I Just bought a 1984 4x4 Chevy 465 4-Speed from Montana for me and my boy a 79 4x4 465-4 speed 3/4 Ton from Montana. I paint and Do all the Whench work. I got into paint because i Couldn't find anyone to do the level of work you just Did on your brothers truck. That looks Beautiful I'm glad to find you guys. And I was Glad to hear you guys telling people the time and amount of work - hours- and Skill it takes to make them look like Glass. When Did my Pops 86 black Chevy Short box you couldn't see a imperfection in it!! And it was a foot Deep Reflection in it!! I actually sanded my finger tips off wet sanding it. I have OCD I'm told. :) I'm Really looking forward to See more guys Keep up the Great Standard it will make you!!
Nice , I would like to have you do my 74 square body. Your detail work, and prep, is outstanding, any one who had there vehicle done by you is certainly proud !!🛠🇺🇸
Lol I totally get where you guys are coming from! About three years ago I bought a 83 Chevy dually twin cab with a extended bed. The paint was old and crappy so I sanded the entire vehicle down to the metal. Big mistake! As I was sanding it down I couldn’t figure out what all this filler was I was sanding out. Well once I got the whole vehicle sanded down I finally realized I created a monster! The truck had metal warpage all over the place on every door every Panel, hood, tail gate, everything! Well here I am three years later STILL working on the body! Almost there! I might make a vid of me spraying it down with prime sealer then the base. Then has probably been the hardest thing I have ever undertaken in my life, but yeah I too try to use the lighting as a guide to show me of any imperfections still standing out. The hood is a little tricky since it lays flat and not side ways so I’m trying different lighting positions with different kinds of lights to try and find that reflection I’m looking for. Great work, truck looks great! I know what you went through to get it where it was 👍
@@HeiseyMotors Thanks.. I’m trying lol.. I see you focused and sprayed different parts of the truck on separate days. I’m thinking about doing this myself so I can focus on and spray the rear one day like you did in this video. Then the cab roof and doors another day. Then finally the front and hood. Is this alright to do or will the paint colors not match if the temp outside is different from the last day you sprayed? I have to use fast drying with my base since it’s not going to be over 70 degrees for a while where I live.
I bought a 1981 Silverado long bed in January 2017. I am doing a frame off restoration. I've been working on it for nearly 3 and a half years and almost ready for paint. This is my first time restoring a vehicle and I agree it takes a lot of time, dedication and money to do it right .
@@JustMike2791 To me all the time, labor and money I've got invested in my truck is worth it. I also bought a 2003 Impala in December 2018 that I had to go through and basically replace everything mechanical because the elderly lady who owned it neglected it. It still had parts from 2003 on it. Lol
I just subscribed and the paint looked good. The only thing that will cause me to unsubscribe is language. And I did not hear a bad word when I watched this video. Thanks for that.
Foul language is part of who I am as a Marine, so brace yourself in future videos. It's how I talk and I prefer no censorship with the exception of not saying the "f" word because of demonitization🤷🏻♂️
Totally get whAt you put into the prepwork. I hope you guy get what you deserve. IV tried it a few times and it's frustrating. I lack patients. Maybe this winter I'll try again otherwise my truck will stay rat.
I’m not worthy 🤯…. who said the best body guy you will find is a Spanish man.? You can tell he has the Demeanor that is takes to do this right the whole way through! Very good job dude bad ass color!
Ryan does some incredible work. We need to get our own paint shop so we can do more hot rod paint, the market isn't very great for that stuff around here. Too small of a city unfortunately
What clear did you use over that Deltron? Very good work by the way-made that plus gun sing. Ever tried a Sagola 4600? If you can lay it down that nice with a plus you would love the 4600. Look forward to seeing more.
I've used my plus since I was in high school idk I have used an iwata w400 I think it was for clear and it had awesome atomization. This plus gun I used in the video was literally bought least 13 years ago I was still in auto collision in votech and shes been my primer sealer and clearcoat gun ever since.
4 to 5 coats bro that’s a little too many I think 3 coats is plenty even if you cut a buff after words get too many coats you can get solvent pops then you have big problems looks good man
On a restoration you always do more than 3 coats. Unless you spray your coats perfectly, you're going to have to wet sand. Wet sanding ALL the orange peel out will rip off at least 2 coats of clear minimum. Spraying 3 coats would only give you one final layer of protection from chips, we don't do that. We like to have more protection so the paint holds up far longer and won't chip or fade
On restorations I've always done 4-5 coats of clear you just have to follow your flash times on your first 2 coats then extend them by 5 mins on the third coat then on the 4th coat and 5th coat I leave it sit 20-25 mins for flash time on this one and never got solvent pop havent in the past either only time you'll get solvent pop is if you dont follow flash time and bake it which i dont bake my paint
That's a loaded question. If by some miracle it doesn't have any wrecks on it and all body panels are straight, to do a top shelf paint job on that would probably be something like 4k I'm sure. Diving into it if anything is out of whack or needs body worked (which it likely will need, they all do) it's a metric ton of hours and could be closer to a 15k paint job depending on how crazy we're getting into it. Price quoting is a dicey game because you never know how those panels look underneath unless the customer has it already sandblasted at the start and we can see all the panels clearly.
For people that think paint/body work prices are too high, do it yourself cheaper and see why professionals charge so much. I do my own and understand why it costs so much at a good shop.
Weird question. Picked up a 84 sierra really cheap….was hit on the driver side and looks it had a little frame damage. Is that easy to fix so I can do the body work to paint it?
If you know a decent frame puller around you, then its not too bad. You want to make sure these frames square up on a jig after a hard impact or else your body lines will be all over the place and your axles will sit crooked.
I wanted to give you an update on the progress of the restoration of my '81 Silverado long bed. I've decided to change the color of my truck completely from the Chestnut Brown it was to a Metallic Midnight Blue. I also updated the interior by changing it from that ugly dark brown to a modern medium Nuetral Tan including swapping out the worn-out vinal bench seat with a 60/40 split bench seat out of a '96 Silverado.
man i understand!!! bin prepping a dodge w200 for months now. its so hard to get the bed 100% tight. i made 3 meter long sanding blocks to cover almost the whole panels. alot of filler, then spray filler, blokking again for days and weeks, again spray filler. again blokking. then primer. still blocking alot. another coat of primer to get wrid of the burned threu places. now after 2000 euros of materials and months just sanding its ready for paint. i checked it so many times with water or cleaner to see there are no marks left. but its tight as fuck. i also wetsand the clear and polisch it till high definetion. people really do not understand that you have to be a little fucked in the head to go the distance. but there is no other way!!!!!
Love the color on this. Im in the middle of having my 1977 gmc k10 restored. Im kinda curious of how long a good paint job should take hours wise? Including all the wet sanding etc. I am 13k over budget and they still haven't painted. All the body work is done all supplies paid for and when i asked how much it was the wrap this restoration up he wouldn't tell me a price when im literally 33k into this project. I reused all my old parts only new stuff i got was interior. Im feeling like im being taking advantage of. Any insight would be super appreciated. Look forward to more video's
Bull shit i through one together in a weekend, body work will take longer but not really maybe 2 weekends. If you take 4 months then you probably should go fine a job a Walmart. Good looking paint 👌
4 months in total. There were other vehicles in the shop being worked on while doing this one, rotating vehicles. Would love to see some videos of body work in two weekends guy! We're doing okay over here, don't need a job at Walmart🤣
