Best paint tutorial on KZfaq. Whilst I have sprayed a few cars as a diy'er over the years, I learnt so much from this little series.

What a perfect job, it´s your know how you bring into this and makes it so good !

Great series. Watched it a few times now. Going to use this as my "school" before painting my restoration project.

Mate, you have a great knack for explaining the process. Thanks for sharing your skills!

What a cracking job , I learnt a lot from the mini series - my favourite videos so far! Love this mini!

Beautiful job thank you for showing us after the polishing what the car looks like.

Awesome finish Tony. It has been great watching this series and well worth getting up early to watch the video.

Fantastic work Tony, the great prep work really shows through. That blue looks just like my 1990 MX-5 Mariner Blue. Such a nice blue.

Super finish. Absolutely beautiful.

Brilliant series of videos, really enjoyed following the progress on this and superbly explained thought the process. Mini looks top notch 👌

Dude this is fantastic!! Not that I expected anything else as the whole build has been brilliant! Cant wait for the next build!!!!

Now that’s one beautifully finished Mini. Awesome job.

Good job, thanks for uploading this video.

Turning out another quality job Tony, another happy customer no doubt, cracking paint job 👍🏻

Fantastic job, actually never realised what was involved, really enjoyed watching this, but I'm not quite sure why

lovely series this one. thank you.

Tony your off the gun finish is spot on and after the polish omg perfection

That's very nice been good watching it take shape

Excellent work👍👍

Great job Tony well worth waching this project I really injoyed the videos stay safe Tony

Beautiful job tony as always, was only the other day I was watching your video shooting that other mini with the w400. I love the g3 system too, wool head takes a lot of time out of the job. Look forward to the next one 🤙

Really, really awesome finish. Looks so fu... great😍

Another cracking vid mate good job as always

Absolutely loved this episode. Great instruction and technique. I have a lot of restoration-level detailing experience, and wanted to offer one thing. Being how far you visually took the car on the final step, consider trying some of the latest compounds and polishes. Clearly nothing wrong with what you used (and if you’re buying wholesale I understand). But I’ve flattened and polished a ton of panels using very modern products and have seen a huge difference with everything from cycle time on pads to even the final gloss level. While the per-oz price and availability in the UK might not be what it is for me in the US, I wanted to list a few to consider trying on your most special projects. And I’m not being a shill in any way: Lake Country and Griot’s IMO make incredibly-good pads. For rotary use consider the LC wool pad as it can have you bypassing the entire 3k-grit pad process. If your 2k sanding is dull, the above pad (and a particular compound I’ll share) can eliminate the 3k stage. For that first compounding/rotary stage, my favorite product is the Turtle Wax one-and-done compound. 3D ACA500 is another, but the TW product cuts just as well and is a bit cheaper. Both compounds never dust or dry-out. Long cycle time. Griot’s fast correction cream is another amazing product, but won’t cut well under 1,500 marks. Meguire’s M110 pro speed compound is another fantastic first-stage compound for wool, but does dust a lot. If you don’t care about the cleanup, consider this one as it is the cheapest of the bunch. Great pre-polish gloss levels. What I like doing as another step to getting panels super-flat actually adds a step in place of taking that 3k sanding step out: DA polishing with a microfiber pad and any above-named compound. Good amount of pressure and moderate speed really tightens-up the clarity. Meguire’s MF pads are available, affordable and work well, but LC/Griots are premium. If you really want to try something new and interesting, use a DA with the Lake Country purple wool/foam hybrid pad. It lays very low and opens wide, cutting so fast yet leaving an amazing finish. I’ve never used a pad that provided me more technique options; you can use coarse and fine compounds and make your speed and pressure the deciding factor on final results. It’s neat, but you probably don’t have the time to explore that. Lastly, my very favorite product as a final step polish is using Griot’s perfection cream with their own yellow pad on a DA. I cannot describe just how fine and enjoyable this polish is. It’s like 8k-grit sanding with zero haze. Even smells amazing. So while most of these pads and bottles are about $20/ea, I’d ask you to dabble into them when you’re looking to mix things up. They’re all very refined, effective, and take a great-looking project car into show-car territory without changing all the good work you’re doing. Take care, and thanks for all you’ve shared with us.

Great series, really enjoyed it 👍

Excellent work, I'm certain owner will be more than happy with finished job 👍👍

Thanks for the video Tony very interesting.

Another mint job Tony great informative video's

great job

Fantastic job, I have recently subscribed and working my way through your play lists and gaining so much knowledge so a massive thank you. I have just done the final prep on my mini ready for direct gloss and exactly as you have are doing the outer shell and the panels in and out , I know you did this mini a while ago but how much gloss did you use for the whole project? Thanks again for a fantastic channel👍😁

Fantastic video series Tony. This trade/business can be sometimes pain in the ass but it is one of few professions you can look back and see your work and say this was done by me.

Excellent job Tony

Thanks for explaining about the 'peel'

Love this man!!

that was perfect . I liked

Lovely job Tony, Mini’s are fiddle little buggers to prep and finish lots of sharp bits.💪💪💪

Looks great😍😍😍

Excellent work

Fantastic Tony 👏👏👏

great work

Fantastic job mate.. Well done. Brilliant vids as always. Top Job. :-)

Excellent work, have to do the same myself in the not to distant future 👍

Good video Tony and a great way to finish what has been a fantastic series on the Mini which has turned out great and is probably the best looking Mini around. Good live chat last night mate and you seemed to have a good turn out again 👏👍

Join. Nice video Tony ,looks awesome👌🏻

Very nice. Looks beautiful now, would love to see the whole car when it’s back on the road. Maybe the owner can come back and visit you for a final video on the finished project.

Love this video, question do you hit the panel with p2000 then 3k foam sanding disk, rotary wool pad and cutting compound, then I definitely swap over to my dual action to get rid of swirls from rotary, do I then use a cutting foam pad with the same cutting compound then light foam and polishing compound or skip doing the third use a light foam and polish? I know you could use a cutting foam and cut to finish but isn’t a polish for the last step recommended? Let me know thanks guys !

What a fantastic job you made of that car thanks for including the polishing stage. Would you recommend a wax polish as a final stage or maybe later when the car is cleaned for the first time.

Really enjoyed this series of videos. Bet the owner is well chuffed Tony.

Can you post a picture of it with all the plastic arches back on and complete? Looks awesome! Loved the series

Top work!! Quick question, how soon after spraying should you flat and polish is there any rule of thumb?

Nice job Tony well done and explained is this the same for base and clear coat

Thanks for the video! Just what I needed! Just one question. How long would you leave your paint to dry before thinking about polishing

Fantastic work. Absolutely brilliant. Hope you will do a classic Mercedes or BMW soon. Thank you

That's a lovely job all your very hard work has paid off ?? 👏

Great videos! I want to do a color change on my '74 Mini and a repaint on my '97 Ford F350 crew cab dually. Your videos are spreading some good knowledge.

Another great series Tony, really enjoyed this one. The end result was just amazing as always.... 👌 Just out of interest why did you use the Wool polishing head rather than the something like the bigfoot pads you often use.

Hi mate, very good job and beautiful finish🎉 how much do u charge for that job

Champion.

Quality 👍

How long would i need to leave the paint before cutting and polishing if i was doing it diy and just air drying mate

Gud vid 👍

Great finish :) whats the reason you don´t use a 1200 or 1500 for the DA ? you could be a lot faster than sanding with 2000 by hand?

Sports pack arches going back on tony ? Absolutely mint finish btw great to see

Hi Tony Have you tried the Mirka Abralon 3000 foam backed pads? Think they are brill.

Anyone know what kind of rims those are?

What do you a water? For sanding

Looks anazing

You have OCD? I never would have guessed. ;) Stunning job as usual. I've seen you do several classic cars now and I know you put 110% into every job but would you say that maybe you put just a WEE bit more into a classic?

quick questionTony. how long would you leave the paint before sanding down for polishing. if painting on a Monday afternoon using fast hardener say and no baking in a oven, just left to air dry over night basically would 2k gloss be hard enough to flat down the next day for polishing it would it need to be left into the second day to dry properly. thanks

Tony it these 6 inc wool pads I am talking about on u polishein the mini mate

Hi mate u ok what is this Pad you used in the politrix? what brand and model please 🔝 y job 🤙

Hi I noticed you but body filler in some areas directly on to bear metal prior to epoxy primer as apposed to filler after epoxy primer is there a reason why you do this I am restoring a number of classic Mini doing all the metal work myself put sending out the paint work but want to try the prepped and painting myself so you’re videos are really helpful thanks Kind regards Murdo

v nice :)

Hi Tony, where did you get that wool head from please?

Hello do you the this color code? Thank you

Only thing is I think everyone who followed this job would love to see it finished as far as the build up is concerned. Any chance of getting the owner to shoot a video of it completed and you post it?

I just painted my car with 2pak. I can sand or cut it until its flat , but it refuses to polish up. Im using polishing compound but it wont mirror finish. Stays dull. 🤔

Hiya Tony. Where's best to but those SIA pads ?? Cheers mate

I'm painting some wheels in 2k single stage ( black) , would I need to flat a polish it like this? I wss hoping to get its glossy right out the gun , thst blue looks really glossy

Generally question, how to paint small areas? Like smaller than a can of coke? Just having trouble with mixing the amount of paint needed… seems a waste mixing around 100ml for a few passes

so this is,how you get a glossy finish without using clear coat i took boot lid from old 80s car has no clear coat from factory so i wanted boot resprayed same way direct gloss machine buffed no clear garage look at me like im nuts?

Proper job looks the bollox

Hi Tony, an unrelated question this …. If you had a second hand wing with good paint but wrong colour(black)could you scuff and re- paint(Spirit Blue)without the original colour having any effect on the new colour like bleeding through ? ….. Cheers bud

Brill series mate really enjoyed , What sort of price would you charge for a full in and out spray job to same sort of quality as this please

Show car finish bud show car thought the McLaren and the Mazda would take some beating but this one top notch !! New gun new paint it looks smokin 😃😃😃

How do you get rid of super fine micro scratches? These are only visible under bright strip led light. Annoying as my car has not long come back from painting....single stage paint? Great work btw...subscribed. 👍

Hi do you run into issues with pigtails when trizact? I usually use 1500 on DA, 3000 trizact on DA then G360 polish with woolhead. Recently have run into pigtails that take around 4-5 full passes to get out. any tips? I blow out all the dust from the 1500 stage aswell which does help but not fully. Thanks

😍😍😍😍😍
