Guys like you are the reasons I’m such a fan of RU-vid. Because of you guys, I was able to muster up the confidence and do a pretty darn good job of repairing and painting the wife’s Honda tailgate. I appreciate you guys.
Few years ago i did my f-100 inside and out for $3700. Green ford but since the tv shows on cars was popular all of sudden all the bodyshops thought they are Michel Angelo . Their price went over 10k for basic one coat paint job . Thank you and few other folks were nice enough to show us it’s possible to do it and be proud of it.
Thank you for providing instruction and product info for those of us who don't have an unlimited budget for DIY autobody work. This is very helpful and appreciated.
The great thing about single stage, you can wet sand and buff it to make it look really good. Hell, my first paint job was a Turbo can and I painted our Del Sol black to get rid of the chalky look so the kids wouldn't make fun of my kid. Sure, I've sense fixed it and painted it properly in a down draft booth and it looks a metric fugg time better, but it was great as it was. If there's a will, there's a way. And that's the point you make in your videos. Another banger video.
I love the honesty in your videos dude. I paint as a hobby in my garage and watch a lot of your videos to learn new tricks. I'm about to paint my own Roadrunner which will be my first full car paint job. I've always done motorcycles in the past. For real man, thank you for the techniques and tricks. Keep it up!! I'm still learning lol
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 honestly man I can't tell you how much I appreciate your content. I have the confidence to paint my Roadrunner now and also the understanding that if I make mistakes, which I definitely will, I can go back and fix them. Thanks again man!!!

@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 that's the honesty in your videos. I'm sure you get comments from people saying crap about them but you're absolutely right. Mistakes make us better if we are willing to learn.

I'm Going Back 40 years ago but I remember we used to pick up this this old tricolor paint 32 bucks a gallon and we restored a 63 Volkswagen bug for a guy that was just working into Automotive graphics! Please spray painted this VW Bug as specified and I wish I had have taken pictures because it was unbelievable! Dark blue with the whole heavy flake and gold and silver it came out unbelievable . He was over the top happy !
I enjoy watching your videos I enjoy watching how cheap a guy would actually tried to do a paint job respectfully... I used to take in you spray paint on body filler as a primer and then by the bare minimum of paint and just dust the color on the blended into the old color to get it cheap enough to make a buck. I always bump into these people like oh you need to do it right I work with people like man I can't even make no money with you guys I often tell him there ignorant. Guy asked me to fix it or girl asked me to fix it as cheap as possible and if I could make you know hundred bucks for the panel with everything bought and paid for it I would do it my way. That would bring it back 3 to 5 times a year just to get you know stuff fixed or you know they bumped into something. Within you know a span of three to five years they would trade it off now if they had something nice to wear they said hey you know I don't care to spend a little more on it I'm going to keep it it's mine and it's paid for and you know what can we do.
coming out of the north,, and having run a LOT of acrylic enamel, I can tell you that WARMING the paint up a bit will help it lay down ....and sometimes really nicely....in the 70s I used one of those electric 'harvest gold' coffee warming pots....an old bodyman I knew used one, often WITHOUT reducer and at about 120 deg....amazing how thin it sprayed ....and EVERYTHING was siphon gun back then....seemed the cheaper the paint, the better it worked....great vid on doin what ya gotta do
Yea I get the concept. We do the same thing when laying down epoxy floors. Instead of reducing the paint/epoxy and risking adhesion loss or gloss loss, we heated it up out in the sun to help it roll out better. Absolutely helps
Fantastic job 👏, price wise that is a bargain 😀. Airless finish, we'll done for a well used 🚚 truck... Extra wet finish is the glass finish... Customer would be stoked with that...🎉 The color suits the model truck... $45 bucks save,s a finish Customers just can't afford... Great job brother 👏...❤from New Zealand supporters.
That's an awesome 10 footer! I always wondered how Summit single stage would turn out. Now I know. Not that you would want to do this, based on your purpose for the truck, but you could always wet sand it down and buff it out and it would look even 10 times better, but like you said, good enough for it's intended purpose.
I painted my car with summit single stage red, layed down okay from a cheap gun and small compressor. sand and buff FTW and still had a half a gallon left over
OK... I'm going to say it, the fact that you were able to cover over all those colors with NO SEALER and YELLOW PAINT is mind blowing. Yellow is typically so transparent is takes 4 coats to cover. MAybe an advantage of the house sprayer? Excellent work! I've seen cars and trucks out of spray booths that looks just like this truck.
I was watching one of Chip Foose's shows one time and he gave the whole car a single coat of white(paint, not primer) before painting it yellow. He said that was an old timers trick he picked up.
I wanted my truck YELLOW. PURE yellow. NO HINT of orange. NO HINT of green. JUST YELLOW. Shop laid on two coats and called me, "Hey, we can still see the other through this... you OK if we dope it with some Titanium White for extra opacity?" I said, "No problem." It came out GORGEOUS! PORSCHE RACING YELLOW on a '72 F-250 with Satin Black accents and black interior.
Great video. Some of these old vehicles just aren't worth multi-thousand dollar paint jobs, even if they are perfectly serviceable. This is a great way to get it looking good without breaking the bank.
That's all we do in this page lol . Glad you found us ! For any future orders go into www.speedokote.com Place order and select me as sales rep if you can 😊😊 helps the channel out
For a Truck you are going to use like it was built to be used,it looks awesome in my book!! I would definitely paint one of my beater cars with a Vevor turbine, looks great 👍
This thing would be great for a farm or lawn tractor, undercarriage, metal shed, dirt race car, mud truck and probably a bunch of other uses.. Thank you for showcasing this! Giving my 12 year old all of the pro stuff to paint his bicycle, tractor and dirt bike projects would be nuts.. this thing though, would be a No Brainer.
I love speedokote clear and their reducers. Also you're the first person I've ever see use a that gun. 😂But looks awesome man. I definitely give you credit for using that gun. Paints fuckin expensive these days, even the cheap shit is expensive. I miss the days getting a gallon of black base for 50 bucks lol. That's the kind of job I'd do on my own car because there's never enough time to do your own shit the right way. You got a new sub! @speedokoterefinishnetwork4937
@@muddytracker404 oh yea let's not forget the good ol trumper days when single stage kits were 75 bucks LOL But hey AT LEAST ORANGE MAN IS OUT, LESS RACIST PAINT JOBS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I miss them days lol. I used to paint my buddies beaters for 100 and a case of beer. You can't even mask up a car for that much now 😂. I almost cry when I go buy tape haha
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 also everything is racist now. Whites racist and we don't even get a white Monday lmao. People are just to butt hurt anymore
Looks good. Good enough for me. Back in the 50's my dad bought this little metal cap thing that you screwed onto a canning jar. You filled it with paint and connected to the exhaust of a vacuum cleaner. Same idea but I bet he didn't spend a $1 on it.. He painted his '51 Ford Victoria with it and it did a nice job. I had it until recently but I bet I've lost it now in the moves. Thanks! I need to paint my old truck. Might try the same thing.
I work for people that would actually get mad and say man I'm charging that guy like 800 bucks to paint that car and you did it in 4 hours taped it bodywork did you know they thought it had to be washed off do everything dry in and out. You can wet sand and buff clear coat in 3 hours after putting it on there if u know how. If you've got a baking booth in a production shop you can bake it after 5 minutes of spray it. At about 120 degrees for 5 minutes. That clear coat will just be like butter hopefully you don't even have to buff it because if it's for factory it's going to have orange peel when you spray it that baking Booth will just flatten it out. If they don't have reproduction gun the orange-peel will not match. Used to have the paint lady come in every morning and scream I need money who left the paint booth on that's $200 an hour just to run the fan. They nickel dime those jobs to death she needed $35,000 a week just to pay the electric bill. We had a shop that we were painting 300 cars a month people got mad because we were buying all the materials I had to start buying 55 gal worth of clear coat at a time
I meet people all the time that think everything is got to be slick factory is orange peel. There's orange peel in new paint jobs because it is actual protection for the paint. I meet number guys that say oh you could save so much money on doing it this way but don't know how to paint and their work is not what it should be. I've met people that think they're on that level. They can't buff or they can't do body work or you know all they do is spray you get into a dealership you know how it works that's not my job. All I'm saying is people pick everything to death don't let it bother you man I really appreciate these videos you do a great job and they're good videos. I love it paint and body work is a hobby of mine I used to be on a level but you know I just can't do it no more for people but I enjoy watching you know what is out there for the cheap
Have you ever looked at the Orange Peel on a Lamborghini. I painted a Honda van once and a guy had seen that painted a Lamborghini oh man he got like super pissed I like dude just gun it cost like almost five grand just to rebuild it you can only get like 10 maybe 20 paint jobs out of it before you got to rebuild it. I told the guy that I would paint his car for one of those guns. He found one that was used he can afford the brand new. That guy with the Honda van wouldn't stop until I painted his van over after I already painted it. You know I did one of those overnight $500 paint jobs he bought everything. I just took a DA slickedit out put some primer on it. Put some sealer on it and shot it. He wouldn't stop to painted that band and I made him buy rebuild kit for it I said that's worth more than your van if you'll do that plus you buy the stuff I'll do it he actually called up the money for the rebuild kit I couldn't believe it but it pissed a lot of people off man the purest of Lamborghini said I would have never even touched that van with one of those guns I said well boys I got my gun fixed.
You met the objectives,it's one color,it's a decect job for a shop truck,on budget and you got to try something out for everyone to watch and form an opinion on. If someone has a beater/daily driver,on a budget and they want to do it themselves,it could be the perfect set up. If they hate doing body and paint after the job is done,they could sell the stuff and be out almost nothing. I saw almost no overspray which could be a big plus for some folks. It was sometimes hard to tell how wide your spray pattern was,10" or a foot? Couldn't tell how much the cup held. Great video! I always freak out seeing runs and sags,doesn't bother you at all. Again,great video.
Had a neighbor several years ago who painted his truck with a Wagoner power painter, and the irony is that it was a Ford pickup like yours and pretty close to the same color. It actually turned out pretty darn good especially after buffing it.
Earl Scheibe would be proud! I'm glad you're showing many a viable alternative for people that cannot justify a $10k paint job on a beater with a heater.
Greetings from the UK looks like an amazing job to me does what it says on the tin 😀 having worked in the accident repair trade we would never include what the armchair sprayers think you can 😂😂 great work buddy ❤
Brought me back to the days when I used to paint school busses with yellow Dupont Centari out of a suction feed gun. I could almost smell it watching the video.
It looks fantastic! I used to do this before I got into the auto body business I was lucky enough to have a $50 car that my parents bought for me to learn on and I did basically the same thing I use what we call in here in Canada tremclad rust paint which is Rust-Oleum in the US! You know what for something that you're going to use and abuse and not worried about it getting scratched it's an excellent paint job!
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 Practice and experience make all the difference. You do a lot more painting than I do. MY stuff sometimes turns into 100 feet/100 mph jobs.😃 I did my '72 f100 and followed the directions for thinning Rust-oleum with acetone. At 80 degrees outside temp, it flashed off so fast that it looked more like truck bed liner than paint. I'm going back to medium enamel reducer.! Live and learn, right?
I use to use a cheap electric sprayer on cars outside in the summer months and they turned out decent enough to wet sand the orange peel although after several times I didn't have as much peel and I just rolled with what it was..After adding old school rim's and fat tires on the rear it made a huge difference. I went from an old 200 dollar vehicle to a 800 or 1000 dollar car in the 80s cause that was alot of money for a 60s and early 70s car..I just always used Rustolium paint and it seemed to turn out good enough to where people had to have the car's lol..I even went as far as to order stripe kits for some of em cause it didn't cost much money in the 70s and 80s..I kinda wish I'da kept several of the cars but nowhere to store em..I always had a job but I did so much better with the car's cause only 2 or 3 days work and within another couple days they were sold.. I just kept flipping every dollar until I could get vehicle's that didn't need paint jobs..Minor repairs was all they needed to resale em for a profit..
What made you take the leap into that business? I’ve been wanting to but have been nervous because where am I supposed to keep the vehicle as I wait for it to sale?
The paint job actually looks pretty nice. A bit of sanding and polishing the paint can look amazing. I paint as a hobby (mostly with spray cans.) and when I get orange peel I just sand it carefully and keep going :) Also I would love to see single stage Black paint with that gun to see the results also might get that VEVOR Paint Sprayer to test it out xD
Nice man. My 79F150 is mulitcolored, since a wreck. But... daily and good to go. Hope I'll be able to get her painted one day. Not even looking for something "nice". Scratching around the owyhee desert.
Looks good for all reasons you said- Hats off t Velvor Ihave several of their products on the farm - They always give Great reasonable price to higher options & get the job done- Would like to see this single stage paint through an old school siphon gun that we use to use way back in the day- What would be a good etch primer nowadays for a good price on a farm truck like this- I have 3 trucks that need same medicine -
That is a cheap durable paint job car lot quality... I wouldn't beat nobody up over that for just a cheap build it's done... I appreciate your videos and in educating folks that nothing is perfect nothing lasts forever and everybody has a budget... Just an old cheap truck keeps it from rotten. Just like you say you could go back slick it off that paint is an added layer of body work for a guy that's saying that you know he could do better it's a base... Lots of people don't understand that feller needs to be on top of something because it's actually a vinegar that will actually lifts and it rots the metal out. The old expression for some guys would be saying good enough for the girls I date. Nice cheap paint job for the money.
Just got a 1991 s10 with 57,000 original miles. It has no rot but lots of surface rust. This is the perfect paint job for a truck like it. Starting the sanding process now. Gonna spray it with rustoleum safety blue using a harbor freight hvlp gun.
Dont waste your time .. that rustoleum will fade in only 1 year out in the sun without UV protection. Get a actual automotive paint for only the extra 50-70 bucks man
Looks good enough. I've sprayed vehicles with an airless using a 3.10 double orifice, reversible tip, coming out flawless. It's all in tip size and cutting your paint just right. Good job on the first try.
I've also used a cheap HF one to spray a whole car base/clear. It's a pain, get super slow reducer. The air coming out of the sprayer is very hot. I got a lot of peel. Is what it is
Love the color. Honestly IMO orange peel on older trucks looks “right.” That’s how they came from factory, it makes them look utilitarian and orange peel hides swirl marks better than anything else I can find.
I'm pretty sure you know this but to get on point with factory paint jobs and you do a warranty recall you've got the match the factory orange peels. Some people understand it a lot of folks don't you can actually tune the clear coat faded to the other clear a lot of people don't know about that either. A production style clear coat gun lays orange peel that will match orange. They're crazy expensive
Hey a few days or hours of wet sanding that would come out pretty good! But the same can be said if you paint with a roller or a brush. Id love to see a vid of you reading comments and answering! I read the dumb comments in the same voice! haha Have a great weekend!
Yepp, thats the one Im been waiting for.... question comming to you Marco....can you estamate how much more paint you think it took to paint your truck, with it? Good job done, and now the truck shines....😉😆😁
Hell we had a truck we used for hauling scrap metal it was mix of many different parts colors we painted it rust oleum with a roller/brush turned out great thru some white pin stripes looked good pulling in any work site
I painted my 83 Ford Ranger back in mid 90's with an electric (cord) Wagner spray gun in my driveway for like 100 bucks. I rough sanded original paint , went and asked for cheapest automotive paint at the time and it was ford engine block blue , and a can of reducer and some filters . I thought it turned out pretty good for a first timer .
Excellent job!!! This was so interesting to me. Sometimes “good enough” is the right avenue to take. No slam from me! Potato chips and toilet paper were never cost-of-the-job items.
As you said its not supposed to be a show truck. Looks really good. I would have taken the bed off to get the back of the cab and front of the bed..but for a work truck it's a great job
I used a DeWalt one to try to do a bed liner with (as the beeline company said it was usable with the low pressure). Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out too well and I had to switch back to doing air at 90psi and a gravity feed hopper gun setup.
I used a Harbor Freight large pot sprayer with the dual lines to the gun and sprayed super tight areas on a Ford Backhoe over sealer twenty years ago and it has held up for twenty years. Maybe a hundred dollars gun today. You can paint under over around and through because it has a six foot hose from the pot
I'm looking these up as a budget way to do a new colour on a project car I'm looking at buying. For the cost to buy it looks pretty forgiving and easy for a noob to use. A wet send and buff or a 2k clear on top could improve the finish even more. Air compressor and spray equipment isn't cheap in Aus so if this does a good enough job that putting in the work with a wet sand can make up the difference for more expensive equipment then its a win for me. I've also come across refillable and rechargable spray cans, would be slow going but considering theres fan tips with better atomisation that could be a vid idea to look into
new guy here and so glad I checked your video on the 45 dollar Vevo turbine sprayer ... as a novice I'd say after paint has cured then buff her out and that orange peel finish should dissipate
So I need to make my truck one color and would entertain the thought of single stage paint, later down the road when I can do a full restore would it be hard to do a base coat clear? Like just a scuff and paint or would it need stripped off?
I got a couple projects that im going to use the same sprayer for now. I just got the turbin sprayer in like u used. Can u go over some of the settings that u used on the sprayer
I've painted perhaps 25 cars or so in my life, strictly as a do it yourself guy. Got pretty good at it. I usually used professional materials. Anyway, with that, this is a very decent job considering the objective. Nice work!
It's a great paint job. I agree you feeled it in, and the next time you paint it, it will be amazing. I would look at it from 10 feet away. (I am) A professional painter with an eye for detail. Up close, I would see green and primer bleed. I would have value shaded it with a level 2, which is a white with a hint of gray, and then painted it.
I've gotten rid of orange peel and fish eye at the 1st spray by spraying rust oleam reducer over the paint 2 to 3 times then long flash and adjust sprayer and Finnish 2nd and 3rd coat
At the end of the day what can you expect from a $45 turbine sprayer Marco, the paint is on there and it's all one colour plus it's shiny plus if you wanted to you could give it a quick flat and polish🤔😂 I think you might get better results if you tried putting base and clear through it, maybe give it a try on a single panel sometime Marco just to see how it lays it compared to a single stage🙏👍John UK
A couple of thoughts and a comment. First, with the turbine would it be suggested to do a 3rd coat and then wet sand it before polishing it? Also I have to ask if you have fold out stop signs on order for it?
Just discovered your channel and subscribed, thanks for the detail on using a turbine sprayer. I'm looking to respray an old but good beater and this would be perfect. What nozzle size do you use for the paint? And how would this sprayer compare to their electric 700HVLP spray gun, in your opinion? Thanks!
