I have a P2 Model 1997 Zx7r 750cc Kawasaki Ninja Motorcycle. I want to put my helmet design onto surface of the fairings kit. What thin line masking tape am to use, and can I use packet size ground aluminum metal flakes poured into my paint mixed really well and then spray it out of my gravity feed spray gun ? I am using both a digital air regulator which needs to be calibrated. Purchased from harbor freight along with air line filter that way it can catch any water oil etc from line when in use...also purchased from harbor freight. And is the air regulator to be between the 25psi to 30psi range ? Or your saying set my regulator at either 25psi or at 30psi ?

@@ozimage There was no sarcasm in my comment. I sincerely was grateful for this video. And I still am. Today, I'm about to roll my truck out of my makeshift paint shop. Since the time of my comment, I've consulted with other paint/body professionals as needed for specific points of advice. Their information as been consistent: a good paint job is easily many months of hard work. Whether the work is done inside or outside, the general steps in this video are the same. The only thing different here is that the professional instructs you to spray more than is typically necessary, giving you the ability to remove more as needed to eliminate contamination during the sanding phases. He's also demonstrating how to do it from bare metal. My truck is an heirloom vehicle, my most prized possession handed down to me from my father. After its involvement in an accident last year, I wanted to restore it better than a typical collision repair shop. The only way to do that was to do it myself, and I knew I had my work cut out for me. My father raised me on values of hard work and integrity, so it was indeed my honor to apply all of that to the effort of restoring his truck. This video helped me to wrap my head around a job I'd never done before.

I love to see people take the time and use their craftsmanship in a way to achieve beyond believable results. I purchased my 2002 Ford F150 lightning with 4000 miles on it under the assumption that that he had never been wrecked before I was wrong, it was beat the pieces, including the roof that I found out many years down the road. . I would be honored to have someone like you finally fix it and take it back to the original shape. My health is dwindling fast and I’m gonna give it to my daughter because she loves anything low bad and fast and she spent 11 hours and 500 miles every other weekend in it back-and-forth to pick her up for 14 years in my truck. She loves it and she will be heartbroken to know that it has been wrecked and I spent all this you’re trying to take care of it as best as I could. Now at 280,000 of miles road rash from the interstate I went through and replaced everything moving underneath it as far as all the suspension wise goes but the paint is rough. I’m gonna try to repaint it and do the best I can by watching your videos over and over and over. It’s nice to see somebody take their time and do things the right way. That’s funny because that’s the email address I have is the right way 55. so wish me luck. Thanks again.

Painting a complete car in an atmosphere with dust, that requires sanding and polishing at every stage is little short of crazy, If you paint the main body panel by panel, just look at the time factor of masking the 10 or so areas twice. Then sanding without nicking the adjacent already painted panel. Bug footprints.!!!!!!!! What about when you go inside to clean up and return to find cat pawprints all over your work and the cat asleep on the middle of the newly painted panel. Suggestion. Stack the shelves at the supermarket for a month and use the money to pay a competent company who own a professional spray booth. A compressor alone will cost $500 minimum and having it anywhere near the job, it will blow clouds of dust all over your tack ragged panel the moment that the motor cuts in. Also. sanding dust on the masked areas of the car will blow everywhere once you start spraying.

This video inspired me to paint my truck. Now I had no garage to do this in, but I did have a carport. 4 poles holding up a roof so I thot what the heck. I taped up 3.5 mil plastic walls from the roof and anchored the bottoms down with semi heavy objects. Two days after I set paint booth lol, a storm come thru with strong winds but I was able to keep booth in tact that night and next day. But wind from the storm changed weather causing wind to blow 18 to 25 mph finally taking half my booth down. Long story short, im going on almost 2 months its taken me to paint my truck basicaly in the open, and one month of time out of that was dedicated to my home made paint booth lol. Its time to color sand it then buff it and see how it comes out. I THINK FOR WHAT ITS BEEN THRU, YOUR NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO TELL!

To all the people asking why do this at home instead of paying a professional, you basically get to say, yeah I did all of this myself. And then you can just keep doing it. Change the colors every other year. Eventually you’ll do great. It can be fun and it’s just a project. That’s all it is, doing it yourself is for people who are looking for a project, not looking to save money, just a fun project.

Love all these comments about how long this takes, too many steps, blah blah blah. This is what it takes to paint something the right way, and once you start getting higher end cars in your shop, this is how all of them are done at a high level. It does take a lot of work, a lot of consumables, a lot of time. But that's what a truly high quality paint job looks like. I think the point of this video was to show a high quality paint job being done at home, outside, etc. The supplies needed do cost money, but there is no way around that. Excellent video with just enough info, not over complicated, and it shows a great result. Thank you Eastwood

The other way is to work for yourself, even if you are doing it on the side, aside from the main job. If the side job turns out to be successful, as good as the main job or better, its time to consider quitting the main job and make body the switch to doing bodywork as primary work. For someone that works part time, both the main job and side job could be done. Make no mistake that body work pays well, if you got decent skills or better.
