Hey Eric, I been a mobile auto paint repair guy for 20 years in the Prescott area. Do not throw those headlights away. Wet sand them with 400 wet/dry sand paper and then spray them with clear enamel. Make sure to get all the yellow off when you sand them. They will look like new.

@nomadicfanatic 21 день назад

I'm gonna do that! Thanks bud!

@mariemcallister688 21 день назад

Tell me , would you use that pen paint to paint tailgates ?

@DanRather_ 20 дней назад

💯💯💯

@chystubin07 20 дней назад

I saw video's on youtube of people using deep woods off, they let it set a few mins then wiped it off and they were clear as a bell. Watch the videos and if you try it let us know.

@janete6439 20 дней назад

Nice tip! Thank you!! I will try that 2013 and 2011 original headlights! Needless to say, driving at night..no thank you. Lol. After I spiff up those headlights enamel, oh yeah! Maybe, night driving isn't out of the question. Thank you again!! Big hugs to you and your family.

@showcasecharlie11 21 день назад

Future tip Eric, there are paint places who will mix paint matched exactly to your paint on your vehicle, faded and all by using a special camera. Then they have really good quality clear coat. Both come in a spray can, like the large cans you might but at Walmart or something. Roughly $20 a can. Much better paint quality than that duplicolor stuff from AutoZone or O'Reilly's.

@robbyjones6745 19 дней назад

The only imperfection on the truck… except for the paint missing at the top of both passenger side doors, the big ass ding on the passenger bedside, the rip on the drivers seat and then those other chips… and then those yellow headlights. Other than that, it’s a great truck with a 4.6L engine.

@jaymiddlebrook5049 21 день назад

Sadly Eric that color white is famous for peeling. Seems the grey primer underneath goes bad. The whole truck will eventually peel.

@blairinhemet 21 день назад

no it won't--have a 2001 ranger with a few spots like yours but it definitly hasn't peeled the whole truck

@sparky42 20 дней назад

the little light aren't twinkling Clark ... I know Art and thanks for pointing that out

@robertgall1275 20 дней назад

First year's of waterborn paint and factory adhesion problems. All manufacturers had them sadly in the beginning.

@letsbuildasnowman7058 19 дней назад

@@blairinhemetActually it probably will, 25 year body man here. You can’t use 1 truck as an example to say it won’t flake haha.

@lelandfields3783 21 день назад

Change the oil every 3 thousand miles religiously. That's the best thing you can do for those 5.4 3 valve engines. And change the coolant frequently.

@robbyjones6745 19 дней назад

But he doesn’t have a 5.4 3 valve. He has a 4.6L SOHC.

@georgiacorey954 21 день назад

It looks good Eric. It's a work truck and now it won't rust. Love the rain guards.

@robbyjones6745 19 дней назад

Also - pro tip here free of charge. The paint in the can is oxford white and would have matched the factory color before your truck sat in the sun for 20 years but the paint doesn’t match faded paint. You’d have to get a shop to blend your paint to make it match as best as possible. So you think you can buy paint for a 2004 vehicle but not for a 1980’s vehicle? 😂 At least you already know you’re doing it wrong…

@MrDocc4u 21 день назад

Eric,for the plastic pieces on the truck that are faded you can use a propane torch to heat the plastic and it will go back to the original black.,✌️❤️❤️✌️

@cindaman 20 дней назад

This is what i was coming to say as well

@billbaxter2914 21 день назад

Truck and property is lookin great Eric….

@letsbuildasnowman7058 19 дней назад

Oh god he’s gonna start sticking a bunch of cringy accessories on the thing.

@ZMcDaniel13 21 день назад

For all your faded plastic take a small blow torch (small fire starter bottle) and torch your plastic and it’ll look brand new!!

@grayeagleswolves 20 дней назад

Hey Eric way to go on the Truck man Love the upgrades

@GrandmaBugsPlace 21 день назад

Nice truck. Don’t think to much on little things just enjoy it the helper it will be. I know….some of us folks like to make it “right for me” on vehicles. No a thing wrong with fixing this and that. Rain….wow that’s some rain!! Am sure Arizona needs that rain. Hugs and keep enjoying life

@friskydingo5370 21 день назад

Try armor all on the headlights , plastic parts and tires. The suns uv will dry out plastic keeping it oiled keeps it from fading don't spray paint plastic it requires a special paint and will ways peel it is better to restore the original plastic. Plastic is made from oil so oiling it is what keeps it shining ✨️ 😉

@waynebradish6344 21 день назад

Good temporary fix, the paint is starting to fail. So no telling how long till it all starts peeling. But that could be a year or 10 years. Looks good for now

@mariemcallister688 21 день назад

A few months ago, if your camera fell, you would have growled like a grizzly. It's a sign of your happiness. So happy for you💜🩵💚

@Ragesauce 21 день назад

Instead of taking the front grill off, you can put a piece of cardboard behind it and tape everything off in front.

@jany2549 21 день назад

Truck looks nice. I like the Harley decal on the back window which gives it some 'class'.

@jpinto9102 21 день назад

Luv your videos..reminds me when I restored all 3 of my cars: 75 vanilla vw beetle,71 racing red MGB convertible with chrome wire wheels and 77 BMW 320i metal flake green, but appears gold at sunset or by the beach.

@crossxcats 21 день назад

hit it with 2k grit sandpaper and buffing compound it will blend in have painted a few cars

@Grock66 21 день назад

Eric , you should have used a little bit of bondo on the touch ups and sand it flush before the paint . Also brown sand paper is for wood only . You need the black for sanding metal or automotive paint.looks pretty good though with all those coats 😎

@NoName-zq6ic 20 дней назад

yep, could have wet sanded the paint edges and had a smooth touchup.

@Dave-zj1zj 21 день назад

Pilot, get some polishing compound for that. It'll make it look nice and smooth

@evanjarvi406 21 день назад

For the black plastic stuff get some back to black from auto store should be by the car wax and stuff

@billyjoe961 20 дней назад

You could rent a skid steer to spread that rock would be way easier

Congrats on the new truck, Eric and may it serve you well. Negative Nancys (or Nancies?) will be negative.

@markparr7224 20 дней назад

When I first got my 03 Tahoe, I washed a bunch of the white paint off. I tried to poof can it an most of that came right off too.

@stevepayne7813 20 дней назад

Try Mothers "Back to black" on your front grill. I think the black paint will make things worse.

@NoName-zq6ic 20 дней назад

Have you looked up air filter for a 2004 ford f-150 5.4L and figured out how to make a flat rectangular filter fit in that large round air filter canister you have? Once you load the bed down or hookup the trailer with bike, you'll feel the difference of 231HP/293Torque(4.6L) compared to 300HP/365Torque (5.4L).

@clydemckenzie3933 21 день назад

@zoommikerobinson3315 21 день назад

Protect that nice truck from hail, maybe a cover or shelter. 😺🇺🇸🐎🐂🤠

@simsjam 20 дней назад

Eric I recommend adding mud guards (front and rear) and rear wheel well liners for the F150. It will help prevent the rock chips.

@rvboondocker2559 21 день назад

Also, just put cardboard behind the grill and tape off the rest of it on the front and spray paint it. It should be clean?

@RayNomadic 21 день назад

Such a nice looking truck. I would have probably got a blue or Forrest green color. But i don't live in Arizona where having a white vehicle is just a smart move to protect from the sun.

Wait til you have to replace the exhaust manifolds which you will absolutely have to.

@bryanwhat2268 21 день назад

On all the plastics I think you should just use armerall with az sun I’m not sure how long the black paint will hold up

@danoalex2977 21 день назад

Paint the plastic, only solution

@shibalover54 20 дней назад

Armorall actually speeds up degradation in the hot Arizona sun. Proven it will ruin tires and cause them to crack earlier than normal.

Don't spray paint the grill or any plastic parts. Use the tire shine to make the plastic black again.

@MrZachzippo 21 день назад

On the polastic outside, that is not painted. Use something like "CERAKOTE® Ceramic Trim Coat Kit - Quick Plastic Trim Restorer - Ceramic Coating Black Trim Restoration to Last Over 200 Washes - A Ceramic Coating, Not a Dressing" It will do the trick and you can use ie on your grill as well.

@howardburakof4364 21 день назад

Don't keep the paint pen in the car, it will dry out. Keep it in a dry place.

@humanvideosponge4529 21 день назад

Honestly, the truck didn't look bad with the paint blemishes. White is a forgiving color for things like that. People see a slightly older truck like that, they don't expect perfect paint. I don't think anyone is paying that much attention. I had 20 year old car that had that peeling problem on a few spots for years and never rusted.

@bboinngg 21 день назад

I have family all over in Arizona. Monsoons are the reason I won't live there or visit in July. They are too violent. Arizona and Florida can keep that crap! My brother has lived in Bisbee since 1968. He got that same Monsoon. Said it was wild and hadn't seen that much action in several years. hahahahaha

Order the 20 again. When he arrives, hold a hundred dollar bill up and say "It's yours if I can get you to split it in a few places." 100% he will split it as much as you want. And that is hella easier than doing it yourself with a shovel.

Good work on the truck, I've got the works to touch up my truck but putting it off, so thanks for the demo.
