here’s the final finish of the black truck. i’m surprised it turned out pretty decent.:stoned :whistle:
here’s the before and after buff pics.
now i dissapointed.:blush:
are you sure it looks like a lexus 450.;)
dude i’m trying to up your rep. from low end hack to upper class hack.:stoned :rofl :p
thta’s ok. you rocked on the job. love your photo skills.:rocki’m surprised someone would let him paint a lexus.lol
i got a feelin his daughter is doin all the paintin, and he’s takein credit.that’s the thing. most of the insurance comp. sit at our shop and write their own estimates, with the expection of nationwide and statefarm. one of office guys worked for nationwide a few years ago. so i’m sure he knows the in’s and out. but i’ll mention to about the black box.
hell we even had some adjusters tell us where to get the parts from. like the keystone remans. statefarm tells us to order it. seein how they want to us am parts but can’t.do you think we should tell the new norton yellow tape is half the price of the 3m?
[quote=”ding” post=14780]Damn I’m impressed. Didnt Know you knew how to take out taillights and door handles :rofl :rofl :rofl
But dont tell me you still painted the cover on the shop floor :blink:
Even used that blue tape on the back window molding :clappy :clappy :clappy[/quote]naw, he has his bro inlaw do all the crap work.:whistle:i will have to mention this to the office help. we have to put on what ever the insurance comp. tells us to put on. i have noticed lately that state farm is useing a lot of keystone remans.
was it a tang yang cover? lol.
after working on this beast. and lord knows that the owner are aware that it will be only so striagth. and thery fine with that.
i now remember why, i decided to strictly paint instead of doing body work.
but for some strange reason i enjoy the challange. and the smell of bondo.i found out years ago. that we went through on the am primer, and when we washed it, all the primer started to come off. so we don’t wash them any more. straight prep sol, then paint.
i agree the remans are rough, it takes quite a few sheets of 400 to cut.i hate the keystone covers. they always come damaged. i hate their remans even worse. but never had a problem with the primer poping off. i use a red carbo scotch pad, scuff real good and go at it. now that we’re on water, i put sealer on first.
i have notice that the primers seem to be different for their am covers, and their remans are real thick. i use 400 on a da then scuff, on the remans.i was just watching your video. i realized where i went wrong. i used and air striaght board instead of the air hog.:P
honestly, i wish i had thought of useing it now. it would have gotten done a lot quicker, that first coat of mud was bono=glass, damn hog would of made quick work of it.:kofeeshow off.
btw. it’s not going to be as straight as it needs to be. i couldn’t find a video by bodo on that diy.
