Im getting ready to paint a truck tomorrow. Ive got done steps 1-3, now to just find a professional painter and a professional paint booth to complete step 4. Thanks guys!!! This was super helpful for us DIY guys

Guys in the comments are brutal. I learned the basic steps from this video and also what products to use and the sequence of application. Im a heavy equipment operator just trying to learn how to get it done to flip some cars on the side. With that being said, thank you!

It really is this easy it’s the prep that’s the real work

[mcraceworks]

Lots of good info. Thank you for helping out the garage painters

I save guitar strings for removal of glued items even glass. High e and b strings are smooth, the other strings have ridges that help cut but may be too thick for some applications.

[paulezay]

Clear guitar string is best to use to remove labels and weather stripping. Guitar string is way more stronger than fishing line.

Awesome video. When my car is ready, I'll be checking out several of these videos. Thanks for sharing.

[cultusgti]

Considering the spec called for it's a nice job

[LC-gouh]

Wow, Ray really knows his stuff! He made it happen. You should've had that pro do the whole thing.

[mesprojects]

Great stuff, I’ll probably be trying out that roll on primer given the convenience factor. Wanted to mention for removing stubborn trim and emblems a heat gun makes easier work of it.

[goldrr]

ironic seeing this given I have a 92 lx droptop I need to repaint. Salute to you guys!

[xyndijade]

So, I'm actually a diesel mechanic by trade but getting into full restorations! Just wanted to say thanks for all your videos! Perfect for a beginner

[coldchickenwings]

Love you stuff Eastwood. Thank you for sharing your knowlage in this video.

[latvius]

Thanks for showing this! I may give that roll on primer a try!

[rcknry]

That roll on primer is super cool. Any chance a roll on base and clear system will ever be available?

[CyrusZayzay]

That's a very good job well done. I am a body painter but my question is why when spring a car paint can always world down?

[ms_zaku.]

💛Thank you.​This​ Very​ nice​ paint.👍😀👍

[chrisgarvey]

What do you use to grind off the paint and rust? I see that it is an air-tool, but what is the disk composed of? What grit composition?

[scottmoto]

Cool vid. Not Ford's best Mustang design, but it is what it is. I absolutely would have taken the trunk cargo strips off and left any body molding off and filled the holes. This car could have been turned into a nice muscle car, which all Mustangs should be.
