Thank you much for the instruction.
I’m currently patching up some peeling on my ’92 Miata. Once I finish
school and become a full time mechanic I will be painting the whole car a
matte finish.
Any suggestions/tips/do&dont’s for using matte finished colors?
Might as well just sand the whole damn hood down to the bare metal instead
of messing with leaving some of the old shit there to peel or fail later.
You already have almost 1/4 of the hood already down to metal anyway.
Just started a program to be a bodyshop worker. We always start with 120
paper, now i wonder why you start with 80? is’nt the grains to big? (sorry
for the bad english)
Yes you could go that far if you wanted, but in this case you would be
wasting your time and money doing so. This isn’t a restoration it’s just a
fix up job that will last many many years if done properly!
@daveelsberry when the clear is peeling this bad, you need to sand till
it’s all gone, taking it down to metal is part of it, if thats what it
takes.. On most older cars like this you usuallly have to go as far as bare
metal to repair it properly.. Pete
There are now products like aircraft remover that are enviorment safe, and
I would suggest to use those over airplane stripper. Visit your local paint
and body shop supply store to find out more. Pete
I’d just like to say thanks so much for taking time to make these
videos,after an 8 year absence im re-starting to paint again because of
you, Thanks you all the way from Brownsville,TX Erik
i know this is a little off topic but you do great work from what i can
see, which is better sand blasting or soda blasting, or dustless blasting
to remove paint and small amounts of rust.

Thank-you…
this guy is a classic, allways gets me laughing , like his style
And I wear a professional dust mask all the time, it’s kind of hard to talk
when your making an instructional video with a dust mask on!
That makes sense. A lot of diy-ers skip the safety gear, which is why I
remarked. Great video, btw!
Pete, you’re the man! Thanks a lot for your cool vids!
Thanks for the shows and you telling us we can do this .I started on my car
this week .It is hard work but I like it

I Didn’t know Tommy Lee Jones did DIY Bodywork…
make sure you apply atleast 2 full wet coats possibly 3, and you will be
fine. Take it easy Pete
@srissy007 sounds like a guitar song,, hummmmm, Ill have to check it out.
My favorite stuff going on right here Pete. I just got a DA sander to start
working on my truck’s body. This series will help out tremendously.
@TorqueRider2000 I didn’t look, but I believe so.
شكرًا لك الله يعطيك العافيه
