@RebelDeuce you have the links to any of those videos? I used to love working with fiberglass. I started doing pool coatings in fiberglass in my early 20's then moved into a full ground up build of boats.

Me too I would also get up at midnight just to look one more time to make sure it was the way I wanted it to be. Damn I miss those days back in the sixties.

Unmasking and putting the chrome back on is magic time stage 2!!!

And how do you approach the job now?

My famous words to my boss all the time " Just put it together and put it out side. Trust me it will look good" I all ways try for no buffing and no re-doing.

I think it turned out awesome

I kept saying, NO... NOOO..... NOOOOOOO!

She should be usen wax & Grease remover.!! NOT Windex.!!!

Very disorganized!

You can't touch with dirty hands before paint..

😅🤣

Doesn't mean he's right.

Your exactly right, and none of those people offering "advice" would ever post up their work online for the world to see ... Chad's the man.

Just mostly suggestions. We all know Bad Chad does whatever he feels like doing, and thats why we're here

@@TroubadourJuggernaut i'll show my stuff any time some body wants to see it .... lol

@@oldwillie313 Doesn't mean he is wrong. If the end product looks good and has proven to stand the test of time then how is he wrong ?

@@matthewoneill3229 that paint was mixed 4:1:5, lol

Maybe i missed it. Dof you say what type of gun you use? Looks great! Appreciate how careful you are with prep. Thanks for sharing

What about the gaps, paint the between the doors , hood & tank lids separately !!!??? Lot work preparing vehicles painting job making sure no runs in the primer or painting job

Make sure dust in the paint or on the vehicle you are painting

White paint hides any thing missed

Wouldn't be easier paint the inner liners gaps & between the frames

Climate effect the paint ;?

You have a long wait, the Bugatti will never be finished!

@@neilmyhill8975 Oh wow. Sad to be negative.

@@neilmyhill8975 who are you to say that it's finished when the owner/Builder says it is

His hands a most likely dried out from cleaning with thinners. Plus you would of heard a lot of cuss words on that first coat (fisheyes). Looks good to me.

@@mikemetcalfe1526 finger prints will show up long after during the breathing phase. Could take a week or two before those tiny bubbles escape. Really depends on the level of finish you’re looking for. If I’m painting a 15k paint job, my bare hands never touch those panels. That customer has paid for perfection. Although I’ve seen masters like gene Winfield touch panels all day long as well. Everyone has their ways. Try to prevent problems and cut down on variables is just logical.

@@michaelharris8354 but first his fingers would need to contaminate the substrate and thats only done with other oils getting on his hands or natural oils in the hands. I think this is unlikely for Chad because his hands are so dried out from thinners and grease and wax remover, plus his hands are overly calloused to produce a amount of natural oils to create a paint contaminates

@@mikemetcalfe1526 I hear ya. I do this for a living and my hands are maybe not as bad as his, but they’re getting there. From my most recent experience of painting my own personal vehicle, I had two small spots appear where I clearly know it was from touching my car. Showed up about a week later. It just sucks. It’s not for a lack of carefully wiping and tacking before paint either. It doesn’t matter. Regardless of how much prep and caution is used in a paint job, there’s always something. I just do my best to eliminate as many variables as possible. I do enjoy Chad’s style. It’s very much his own, and I’m always curious about unorthodox techniques or old school advanatages. I learned al my body work and such in old school methods and cherry pick techniques that are advantageous or allow me to perform better with less work hours and $$$$

@@michaelharris8354 I try to eliminate all possible problems too. Always wearing gloves, don't go backwards when sanding, follow all product manufacturers prepping and paint techniques and treat and make your paint booth and vehicle like a surgical operating room. "To do a perfect job everything has to be done perfect". There is a reason why they are called old school ways

Love the positive and helpful comment.

Helps keep dust down if you wet the floor during final prep and paint.

Do you spray the Dawn using your paint gun?

@@LTVoyager Yes

@@trikerflash Diluted or straight from the bottle?

He makes it look so easy.

Just like preparing a Christmas meal for the entire family with all the fixings. Planning, shopping,prep for cooking, cooking. And in about a half an hour to 45 minutes it’s all over time to put leftovers away, and clean up.
