Best "How to" on You Tube. I keep looking for more from you. Best instruction I have seen. Wish we could see it go all the way through base coat, color sand, clear coat ,etc. I would also like to see how you have set up the shop. There are many tricks to the trade to keep areas clean, organized, air dry and sediment free, etc. Share all you can. Subscribed and waiting for more.

in case you people dont know... this is how you get that arrow straight look.... even if you can get withing 90% the car will still look perfect..... man, good video

Great instructional video. I am currently working on my own 67 Mustang and this video answers a lot of my questions and have given me a lot of confidence that I can do it right. Thanks!

Dang Rich! Mustangs to Fear needs their own special on TV! You're an awesome how-to guy!!!

When I watch your videos they make me very happy

Dry sanding primer works so much better if you cut on the forward stroke and lift slightly on the back stroke. This pushes the sanding dust away from the block rather than pushing it back and forth under the block.

And that my friends is why we charge as much as we do for making your car perfect so don't complain about the price until you know what we body men go through to make your car beautiful for you LOL

best how to block video on you tube. keep them coming

ahhh memories. i go up to a shop my grandfather works at and they do mostly mustangs. he has one there that worth over 1/2 a mil. its number 7 out of 10. it was a dealer order only. nice nice nice

really good video! lots of insight on what to look out for in detail

OMG the first real bodywork video.....thanks.. im going to be making a bodywork video and im happy to see 1 good video...

Great video man! Thanks for posting it.

@WickedCustomz That was our prep room where we do the spray in bed liners, the floor and walls have to be covered to keep everything clean. Normally we don't prime on a tarp. Rich.

Once you have it to bare metal, you can apply your bodyfiller.Some people will do a coat of Epoxy primer first and apply there bodyfiller on top of that. If you ask any bodyfiller manufacturer they will recommend applying the filler over roughed up bare metal. You can take it to bare metal several ways. Air craft or Zip strip are one way depending on how many layers you have. Or you could knock it down with a DA and 80 grit.When we do a whole car we have it media blasted.

Yes it does, you can sand the low spot out with 180 grit or 80 grit and put a skim coat of filler over it.

Question on the dry guide coat...After blocking, if low spots are still visible and require another coat or two of surfacing primer (or even a skim coat of filler) does the dry guide coat have to be cleaned out of the low spots or will it accept filler/primer with no problem right on top of it?

Ok well what do you think would be equivalant to that? Im trying to do this my first time. Should I just lay a etching primer on the bare metal spots and then then filler primer on everything else then block sand with a guide coat? then follow with epoxy primer and a basecoat? I should mention im doing this with spray cans except for BC and CC. Thanks!!

.250 inch Plexiglas or acrylic works good for making sanding blocks. Make them to fit the car or panel you are working on. Bevel the edges about .020 and sand diagonally so you don't cut tracks with the edges. Use 3M Photo mount spray adhesive to make your own sticky sandpaper if you want to use Wetordry and water.

Great video... very detailed!!!!!! Thanks!!

Nice vid. So what's first step after getting pannel to bare metal. Do u primer then block/add filler where needed and how can u safley take it to metal without warping pannels? Thnx!

very nice video, i was wondering how you like that sanding block your using there? Thats the one with the metal rods that go through it rite?

great sanding tips

so if you paint a door, you do body work like dents and bondo first, then put expoxy primer on 5 times to build it up, then block sand and guide coat to smooth it, then a second time to recheck, then a third time as a final primer sealer?

what kind of primer did you use? Like a filler primer? sandable primer?

What filler do you use for the skim coat?

Ok, got it. Thanks. Informative video by the way.

Currently I'm using NCP 271 by PPG. It's a high build and a direct to metal primer.

if you would need a skim coat of filler would you grind off the paint or put it over that primer?

Yes, they have the rods but you can get ones from Harbor Freight a lot less without the rods.

is it good to put on a body filler three coats and is it all good too used 2k body filler I'm hearing there is a new primer out not sure what it's called yet, or should I just use epoxy primer

You can put the bodyfiller over bare metal, or you can lay down a couple coats of PPG Epoxy primer first.

most all high build primers are around 2.5 except U-Pol which is around 4 to 4.5, any good name brand primer will work.

Yes, you fill all your dents first, them give it 5 coats of primer. Block sand and prime again.

All that sanding sure built your arms up.

Tell me about, they were 11 inches around before I started LOL.

Put a small skim coat of fill and block it out, then prime it.

we prime each panel 3 times, on the final prime then I will wet sand with 400 then 600 before I paint. Rich.

You can use Evercoat easy sand Part # 100 420 works well.

Is it body filler all over the door?! Or what are you sanding?

Don't forget you have to block 90% of the primer off LOL.

Etch primer and Epoxy aren't compatible with each other. I would use PPG's Epoxy primer first, then do your body work and prime with the PPG 271 primer. In order to get a good job you need to get away from the rattle cans.

From Eastwood .com, they have several different sizes.

How would you build that line back straight if you have to use bondo?

The same way with masking tape.

Great video. Is there anyway you can make a video on sanding bondo? From da to block sanding. Showing when to stop sanding and apply more bondo.

You don't think Michele put to much makeup on me do you? lol. Rich.

The buffing might be a little harder, I'm afraid the camera person is going to get splattered with compound LOL.

We completely media blast the panels down to bare steel.

And your question is ?

@WickedCustomz

Hi lot of fine details :-) it is scarring to see that you in 2013 not are taking care of your health, the dust is no good for you. and when there is an dust free solutions whit Mirka Abranet sanding system, no dust in the paper as well and it is also possible too sand whit finer gritt, here in Norway we have bin using this fore 14 years and USA send people up too the moon in the 60 and still sanding whit dust all over the bodyshop welcome after :-)
