Hey, this is Kevin's Korner and this is the Jaded Mustang
we've been making a ton of progress, and I'm so excited I can't stand it
I've got some cool things to show you
now you're going to be seeing a lot of this Mustang
and as you know I'm using Eastwood products from the bare metal to the finished clear coat
primarily using the new contour line of fillers and primers
especially the contour polyester primer servicer
now in my opinion polyester primer surfacer
is essential for the blocking process and getting a car laser straight and staying car laser straight once baby
laser straight because the product does not shrink
The poly primer in conjunction with the Eastwood guide coat will allow you to use your visual sense will allow you to use your visual sense
as well as your sanding boards to really straighten out a car. Now I have to say,
when i first looked at this guide coat I was a little bit skeptical because it
quite frankly looks like a spray can with black paint it's not it's not paint
it's guide caot and it dries almost instantly and doesn't clog your paper, check it out
the guide coat gets sprayed in a mist over top of your primer surfacer
now this is a light colored primer
so we've got a dark-colored guide coat but they do have a light colored guide coat
for dark-colored primer surfacers
and quite simply, you just mist it on
give it a few seconds to dry, and start boarding
really quickly it becomes very apparent exactly why a guide coat is important
see all these scratches
the bald spots here
those are high spots the dark spots are low spots this is going to tell you
how flat your surface is so the guide coat in conjunction with the high bill polly
it guarantees that you can straighten out a panel and you won't see
those crazy waves in the clearcoat when you're all down
after thoroughly agitating the surfacer,
mix according to the instructions
in this case, five percent by weight
keep agitating until everything is intermixed
you'll notice when it has a creamy appearance
no noticeable separation on top
I'm using Eastwood's new evolution spray gun with a 2.0 fluid tip
which is a large large orifice but
the polyester surfacers very thick
and needs that kind of fluid tip
to get an effective coat out of it
Now for the fun part
after doing a final wipe down,
with Eastwood's Pre Paint Prep
run a tack rag over your surface, to make sure there's no debris
that would get caught under the primer
then follow with three medium-wet to wet coats
Depending on your temperature and humidity, your dry times might change in between coats
now you may find yourself going through the blocking and guide coating process
several times, I know I have
but believe me
trust me
this is the time to dial in these panels
and make sure
that your style lines are straight
your flat panels are straight your crowns are correct there's no whiskey nicks
or door dings still in here because that's the difference
between a paint job and a show car
and this is the top coat color for Jaded this is Eastwood's low VOC urethane base coat system
combined with the European urethane clear
and this color is now available from Eastwood.com
and so is the clear as well as all the other contour products that I've used on this car
So if you like the way this looks, check out Eastwood.com
thanks for watching
I've got some work to do
