Excellent workmanship - especially the Merc and JH. I noticed you mentioned having eye protection yet you weren't wearing any. Those products can't be good for your eyes.

Cool video. I am a tradie in another industry and am not trying to be a queer prick. But can I ask why you mask up the tail light and bumper and not take them off? Genuine question. Cheers.

Good question. It's a car dealer touch up, fresh off the boat from Japan. The dealer's aren't willing to pay to remove the tail lights etc unless absolutely crucial.
The job in the video had a bit of a whack in the door and rear quarter, so it's only clear coat that goes next to the tail light and minimal by the bumper end. The Estima's have a good gap between the bumper and body to get tape behind too.
I was using slow thinner, so on my first coat I usually apply the clear a bit lighter on my blend areas to avoid runs or excessive wetness. The blend areas were further forward, so on my final coat I slow it right down to wet the blend area up again.

Oh brother, ya preaching to the converted lol.
Mine is the potatoes owners who want this and that air brushed on their tin's, spend an hour or so doing some quick renderings only for them to say it's too expensive. Only to see them six months later with some spray can matte black **** on the bike. Luckily I don't need the business otherwise it would hurt my feelings haha.

Hi. Shaun Walburn here. How do you know me and Dad (Barry). ?

Cheers for that. In the building industry if a client finds you taking any short cuts they want you hung drawn and quartered

You must do good work to avoid (any) short cuts. If you done some shytbox houses all the client would want you to do, is make it all happy and shiny with rainbows in every direction, with a bent corner hidden away somewhere.

Eyes, like any orifice are a receptor for pollutants so if I was spray painting full time (I've done enough as home jobs) I'd be wearing a full face respirator. I looked at your other vids. JH - Jensen Healey and the grey/blue Merc (lol).

Awesome job on that boat. I have also sprayed the top sides only on this 12 month restoration project.
