i would advice .. 1 dust 2 wet coats .. let it cure voila basicly done .. unless you cut it down and polish after
Sam, in case it slipped your mind, your tag on that hatchback expired a week ago.
No flex additive?
I have seen a car painted in a carport. Had plastic on the walls, ceiling, and covering all openings. Turned out really well. Something that small, you could prolly do a really good job with in the garage with some plastic to keep out contaminants. Good luck with it.
Make sure you have the right filters on your respirator. You want one I think for hydrocarbons not just particulates.
it‘s all chickbait!!
