Kevin Tetz’s Paintucation instructional DVD set is pushed pretty hard from eastwood.
I didn’t see many used copies on eBay, if it was shitty I would expect a bunch of them to be dumped on there.
There are several DVD’s to the library but I didn’t want to drop hundreds only to find out they aren’t worth it. So I threw $35 shipped at Body Panel Replacement (152 minutes) to get me started, if it seems educational I’ll by more. I skipped over the Metal Prep and Rust Repair (55 minutes) because is was made in 2000 and he has a mullet.
I’ll watch it when I it gets here and post my opinions here.
I wish I knew how to download crap…
Let me know how they look.
I’m really wondering about the Metal Prep & Rust Repair since I worked in a metal shop for 8 months. And the video itself seems old as heck, I’m not sure if I’d actually learn anything…
I got my 1st video in the mail, I’m just starting to watch it.
However I did find a copy of an older painting video of his online.
Not sure how long it will be up before it gets taken down. Gives a great idea of what’s involved with the spraying steps. I’m still on metal work on my project though.
Finished watching the Body Panel Replacement, which was nice because it showed me that there really isn’t any magic behind it. If you have good metal working skills (I do), and keep your lines you’re in good shape. Also weld though primer is a must. A hammer and dolly is a necessity if fitting a panel as is a pneumatic punch.
Of course much of this is fantasy because as DSM owner I don’t think I have replacement body panels available to me.
I’d buy another dvd from him. There were little tips and tricks along the way it is a nice alternative as a mere $33 saves me from tons of time on youtube where I don’t know the validity of the source.
Edit: also had to download VLC player to play the 2nd side of the DVD, Toshiba player wouldn’t work.
