Car painting yourself at home - Goodbye ugly paint ! 

No one is talking about what a master piece of editing and recording this was. Hope this guy is making good money off this video you can tell he really takes pride in everything he does. Car looks great.

It's a great job compared to what the car was before. He didn't spend thousands at a garage having the paint job done. He did it himself. Lots of work involved but pretty inspiring.

Yall have to remember that after all that work Painting the car he also put together hours of footage an added narration to make this video for us, what a g

Is it perfect? No... but he did it in his driveway. I think it’s a pretty freaking good job for a driveway paint job. You work with what you have. At least he attempted to do something as opposed to leaving derogatory comments on someone else’s video for something you would never attempt. Most people will pay someone else to do something any more. It makes me sick. Do it yourself and learn something! Will it be perfect? No... but the next ones will be better and better.

If you see the reflection of the sky on the car, good enough for me, great job buddy

The paint work done outside was pretty impressive, some things that people should avoid if you want it to look extremely good is to weld pieces of metal in areas that have holes like in the rust area you have. It's better to cut it out and weld a piece of metal because using that much body filler will eventually crack the paint. Another thing is before applying the coat of primer to the whole car, it is better to sand the hole thing out first until you get it to bare metal because it will adhere better, when laying the paint on top of a surface that's not well prepared will also crack the paint in the future. Last thing, is to always remove all trim pieces, I saw that you left the black trim on the front bumper and on the doors. Taping is eh and the paint wont cover everything and since the paint under the trim isn't removed, that can cause the paint to start peeling off. Just my piece of advice for anyone who's trying this at home.

People criticize something they would never attempt themselves. Looks way better than before. It’s not like he’s practicing on a $200k Lamborghini. Good job!

just started my hood. this video is my step by step for this project. just sanded down the hood...waiting for it to get a bit warmer outside to start the actual painting...excited....thank YOU!!!!!

I came away with a greater appreciation for professional paint jobs...

A list of the products used would be nice. Thank you for your time putting this together. Looks amazing

This paint job was fuckin amazing. He shoots way better than a lot of guys that shoot in booths. Yall are killing me with the "It's perfect...considering it was done outside". Hell....It's way more perfect than a lot of other guys so beat it lol

I totally respect you by doing it all by yourself. DIY to the max. I wish I can do this by myself. If I have the patience and not to breakdown when I mess it up, I would definitely consider this. Repainting car can be super expensive and time consuming. I need to put my car for a month or more to get the paint done. Kudos to you and to us who are trying to do things by ourselves! Love the outcome!

What this gentleman did is super impressive. I could never do something like this at home. This guy is an auto body machine. Good on you, man. I'm very impressed with the results. Cheers from Toronto, Canada.

The fact that this glow up was so incredible and that it was done in a driveway is just- wow...

Good job for a garden repaint job on a 400€ car. I have seen a lot of cars being repainted for 2000€ by bad body shops having the same result.and I think you have to give this bloke the credit he deserves painting preping in his garden without any prof tools. I even think he has a little 30liter compressor by the sound of it running all the time lol

I think for doing it yourself, in your yard and with non professional tools, you did GREAT!

a lot of folks commenting who have no clue what kind of work is entailed in doing a car paint job.. talk about what you know! for a driveway paint job this is pretty great. Id have just got closer and slower with the final clear coat and carefully put down a nice wet glassy coat, HOPEFULLY avoid the final wet sand process. I mean its A £500 car to be fair. all in a great job, and an informative video

Great job! I like the video editing as well. Kept my attention. Info on point and not distracting. You should be proud of your hard work.

Good on him for trying. I agree with Scott's comments. I'm not a professional spray painter but over the years have sprayed many cars, vans, trucks, boats and even a 26ft luxury cruiser. each time the results get better and better. We all have to start somewhere and learn as we go. I'm sure his next project will be even better with less work involved. That comes with experience, something the negative commenter's here wouldn't know much about.

For following these steps I repainted my motorcycle fairing and it’s really shiny now!! 😍😍

Well, I guess I now know what my next 3 weekends consist of... Sanding Down My Entire Truck. Lol

Great job dude. For home painting, this is 10/10.

I enjoyed watching every minute of it, this is the kind of hard work that deserves to be appreciated

I’m surprised it’s still daylight by the time he finishes

Some saying he is still sanding

One must really like his car to go through all this.

Bird chirp at 817 had me lookin at my window like " wtf bird is up at 10:38pm?"

Watching that absolutely wore me out lol. I think it looks great.

Gotta say having been surrounded by autobody my entire life, the man did a great job 👏 very few differences in how my father did his work in a shop. That being said my old man started under a mango tree and made his way there 😅🤷🏽‍♂️😂👌

You can see this guy was trained by Mr. Miagi

It is now a clean, cheap daily driver that will keep the cop's away. Well done young man.

kudos for the effort. i mean for the EFFORT! I wascplanning to do our family van, but after watching this. letting the paintshop do it seems a better option. kudos to your work sir!

Don't listen to these aholes, man! Considering you did this pain job in the driveway, kudos to you dude! Not sure if it was worth all the sweat, but the finish product is better than what you started with.

I think this guy did a great job with his car.

Best thing about the video was, they didn't bypass the shortcomings. They showed it. That's a good one for a one man show 😊

I just 4 and a half mins. in and I'm already thinking, "That's a lot of work!"

I'm not planning to watch this but I just can't stop watching..

Hats off to you for the time and effort you put in to give that sad looking car a shining new look. Well done. Something sadly I would never have the patience to do myself.

Will never do this ever but this was so satisfying/interesting to watch!!!!! Thank u for sharing

Im trying to find all the rude comments everyone is talking about 😂

if anyone is thinking about painting a car or parts yourself I would definitely recommend doing it. Just watch some tutorials and not much can go wrong. I have spray painted a roof spoiler myself with the right paint code and it really wasn't hard at all. Just throw a lot of clear coat on it so you have enough to work with when wet sanding and polishing. To my surprise the paint job looked better than the oem paint in most areas.

I did this method with my 99 Dodge viper and came out pretty good, I had some serious swirl marks before , the meguiar compound cuts good , and finished with a nufinish polish

Why some people disliked I don’t know but thanks for showing what is involved in full paint job. It’s more than just aiming and spraying.

This explains why a paint job cost so much :D

Great work! Now I can give up the mind painting my own car.

I respect the effort he put in to get it to this condition. Truly inspiring. You get better with practice.

One of the most informative videos I've ever watched. Great job. Thank you.

And...the satisfaction of doing it yourself and most likely doing it better. I no longer let anyone touch my cars or home things - they all cut corners and do subpar work. The days of 'paying for convenience' are over. I''d pay if job was done right, but about 95% of the time it isn't and worse, often needs to be done over. Most cars are not show cars, if it is, pay 0k and get it done right. I don't even let others change my oil (I know exactly what to use, name brand and how to tighten bolt (shops use 10-40 Walmart generic crap for everyone with cheapest filter possible, then strip the pan bolt). Great job, Tuto.

I've been painting for nearly 3 years and ive never come across alcohol vinegar as a degreaser but hey if it works it works great stuff👌🏻

Wonderful Job😍! Pleasure to see the man's dedication and love for his car

10k FOR thumbs down? Give the man credit for the time spent(and $ of course for his non sponsored products yet recommends it still) and hands on presentation. He also wrote on the disclaimer that he did this "for convenience and educational purposes". I would rather see a raw video like this than one where it is obviously scripted, just talks about what to do and acts like it's cute, yet doesn't show how it's done. This dude does it all. I saw a lot of his videos and man, his know how in any Walking Dead type of situations would bail him out every time, no doubt, unlike some comments here generated by pea brained, Jurassic, "holier than thou" haters who does nothing but put a person down. Keep doing what you're doing by sharing your knowledge and expertise, brother. Well done!

a few tips to those getting ready to paint a car for the first time. Always follow body lines, so paint the hood front to back, not side to side. Also, for a better result.....wet sand the base coat before clear coat, it will look twice as good, and well worth the extra work. Prep work is 90% of the final look, and doing it in a drive way is not easy, lol. Kudos to this guy. Also....do NOT wax the car....let the car dry for at least a week before you wax, or the wax will seal the paint and it will not finish drying deep in the paint

Could of just used noodles to fill the holes 🤷🏽‍♂️

OUTSTANDING work. For a bloke who just painted a car in his driveway, great job!!!!

A very useful video with very informative commentary. Your car looks so much better now. I can only add that you could have used some rust killer in that hole

В этом ремонте прекрасно всё - и заделывание дыр финишной шпатлёвкой, и окраска на улице, подле белых стен, окон и зелёных кустов, и поливание водой электроинструмента, и шлифовка лака абразивом 800, и полировка эксцентриковой машиной :))) Отдельно позабавила полировка порогов :)))

The Greatest painting job on RU-vid so far

One of the best tutorials I have watched thus far..thanks for everything I’m a total beginner,did slot of research, ask experts a few questions a few experts didn’t even trust to show me some of their tools even though I’m just going to be working on my personal projects..I am grateful for that though caz it led me to do my own research which made me more confident in doing what I’m about to do..I would have like if u added description or links to purchase the tools u have ..like I say I’m a beginner and this is the first time I saw the machine u used to sand the car after clear coat .please do consider listing tools in the description or even links someone can purchase tools from..never know could be your sale...but I must say very much grateful for this tutorial..

Great job, ignore the rude comments, the before / after difference in major all done with basic tools on a driveway !!!

I love people who have such dedication when working. It's a lot a fucking work on that car. Hats off

A lot of hard work. I'd like to see the car up close. The video was very detailed.

As someone that has polished a few cars and trained all over the US.... way too much product on those pads and paste wax is super outdated. That said, the dude worked hard and I'd hire someone like that any day. Train a hard worker and you have an employee for life.

Gotta love a homestyle paint job that you can shave in the reflection with! Awesome!

Few mistakes but its a decent job. Don't wax your clear coat wait at least 6 days for it to cure. The longer you wait the better. Not bad for a cheap paint job though

Don't forget the wipe off the leftover product with a microffer

What a great work. Only the passionate people will appreciate it. Bravo buddy

Nos comentários só tem "super expertos", todos sabem muito e, no entanto estão aqui criticando o vídeo de alguém que está apenas mostrando como melhorar um carro que estava em um estado deplorável. Felicito ao rapaz pelo trabalho.

DIY work and deserves appreciation. It's also gives opportunities for new learners and professionals

Damn. Helluva good job for sitting in your driveway completely exposed to the elements and with basic tools. Very very nice. 99% of the negative posters wouldn’t even think of attempting this In a professional paint booth with the latest most expensive paint tech behind them. Haters always gonna hate.

The job of a man who knew what he was doing 👌🏻

Gosh damn, that is some high quality paint!

I get this was a DIY budget paint job done outside. Turned out great. Props for giving it a shot. As a Professional Detailer/Polishing tech. I would recommend moving the DA a little bit slower during wet sanding. Slowing down arm movement a lot more during compounding and polishing stages. Fast movements aren’t ideal for correction, as the polish and compound doesn’t have a chance to heat up and break down. I would also recommend adding one more step to wet sanding and using a 5k grit pad and possibly an 8k grit pad as it would reduce the need for as much cut and buff. Considering the circumstances it turned out great! 👍🏻

Man! The only thing I can say is awesome job bro. Wooow!!!

This guy did perfect for outdoor and the amout equipment he has

this is actually a really good job , not perfect , but actually well done

Nailed it....Great how 2 video,number 1 in my book.

Imagine taking the car apart and forgetting how to put it back

My god I feel like this would take me five months!! The dedication! Very impressive.

Hope the neighbors don’t have clothes on the line

If the rusting process that made those rust holes isn't stopped (by appropriate work behind the panels), the new paint job will be ruined by new rust holes in less than one year's time.

Extremely good job man !!! Impressive and inspiring.

Other channel: u need well closed ventilated room and nice lighting. Me: yeah im done learning This channel: hold my thinner Thank u for the video ❤️

Great work regardless of what anyone says!

It's a Renault, so just hit it with 60 grit sandpaper for an hour and you'll be good to go.

Wow! I’m exhausted-great job and you did it in your driveway!?!

Must say it's the best paint from scratch video I've seen, great job💯

Every hoodie scene I was waiting on him to turn to the camera and say FHRITP...

26:05 love the double action polishing 😂

That 220V European voltage mixed with water sure looks like a trip to the hospital...if you're lucky.That's bravery right there.

Great video, good paintjob for what conditions it is. Only thing is that rust issues should have been also sanded in the back panal and use a type of rust reformer and prior to priming I would have used a epoxy primer on the bare metal to seal a d protect from elements. Unfortunately all the rust spots will re appear very soon.. but If you just going to flip it to a stranger you get away with it. But since your doing most the work anyway what's 1 more step ..

That is absolutely beautiful. You have a lot of skill and expert techniques.

This video was very relaxing.

Clearly for amateurs by a well meaning amateur doing a tidy up and that's fine and a bit of fun. Its an old car with some life in it but not worth a professional respray. If you have the energy aint to fussy why not? don't knock it. Some of us have been there then we hit the big time and then we end up watching stuff like this to kill time lol.

My goodness, what a transformation!! Great job

You did a great job, well done my friend!!

Been doing body work/ prep and paint for 7 years Ngl it was painful to watch I wish I was there to guide him through some of the steps he could’ve done just little things here and there that would make the job more perfect but honestly with more practice this guy could open up his paint shop in no time

I wish I had the balls to do this man

I’m doing my truck. It’s coming out pretty good. Just by watching videos like this on.

Thank you for sharing your work. I learned a lot. I have two trucks and a motor home to paint. I am grateful to you. Have a blessed day!

You did it like a pro man👍
