The Paint & Paper Hustle

The Paint & Paper Hustle

This channel covers the build and journey of my 1974 Procharged Mercury Comet with a TKM built Coyote. Here we share a ton of helpful information and grow together. The goal of this channel is to help others be able to build beautiful vehicles at a fraction of the cost of the big guys. Its one of my goals and passions to prove over and over that you can make your vehicle look just as good for half the cost if you're willing to put in the work!
We also cover a lot of daily shop life inside a paint and body shop where we buy/repair/sell totaled salvage title vehicles that we purchase to flip from IAA auctions. I share as much inside information as I can and educate you on all the ins and outs of a body shop/dealership.
Thanks for watching and we hope you subscribe!

    back in 1999 i took a job at a tour bus bodyshop leaving a collision shop paint room what a change it was i thought paint here or paint there whats the difference well everything was different so we had 53 busses 45 foot long some were steel and stainless , some were all aluminum , some were all fiberglass they all got striped to bare substraight around all of the windows all of the busses had a super soft metal im not sure what it was but it corrode so our jobber guy told us about rolling on ppg k36 surface primer and thats what we did and loved it and used this method in the car industry also three or four coats they dry fast build is great and absolutely no clean up or overspray to blame on the painter we did a bus a week me and one other guy it took us 52 weeks to complete
