Wow, I’ve just realised I’ve been watching your videos for nine years. That’s a lot of learning done. I still remember little Bruno..🙂

Good tip! One thing I like to do when sanding hoods on the car is pop the hood latch in addition to tape so sander won't hit fenders

Omg I haven’t seen Pete in years! Glad I found you again!

I have done my share of body work for a very thorough shop owner and wow there is so much more to it than anyone could imagine. The master/owner always said I was good but I think he was just a positive type guy that liked to try to inspire being there was so many things he could see and feel that I couldn’t. But had I started young like him it might have been different. The best of the best start there trade at a very young age. We both love motorcycles and both started riding at about 4/5yrs old and i have to say I had him there. Lol

Thanks Pete I start a new shop this Monday it’s good to freshen up on a video

Big Fan Pete! I did body work back in the day. And loved it. For some reason I always get nervous when I go to paint. Why you ask? Well there is so many variables, Temperature, Mixture of Paint, Air Pressure, Gun Set Up, Etc. And really have not had a lot practice with that. But enjoy watching your Videos. Thanks for all you do!

Thanks so much for these excellent videos. I am in the process of restoring a 1975 MGB. The bodywork is finished and I have used the trunk lid for practice. I've made and then fixed several errors. Now I need to strip the base and the layers of primer because I had not given the primer enough time to cure. Lesson learned and, once again, thanks for all of your guidance.

Great Videos: your videos make my wife and me smile. Is my summary good/complete?
- Finish sanding repairs & rest of original clear coat w/400 (assume perfect now) on entire panel(s). It’s OK that existing clear coat stays, as long as it is 400 sanded.
-Clean. -Epoxy Prime Bare Metal. -Paint entire areas/panels just sanded w/ 1 stage paint. -2K Clear Coat, etc.
Hope I got this right & get an A from your classes! I’m a restorer not a painter/body guy. Thanks. Want to do some professional small/tiny repairs.

Thank You for sharing your sanding experience.

This is very helpful.🙏🏼

[henryramirez]

I like this guy really seems down to earth

[chasebrown]

Thanks for the video & advice 🙏🏽
I think for a small or medium sized car a short throw sander with a rougher sand paper to cut through paint a less rough sand paper to smoothen out and even the surface & a light sand paper to get the swirl marks would be my plan of action after that you can use a small 4 inch roller with an oil based car paint for $50-170 maybe $200 bucks if your on a budget💰 it can be done D.I.Y 🧑🏽‍🏭
