Prime and Paint Exterior

Restorations on this channel but she's all ready for primer this is an automotive self- etching primer which is perfect for the metal it'll create that etching for the primer to actually ad heat to really strongly um apart from that I just realized I got to tape off my seal cuz I don't want to get that all dirty but in paint but uh I think we're about ready [Applause] [Music] all right so I think the primer is nice and dry and ready for paint paint I swear I just spent like 30 minutes just staring at paint I was debating between I I wanted the hammered texture just because they're really tough on mailboxes it gives a little Dimension besides when we put Bondo on here the freezers already have a little texture to them so by the time you put Bondo on them it Smooths it out so it's inconsistent kind of kind of regret going black cuz it shows a lot of imperfections uh I really wanted to go with brown but I thought it might date this thing to make it look old again so uh we'll go with this color cuz uh I'm going to add some cedar accent stuff to it which will make it pop and it's going to match the sauna anyway so that's what we're going for so uh full transparency here uh this paint sucked uh I don't know if it's user error maybe I'm just terrible applying it it was blotchy super blotchy but also the instruction say don't apply it when it's over 90° and it was 95 in the sunlight so that could have been the case didn't come out hammered at all like the texture that's supposed to and it was all blotchy so I found out that they also have it in a liquid form same hammered stuff same exact brand so I decided to roll on about two coats and I did it already it looks better it's not blotchy it looks like it's kind of hammering a little bit you can see the separation of bubbles that's how they kind of created but there's one problem oh by the way it's like 80° right now it's still morning in the shade but because it's a I'm going to guess like an epoxy kind of paint it doesn't blend in like traditional wall paint does so you see the roller streaks I'm not happy about it but I'm optimistic that perhaps it'll cure and flatten out but we shall see it sucks cuz I did such a good job cleaning up fixing all the dents um and then we have this issue so this is our
