T5 build series - dashboard paint - colour change 

Yep can’t watch Matt anymore he progressively gets more annoying as the years pass.

Hey Ed thank you 🙏 really appreciate the kind words. I have to be honest I don’t even watch his videos I just see them pop up and loads of people ask if I watch him. I enjoy watching more real life RU-vidrs with a reasonable budget rather than just throwing thousands at stuff. Maybe I’m a little jealous 🤷 don’t know I don’t think I want to be that big as I wouldn’t be able to reply to all you guys in the comments it would be overwhelming. Either way thank you 👍

Ive only seen a few minutes of one video but a lot of people ask me if I watch him, the cars and numbers ££ are just ridiculous. I’ll stick with my budget stuff 👍👍

I’ve also pinned this to the top as I’m blown away by your kind words mate 👍

Yup. Matt is a bit hard to watch...

Thanks mate appreciate that 👍

Hey Karl thank you sir 🙏 always appreciate your comments 👍 I hope you have a great weekend to sir

Thank you mate 👍 I can only listen to the older stuff but definitely makes the long job go easier

@@YTDTETV Yeah man, I listen to both new and old. Prefer the older jungle and old skool Jump Up, its all gone a bit strange now with some producers :(

Thank you sir appreciate that 👍

Hey bud thank you I super appreciate that 👍 I do my best with what I can afford, I’ve watched a few RU-vidrs go from zero to hero and the content changes. If I even make it big I’ll stay the same I promise but I will treat my caddy and T5 to some nicer wheels 😂👍

Your content is brilliant. I learnt a lot, I must say. Keep um coming mate.

Thanks Clive appreciate that mate 👍

Hey francis ah ye 🤙 I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again DTE is just 3 letters without followers like you so thank you for supporting me ❤️🙏👍

Thanks mate appreciate that 👍 I’m looking forward to the inside being abit nicer.

Hey Conrad I agree 👍 my caddy and the T5 had the same horrible trim, it had to go. Thanks mate appreciate that

Hey bud that sounds good similar setup to what I’m planing just with one row of seats 👍 I’ll check out your pictures.

Thank you mate appreciate that 🙏

Thank you mate 👍 appreciate the comment

Hey Ragnar thank you for always taking the time to comment mate I do really appreciate your kind words 🙏👍👍

@@YTDTETV not a problem I alway enjoy your videos.

Thanks bill 👍

Hey plumpi thank you mate 👍 I’ve just been been notified by the mrs I didn’t put a picture up of the paint, RAL 7024 with extra black. Easy enough good paint shops can make it up in rattle can form to 👍

Haha yes Phillip 😂 thanks mate 👍

Thanks Dave appreciate that mate 👍

Hey bud thank you really appreciate that 👍 do you watch the bodywork videos I do? If so I’ll go over setting up paint guns in the next one 👍

Ah ye 👌

Thanks David I’m happy with it, I’ve used to colour a few times and seems to match up close enough 👍

Hey bud thank you appreciate that 👍 yes your right they are a nicer dash, I have a company wanting to send me android stereos to try so I’ll make a wee video on that if it happens. Oh man I’ve seen those colour inserts for the clocks 👍 I’m on there page on FB and I have even messaged them, price is not bad at all but I don’t know if I have to soldering skills to fit it.

Thanks mate 🙏👍 I see your video about airbrushing a dog the other day that was absolutely brilliant, my kids come and terrorised me right at the end so didn’t get a chance to comment. I’ll comment on the next ones 👍

@@YTDTETV 👍

Hey bud I received that thank you so much 👍 I really appreciate it 🙏

Hi bud thank you appreciate that 👍 yes for sure, you would need to go to and car shop that sells spray paints and look for one that is close enough to what it needs to be, could even take a small piece of trim with you to try and match it up. Some paint places can make any colour into a spray can maybe a Google search or phone around. Just clean the hell out of them with a degreaser I guess even washing up liquid is a degreaser and a red scotch pad and they clean and prep the plastic. Then get a tin of the plastic primer I showed in the video and give them a really thin light coat. Then with the paint just really thin light dusty coats to colour them up and your done 👍

Hey bud thank you 👍 the hardener is just any HS paint hardener and all it does it gives the base coat abit of flexibility and durability. My pained bits are very similar to oe ones to touch and feel so shouldn’t catch dirt. I’ll up load a video short on here tomorrow explaining what I used and why 👍

Yes Dave 🤙 that is the era I can listen to the newer stuff really don’t do it for me. Ah ye 👍👍

A splash of thinners just so it comes out nice and not stodgy, the RAL colour is 7024 with a little more black in and I add a splash of hardener to make the base coat more durable 👍 thank you

Thank you 👍 yep no lacquer just a tiny bit of any hardener in with the base coat to give the paint a slight bit of flexibility and it lasts very well. That’s a good idea of thinned down raptor 👍👍

@@YTDTETV I've gotta try that! 👌👌

@@bespokedfurniture I’m literally as we speak doing the sunvisors and grab handles for next weeks video so you’ll see how they come out to 👍

@YTDTETV sweet 👌 just watched the wing mirror installation vid 👊

@@bespokedfurniture awesome thanks 🙏 👍

Hi bud it’s a single stage base coat, base coat dries Matt, I added a drop of hardener to give the base coat abit of flexibility. Thank you appreciate that 👍

@@YTDTETV Okay and thanks for the info. And greetings from Finland 👍

@@samituomisto106 no problem shout out to 🇫🇮 👍👍

Haha I do waffle on sometimes 😂

Thanks mate 👍

Thanks ghetto 👍👍

Hey James you have a keen eye sir 👍 yes I’ve looked at it multiple times 😂 when I do the rest of the inside I’ll pull all the seats and B pillar trims off and get the belt sander out to remove them 👍

@@YTDTETV 😂😂 only because I’ve done mine. It definitely looks cleaner without it.

@@jamesibbo1 haha I said in my head a few times I’ll do it now then I look at all the welds and say I’ll do that another day 😂

@@YTDTETV only an hours work for a man of your caliber

Thanks again Archie 👍👍

Mines still only 5 speed and still going strong, if it ever fails I’ll do a 6 speed then 👍

I believe its RAL 7024

Sorry bud 7024 👍

Spot on Ben 👍

Thanks peerless 👍👍

Have you cut the bump stops down? I’ve lowered a caddy on standard shocks before with no issues, also the exhaust hits the axle sometimes when lowered

@@YTDTETV have the bump stops cut I had shorter shocks in but the bushes were falling out so I put in standerd shocks in and now it’s banging when going over bumps

@@potbell1 I wonder if it’s the exhaust hitting on the axle as I had that issue on one I lowered

@@YTDTETV I’ll have a look tomorrow and see
