I recently paid $6700 to have my truck painted. I thought that was a high price, but after seeing everything that goes into painting a vehicle I won't complain anymore.

This "How to Paint a Car at Home" video did a wonderful job convincing me that I never want to paint a car at home. It's so easy! Just do these 400+ steps each of which really requires years of experience to get a decent outcome within a reasonable timeframe.
-
its so fun to read all the comments about how much work this is haha having worked in an autobody shop ill tell you these guys actully made it sound easier to me.
-
Great video! You guys know what you're doing! I loved the series with Kevin Tetz doing the Camaro. He's a fellow British Columbia boy, so that's what sold me on Eastwood products.
-
This is the video i was seaching for all these years man, finally showing how to go about it with the whole process!!!
-
Fantastic video! Mark has a way of giving confidence to do any job on a restoration! Been an Eastwood customer since the early 80s working on a 65 Corvair- wouldn't trust anyone else.
-
this is a great guide! very clean and professional, and even adressing ways to fix mistakes
-
Beautiful job, guy's. Perfection takes a lot of work. Thumbs up on this paint work.
-
Beautiful video. Beautiful editing and focus on products and procedures. Narration was on point!
-
So well put together and to the point, bravo! Gives me inspiration for my Z project when the paint process comes along.....
-
You are definitely a straight forward guy. The way you described what, and how you completed each step was amazing! Your probably an amazing teacher! Project turned out amazing!
-
Excellent video. Addresses all the basic questions and concerns a 1st timer would have.
-
Awesome!!! Just what i needed as i tackle my 53 GMC. Very informative and i'll be downloading the pdf. Thanks for putting this out!
-
great video i could watch these over and over
-
I took lots of notes and saved this to my YT library. I have the conditioning tool, roll on epoxy kit and watching every painting video that I can find on YT to get ready to paint my 1985 Jeep J10 pickup. Wish me luck because I am going to need it.

Perfection! 💯👌🏼
-
Lovely job and great video!

Thanks for the video, I'm busy with my 1958 MG Magnette, my arms are falling off block sanding is heavy work lol. The part that worries me is having the right place to do the spray job and an extractor fan system and dust prevention and and and...that's the issue most home DIY spraypainters face. To have the proper environment to paint the car and for it to dry without bugs, dust, overspray etc. Looks like I will now have to make a tempory spray booth!

This video couldnt have come at a better time. Working on a 69 Mustang and planning to do paint myself. I had already been researching Eastwood for supplies and stumbled upon the PDF guide, but seeing it in action along with the “gotchas” made it way more accessible. Great resource.
