LS Powered Jeep Roadster is PAINTED!! 

I was lucky enough to grow up at a big shop my father owned with a a lot of great people to teach me from a very young age but I will say to you well done you work hard fail learn and keep moving forward .... so well done and I hope young people learn from you to get out there and just go for it build something

You forgot the Mountain Dew 😂

Remember there is perfect in imperfect.

Use a couple of drops of fisheye remover in your paint the next time it will help with the orange peel

It looks great . don't swear the small stuff.first paint Job,! perfect

If you can FEEL IT, you can SEE IT! the 1 thing to remember about body work

try dusting some black spray paint on your body filler to see your high and low spots ans it well allow us to see how it looks

I was thinking of adding jokes to my videos... Thanks for talking me out of it...

It's like a homemade Caterham 7

Preston, it is for you to improve just keep working and it will get better and your skill level will get better too. Puns are my favorite form of joking, great puns!!

I clicked on this video so fast that I put my headset backwards

The jeepvet is looking great, good to see paint on it. Can't wait till the bug is at this stage....👍

You can create a T-Shirt whit says: I ❤ Bondo

She looks great... flaws and all. Thank you for keeping at it. I can’t wait to see her all back together.

2 👍👍 looks good buddy. I like how you don't try to edit out your imperfections. A learning channel learning. Still I think it's going to look awesome. 👌 F-ing mint 👌👌

Damn that's smooth!!!!! Love that color!

This guy... not only cutting up cars/utility vehicles but also cutting some rug? Nice! Gj man!

Paint runs ...... who’s going to see paint runs when you staging a big smoke 💨 show ?? 😎

Flaws n All. Proud of this performance. Smiling from ear to ear......... Hmmmm maybe I was smiling from the comic relief 🤔.

I do not like the project of virtually destroying a C5 Corvette. That being said, let us get to the project. What a great learning curve In ALL ASPECS of modification, construction, sheetmetal, engineering, etc. You recognize what you have learned and what you have not learned; you have shown the ability to handle success, failure, and changes in mid-stream to achieve a desirable end result as you move along your path of success/failure. Coming from the negative attitude of Corvette destruction to a project completion has been an opportunity to see you grow you skills. Watched everyone of the films (old school) and they were very good even the comic affects. Yes, you have learned a lot with still more to learn; keep going, Tiger! You set the path and the conditions you will follow in the future which I think will be very good. I have looked at this from a hobby of restoring sports cars over the years along with skills from being an aircraft A&E technical (FAA Acft & Power plant technician; Acft Inspection). Looking forward to the finished project.

I don't know if this will be helpful, but I was taught that you should keep the pressure at 20psi and try to keep your gun square on and 12 inches from what you're painting for the best finish. However, its been about fifteen years since I resprayed my last car, so my memory could be a little sketchy on the detail... Looks like you're already doing that or close to it though. Umm... why didn't you wrap your tires up?

as the Builder you will always be Super critical of your work...you did good. Once you finish painting and put togerther n sitting in the Sun...it'll blow you away lookin Good...:)

ok, now THAT... is huuuuge! bondo be DAMNED! great work preston.... now about that bug....

Dad jokes: bada tis🥁

If you paint another car and wanna see the imperfections you can get a spray bottle and see em on the primer a lot easier. Never painted a car but it’s something I picked up when I trained 2 years for body/paint work. Finally got the courage watching tour vids to paint my own car. GOOD JOB!!!!!

As usual Pres, love the dad jokes. As far as the paint work, the only person you need to make happy is you. You have come a long way, learned from your "mistakes", gone back and fixed what you felt needed to and lived with what you didn't. As usual great work young padwan. Soon you too shall become the master.

Wanna hear a joke about COVID-19? ... ... Nah nvm you probably won’t get it. 😂😂😂😂💀

I wanted to tell you about my first paint Job. It was a warm summer day way back in 1987 I knew nothing about painting or paint guns. I thought the fan went the same way the front of the gun went, well as you well know it's opposite. So I was putting the paint on my 1973 Chevy LUV ( Light Utility Vehicle) and by the time I got to the same side I started on I had runs so bad it was dripping on the floor. I swear to God this is a true story. So I then found out how the gun worked. I waited two weeks for the paint to dry and then stared sanding (by hand no power tools) then I painted the truck again and added stripes three different colors and added pin stripes to separate the colors. It looked fantastic after people saw the truck I started painting cars and trucks for all my friends. The last car I painted has won 3 first place trophy's and best of show at two event's. The moral of this story is I didn't know anything about painting cars and went on to do fantastic work you my friend are way ahead of me I can't wait to see what you do next. Your first paint job is really good and some wet sanding and buffing and you will solve all your imperfections... Good Job

If your viscosity isn’t right and/or u keep using fast converters and reducers the paint doesn’t have time to level out properly with orange peel as a result. And those higher temps don’t help you either. Now you keep adding more paint in order to drown the orange peel but with the risk of creating runners. And that did happen didn’t it. Even thousands of pinholes could have come to the surface when you build up to thick and to fast with a fast mixed clear and high temperatures. It literally will start to boil after an hour or so and really tiny bubbles will occur which eventually will burst leaving thousands of pinholes. But luckily that didn’t happen. If I was you I would use a slow ore medium converter en a slow reducer in a warm climate like yours. And start with a thin wet layer and than, with patience build it up slightly thicker. Oh, and don’t forget to coat the extra weld you did in your wheel Weld left rear otherwise it will rot through your fender quite fast from the inside out. One more piece of advice, you might wanna use a gide coat, then you will notice the small imperfections in the primer or the transition from primer to bondo better. I hope you’re not offended by my unasked given advice and hope it might actually help you in your next project.

DUDE!!!!! I mean DOOOOOOOODE looks sweet. Hey what do think about a battle ship number on the doors, maybe white then scuff it down to look patina? Either with or without looks killer.

You're confused why your gun is clogged!? U didn't use any filters! Also no paint stick? In desperate times you can use anything as a paint stick... at minimum a tightly rolled piece of paper..

lacquer thinner is a much better gun cleaner (and cheaper?) than acetone. And I have the same gun! I'm painting my XJ (Project Bumble Jeep, check it out) with it. Using Rustoleum safety yellow. No clear coat, but I am using enamel hardener. You did a nice job. God bless and stay well.

Good work Preston! Don’t worry about perfection it’s going to look killer once it’s all together. Nobody likes a trailer queen. Use it have fun learning from your experience, keep it up 👍

It looks great man! Idk if I would have the cajones to tackle such a big project lol I’ve never done any form of body work before. Can’t wait to see you ripping it down the road (6ft away from other cars of course 😀)

You’re doing fine. Just take your time and do the best that you can. Don’t worry about imperfections as I used to be told ya gotta start somewhere. You’ll get better as you go. Can’t wait to see the doors good and front fenders with grill. Don’t sweat 😓 it. Have a Blessed One Sir.

This paintjob looks amazing, you knocked it in the outfield, (is that a proverb?)

Now its time for the Mountain Dew Green Pinstripes lol Paintjob turned out awesome. Great work. Very glad i found this channel

now you can cut your body work time from this job, maybe 1/5 shorter, because you know what you're not to do when you approach the bug. Im glad your still being who you are.

i think the only thing i could pick apart about your painting technique is burst painting is a huge NO! and only going to the edge on your passes when you should go a little bit further, otherwise i think this thing came out better than you were expecting it to which is why youre happy with it. i like it i think its cool and the imperfections youre worried about dont mean anything considering how far its come and how many panels were frankensteined together. good job and way to keep moving forward! i hit that like button for the dad jokes

Props to you brother, it looks good. Give it some time, wet sand the clear and shoot the last coat. If you're happy now, it'll make you grin ear to ear. 🤗

This Jeep is turning out so bad ass I love the clean Jeep rod look glad you didn’t go with the rear mounted turbos keep up the good work! By the way dad joke cuts are definitely the way to go 😂😂😂

Fuckin mint! If i was close i’d try to pay you to do that “non professional” job on my ride,and exact same color. Love the dark grays

Good job bud, looks good, I only wish they made the vettes or jeeps like this, looks like such a fun toy to have, you’ll get a lot of rubberneckers with it!

You gonna weld up the rest of those wheeltubs? Also, you want some protectant in the seat area, I think you said you were going to use dynomat, I don'r remember.

I am the run king I'd rather work a run than orange peel but that's just me I think you did very well with the experience you have ..done good kid lmao 👍

U had to much pressure and the paint volume was a little fat and use a wider fan patern and hold your gun 10 to 12 inches from the surface and you wont get that. Bad orange peal sometimes ill mix fast and medium thinners to get a better layout of paint

good idea with the light reflection , you can realy see when the orangepeel starts to flow out and you need to stopp adding paint done a good job , the bodywork is 99.9 percent of the quallity of the paintjob thats why it takes so long to get a quallity paintjob when you bring youre car to a professional painter they do this stuff for a job and they burn out on that stuff too

wet sand it with 2000 grit and use juiced super c compound to cut it back and use a anti swirl on the buffer to finish it of. might need to sand the drips with something abit more corse. although great job

Sometimes you can pick out a wet run somewhat by looping some tape sticky side out on 2 fingers and lightly dabbing it on the run..

Don’t ever put yourself down bro you paint better than I do I would got mad and turned that in to a BBQ pit you have more patience than I do keep up the good work 🙏🏻

U you need to find out what spot putty is and how to use it after bond then primer then spot putty is a filler used over primer no need to send off the primer you just use the spot putty over the primer just look were you buy Hondo primer that will also sell spot putty it's just another auto body product sold to be used as a filler over primer

That stirring method is called boxing. Dam dude. Looks sooo good! Ghud jhaergb!

Flaws dont matter.. when that things going down the road people will be to confused on wtf it is to look for flaws...good job bro!!

I think it turned out awesome. So glad that you have crossed over such a huge hurdle in the build process and can take a enormous deep breath now.

Just never lift your foot off the gas pedal,nobody will ever notice paint😂jk looks great

In my sixties had the same motorcycle for 47 years painted it 44 X you will get better be patient😁😁

Liking the color ,now some red accents here and there, u-pol raptor in color the floor 😎👍🏼🦅🇺🇸

Don't be too hard on yourself, Preston. Stand back 6 feet and nobody will spot the floors 🙂

Dam fine work doing it all your self bro, that's really quite impressive.

Well if your trying to learn then learn what spot putty is and how and what it used it will a lot of time and money and the finished product will turn out better

What a big smile. I really love watching what you do, Preston.

PAINT. A+, JOKES-NO!

I just got back from the Neuro-proctologist, and my eyes are still dilated. But it looks and smells great Payton. Nice brontosauraus!

Its good enouffer! Don't be afraid to buff that brand new paint job to get the overspray off

How about a wide body for the jeep.I think it should look awsome.

I promise its a lot easier to watch body work than it is to do body work. Nice job.

Shouldn’t you filter the paint first? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Don't sand and buff for a week or so....It'll look better by then as well.

Don’t be too upset it’s not a concourse restro the car has been done by you that’s what counts It’s cool

Why do you put bog over the masking tape???

Doesn’t look bad on camera especially not being a pair or body man👍

That light is the prefect clear coat thickness gauge. It looks sweeeeeet.

What do you call a cow with no legs........Ground Beef....lol

Yep..awesome...no drips no runs no errors...sweet..enjoy..thanks

Hahaha.....those one liners!...car looks good...keep it up!

I'm not crying, you're crying! What a payoff!

You look like the grown up version of the kid in Toy Story 😂

Whats the name of the first music you played ? i like that beat

Congrats! Do you plan on doing any hydro dipping for this car?

Have you bond to The bondo,? Good looking...Nice job

A milestone my friend. It looks great 🇬🇧👁

Dude....that thing is mean......can’t wait until it’s done

A little bit of sandpapper and it's done.

It’s a Jeep it’s not supposed to have good paint. Rip it!!’

It's Good, I'm proud of you, you're about 80% complete. Most of the hard part is behind you. We Want To See it Done. We Want To See You Pull Up To a Mustang, or a River. You Know The Rest.

You are doing a good job preston It looks very good!

I'm only 25 seconds in and seeing the preview of the paint, and man dude. I'm ecstatic for you Preston. While being an "idiot" is certainly entertaining to the watching masses, and we all like seeing dumb stuff on s***boxes, I'm glad you have something nice and can be proud of as well.

Just keep working and improving from here Preston! Not bad at all for no previous experience sir. Flaws are what decals were invented for lol. Seriously though, just take your time and correct your issues one at a time until you're done. In the military we are always trying to improve our position. That's all that is needed here! Staying tuned in for more updates!!

life's a journey bro!! I painted a Datsun 510 when I was 17 I know better than to do that the way I did it life's a journey learn from your mistakes next vehicle will be way better stay away from that virus brother I love your videos they're entertaining and educational peace out

I would've painted the cage and inside the beds. Nobody's gonna notice the flaws. The attention with be under the hood and what you see looking down like the interior. Which I why I said I would've painted the bed floor. Cleaning up the transaxle will be a good distraction from paint flaws.

that color would have looked good in matte too...ijs

Great job!!!! Way to go! So proud of you!

Looks better than any of my attempts! Good job.

So why didn't you add harder to the paint? I think the gun clothes cause you didn't strain the paint. Why didnt you paint the back of the jeep, wheel wells and around engine? You have A lot of wet sanding and buffing to by the orange peel out.

You should invent a paint gun with a really wide spreading light on it. If you get rich off of that idea. Send me some bux. ;) love from locked up nz

Encima como si corta rebaixa um gippe essas coisas a sim o passo a passo.

It turned out good. Another great video 👍👍🇨🇱

hey man ya gotta start some where . i think it looks awesome . besides your going to drive it hard and enjoy the hell out of it .great job . its not how perfect it is ,its how ya feel when you are enjoying it . i paint mine with a roller and i am proud of them . for me paint is only good at 30 miles an hour and up . lol you look back at what ya started with.... be dam proud man .you rocked it .

Joop>Jeep
