But you wear a mask or you have an early death will ... ? Poor anything around there being covered in paint particles from a random dude. At least build a temporary plastic sheet shelter.

Well done Mark came out great I love it

Turned out really good Mark, love it. Great job👍👍

That looks great love it 👍👍

Great job, great show👍

Awesome work.. Something like this is on my "to-do" list

Good job surprising what you can do in a few day 👍

Well done Mark looks mint I dig it 👌

That turned out killa mate love ur work

Actually turned out pretty good!

Looks so good mark, and result is brilliant in my mind. (Don't forget the bumper when time permits) top notch 🎉

Hey mark awesome video mate great content and turned out great top job mark 👌✔️👍

Well done mark

Awesome. This kind of finish really can be achieved at home .

Rate it !! Another 1 g2g for many more years .. very creative use of coffee grounds too lol

I gotta admit, I was hesitant in how this would look, but Im actually surprised at the finished product. Great job Mark.

Looks like one of my usual quality resprays😁

That ZK looks like one of the better ones left in circulation. I would have personally went with the budget clear over Sovereign. I think you would have been surprised how presentable it would have turned out, but i understand mate, its all about the content!

This has nothing to do with content and everything too do with wavy panels, bad previous repairs and no time for correct prep work.

Looks great, Mark. I did notice that this car was fitted with a Philips Premium Sound System 😮

Looks great mark, most people sand back through layers of paint to gain a patina look , and you can tell its not natural and they usually go over board , the look you got looks natural well done

Yeah, with this one the main goal was to preserve the car. Saving it from deteriorating further so at some stage in the future it can be restored

Hey! Mark another gr8 ep, (gee! you beat your self up a bit) car looked gr8 with new gold spray, I would have been happy with that, but coffee grinds???, legendary. WOW! hat's off gr8 patina BEN's gotta be happy with the result. GREAT job, fantastic p.s. 1st patina??? like to see you do more CHEERS keep at it

I actually like it. Well done. Do you sand the “graphics” back before laying down the clear or leave it with the rough texture, and if so can you feel it through the clear ?

@TheIronEmpire

4 ай бұрын

Usually sanding the graphics would add a more weathered look, but rubbing any sort of metallic base coat before the clear goes down is a bad idea, it’s always visible in the metallic.. kinda hard to explain. But in this case we wanted to protect the body as much as possible

I was going to suggest stain clear but the gloss looks great Did someone forget the bit at the front under the grill 😊

Nice work on the effect, but I'm like you, not a fan of this finish, it belongs on 40s 50s maybe 60s cars. Not an 80s car thing. But you did a sweet job on it

Bro you have the sickest car's..Ford all day..

Sorry Mark I am not a patina fan either real or manufactured 😀 appreciate the effort you put into it but I think it would’ve been better spent just spending a bit more time and doing it one colour. Would’ve turned out brilliant 😀 but as always not my car so all the best 👍

I thought no at the beginning, you achieved what you set out to do. Good on you for having a go, drop some fat rubber under the ass and it's a tuff cruiser 👍

Got no issues with the job looks good, but dude seriously wear a respirator! You gotta wear one! Dude! Set a good example for everyone who follows you

Natural patina is always better to see, this was a decent look on cam, keen to see in person before actually judging it... However, the lower front valance, door surrounds& bumpers not being painted was a huge disservice to the overall look in my opinion

My suggestions would be: 1. If you’re going to do patina, don’t clear it. 2. Don’t take it personally when a few of us don’t like something you do. As I said it’s very rare that I’m not into what you’ve done, and my comment wasn’t intended as a dig at you. The majority seem to be into it. I love the way you’ll get in and have a crack at anything, this one just wasn’t up my alley.
