I'm no painter but I would certainly go this route! Couple of years ago I was at a local car show talking to a man about his 68 fairlane ranchero. When I pressed him about who did the paint job he stated he did the body and knock down work then took it to Maco. I started chuckling then he stopped me and said "That's all those guys do is paint." He also done a walk around with them to look for imperfections and for a little more they corrected them. All in all he said he walked out of there under a $1,000.00 lighter in the wallet. It was a good looking paint job.

This is awesome! Thanks for always looking out for us “driveway” guys!

Great idea. Not having an indoor space to spray is a huge disadvantage for the DIY'er. Every medium size town has a budget paint shop that is very good at laying down finish coats. This will save folks a lot of dough. Good work.

Lol... I was a teenager in 1969. My neighbor across the street was a grand old guy who drove a new looking 1948 Chrysler sedan. He bought it new and drove it daily. The paint was black, and very thick. He told me he used to work for Duesenberg, the premier American car mfg in the 1920's and 30's. He told he had been an assembly line painter. I asked how they spray painted these magnificent hand built cars with such thick coats of paint? He laughed and said they used paint brushes and hand painted each car. I was dumbfounded. He said you either got good at it or you lost your job. It made sense, when they hand brushed heavy coats of paint, then hand sanded to a perfect finish. I am now a paint coatings formulation chemist!

This has been around for a while since the 90’s but now it’s much better, higher resin content and adhesion. Save a lot of time even in a professional shop like mine no need to fight for booth space

This is a well-presented, well-organized video for the novice doing work in their garage or driveway. Thanks!

Hey, this bound to work.I had an old international pickup while I lived in Indiana back in the late 1970s.I roller painted it. Great stuff, but I used a longer nap roller and should have used a short nap.But, hey that truck gave up rusting.I really think the advances in painting are really great.It still think it takes a skilled hand for a top notch paint job.Great vlog, thanks for sharing.

I would quit my job right now and work for free to learn how to paint from this guy

Just bought this system to start panel projects on my 66 Ford Galaxie in need of some love. We live in Ontario CA and we are working outside in the driveway during summer. Starting up tomorrow at 4am to beat the heat. Looking forward to giving my car the layer of protection in needs.

this can and will make the job of home bodywork/painting so much easier!! I love the benefits of an epoxy primer and being able to roll on coats makes it even better.

I would've loved to have had this when I was restoring my VW. The amount of work necessary to mask a car and prep a garage for spray-primering was 9/10's of the work. Next time I will definitely try this system. Thanks for sharing this us! Subscribed and cheers!

Great for the DIY guys without a big compressor and no overspray to worry about. This is a great product for those large, mostly flat panels you want to block straight. Great video and DIY product.

Great video. I have used much the same method for many years on motorcycles and cars. This is one of the things I learned from my Dad. We also completed the Lacquer finish with the same method.
