Where do you buy custom paint color in a spray can?
@sapropllc3 ай бұрын
Hi Allen, thank you for your question. Advance Auto Parts. Other supply stores may offer it too. You'll need you vehicle paint code - look for KZread videos on where to find it on your car's chassis label. If the color is off, try shaking the can longer, especially for metalic colors, i.e. silver. Good luck!

No prep Don't you have to wash and degrease then sanding paste first.
@sapropllc3 ай бұрын
Thanks for your comment. Yes, I degreased it with rubbing alcohol. My focus was on painting what was necessary, rather than the whole panel, instead of a complete beginning-to-end process. Maybe that was not the best decision? The scratches were not deep, so I used sandpaper with a fine grit - 800 and up, which came with the polishing kit. Also, I have never used sanding paste. Do you recommend any videos showing how to use it? Thanks again.

What length bolt for what width shelf ? Thanks
@sapropllc4 ай бұрын
Yes, I used 2 lag screws per shelf: Lowes item 59078, 1/2" x 10" Zinc HX Lag $2.45 ea. The shelves are 44" x 2" x 9". I screwed the bolts 3" deep, leaving 7" protruding. I noticed someone mentioned using a stud finder, which I did to find the stud. However, the accuracy of my stud finder was too coarse when the screw alone uses up 30% of the 1.5" width. I wanted to make sure I was very close to the center, so I found the actual edges of the studs with a small drill bit. Also, you can use a mallet to "tweak" the screws level and for alignment, once they are screwed in. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Well, it depends on what you want. I provide my context and trad-offs. It's not perfection and the results I show speak for themselves. I'm sharing an option that works for me. Best.

For a general diy this is better than most will do. If the paint matched it would be 90%

Shake the can a lot longer than recommended . Roll the mixing ball inside the can all over.

Super interesting. I love how you used a headlight kit. I also like how knew you wouldn’t get it perfect, but that it would be good enough. At least from the video it looks passable in terms of a daily driven vehicle with some wear and tear. I could see myself doing this on one of my cars if needed. Cool video.

how many inches between shelves
@sapropllc8 ай бұрын
Hi Dennis, I used 12", which roughly matched the existing cabinets. I find floating shelves more asthetic than regular cabinets, so it depends on what you put on them. My wife likes to use large 1/2 gallon mason jars that are 10" tall. Anything taller would not work well at 12" shelf spacing. Good luck with your shelves!

That's pretty slick. A stud finder wouldn't hurt, of course. Was thinking a simple jig made from scrap wood, cardboard (or whatever), would work to make sure your holes line up between the wall and the shelf. Just need to transfer the centers. Straight holes are pretty important and there are other dirt cheap jigs you can make for those, but with those long bolts, it seems like it would fairly easy to bend 'em a little to get things right as long as you get pretty close. Thanks for the great idea, friend.🙂 I've watched several YT videos about floating shelves and most of 'em are more complicated and expensive than I'd like. Cuz let's face it, we're not building a piano here lol

Thanks, Andrew! I know my video skills and setup need some work, but I wanted to share and help someone if possible. Yes, I could use some jigs, great idea. I did use a cheap stud finder, which can be off by 1/4". Those are fine for hanging pics, but not here! Yes, you can bend the bolts a bit for leveling - a pipe for leverage works. Also, in the past I've added some silicone caulk in spots to make sure it stays put. With this project, it was not needed. I loved "not building a piano", LOL. Happy building!
