I love watching the pro work.

Another thing you can do is shove newspaper into the hole and then just put bondo over the top.

Good lord, I'd of never thought 🤔 of using mineral spirits brushed over my new seam sealer. I'd been convinced it would chemically wreaked the sealer itself!!!! I have struggled mightily, trying and failing, to get it look good, when finished... I've got some last minute metalwork to do mounting much newer mustang seats in 65 Fastback, and I'm giving this a try..

Great video Jerry I have used rubbing alcohol to smooth it out

I bet bakers would be really good at this. I'm not

Why not use “ brush on seam sealer “ ?

Hi Jerry, great video. So with what you have on the video are you just going to spray 2k primer, then sand, then paint? Or can one spray epoxy primer/ sealer and spray paint over that without sanding it? What kind of paint are you going to use just single stage? Have a wonderful weekend Jerry!

nice, thanks Jerry!

awesome tip....thanks.

Cool im about to redo my trunk thanks for the tip

Absolutely.... I've used that same sealer a couple times and I really like it.

Thank you 😊

Great tip.

nice, drink 3ferme

ah mineral spirits is turps.. at work we use sikaflex sealer and use panel wipe to do the same job. looks good!

My boyfriend tried to seduce me with a candlelit dinner. It was romantic until the dog knocked over the table and ate our dessert. Dinner and a show, I guess💚

It looks amazing 😮

Nice explanation, thanks 👍

Super simple to use if you want to stop every second and shake the thing to lossesn the media

Awesome video!!! You make it look so easy. I have a 1972 K5 Blazer that the tin worm has invaded. I’m going to try the cloth on some of the spots. Thanks for this video!!!

Thanks for the video💯👍

If you cant do it right dont do it

Thanks that helps

Does penetration have to come past the backside of the metal completely or can it be leveled with the backside? A lot of videos I’ve watched say it should look the same on the backside as the top but I can’t get that. I can only get completely flush

I paint guitars, frequently with automotive paints. I recently ran out of primer and picked up a can of Transtar 2-in-1, which I later found out is lacquer-based. Transtar says this is compatible with nearly all automotive paints, including urethanes. I was always taught not to put urethane over lacquer, as lacquer is a drying finish and not a curing finish. Over time, the lacquer will continue to gas off and you run the risk of trapping that gas beneath the urethane, which can result in the finish lifting or cracking. Is that not an issue with automotive lacquer primers? I have to assume most people who would be painting a car would be using modern urethanes for base and clear? Thanks.

Excellent video Jerry. Some great tips from a pro who knows what he's doing! Thank you so much.

Is the door panel scuffed i see you started on the wheel well area but are you moving up painting the whole door? Thats exactly what I need to do. Thanks

Can you estimate the cost for chevy cruze 2014 rocket replacement? I just hit a fking curb 15mins ago :(

About Ford's aluminum body's they will corroded from road salt

Thanks that helps yes some sites make it complicated I like your videos well done.

Is there a an overlap while painting 50% or 75%? thanks

Great video I've been trying to lay down silver metallic this sure helps,

Shouldn't you load the backside up with a rust inhibitor?

What grit did you use to sand the rest of the bumper before priming etc? 180-220?

By the time you've gone to all that effort lining the clamps up it would surely be easier just to butt weld it? There's no real panel penetration there plus you run the risk of untreated metal and moisture rotting from the inside. I'm no welder by trade but I don't think this Is a good method. Please advise if not.

Hello can you do me a favor and see if you can reply to this comment the tube is acting very weird lately. Thank you much.

Thanks for these "insider" tips. We appreciate it!

Thank you so much for the great video! Easily earned a new subscriber! I’m about to order a hammer and dolly set to do some work on an old truck I got, are there any brands that you would recommend? Or does that exactly matter when it comes to these tools?

In the industry guys like this are called butchers!

Yes thanks

My spray paint says 10 to 15 minute flash time, is the dusting within a few minutes before the last coat dries?

How long did you allow the epoxy primer to dry? I wonder if the results would change if you extended the drying time of the epoxy. Just a thought. This was very helpful.

Thanks for showing the prosses. What does something like that cost

OK. bought the gauge. i did the castor check and it shows on left front 0.4 degrees arrow pointing in (negative?) and on the right side it says 0.5 degrees with the arrow pointing out (positive?). How much trouble am I in?

There is a very comprehensive video on KZfaq from a channel called "repair geek" titled, "If you think por15 is good paint, watch this." I highly recommend watching this video b4 anyone decides on any paint product. The thumbnail says,"Friends don't let friends use por15." I am a former body man. I have used gallons of por15, rustoleum, and most of the popular and professional products on the market today. Nothing i have ever used compares to mastercoat. It has been used for years on bridges and train cars. It's a 2 part system. Basecoat/primer, which makes your metal airtight so it can't rust. Then, the topcoat called AG111, which is impervious to all automotive fluids, including brake fluid, and it did not break down when submerged in acetone for 90 days. Thats why they use it on train cars because they clean graffiti off with acetone. There is another industry standard test called the salt fog chamber test where they paint metal with a product, then put a score through the product down to bare metal. Then, put that into a salt fog chamber and log the hours for the product to fail. In por 15's own salt fog test and listed on their website, por15 lasted 1000 hours in the test and had severe rust undercutting the product in the score down to bare metal area. Mastercoat lasted 14,000 hours with no damage and no rust undercutting the score down to bare metal. That is why they use it on bridges. The owner of mastercoat, "Pat" was one of the original creators of por15 but left to make his own product called mastercoat, the master series. The biggest problem with mastercoat was that since the repair geek video, Pat can't keep it in stock. But it seems like he has finally increased production enough that the full line of products is in stock now. Also, it's cheaper than por15 and requires much less critical surface prep. Back in 2019 i started getting ready to restore my 97f250hd. I started to por15 several new rear suspension parts. Leaf springs, axle, diff cover, axle plates and blocks etc. Then, in 2020, i found mastercoat and started painting the new front suspension parts. In the fall of 2020, i mastercoated my frame and installed all my previously painted suspension, axles, and steering components. After almost 4 years of new york winters, the mastercoat looks fresh like i just painted it. The por15 parts look like garbage and i top coatedthe por15 with por15 topcoat. My rear diff cover (por15) has almost no paint left on it and is rusting horribly. The rear diff cover bolts tore off the por15 on installation. The front diff cover(mastercoat) looks brand new and the bolts didn't tear off the mastercoat. Both differential covers were brand new and unused b4 i painted them. Some smart ford guy is going to say there is no front differential cover on a dana 50 twin traction beam axle. I swapped it out for a dana 60 straight axle.

Thanks for making welding look Easy.

Nice vid Jerry... In a case like that, you decided to spot weld only; what made you decide it this way? I would be tempted to weld & seal the piece all around. I guess it is not necessary, hence my question... Like the bottom lip of a rocker which is usually just spot welded. I am a bit puzzled; when should I seal weld and when should I only spot weld? Thanks!

You’re making good progress Jerry but I know you’re thinking there’s no end in sight. Keep at it. Have a good weekend

I’m guessing you don’t have to worry about the drop coat the end dry spraying cuz of the slow reducer? I’m gonna be painting my mustang single stage glow gold hopefully by next spring

You need to explain how to use Boost Mode for dead batteries.
