#99 - Edd Herbison · After-Hours with Faction! Motorsports

0:00
Greetings everyone. We're back with another episode
0:03
of After Hours podcast. On today's episode, we have Ed
0:07
Herbison. Ed is a really great friend of
0:10
mine. He's a painter that we've known
0:12
for a while now he's in. Well, before anything else, he's
0:15
really an artist. You guys got to check out his
0:17
Instagram. It's Ed is Peachy.
0:20
He's basically painted the Front Street and faction cars for the
0:24
last five years. I believe we figured out on this
0:27
episode. So he's been a great help to us
0:30
and I just wanted to bring him in and kind of have someone a
0:33
little different than who we usually have on here, someone
0:36
who's not really in the car scene but still, you know, is
0:40
directly involved with helping us get our cars finished.
0:43
And honestly painting is one of the last big steps.
0:45
So he's kind of a big, a big, important role in our in the
0:50
building process of our cars. So I personally had an amazing
0:54
time on this podcast. Me and Ed don't really get to
0:56
hang out or, you know, talk often.
0:58
So it's usually just more of a transactional thing at this
1:02
point, like bring my car there, explain everything to him and
1:04
then he gets the job done. So it was cool to be able to sit
1:07
down with him and kind of pick his brain a bunch with paint.
1:11
And it was really cool to see Carl talk to him about painting
1:14
because you all know Carl is kind of getting into that right
1:17
now and you know he's in the learning stages.
1:20
So I hope you guys enjoy it and let us know what you think.

1:27
East Coast Drift School is a driving school focused on
1:29
learning the art of drifting, Conveniently located at the
1:32
greatest drifting facility in the United States, Raceway Park
1:35
in Englishtown, NJ. Raceway Park currently has three
1:38
tracks, so you will have a few options to choose from when
1:41
setting up your lessons. Chris Knapp, who is part of the
1:43
Raceway Park family, will be your teacher as he guides you
1:45
through car setup and technique. If you are more of a seasoned
1:48
driver, East Coast Drift School is also the place where you can
1:51
get some extra seat time. Chris allows private track time
1:54
with no instructing as well so that you can get some tests and
1:56
tune runs in before that big event or competition you have
1:59
coming up. Instead of spending the night
2:01
dodging the police with your boys, consider signing up with
2:03

This podcast is also sponsored by Automotive Specialty Wraps.
2:21
Looking to have your car ceramic coated or wrapped?
2:23
Look no further than Automotive Specialty Wraps.
2:26
ASW is a company specializing in paint protection, film, vehicle
2:29
wraps, ceramic coatings, and window tinting.
2:32
Owned and operated by car enthusiasts and Drifters, their
2:35
technicians have over 10 years of experience in the industry.
2:37
They are located right off of Route 208 in Fairlawn, New
2:40
Jersey. Other than window tinting, which
2:42
is something we all need at some point, it was the ceramic
2:44
coating that really caught my attention back when they reached
2:46
out to us. Basically gives your cars paint
2:49
extra UV protection while also making it shine.
2:52
Wax only lasts a couple of weeks at most, but ceramic coating
2:55
lasts for a year or even longer. Honestly, this stuff is like
2:59
witchcraft to me. Julian came down here one day to
3:01
explain how it works and how it compares to wax and I was pretty
3:04
stunned. They perform a full two stage
3:06
Polish to the car beforehand just to make sure it's in
3:09
perfect condition before applying the coating.
3:11
As mentioned, they also offer window tinting and paint
3:14
protection film installations. Now everyone knows what window
3:17
tinting is, but these guys offer carbon or ceramic window tinting
3:21
depending on your goals with the vehicle.
3:23
Paint Protection film or PPF is a great idea for those new
3:26
vehicle owners that don't want to watch investment get littered
3:29
with rock shifts. Also keep in mind they are
3:31
capable of getting liveries designed and installed as well
3:34
as full vehicle wraps. From protecting your tow rigs
3:37
exterior to full livery installations on your drift car,
3:40
they have you covered. You can contact them over at
3:42
Automotive specialtywraps.com and make sure they give them a
3:45
follow on Instagram at Automotive Specialty Wraps.

10:56
I love it. Frankie hates that.

I love it. I hate that he loves it, 'cause
11:00
he has a fucking Honda. What is it?
11:02
I have an excess. And like and I'm just like
11:04
that's not a chopper. It's fun, I know.
11:06
People bike choppers but. I got it for free.
11:09
That's a fucking bike, bro. It's very.
11:10
Like I that's like, I can't be more thankful to Wags or that
11:14
thing. It, like mentally saved me
11:16
through the winter. When I see that bike though, I'm
11:18
just like, I want it to be a cafe racer.
11:20
It was already. Something like that.
11:22
It was. I got it and it looked like a
11:24
cafe dude. The I joined the Facebook groups
11:27
immediately cause those old people they have.
11:31
That was mean. Those older people have those
11:35
like. People that bought them brand
11:36
new. Yeah, they have like the manuals
11:37
that they scanned and shit, like I needed help retentioning the
11:42
fucking change know everything. And this guy, like scanned
11:45
something for me and was like, hey, I have this out of a flyer
11:48
that shows all three of those tensioners.
11:49
From all the different years. Wow.
11:51
And I was like, hell yeah. And he sent it to me and I
11:53
solved the problem that I needed to do, which was deleting a
11:57
washer so that I could tighten that's.
11:59
Really nice more. That's really nice of him.
12:01
Cool, cool ass community. And like, I guess what it stands
12:04
for, you're just kind of just riding around like you're doing
12:08
some fucking thing. Yeah, something breaks, you fix
12:10
it and you fucking keep going, Yeah.
12:12
Sick dude. But you need a fucking Sportster
12:15
or something. I don't know.
12:17
Whatever. That's what I have.
12:18
I was. Going to ask you what you.
12:19
Had, yeah, that was my I. Traded a dirt bike for it.
12:21
It was cool. No.
12:22
Hell yeah. Even better, dude, yo-yo ads
12:26
about it dude. After the after the.
12:28
Why don't you just? Get a Harbor Freight box comment
12:30
earlier. Just the box.
12:32
You're a guy that does shit. That makes sense sometimes.
12:35
You know what I mean? Like, yeah, here we go.
12:37
The opposite, yeah. Yeah, you have this.
12:39
Put the really expensive tools in the cheap box.
12:41
Yeah, which is which is fine. Like I told Chris, it's time to
12:45
get a toolbox and then you shut the door on me.
12:46
But it's time for him to get a fucking toolbox, so I don't care
12:49
what it is. Don't get me wrong, they're
12:50
nice, though. It's a fucking.
12:51
It's a nice box. Oh yeah.
12:53
I mean, dude, you're not. Gonna snap on or a Mac box?
12:55
Yeah, you're not gonna beat that.
12:56
I'm sorry, you're just not. I was telling Malcolm the other
12:57
day, 'cause he was like, asking questions.
12:59
He was like, So what like is is it really like that big of a
13:02
difference? I was like, well, first of all,
13:03
it's probably, it's not probably they're made in America.
13:05
That's the first difference. Are they still?
13:07
Though Snap On boxes are confirmed assembled, I'll say
13:11
assembled. I don't fucking know anything.
13:13
Harvesting those metals in America anymore, bro, That
13:16
jukebox you got that right there is made in America.
13:18
They're definitely high quality. My my box survived Hurricane
13:21
Sandy. It's a nicer box.
13:22
All right. All right.
13:24
There you. Completely submerged.
13:26
So would a Harbor Freight box. That salt would have ate right
13:29
through it like that would have been that's.
13:32
True, the water from the Passaic River would have melted it.
13:35
No, no, no. Yeah.
13:37
I mean, that's true. Yeah, you're right.
13:40
But no, the new ones and the icon ones or whatever from
13:42
Harbor Freight, Harbor Freight, they seem pretty legit.
13:46
Dude, they're. Trying.
13:47
Yeah. I mean, you can finance them.
13:49
You can get like, what? Yeah.
13:51
It's like crazy. You shouldn't have told me that.
13:52
We saw we stopped by like, Harbor Freight's big ass thing
13:55
at SEMA last year. It was like way too big of an
13:58
area where like it was like a store.
14:00
They had a display booth. That's.
14:01
Basically like you're walking to a store.
14:03
Yeah. And then he's like trying to
14:05
sell Chris on the box and I'm like come on Chris, you can get
14:09
those SEMA prices. Yeah, that's the brand what's.
14:12
Icon Icon is a different brand. That's at Harbor Freight, so
14:16
it's Icon and US General. US General's still the same shit
14:19
like. Speaking of Facebook groups,
14:20
dude and like how the older people, there's another Facebook
14:23
group called like Harbor Freight Hacks.
14:25
That one's a good one. That's an entertaining.
14:27
I've heard about that one from him.
14:28
It's pretty fucking. That one's funny.
14:29
You joined it. You checked it out?
14:31
No, but I should right now. Honestly, you you probably got
14:33
recommended it because we're all our phones are listening like,
14:36
like, I the the the bike thing's been on pause.
14:38
But now that we're talking about it, here we go again.
14:41
Like, it's gonna be all over my Instagram and I'm just gonna be
14:43
sending. Frankie Real.
14:44
That Facebook group, though, sounded like it would be
14:47
extremely helpful because they'd get like, buy shit from Harbor
14:50
Freight and then tell you like how you can use it for different
14:52
things and convert it and all this shit.
14:54
This guy they they always one thing they love doing is
14:56
chopping the shit like the carts to like, take the top of it,
14:59
they'll chop it. Put it on something I'm joining
15:01
this group 'cause I feel like I could use this.
15:02
Hell yeah. I just sold Frankie on
15:04
something. There we go.
15:05
Got another. What's it?
15:06
Called. Free Hacks.
15:09
Sure. If you type that in, I'm sure
15:11
it'll come up. And anybody else who's
15:12
listening, go join that like I'd have tool.
15:14

15:16
And then they'll tell you they love them cup holder things.
15:19
They'll put that shit around the shop and.
15:20
Just be like, yeah, I could did. Fucking Stanley Cup in here now.
15:23
My wife doesn't have to make me hold it.
15:24
What? Are what are what are your?
15:28
Tools like at work. I just use a spray gun, dude.
15:31
It's just spray. That's it.
15:33
OK, OK. What about the spray gun?
15:35
Like what? What kind of spray gun is it?
15:37
Do you have your gun or is it just like what's at the shop?
15:40
Well, I guess they're the shops. Guns.
15:42
I mean, they're guest. You know how like, people have
15:44
like, super? Expensive.
15:46
What's that? What's that shop?
15:47
Bottom. I have an Awada.
15:49
You want LPH. LPH 400.
15:52
Oh, yeah, that's that's one of the yeah, that's that's the one
15:54
of the orange. Cap for base, and then there's a
15:57
silver cap for the clear gun. What's the difference I think.
16:01
It's the atomization of the fucking paint.
16:03
Really. Yeah.
16:04
It flows better for the clear. Like the silver cap has
16:07
something about the the holes or OK.
16:10
It's crazy. How did you know what that was?
16:12
Because I have, because an Iwata is like one of those expensive.
16:15
Ones They're like a WADA. It's like if you're like a WADA,
16:17
you don't like SADA, and if you like SADA, you don't like a
16:19
WADA. And then one there's another one
16:22
I. Have a develop I have a develop
16:25
gun too no? Is it?
16:26
Crazy. Names.
16:27
Develops. I have a Rep of one of these I.
16:30
Have a techton, that's what I have.
16:32
I use a Technic because we shoot waterborne paint it where so
16:34
it's a little bit different. Than just what's waterborne.
16:38
Water. Water.
16:39
Based. Water based paint versus more of
16:41
a solvent based paint. It's more like eco friendly.
16:43
What do you use that shit? It's not.
16:45
It's the comparison to your fucking wall paint.
16:47
In a sense, it's like a late well, I guess that one is not
16:49
Latex. I guess it depends on what you
16:51
buy this. One is weird because you could
16:52
use it as a solvent line, but you put some shit in it to make
16:55
it water and then it's eco friendly.
16:57
What? And it's like it's it gives you
16:59
a good finish, just like a normal automotive paint.
17:02
Yeah. It's pretty rad.
17:03
You could be an idiot and spray that shit.
17:04
Oh really? I'm debatable, but hold on I.
17:07
Thought it was like the opposite, like water is harder
17:09
to really get to look good or is.
17:11
It some water systems, just blast two coats on and you just
17:13
get out of there, which is wild, yeah, but mine's like a 2-3 coat
17:17
system, OK? I am remembering and then the.
17:20
Blowers. Blowers in the booth too.
17:21
So after that you turn these blowers on and it.
17:24
It heats it. Up it blows.
17:25
Air is consistent air. It's like it's like wall paint.
17:28
You know how like in a room, if you put a fan in the room, your
17:30
wall paint will dry a little? Yeah.
17:32
But it's like dustless air that's coming in there.
17:34
Cycling I would. Say fucking dustless.
17:36
No, no, no. I mean, well, I mean, like the
17:38
idea would be there's dust everywhere.
17:40
It's like cycling the air by to make a cure faster.
17:43
Yeah, so it's like a 85° air. So these blower systems and they
17:48
just blow all this air onto your paint and it?
17:50
Is it worth it to blow that in? Fucking.
17:53
Absolutely where? Did you ride your paint?
17:54
Yeah, you. Otherwise it's going to take
17:55
for. Everything.
17:56
Yeah, but in theory, all your shit should be clean.
17:59
OK, It should be. Yeah, you.
18:00
Know what I mean? I like that you said in theory.
18:03
In theory bro. Because like all the shit that,
18:05
all the shit that I'm painting, dude, there's a fucking little
18:09
ping. Ping I'd still get them.
18:10
Dude, you can't get them all. The best is when you finish a
18:12
whole paint job and you walk over and there's a family just
18:14
fucking like. I pulled.
18:17
I pulled a stink bug out of something.
18:18
Oh. My God, dude, that's a big.
18:21
When I painted my car, there's a Nat in the roof.
18:23
I just blasted them in there. I was like, you're gonna fly in,
18:28
You're staying. Yeah, that's kind of sick,
18:29
though. You have a little.
18:31
Yeah, dude, he's in it. Yeah.
18:32
It was on the roof. It was like on the side.
18:33
It was right. I like the whole painting thing
18:36
right now. Is has been a big part of what
18:38
I've been doing lately. Just cause again it in my
18:41
opinion it's fun. I'm sure I at first I'm sure
18:43
hopefully today you still find some fun in it.
18:45
But oh, it's fun. I just dude, I just paint
18:47
bumpers all day cars. And yeah, I mean you you just
18:50
saw the colors, Malcolm said. You weren't even looking at the
18:52
fucking thing before. So.
18:54
But but you really, you really wouldn't have to if you you.
18:58
Guys, gotta do yourself a favor and follow Ed is Peachy on
19:01
Instagram and you'll understand what he means by that.
19:03
But like, I'm sure Ed could fucking go like this right now
19:06
and tell you and show you how fast you should be laying a coat
19:09
down. That's.
19:09
Like Instagram magic? Yeah, being a fucking a goofball
19:12
bro. He's always putting 110 percent,
19:14
100. 1000 Always, always. But you do paint a lot of cars.
19:18
Yeah, no, I paint a lot. Of cars?
19:19
How many cars? How many cars do you think you
19:21
paint? A year?
19:22
Oh, dude, I don't know. I don't know.
19:23
It depends too, 'cause you gotta think, like a job could be just
19:26
a bumper job, right? So I can line up three different
19:28
colors in the booth. It's three different bumpers.
19:30
Yeah, so that's three. In that day, like today, I
19:32
painted two I painted a BMW and like some Audi bumper.
19:36
And are you the only painter there?
19:37
Yeah. OK.
19:38
So they pretty much rely on you. Yeah.
19:40
That's me. Yeah, That's some good.
19:42
That's some good job security I would say.
19:43
You'd be you're. The only painter there.
19:45
Who? When?
19:46
When you work in a Body Shop, or I or, well, you.
19:49
Let's say you're a painter. You're you're taking down the
19:51
gun, like after and making sure everything's clean.
19:53
I should but. I don't so.
19:56
My boss yells at me all the time.
19:57
So you're popping some acetone in the gun and you're spraying
20:01
the crew? Yeah, pretty crudely.
20:03
That's what I. Do if I have a lot of jobs lined
20:06
up. My man yells at me all the time.
20:08
Yeah. He's like, what?
20:09
The fuck. He's like, you're making me buff
20:10
shit and I'm like, I don't know what's wrong.
20:13
It's me not cleaning the shit. I don't know what's wrong.
20:16
Dude, because that that little bit.
20:18
Like some days if I don't clean the gun, like super, we were
20:21
good. Like I'll no.
20:21
You should like my clear gun, my clear gun's tits.
20:23
Yeah, the other ones. So what actually happens?
20:26
Like when that like when he's saying he's got a buffet, like
20:28
what does it look like? Like?
20:30
Oh dude, there's just dirt nibs here and there, OK?
20:32
But it's just like, is it like a fucking 2001 Corolla no one
20:36
cares about? Or is it like a really nice
20:38
fucking? And we get really nice cars all
20:40
the time? Yeah, so it's like.
20:42
I think you're thinking of like orange peel.
20:44
I was making orange peel that wasn't.
20:45
No. So dirt nibs are just like
20:47
little dirts in it, you know what I mean?
20:48
What causes? Orange.
20:49
That was my next. Question.
20:50
You fucking slut. Now that we're having this.
20:52
Conversation. You think it could be the the
20:53
fact you put your base coat on like shit, so your base coat
20:56
could be so you got to think everything's like layers.
20:58
So when you spray shit it turns into like this.
21:01
And then sometimes you could be open up layers like this, but
21:04
then when you sand and everything and you want you want
21:06
them tighter. I don't.
21:08
Know explaining? It so you want everything Ding
21:09
it? Yeah, kinda.
21:11
Or mix, yeah. It's like when you sand
21:12
something with orange peel maybe like how it's all crater.
21:15
You don't want it. It's like your.
21:16
Prep. Your prep could suck, yeah?
21:18
So when you first prep it, if it's not nice and smooth with
21:21
like nice high grits. Is our prep OK when we send you
21:23
cars? No.
21:24
Never. OK, I wish.
21:27
I just wanted. To it's OK.
21:28
It's OK for what it is, but like.
21:30
I'm going. To.
21:32
Resand it you guys all the time. Like you almost prep it for you.
21:34
I'm like it doesn't. Matter.
21:35
I don't even fuck, I'm charging you, Yeah.
21:37
I'm going to. I'm going to redo it as.
21:39
Soon as you. Said.
21:40
How is our prep? I was like, oh dude, I know.
21:43
I feel like I'm getting a no head right now.
21:44
He's going to. Say no.
21:45
I wanted. I wanted to say that.
21:46
It's like if you bring Ethan O diff to Weld and and you're like
21:49
yeah, I cleaned it with break clean and then he's like I
21:51
can't. Fucking wild, bitch.
21:53
Yeah, and then Ethan will every No matter what Ethan will be
21:55
like, make sure you prep it. And then after we prep it, he'll
21:58
still do it. It's the opposite.
22:00
Ed's like, don't bother. Ethan's don't do everything.
22:03
'Cause I'd rather just do 'cause then 'cause then you're in
22:05
control, you know? OK, I know what my paint job's
22:08
gonna look like 'cause I fucking prepped it.
22:10
Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you prepped it and just like,
22:12
go for it, I'm like, and then I see something and then I give it
22:15
back to you and it looks like shit and you're like, what?
22:16
Why does it look like shit? I'm like, what did you fucking?
22:18
Prep it? Well, I didn't prep it, yeah.
22:20
I didn't do that, so I always prep it.
22:21
Yeah, you guys always give me fiberglass, which always.
22:24
Well. Yeah, I mean no one.
22:26
You don't like painting fiberglass?
22:27
It's not that. It's just like your result
22:29
afterwards. Fiberglass just WAVY and just
22:31
looks like shit. 'Cause you like.
22:33
So you have in your head like, yo, I'm gonna get a tight ass
22:35
paint job and then you look at it and you're like, that's looks
22:38
like shit and be like that's what you fucking gave me.
22:40
I don't know what to tell you. Fortunately, a lot of my, my, a
22:44
lot of my clientele are drift people, so it's like, maybe that
22:48
wouldn't matter. You guys know much you?
22:49
Guys don't care as much 'cause you're just gonna smack it.
22:52
Into a wall now, people. I feel I care.
22:54
About it. I mean, we we've cared the whole
22:56
time. Yeah, yeah, I've got some.
22:57
Shit, when there's some bad shit on it, I'll fix it.
23:00
But I'm like, dude, it's it's gonna be a little WAVY, you know
23:02
what I mean? He's doing Front Street and our
23:04
cars so and he says we don't care.
23:07
But like you know that we care. I'm.
23:09
I'm over exaggerating. I don't agree, I know, but I'm
23:11
trying to explain to people like your idea of bad quality is not.
23:17
Yeah. It's.
23:18
Good. It's still tough.
23:19
Yeah, I understand. Yeah, because we've gone to
23:21
other painters and you know it's.
23:24
I'm gonna do my best. You know what I mean?
23:25
Yeah, I'm gonna do my best. There's like huge cracks or
23:28
like, you know, it's fiberglass. It's just not perfect.
23:30
Drifters are weird because it's like it's hard to explain.
23:34
Like if there's a crack in the fiberglass or something and I
23:36
dropped it off like that and then I get it back and it's
23:38
still a crack, but it's painted over.
23:40
I'm OK. I'm not gonna say I'm cool.
23:42
I'm gonna be like, well, whatever.
23:43
There's difference within cracks and like sometimes you get like
23:45
a spider cracks, you know, like you hit it and then the the shit
23:48
just travels, yeah. And then you don't see it.
23:49
And then as soon as you put paint over it, it's just you're
23:51
like. The only way to make fire guys
23:53
look good is literally redesign the Fire guys and block it.
23:56
Or all those cars that you see in the Internet that are like,
23:59
fucking beautiful. It's so there's so much body
24:01
work done to all those fiberglass parts.
24:03
I mean, what's? His face and you guys are gonna
24:05
slide him you're gonna you're. Yeah, So we don't care.
24:07
Yeah, I mean, I don't care. I other people.
24:09
Chris Kachesi. I'm calling him out.
24:11
He might listen to this. That motherfucker blocked crawl
24:13
his arrow. Chris Cheeser Yeah, Joe Sick.
24:17
His BMW is great 36. Immaculate, but like.
24:21
It's. He doesn't drift it now probably
24:23
'cause. He's.
24:24
Probably 'cause it's too clean. Yeah, like once a year he does
24:27
do what? You want to, you know.
24:28
Yeah, but like I. Always tell him every time I see
24:30
him I'm like, dude, stop making this car so clean, man.
24:32
Like we just. Want to see him drift it It
24:34
looks awesome though you gotta the.
24:36
Car is awesome. And he puts in a lot of work to
24:38
make it look awesome, so. But like he there's blocking the
24:41
whole, basically trying to get all those.
24:42
Waves. That's what it is, yeah.
24:44
He just blocks saying a big block.
24:46
So crazy though like to do all. That 'cause, that 'cause that
24:48
fiberglass. Now that you say it, when it.
24:51
Pop out of the mold. It's just his wiggly.
24:52
You can't get him perfect, yeah. What we do have to ask you about
24:56
is you ever heard of the brand KBD?
25:00
No. OK, so they make like.
25:01
If I did, probably still know. They make like, flexible rubber.
25:05
Oh, OK, cool body kits. So has anyone ever brought
25:08
something like that? No.
25:08
OK, fuck. Damn, no, I was gonna say.
25:11
Like it sounds like Ed is you said Ed is only painting faction
25:14
in Front St. And I mean, he does other cars.
25:16
Another car, you. Know a bunch of shit.
25:17
Yeah, but people, people buy these, 'cause they're really
25:20
cheap. Yeah, Yeah, And they get them
25:21
out of a box that's like this big.
25:22
And, well, no, they're buying. It for a multitude of other.
25:25
Open them and they just like warm them in the sun and then
25:27
they become like their shape. It's it's like a Chia Pet.
25:30
But anyway so. Was it made out of I guess?
25:33
The thing is like, I don't know. Rubber dude.
25:35
Someone brought a bumper to our shop once and it was just
25:38
folded, dude. That's that.
25:39
Was just folded. That's it.
25:40
That's how it is. Paint this.
25:41
And I went absolutely not. OK, good.
25:43
Sorry that I want to see what you.
25:44
React. When you open this, this is
25:45
going to look like shit. Yeah, it's it was folded.
25:48
It was just a normal. That's KVD, dude.
25:49
It was just a normal, like, aftermarket bumper.
25:52
That's OK. I thought you meant it was like
25:53
some no, no, no. That's fancy flexible.
25:56
Oh, you know. That that's it.
25:57
No, Yeah, that doesn't work. So what happens out here is like
26:00
the paint just flakes off of it like because it's I guess it's
26:03
like, I don't know. I bet you 'cause it's made as a
26:06
bumper. Then they prime it with whatever
26:07
primer they have 'cause when I sand it, I'm sanding their
26:10
primer, so usually it's black. And then you sand.
26:14
People were saying this up. People were saying like you
26:16
gotta add like an additive or some shit of.
26:18
Adhesion promote adhesion, sort of sure.
26:20
Flex. So that might be like a raw
26:22
product which you have to prep some completely different, OK.
26:25
When you're laying paint on that, though, that's when you're
26:27
gonna get that, like, WAVY, right?
26:30
Like, no matter what you do, that bumper, the material, it's
26:35
always just gonna be I. Don't know your final result.
26:37
'S gonna be as best as your starting point.
26:39
If your starting point looks like shit, your final result's
26:41
gonna. Look like shit.
26:42
Damn. So if your bumper's wiggly as
26:43
shit, it's gonna be it's. That's all.
26:45
Body work, though, has nothing to do with paint.
26:47
You can make something wiggly as shit with.
26:49
A With a plastic bumper like I mean, I guess you could still do
26:52
shit. To it You cannot keep this
26:53
motherfucker's company out of your mouth.
26:56
Sometimes, I mean, I just wanna know I.
27:00
Mean. He's like, these two are, these
27:01
two are? And he's, I mean, he just saw it
27:03
and he went no. Is he bigger than me?
27:06
He's way bigger than us. That's great.
27:08
Yeah, I mean he obviously. Doing Making way more money than
27:11
we are one. 1000 just for the record. 1000% no, no no.
27:15
They're talking about me. I was like, dude, who this body
27:17
really am I? Possibly, but but this body body
27:21
kit company that we always roast.
27:23
I think, I think that with how much you so that crowd, right
27:28
they're they're gravitating their KBD because again on paper
27:32
kind of makes sense. Our sport is a sport where you
27:34
blow up bumpers and and you break stuff and then KBD is like
27:37
not breakable. So on paper it makes sense.
27:41
On paper, you know what also makes sense for drifting?
27:44
Wrapping the car. Oh, I wanted to bring that.
27:46
Up but yet. But yet I feel like it's nice
27:49
that people still have an appreciation for paint.
27:51
Because no matter what you do, even like a bad paint job, I
27:55
feel like still sometimes. I agree with that.
27:57
Better wrapping the car for drifting.
27:59
It makes, but on paper it makes sense.
28:02
Just don't crash. Yeah, No.
28:04
He always says this shit, dude. Every time he's like dude Ed.
28:07
Is. It the one drifting.
28:08
I know, but I'm like Ed, that's not how it works.
28:10
Like everybody all the time is like, how do you feel when they
28:12
crash your car? Is that you paint?
28:14
I'm like, I don't care. Bring them back.
28:16
Paid me. They're gonna, I'm gonna paint
28:18
your bumper in there. Yeah, let's keep going.
28:20
Yeah, they just don't crash it. It's like, yeah, it's just.
28:23
Just gonna. Fucking crash it.
28:24
Yeah, dude. Josh all the time rips his shit
28:26
off. I'm like.
28:27
They crash too. Much I see his.
28:29
His bumper just flinging. I'm like, I just fuck, I'm like
28:32
hours. I just put in that he wanted
28:34
this 2 tone when his car was his lavender and I painted this 2
28:37
tone and then he just fucking exploded his bump like.
28:40
I think, I think of you sometimes when I see that shit
28:42
because I'm like on one side, it's like, yeah, you're getting
28:47
paid for it and. It hurts a little.
28:49
Yeah, and they're breaking it often.
28:51
But you're gonna. I don't care though.
28:52
I really don't care. I'm like, oh fuck dude.
28:54
But it does hurt it. Hurts a little bit, yeah.
28:57
I'm like it's spent some time. Yeah, you put all the time into
28:59
it and then fucking Josh and Tom just destroy their shit.
29:02
Dude, once I painted a lip for my car like a long time ago and
29:05
I ran that shit over. Ran demolished it.
29:08
Dude, I was like, are you kidding me?
29:10
It was like a fucking $150.00 lip.
29:12
I just demolished it within 5 seconds.
29:14
That's amazing. I was really upset.
29:16
Yeah, I. Don't know dude.
29:18
For me though, going back to the wrap thing I thought about, I
29:22
remember thinking about this for a while and I was like, I'd
29:25
rather have scratched up paint than have wrap hanging off.
29:28
You know, like ripped and like you see underneath.
29:31
I feel like you don't really see that often though, like somebody
29:35
who's wrapping. I I've seen it on drift cars.
29:37
A car it's like. It seems like Paint's pretty
29:40
durable man. Yeah, like, I just.
29:42
I also. I also carry like blue tape and
29:47
blue can of spray paint on me. That's it.
29:49
All you need is duct tape. And yeah, dude, that's probably
29:51
the sad part is I feel like if I saw somebody like and they're
29:54
going to bring it back to me and on track I see that they're
29:57
spray painting it black to match.
30:00
So it looks OK still. I'm going to leave you like,
30:02
fuck, I'm going to have to send all that shit.
30:04
True. Yeah, that's Anyway, that's the
30:06
worst. Sometimes you like bring me shit
30:07
and like the doors are spray painted.
30:09
I'm like, oh, I'm like bro. Wait, you?
30:12
Guys really aren't probably that bad of shit, though.
30:14
Are you repairing them for for Frankie too?
30:17
Like you fiberglass repair them. Small stuff.
30:19
Definitely. Small shit, usually I tell them
30:21
anything fiberglass I'm like bro, that's that's on you.
30:23
Anything metal, I'll fix the metal cause usually their doors
30:26
are all messed up. I'm always like rounding Josh's
30:29
door off or something like. I usually.
30:31
Try like. Yeah, whatever.
30:33
Radius of whatever, Yeah. Just.
30:34
Just rounding off, just like kind of feeling it real quick.
30:37
Just make it look like a. Dent.
30:39
You know, yeah. I feel like you're doing your
30:42
literally doing your best. Doing my best, but Josh is
30:44
always cool like that. Josh has always been.
30:46
Josh He's the homie. Josh is never going.
30:47
To give you never once, ever. But Miyagi's car, That car was
30:52
the red one, the crested. I did a lot of work on that one.
30:54
I did a lot of body work to those quarters and the doors
30:57
give. A picture of the Roof Mountain.
30:58
Yeah, bring that. Oh, no, you're right.
30:59
I did a. Lot of shit on that.
31:01
The hood on the roof, what? We put hood vents in it and you
31:04
had to mold them. Oh, I think.
31:06
No, I don't remember. But yeah, it was crazy.
31:09
Right there to the right this is.
31:10
The most work I ever gave Ed to do on a car because I honestly
31:14
at this point was going to kill myself if I had to work on this
31:16
thing anymore. And then this is what he gave
31:18
us. And that shit is like, holy.
31:20
And that shit is flat. I need to reiterate that I.
31:24
Don't even like that. That is such a don't.
31:25
Even like it, dude, how, how how old was that?
31:27
I don't even like that. Is that that was that was like
31:29
what, five years? Ago, that was. 4-3 or four,
31:33
Yeah. What color here is the first
31:36
like where is your base? What was your color that you
31:38
started with? 1st.
31:39
Well, so it was. It was the same color as the
31:41
car, the red. So the whole thing was red.
31:43
And then I flaked out the roof. I actually, like, kind of
31:45
convinced you to do it. Oh, yeah.
31:47
I was like, this was not Frankie's idea.
31:48
Well, no, I was like, he wanted to do it.
31:50
I was like, yeah, I'll just do it.
31:51
He. Brought it up first, and then
31:52
Miyagi was like, hell yeah, but he was like, worried about money
31:55
and I. Did that for practically nothing
31:57
and basically. Huge.
31:58
Fucking insane. I just wanted to do a roof.
32:00
Wait, OK, another detail. You see the gold That is,
32:04
that's. What do you call that leaf?
32:07
That's Leaf. Yeah, I think that's who the
32:09
fuck does that variegated leaves and shit in there.
32:12
This is some chopper shit. Yeah, that's.
32:13
Honestly, it's got. Some other cool.
32:15
What the? Fuck it.
32:17
Could have been. I don't.
32:18
Know I love. The outline around the sunroof
32:22
like that little gap. Yeah, I think I.
32:23
Because it flows. I think I just.
32:25
Didn't want to paint towards it. Oh yeah, that makes sense.
32:27
But then. But then it all kind of flows.
32:29
Yeah, I don't remember what I did, dude.
32:31
No, I actually like, yeah, I like how it looks like that.
32:33
I like the side this. The side has these bubbles
32:35
things on it. And then there's.
32:37
Like, Oh yeah. There's like a dagger thing that
32:39
that that. Part That part's cool.
32:40
My favorite part about this cartoon is how the the body is
32:44
darker than the roof, 'cause I guess you put the flake in it.
32:47
Yeah, there's. Like, a ton of, like, House of
32:49
Color. Like, really, really fine.
32:52
So it's like see how that color difference from the from the,
32:54
yeah. Actually, I never really noticed
32:56
that I had a. Good break off line 'cause I it
32:59
has a whole recorder. Yeah, right there, dude.
33:02
It came out so. Dude, that car is so hard.
33:05
Dude, that thing is sitting in the garage.
33:06
I did a lot of work on that one. Oh yeah, 'cause.
33:08
We put overs on that dude. You should have seen under the
33:10
overs they're the car is angled, angled.
33:14
Yeah. Oh God.
33:15
We did our best it. Was a pretty color too.
33:17
Yeah. We did our best, but it was like
33:19
and I remember. Picking the color we.
33:20
I just came over we you put some colors on it and we're like.
33:23
That one? That's always the best.
33:25
Bro, don't think. About it too much.
33:27
Just fucking pick it. That car would say you know
33:29
drifting photo. Drifting Photo.
33:30
I'm. Glad we got these photos though.
33:32
Yeah, dude, look at that thing that.
33:33
Car is sitting in a garage gathering dust.
33:36
Miyagi, what are we doing? Possibly mold and possibly mold.
33:40
No, definitely. Yeah, definitely mold.
33:42
It's so sad, but it's cool. It's a fun car.
33:45
That car made it around the Internet a little bit 'cause it
33:48
was cool. It it was a that roof is crazy.
33:52
But yeah, that was one of the first time I didn't have as
33:55
crazy of an appreciation for how much work into went into that
33:57
until I found out like how. Much work into that.
34:01
Yeah, and it's. Yo, Malcolm, bring up one of
34:03
Carl's. It's a long no, no, no, not
34:05
right now. It's not, not not in front end.
34:08
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but like, it is a shit
34:12
load of work, dude. Layering it and sent me what you
34:16
did, I was like. That shit took me so long.
34:19
Carl did this shit. It took me so long, dude.
34:21
Because what you do no pull up, Carl.
34:22
I did like a little. I did a little like I have
34:26
anything. You might find it in the group
34:29
chat too. I might.
34:30
I I kind of had to clear my phone out because I went to a
34:33
drift event and I wanted to take pictures.
34:35
I did. I Did.
34:36
I. Did my phone's always full?
34:37
He basically. Why is that?
34:38
Because Apple is just pictures of Apple is a scam.
34:41
Kid and fucking. Art and just random pieces of.
34:43
Cars, pictures of the same gas tank.
34:46
I'm like I need to keep them all.
34:50
But you're how? Often.
34:51
How many? So does the chopper work
34:54
outweigh the car? Work like way more really.
34:58
Yeah, a lot of tanks, yeah. How do you not run out of ideas?
35:02
For that shit. People come to you, they want
35:03
this, OK? It's easier that way.
35:06
Yeah, but the the striping and everything.
35:08
Like, what the fuck? Like he doesn't.
35:10
Have any he doesn't have, I'm gonna.
35:12
Find something. I'm gonna find some.
35:13
I'm gonna find some. I'm gonna find.
35:14
Some, yeah, You know you have. It.
35:16
I will, I will. I'll find some because I want.
35:17
I want to. It doesn't look that great, but
35:20
I tried. But I want him to see it and.
35:22
Maybe trying's great. Pointers or something I wanna
35:24
learn? You tried.
35:24
Most people don't. I gotta.
35:25
Fucking try. I gotta work on the that's why
35:27
the smoothness of the mover. Shit, dude, it was awful.
35:30
Dude. That to me, was awful.
35:34
What? Yeah, dude, because it's just
35:35
like the the level you get, You just get better, you know what I
35:37
mean? So, like, your old shit's old
35:39
shit. I mean, it doesn't suck.
35:40
But to me, I just like, yeah, it could have been better.
35:42
People would see that roof as. Yeah.
35:44
Drift events and be like what the fuck?
35:46
It doesn't look like something that should be on a drift
35:47
exactly. It is nice.
35:48
Level Spark quality, yeah. It is a really good.
35:51
It's really good for. For a drift car that.
35:53
Yeah, for sure. And then and everyone would be
35:56
like, please don't flip this fucking car, Miyake.
35:58
Like crash it that. Would be the most like.
36:00
Crashing. Fine.
36:01
Don't flip it. That's all I care.
36:02
About just fucking just read it. Odd.
36:06
So. Here was like.
36:08
Hello. No, no, no.
36:09
You gotta send it to Malcolm. Oh.
36:12
Wait, sorry. No, I saw it.
36:14
Yeah, that's cool. What's wrong with that?
36:16
It wasn't like flat and even and shit like so I was just it's
36:19
like 2 dimensional, very like it's.
36:21
Awful. I have like a little.
36:22
Graveyard of old art. It's like in this bucket and I
36:25
kept it all and it's just it's terrible.
36:27
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am 'cause I wanna explain, I wanna
36:30
ask some questions on this shit 'cause I don't know how the fuck
36:32
any of this is done. It was.
36:34
I'm trying to find the one of the blue because when you.
36:37
Messed up one. Right.
36:38
That was the one I messed up. So when I was layering it the
36:40
first time on my valve coverage, 'cause I did like a some sort of
36:43
octagonal type of fucking design as well.
36:47
It like peeled off and I was like, why did it do that?
36:50
And I think it's because of the prep.
36:52
And then I was after that, I was like, OK, now I'm gonna fucking
36:55
you're really? It's always about your prep
36:56
work. So I was a prepper for like 6
36:59
years before I was even like a painter.
37:01
I was a full time prepper and that's why I did every fucking
37:04
day. That's all I did is just sand
37:06
shit. So I sanded it all for this dude
37:08
and this dude's been painting for like 30 years.
37:10
That's like and he's taught me a bunch of shit.
37:12
Yeah, that's like that's the proper way to apprentice and
37:15
like, really learn how to. Yeah.
37:17
So. So I was painting here and
37:19
there, but he was the full time painter and I was just prepping
37:22
every single day. Or Facebook Messenger, e-mail.
37:26
E-mail. Malcolm W.
37:27
So where was that at like? Same place.
37:30
Oh, same place, yeah. Cool.
37:31
So I worked this somewhere for a while, and then I worked with my
37:34
boss and then I told him if you ever quit and open up your own
37:37
place, I'll come. And I did.
37:40
Oh, so I was. I was his first and I and I've
37:43
been. I've been there ever since.
37:44
Holy shit dude, I didn't. Yeah, I've known my boss since
37:46
I've been 18. Oh my God, he's kind of sick.
37:49
I've known him literally half my life Almost.
37:51
Yeah, it's pretty wild. That makes a lot more sense now.
37:54
Yeah. Yeah 'cause you have a lot of
37:56
leniency at this place, so it makes.
37:58
Yeah, dude, Yeah. You got.
38:00
I mean, the leniency is not what it's all.
38:01
About, but my boss is just. I have no place.
38:04
Yeah, having a good boss, best guy ever.
38:06
That's sick. Yeah, Malcolm, you can relate,
38:08
right? Hello.
38:10
You're a great guy, Frank. All right.
38:12
Thanks, Malcolm. I just had to make sure, yeah.
38:15
He was paid to say that. They look at each other.
38:17
How's it going to his head? It blinked twice.
38:20
You're really good, yes? Yeah.
38:26
No, that hearing that you your early stuff wasn't like great
38:30
from the beginning. No, dude, how could it be?
38:32
I didn't know how to do it. I mean, I feel like nowadays I
38:34
just fucking. Waned it?
38:35
People expect such a like a now with tools like YouTube and shit
38:39
like that. Everyone expects people to know
38:41
shit like right off the rip because.
38:42
Everyone thinks they're a fucking painter.
38:44
Yeah, that's. You like?
38:45
I'm not really like. And how you get into it, you
38:47
know what I mean? It's just you just gotta go for
38:49
it. You never wanted to, like, do
38:50
your own thing, Ed's. I would love to.
38:53
I just. I mean you.
38:54
How much? Work how much work?
38:55
Yeah, I kinda do. But well, yeah, now that I yeah,
38:58
we just talked about how you do all this work.
39:00
It's a. Solid mix.
39:01
It's like I have two jobs in a sense.
39:03
Damn 'cause you basically do your own thing.
39:05
You you also paint random shit like.
39:08
Yeah, I paint art. Yeah, mirrors random things.
39:11
Yeah, found a mirror in the garbage yesterday.
39:13
Shit like that, yeah. Anything and you just paint
39:15
over. Fuck.
39:15
It, yeah, I'll paint. Some shit on it I I do be
39:17
randomly. Like art.
39:18
That's all I've ever wanted to do was art.
39:20
And it just so happens that, like, I can translate my art
39:22
into something that, like, people want.
39:24
Yeah, like people want their bike painted and I'm willing to
39:27
do it well. To me, like a painter, you're
39:30
dropping something off that you want to look like, hey, I have
39:33
this, I want it to look like this.
39:35
And then you. As a painter.
39:37
I have the power to do that. To interpret that shit.
39:39
You have the power to do. That, but usually when people
39:40
come to me, they've already seen all my stuff, so they know what
39:43
I'm capable of. Yeah, but it wasn't always like
39:45
that. No, it still blows my mind.
39:47
People bring me shit. What?
39:50
Dude. Who am I?
39:51
I'm a no one. And then, just like you'll paint
39:53
my bike, paint my beautiful bike I've been working so hard on.
39:56
Dude, I feel like. That means they value.
39:58
Your. Own.
39:58
Yeah, that's. But it's just weird.
39:59
They, like, trust you. You're like, you're gonna do it.
40:01
I'm like if you say so. Yeah, that mean that's That must
40:04
be such a weird feeling too. It's.
40:05
Odd. I mean, it's always been odd.
40:07
You're like the You're like the cherry on top right here.
40:09
Like this project could make. Or break a bike, you could make
40:12
this. Thing look like.
40:13
Literally, that is. Not that you would ever do that,
40:15
but. No, I could make her.
40:17
So I painted this one bike that it was a replica.
40:19
Love his dad's bike. The thing was the coolest thing
40:22
ever. Oh wow.
40:22
So that was a super cool challenge.
40:24
Yeah. That was you had to match it.
40:26
I had pictures. I had pictures just like on the
40:28
on the booth and I sat there. It looks pretty close.
40:31
It had sprayouts and everything, so it was.
40:33
A flame job or something? Or is it?
40:34
Yeah, it was a red bike with these like like just regular
40:38
flames on. You know, the Easy Rider movie?
40:40
Hell yeah. So you got the Captain America
40:41
bike and then the flame bike. So that bike had like the flame
40:44
bike style. Oh wow, that's what his dad
40:46
said. Little more.
40:46
Flashy. I think it's.
40:47
The Billy bike Making the Billy bike.
40:49
So that's what he did. That's cool, dude.
40:51
So I mean, that brings up something else, like when people
40:54
like when we. OK, here's a good example.
40:55
We brought Miyagi's car to you and we kind of were like we know
40:59
we want it to be red. Yeah, you just pick your red and
41:01
I'll paint it. But you kind of do what you
41:04
wanna do, and that's what we did.
41:06
That's what I feel like. That's what painters kind of
41:07
want, right? They kind of wanna do their own
41:09
thing. Something like you guys drift
41:10
cars. They're they're easy.
41:11
Yeah, they're not. OK, so.
41:13
Like they're not easy roof and everything like that.
41:15
The roof was just. I literally convinced she was
41:17
like you just let me just like the roof.
41:18
I wanna do a Low Rider roof. Let me just do it.
41:20
And you're like I'll do, I'll do it for this much and you're
41:22
like. OK, I knew Miyagi would want to
41:24
do it so. You know, well, you'd be a you'd
41:26
be. I could ask anything.
41:27
I just did it. Yeah.
41:28
I didn't ask anything. Did you?
41:30
Was like, well, I hope you fucking like it.
41:31
If not, well, it's done. But that's the kind of person
41:34
Miyagi is, though. Like he he's like, oh, Ed wants
41:36
to do some crazy shit on my roof like a Low Rider car.
41:38
I just. Try not to disappoint.
41:40
You know what I mean? But dude.
41:41
I'm Reds, so. Yeah, you know what?
41:42
He did the same, I think he mentioned flames.
41:44
He did. He mentioned flames.
41:46
I have a helmet that his helmet matches.
41:48
He did like one thing. Yeah.
41:50
He's like some flames would be some flames in it, that's when.
41:52
People do it, dude. They're just like, yo, I kinda
41:54
want this. And I want in the red family.
41:57
I'm like, all right, you're. Just people that are like I need
42:00
this, this, this, this. Oh, like.
42:02
Super specific. Not yet.
42:04
I'm trying to warn people on this podcast, you painters do
42:06
not want that. Like artists do not want that.
42:09
Yeah, most people just let me go, which is super cool.
42:11
I've never had anyone that's like 'cause.
42:12
That's something. I would do to someone, so I know
42:15
that you shouldn't do that. How?
42:16
How Like is there any time where you're you're like, fuck, like
42:20
this person was pretty dissatisfied, like with what I
42:23
did for them, like my vision for them, that would suck.
42:26
That makes me think you have an. Experience that make me, that
42:28
make me like, damn, like I guess my work wasn't like good enough
42:32
for that person so I got to like up it.
42:35
That's that's what I was trying. To put up the best quality shit
42:38
I can, yeah, yeah. I've never had anyone complain.
42:40
That's good. That's pretty dope, yeah.
42:42
I'm just, they just fucking hate their shit and they've told me.
42:44
Yeah, And they're like, yeah, fuck.
42:46
I'm trying to think of that too, like I'm relating it to the
42:48
shop. Right.
42:48
I'm trying to think this is probably something I I've
42:50
fucking done. Yeah, I mean.
42:52
I mean, there has, there has to be, but it doesn't have to be
42:54
like. Some people want to talk about
42:56
it, you know, They just wanna they just wanna be like, oh, I
42:58
don't really like this. All I'm gonna tell my I've.
43:00
Never had anyone. No, you would know.
43:02
'Cause I'll send pictures like during so I'll send you pictures
43:05
as I'm taping it and shit like that.
43:06
I'm like, do you, do you like this?
43:08
And then just. I've still never had anyone say
43:10
no. Like, even as you're like giving
43:12
them. Options.
43:13
I just feel like when you come to me, you know what you're
43:15
you're. Trusting the process.
43:17
My Portfolio, in a sense, yeah. Like, this is what I could
43:19
produce. So that's what you're looking
43:21
for, 'cause you go to a niche dude, you know what I mean?
43:23
Like, his flames. Everyone has different flames.
43:25
Like, if you do flames, they're gonna be different than mine.
43:27
Totally. Yeah, I did notice that too.
43:29
Everyone does have different. Flames.
43:30
Different flames. Yeah, it's kind of cool.
43:32
But I mean that you you said it best like you you're we see the
43:37
portfolio we I feel like as a consumer you would.
43:39
Just go to someone. Else, Yeah, I would, Yeah.
43:41
Why wouldn't I have just gone somewhere.
43:43
Why am I gonna go to you and then talk shit about you?
43:44
Because. I'm gonna come here to get some
43:46
drift shit. I'm not gonna go to Jiffy Lube.
43:47
And you're like. Yeah, yeah.
43:49
You know what I mean? I listen to this podcast called
43:51
the Fast Life Podcast. It's like a it's like a more
43:54
like a Dyna podcast or like a bagger shit.
43:58
But he paints, so that guy paints.
44:00
So I all all the time, like every week I'm listening to this
44:03
dude talk about paint work and shit like that.
44:04
So I get I'm getting like a good, I don't know like
44:09
experience through his. Like a saturation.
44:12
Yeah, of like the shit they go through and everything like
44:14
that, 'cause he really, he does like only bikes, so he does like
44:18
flame shit, all that stuff. He has his own style, stuff like
44:21
that. But he'll always be like, yeah,
44:23
dude, some people will hit me up, they'll be like, can you
44:25
paint my shit like this? And it's like someone else's
44:28
fucking Instagram page. Oh.
44:29
I've had that, so people send me stuff like you do this, I'm
44:31
like, I could do something like that.
44:33
I said. I'm not doing that.
44:34
Or you could just. Go to that, yeah.
44:37
Not gonna copy that guy's shit. Yeah, he's like, or you could
44:39
just go to that guy, like. Most of those dynabytes, they
44:42
have like a style dude. Yeah, So it's really hard to
44:44
like the panel. Style.
44:46
Thing How do you not everything's just, it's kind of
44:48
the same. I try to stay away from that.
44:50
Yeah, your shit's more chopper like.
44:53
Just the kind of, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
44:55
I like low ridery. It's like low, ridery 70s style
44:59
like mixture. Yeah, for sure.
45:01
Yeah, yeah, That's. That's kind of what I like.
45:03
Like the 70s chopper stuff, Low Rider stuff.
45:06
Yeah, I try to make simple, like less is always more in my
45:09
opinion. Yeah, try to just keep it clean
45:11
sparkly. Like that doesn't?
45:14
Have to be sparkly. It's just like.
45:17
No, there's also another. Process of flake it's like a
45:20
whole other. Fucking paint job.
45:21
There is a line. Like there's a line, but I mean,
45:23
I don't know. I'm picturing like that 70s bike
45:25
and like I think of like moon eyes.
45:28
Like I'm like the moon, no? So all the sparkly shit's cool.
45:30
Yeah, but within, I don't know, there's like.
45:33
AI feel like it's the. Size of the fucking flake.
45:35
Yeah, like if there's a fucking if, It's just too much.
45:37
I'm like, yeah, damn it looks like I just dropped the jar.
45:39
Glitter on this thing, then I'm like, OK, but if it's like real,
45:42
it's like almost metallic, it's like.
45:44
Yes. So this one dude showed me some
45:46
shit and it's like you spray like a 5050 flake.
45:48
So like you spray big flake and then you get really small one
45:50
because then it fills in all the holes like the oh wow, you know
45:53
what I mean? If you.
45:54
Stack it it. Fills in it's so it looks even
45:56
cooler. Dang.
45:57
So it probably looks like a Prism type of fucking.
46:00
It's just if it's it seems more covered, it's like covered more
46:03
with less flake because like you said, look you get the big ass
46:06
flake starts looking like a bass boat, you know it has a
46:08
different sparkle to it. And it kind of looks.
46:10
Cheesy like that, that Miyagi thing.
46:13
They were very small. That's what I was taking this.
46:15
Whole time. So it wasn't, like, overly
46:17
fucking like a bass boat. It was just very fine.
46:21
But then what's this stuff where it's like a circle that's
46:23
plating or or that's like leaf? Oh, they did leafing and then
46:27
that's the leashing shit that looks like a.
46:28
Fire truck. Oh yeah.
46:29
Can we can you walk me through this I'm sorry to.
46:31
Me dude. Dude.
46:32
I'm not even that great at it. I try to stay where you're from.
46:34
Would you at least know how the process is?
46:36
Yeah, it's like you put a glue down and you gotta wait until
46:38
that glue is like at a perfect, perfect tackiness where you
46:42
could like rub your finger on it and squeaks and you put your,
46:45
your, your, your your leaf down and then you press it down and
46:48
then you you spin it with like a high grit, like sandpaper.
46:52
I'm awful at it. People ask for it.
46:54
I'm like, how about no? That is a crazy look at Carlson.
46:59
Trying to figure out fucking weird.
47:01
I had no idea. That's even how that I didn't
47:03
either. I was like.
47:04
You know what I thought? I thought it was a fucking.
47:06
Piece of tinfoil. No, it's it's like.
47:08
It's like legit glue and then like, you stack a leaf on the
47:12
glue and then you spin it. My buddy AD pinstriping, he's
47:16
he's fucking awesome. He's tried to teach me.
47:18
I just can't. Do I thought that tool had like
47:20
some sort of Rotary maybe and then when you were gone when you
47:24
put? It on a screw gun.
47:24
It's just so you don't have to fucking sit there and do by
47:26
hand, so they just put it on a gun.
47:28
You did it to Miyagi's car, though, It looked pretty.
47:30
Decent, no? I use variegated leaf, so that's
47:32
a leaf with like other like metals mixed in so it looks all
47:35
like blue and greens and shit. That's cool.
47:38
How do you but then like you when you clear it like?
47:41
You clear over it, you're you're it's glue.
47:43
It's just gluing. It's like a fire truck.
47:46
You know, fire trucks. Happen but then but then the
47:47
leaf like. Yeah, the clear just goes right
47:50
over it. I don't know.
47:51
Yeah. If you feel it, you kind of feel
47:53
it like being. It's raised and everything,
47:54
right? Like it's another.
47:55
No by once you clear. It, yeah, But then I sand it all
47:58
again and then I re clear it. So you bury that shit?
48:01
Slow code over. It OK?
48:03
Yeah, yeah, I'm still confused, but Oh yeah, that shit.
48:07
OK, that shit there. You go Yeah, he's fucking
48:09
awesome at it. So like.
48:11
He's tried to teach me I suck. I'm fucking retarded.
48:13
Can you walk me through this again?
48:14
So like that gold, that gold part is, is that an item that is
48:19
on top of the paint or is that just like?
48:20
Go to, go to, go to. My page there.
48:23
And then there's one, like somewhere.
48:25
That's the bike I was talking about.
48:28
Yeah, that thing was. Jesus, dude.
48:31
Not a Ridge on that motherfucker.
48:33
That bike's beautiful, look at that.
48:34
That's like my favorite bike. Look at the gloss.
48:36
Look at the gloss. You see the, you see the.
48:37
Paint. That shit ain't not Ridge.
48:39
Nowhere, damn it. You might have to go keep going
48:42
down for. T Sport.
48:47
Dude, tons of cool shit on here. You get You get a lot of cool
48:50
work, dude. Yeah, helmets too.
48:53
You're not mad about it? You're not mad about it?
48:58
I'm trying to think a little. Did you do Joe Iano's bike too?
49:03
Or going. Did he do Joe's?
49:05
Try that one. He did his car, too at Jay ZX.
49:09
Nope, Nope. I lied to you.
49:10
What is it? What?
49:11
Is it hold faced lie? I was trying to.
49:12
There's a video of me laying down some leaf.
49:13
I just don't remember what that little.
49:15
Devil. Dude, maybe go back up.
49:17
Try that one. The one with Yes Sir, there you
49:20
go. So it's a glue down in between
49:22
there and then you lay the leaf down and then it pulls up and
49:26
that is. And then you take it.
49:27
Off, Yeah, that's glued on. And then make a clean, crisp
49:29
edge with that. And so you're just putting the
49:31
patterns. Whoa.
49:32
Dude, I wanna fucking try that. And then that's all you're
49:35
leaving right there. Yeah, Carl, you gotta you gotta
49:37
try this shit. Out.
49:38
Relax. That's my cat.
49:39
Take it easy. I'm gonna try it.
49:40
And my quiet nobody. I'm not doing this for you.
49:42
I just wanna learn how that's. Before the.
49:44
Clear. Obviously, yeah, before the
49:45
clear and then you clear over that shit.
49:46
But yeah, if you see how it's shiny, yeah you have to put the
49:49
the Guild down and then and then you wait a a certain amount of
49:51
time. For and then you just take it
49:52
off. Oh.
49:53
That looks so fucking fun, dude. Just YouTube, that shit.
49:56
Someone. Someone on YouTube will teach
49:57
you, yeah. That's cool, dude.
49:58
That totally looks like I want to fucking.
50:01
I know. Exactly.
50:01
What I want to do with that? That little devil.
50:03
You drew that Malcolm. Bring that little devil.
50:06
Oh, shit. My bad dude.
50:07

50:14
tattoo dudes. Yeah, that's hot.
50:16
Stuff used to be an old comic book, Okay.
50:18

50:20
You should get one earlier I. Got one, dude.
50:22
I like that guy. Damn.
50:24
Yeah, I want to get one too. Maybe.
50:25
I drew the boots and hat on that guy, though.
50:28
That's nice. I'll take So you just.
50:29
Yeah. So you just make art?
50:30
I just make art, dude. Yeah, I love art, dude.
50:32
If you. Next time you do some shit like
50:34
that, let me know, I'll. Buy would you?
50:35
I'll get a big ass mirror. I'm doing.
50:37
If it's a painting like a mirror, maybe dude.
50:39
Those swords. I want one.
50:40
I like that kind of shit. Now the only thing I'm not gonna
50:42
be able to use is a is a fucking.
50:44
What do you call it? A rolling fucking.
50:46
Rolling tray, Yeah, I I haven't made those in a while.
50:48
I. Have to use for that.
50:50
What rolling tree? He would always, he used to
50:53
always make rolling trees. Yeah, that's.
50:54
Fire. Which Carl would love.
50:56
I would definitely roll tobacco on it.
50:59
Like those little guys right there.
51:00
I gotta look. Little hot stuff dudes.
51:02
Yeah, those are cool. That's cool.
51:03
They're my favorite, the baby. They just look so cool, you
51:06
know? Yeah.
51:06
So that genre that's American traditional traditional type,
51:12
what do you call? It, yeah.
51:13
A lot of your stuff is traditional.
51:14
It's, yeah, it's just very like tattooy motorcycly.
51:18
But I feel like it. Gets cool up with you.
51:20
Get influence from a bunch of shit.
51:21
So it's kind of it's kind of cool like the colors are.
51:25
Yeah. You gotta be taking influence
51:26
from somewhere. Where where you I?
51:28
Don't know. You just be like.
51:30
That is a good question. Actually, that is a great
51:31
question. I don't know.
51:32
I think it's just the way I grew up.
51:33
I've just been around a culture my whole life.
51:36
That. I've been on a motorcycle like
51:37
my dad when I was a little kid just put me on the tank and he
51:40
was just bringing me to motorcycle shows and shit.
51:42
So you'd just be looking. Around car shows and just
51:44
everything. Taking it and my.
51:45
Dad has tattoos and stuff and. Yeah, you basically grew up in
51:49
it. Yeah, he was in a motorcycle
51:50
club for a little bit too, and like, I grew up around all this
51:53
stuff. My dad liked cars but wasn't
51:55
ever like they. It wasn't there wasn't like a
51:56
focus on something. So, like, you'd probably
51:59
experienced that and like now you're you're painting shit like
52:03
you make art because of. Drew and painted and stuff those
52:07
things as a kid too. All those like chopper shows on
52:10
TVI was like, yeah, that's cool. And I've always gravitated
52:12
towards the art of the stuff, you know what I mean?
52:14
Like the bikes paint and I'm like, oh that's cool.
52:16
So you've been drawing forever? Yeah, dude, my whole life.
52:18
Art, Art. Art is life.
52:19
Yeah, so that makes a lot of sense 'cause I was gonna ask you
52:22
like how'd you get into painting?
52:23
But if you've been drawing. Your whole.
52:24
No, I have paintings on there too.
52:26
Like, actual, Just regular paintings.
52:29
Yeah. I don't know.
52:29
I just really like art. It's just like that.
52:32
And riding my bicycle, you know what I mean?
52:33
Those two things, when you do it, when you do it, you're
52:35
you're doing it. You're not doing anything else.
52:37
You're not worrying about anything else.
52:39
You're not doing anything else. You're just you're there, put on
52:42
some good music and like, zone the world out for a little bit.
52:45
Yo, that's probably, yeah. I need more of that these days.
52:49
Yeah, dude, that. Same thing like riding my
52:51
bicycle is like my thick and favorite thing in the world.
52:54
How long you been riding bikes for?
52:55
My whole life like 6th grade. Wow.
52:59
That's cool, man. How many broken bones?
53:00
No, I'm just. Kidding.
53:02
Nah, a lot. Not that much.
53:04
I think I broke both of my feet, both of my thumbs.
53:06
You still ride to this day, though?
53:08
That's. Been all the time I rode.
53:09
I rode at the pump track the other day.
53:11
Dude, there's not a lot of knee left for.
53:14
Me either. I have a small group of friends
53:17
that still do it. I've been riding my same friends
53:19
since I've been like 13. Yeah, but you riding for your
53:22
entire life, like your bones and body are conditioned to do this
53:27
now I feel like compared to me and Frankie, if we tried to find
53:30
a bike right now, we would die. Yes.
53:33
Went to a trampoline park with my kid the one day and, like, I
53:36
was just fucking you. Probably going nuts, dude,
53:38
'cause like, I'm just used to this shit.
53:40
And then I saw some dad go on there.
53:41
Dude. Wrecked.
53:42
His knee the. Dude was out and I was like, I
53:44
don't know why you even thought you got that.
53:46
That is true. You just see other people do it
53:48
and you're like, oh, I got it. And you're like, well, like the
53:50
last time you jumped on a. Tramp.
53:51
You don't. If you don't use it, you'll lose
53:53
it, right? That's, yeah.
53:54
Because like Alex, Alex, he still rides his bike.
53:57
He just doesn't post anything or say anything, but he'll just go
54:00
ride it. Even though I said like, yo, I
54:01
want to go see you do this shit. Yeah, yeah.
54:04
But like Alex, Avila rides too still.
54:06
He needs his car painted by YouTube.
54:08
Alex is fucking amazing dude. I've wrote it Alex since I was a
54:12
kid and he's mad. Nonchalant about this like.
54:15
He he's like, super good. I had the pleasure of like, I
54:17
feel like now or a couple of years, me and Alex have gotten a
54:19
lot closer. And like, he sends us that part
54:22
that he was in. Oh yeah.
54:24
He's like, yeah, here's a part that I was in and I'm like.
54:27
Yeah, so he had his, like, he was like part of, like, the
54:29
Lakewood crew, you know what I mean?
54:30
Like the the crew are down here. And like, we had our whole
54:33
Hackastown crew. So it was like two different
54:35
things. But he was in that, like, group
54:37
of dudes who were like, really good dude.
54:39
And I was like, in the northern group of dudes who were like,
54:41
pretty all right, I'm sure. You I mean.
54:44
You know, we're pretty good too, but I mean, yeah.
54:46
Dude that. But like everybody.
54:48
Had their little group but. Yeah, I've known Alex's car is
54:50
crazy, dude. He's really good.
54:52
He'll take a spill in some of those.
54:53
And I'm like, yeah, that right there would have wiped me out.
54:58
I would have been gone. Yeah.
55:01
I can't do that shit. Man, yeah, man.
55:02
I mean, I'll try some dumb shit, but I'm good.
55:04
I know I'm gonna hurt you like it's.
55:06
I try. To tame it down.
55:07
I try not to get hurt. Don't.
55:08
Don't dude. Don't still get hurt, though.
55:11
Frankie I could kick flip, I know.
55:12
Yeah, no, just do it. Just do it.
55:13
I. Agree.
55:14
I I went out one day. There was a hot summer day.
55:17
This was a few weeks ago. Do you remember this when I got
55:19
hurt? Yeah, I remember you telling me.
55:21
But I was on that skateboard for an hour, bro.
55:23
I fucking. What made you do that?
55:25
It was sunny out. You were just like, I felt like
55:27
felt like going, yeah. You don't get that feeling?
55:31
Nah. It was just sunny out.
55:34
I I finished a side job early. I was like, yo, it's kind of
55:36
sunny. Javi, do you want to go
55:37
skateboarding? You've been talking about this
55:39
Javi Bikes? So what did you do?
55:41
How did you hurt yourself? I did a board side.
55:43
I landed the board side a little crooked and like, I'm talking
55:46
like I got on there and the weight of the board was, I love
55:48
rails. That's like the one thing that I
55:50
like. So I was like, I could
55:51
definitely still do this. Haven't ridden a skateboard in a
55:54
while and like, I got on and as soon as the end you're you're
55:59
just supposed to pivot. Make it straight.
56:01
Keep her going, dude. I landed like a little crooked
56:05
and that sent my knee forward crazy style.
56:08
And I fell like not because of I did the trick wrong, but because
56:12
I couldn't put any more weight on my knee.
56:14
So then I just laid down on the ground and I was like, well,
56:17
that was fun, dude. That was like, I just rolled
56:20
around for the rest of the day. Like I kicked and I like I just
56:23
pushed around as. That was the main reason I never
56:25
really liked I could commit to skateboarding.
56:28
Getting hurt 'cause it. Just sucks, 'cause I would think
56:30
about it, and I'm like, I don't. Even at a young age I was like,
56:34
I don't really want to get hurt. What as A at AI was going to say
56:37
at a young age that that's the part where?
56:39
But then I then I would like, that's gone.
56:40
I would bomb hills on a long board at like fucking crazy
56:43
speed and not think about it because I'm an idiot, a kid.
56:46
You know what I mean? Sure, you will get hurt, but in
56:48
the moment you're like, well, this is easy 'cause I'm not
56:50
doing some crazy shit, I'm just riding.
56:52
You might get hurt. You you can easily.
56:54
But I didn't, luckily. But I'm saying like with with
56:56
like fucking dropping it in a halfpipe.
56:59
I was like, Nah, I'm probably, I'm probably gonna get hurt
57:02
immediately when I do that. Nah.
57:04
Dude, I tried that you. See everyone dropping the first
57:06
time and they just fucking eat you?
57:08
Yeah. So I was like, I don't know,
57:10
man, I don't know. It's.
57:10
Scary. All that's just scary.
57:12
Yeah, but it's good to do it. Hell yeah.
57:14
Just like push. Through, not just.
57:16
I love it. I'll still get hurt.
57:17
I don't care. Yeah, go for gold.
57:19
But there's like a limitation. I know my limitation.
57:21
I'm like, well, I can't do that today.
57:23
Yeah, but there's probably a bag of other tricks that you're
57:26
like, oh, OK, you know what? I'll just comfortably.
57:28
But but The thing is, I think I learned it all as a kid.
57:30
So I'm like, I'm comfortable. I mean, I'm better now than I
57:33
was. You just keep doing it.
57:34
Yeah. It's just like anything.
57:35
You just get better when. You do it.
57:36
I mean, I was going to say it's kind of like anything.
57:38
Say anything even with drifting or something like I haven't
57:40
drifting in a while. If I get in a car, I know I can
57:42
do certain things, but no problem.
57:44
Like I'll go hit on ramp and not even think about it.
57:46
Yeah, I mean. But like other people, they'll
57:49
be like, are you out of your fucking mind, I mean.
57:50
Yeah, that's me cuz to me an on ramp is like I crashed tons.
57:55
We. Both doing it.
57:56
Yeah, we both. Drift I crashed tons of on
57:58
ramps, dude. Like I don't like on.
58:00
Ramps like I'll get in your car. Always.
58:02
Go hit that on ramp. I know you would.
58:04
I'm gonna hit that on right with my CRV.
58:05
Does that shit in a Chevy dude not your Moto?
58:08
I did. Drift in my Chevy but.
58:09
You used to do it a lot and now look what happened.
58:12
Don't we say it on the podcast? Don't say it on the podcast, OK?
58:15
Yeah, I blew the trans up, yeah. The trails.
58:18
Finally blew. Up, oh, Chevy Gal.
58:21
But we're getting the hook up right now, so.
58:23
Probably by the time that you guys listen to this, that thing
58:26
is gonna be back on the road. Maybe.
58:27
Yeah, dude, Chevy mechanics are all dude American truck
58:32
mechanics. I was talking to this guy Jeff
58:33
today. He was like, he's like.
58:35
I'll have it done in a week and A and.
58:36
A day he's like, I'll do it, man.
58:37
But honestly, you could just pull that shit out in like an
58:39
hour. I'm like, dude, putting that
58:42
truck on the lift is gonna make me want to kill myself.
58:44
I don't know about even touching it.
58:45
Like, dude no. I feel like it'd be easier.
58:48
Sketchy dude, what is sketchy about?
58:50
It's the size of the building. It's so.
58:52
Long. You're the one that wanted that
58:53
one. Like you put it on the lift and
58:55
you have to, like, put a little Jack under it.
58:56
All this shit. Like yo, it's, it's.
58:59
Slight paint. Yeah.
59:00
It's yeah dude dude. OK to that.
59:03
Yeah. That's that's also why it's.
59:04
My own car, since it breaks. That's about it.
59:07
That's also. But even in that I don't even
59:08
do. Yeah, like I'd rather with
59:10
someone. Else but you could though.
59:11
I couldn't. If you had to, I'd.
59:13
Rather not. Yeah, that's also why I I've
59:15
been trying to turn down like mechanic work.
59:18
I don't like it as much as like painting.
59:20
Painting is like if you become a painter.
59:22
I'm like, yo, this is it's so fun.
59:23
This is better. So you kind of find your thing
59:25
that in in at least the Automotive World let's say that
59:28
you. I think it's just easy for me
59:29
now. Yeah, it's not easy.
59:31
But you know what I mean? Like, I just know it.
59:33
I just know. It right now.
59:34
And I feel like I'm better at it than.
59:37
Just gotta keep doing. It being a mechanic dude, which?
59:40
Which one you have more passion for, you know?
59:42
Yeah, that's where it's at. Like if you like it, you're
59:44
gonna be better at it. Here's why it's.
59:46
Down. Here's why I like the painting
59:48
too. Remember when we talked about
59:50
how you you you have something ugly and then all of a sudden
59:53
it's nice and you're kind of in charge of that dude when it's
59:55
nice and you have a drift car like my buddy Ethan.
59:59
His car is multi colored as shitty.
1:00:00
Actually looks exactly like Alex's car because it's it's a
1:00:03
racing line kit has the origin over it's got to bring.
1:00:05
Alex's car to you. I'm trying to get him to do it,
1:00:07
but I. Think I've talked to him a
1:00:08
couple. Of times.
1:00:09
Oh, you probably did, yeah. No.
1:00:10
Yeah. He he's like in that stage where
1:00:12
it's like, yeah, I want to finish my car, but like.
1:00:16
I get it. You don't want to pay me.
1:00:17
He's got life. But I got.
1:00:18
He's got life trying. To do I.
1:00:19
Feel it? Yeah.
1:00:21
He's got life stuff. The drift car isn't.
1:00:23
But I remember the list. I said it to Alex the other day
1:00:24
when we were hiking. I was like, yo, if you ever sell
1:00:26
that fucking car and he looked at me, he's like, I will never
1:00:28
sell my car. I was like, damn, that's cool.
1:00:32
So, so I was like, all right, so he said it.
1:00:35
He's like, dude, I'm not. He's like, I love drifting.
1:00:37
I'm not doing it right now. But yeah dude, but when
1:00:40
understandable. When you see the cars drifting
1:00:42
and shit and they have good pain and like knowing that, like even
1:00:45
I know my car right now, isn't that great painting 'cause it
1:00:48
was like my first paint job ever.
1:00:49
But knowing that I did that and it like looks OK.
1:00:51
No, I get what you're saying. It's like such a cool.
1:00:53
It's like when you work on a fucking car.
1:00:54
It's like, I mean, Chris could attest to this shit.
1:00:56
Like you do all this work and then it drives away.
1:00:58
It drives away, no. One really sees it.
1:01:00
You know what I mean? Like depending on what you did.
1:01:01
Yeah, I'm always nervous as shit when I give people their cars
1:01:03
back. I'm like, yo, I know that
1:01:04
there's a little something here. Did they did?
1:01:06
They see. It.
1:01:08
Obviously not. All right, cool.
1:01:09
That was out the door. I just disclaimer people right
1:01:12
now that when they bring it to me, I'm like, hey look man, I'm
1:01:14
still learning, but I will do my very best in this learning
1:01:17
process to give you his best. Yeah, all I say.
1:01:19
I mean he I just said it to me, too.
1:01:20
Don't even say that. Just just bullshit him, bro.
1:01:22
Just do it. Knock it right away what I was
1:01:24
going to say. I got I got to.
1:01:25
Tell him like I was just an honest guy, like.
1:01:27
That John, I remember painting Josh's car for the first time.
1:01:29
He's like, yo, you paint cars, right?
1:01:30
I was like, fuck yeah dude, I've never painted a car.
1:01:34
Yeah, dude, for. Real.
1:01:35
I swear to God I like. I only painted parts and he and
1:01:38
he wanted that shit black and I was like, yeah.
1:01:39
Dude. Oh my God, I got you.
1:01:42
Oh my God, I. Painted the thing.
1:01:43
That's hilarious. Does he know that?
1:01:44
No. Well, he knows now.
1:01:48
Yeah, dude, he's like the first full car I've ever painted.
1:01:51
Sometimes I'll get a message from Josh about like something
1:01:53
that we talked about on here. I know he always texted.
1:01:55
It usually is about you. He's like, Frankie's never going
1:01:59
to do that. He's been talking about that for
1:02:00
years and I'm like, I knew it. Yeah, that's funny, but I hope
1:02:02
Josh hears that and goes Josh. Josh has always just dropped his
1:02:06
car off and then I'm like, it's this much he's like, OK and
1:02:10
that's it. And that's the end of the story.
1:02:11
That's it, Josh. Skates though I.
1:02:13
Any like, me paint his car fucking pink, bro.
1:02:16
Oh yeah, that pink was my pick. That's my favorite one, That
1:02:19
Magenti pink. I was like, yo, let me paint
1:02:21
this color on your car. Oh wait, the the.
1:02:24
Darker one or the first one? No.
1:02:26
So he went, I think he went black, black, lavender, pink.
1:02:31
OK, so lavender. So you did the the second?
1:02:33
Yeah, you did the one after the lavender, OK?
1:02:35
The one that Frankie didn't like.
1:02:37
It's OK. It was like a no.
1:02:39
It was like a bright pink it. Was like a weird looking the
1:02:42
lavender though. He likes the lavender.
1:02:44
That's the lavender. That's why I went back to
1:02:45
lavender. He wanted like, this purple.
1:02:48
I know, I know he could, like. Find his purple, but the
1:02:50
lavender was cool. And then he went back to
1:02:52
lavender. But yeah, he let me paint his
1:02:54
car fucking pink, bro. It's why?
1:02:55
Can't I think I? Picked that color.
1:02:56
I was like, yeah, let me do this.
1:02:57
It was cool. It had this really cool flip
1:02:59
flop, too. It was like in some lights it
1:03:01
was purple. Yeah, in some lights it was
1:03:02
pink. It was a really cool Pearl.
1:03:04
I do. Remember that now.
1:03:06
I randomly just picked this color for just something and I
1:03:09
use it all the time. Yeah, if you look at my page.
1:03:12
It's like it's it's in. Stuff.
1:03:13
Do you remember at all picking Frankie's color?
1:03:17
Oh no. We had a long conversation about
1:03:19
this because. Frankie's like a.
1:03:21
Gallon of paint. That's for for his car that I
1:03:24
ordered. He's like, no, I didn't want
1:03:26
that color. I was like I have a.
1:03:27
Gallon of paint. So, so here's what happened.
1:03:30
Here's what happened. I get my car paint.
1:03:31
It was like a big misunderstanding to a degree and
1:03:34
I was like. No, no, just to just to clarify,
1:03:36
this is, yeah, this is the, this is the.
1:03:38
Yeah, it was like a miscommunication between you and
1:03:40
I. You were telling me I don't want
1:03:42
this color, but in a way we I I thought it was a different
1:03:45
variant of the color. But you're like, no, I don't.
1:03:48
I don't want that color. I'll tell you what happened.
1:03:49
I mean, this is exactly. Yeah, there's.
1:03:51
Josh Oh, yeah. And that's and it's faded down
1:03:53
to like a a. It's like a.
1:03:55
It's like a. Yeah, I.
1:03:55
Remember. I I'm seeing the color on the
1:03:57
bottom and that's what I remember the.
1:03:59
Color on the bottom. Yeah.
1:04:00
So it's actually like a faded, so it fades from that pink into
1:04:04
the red. Definitely cool for a drift car.
1:04:05
Because he said I want, he's like, can you do a fade?
1:04:07
I was like, yeah, fucking do fade.
1:04:09
That's easy. Because he thought it was gonna
1:04:10
cost more. And I was like, bro, I'm just
1:04:11
gonna fucking fade it out. Yeah, I think his side skirt is
1:04:15
totally red. Yeah, definitely.
1:04:17
And then it's from, you could kind of see it where the Fender
1:04:20
is and like wherever the line is all the way across.
1:04:22
Yeah, right there, all the way across.
1:04:24
It's all red straight down. It's all blended down.
1:04:26
And once the liveries on it too, it makes it even.
1:04:28
Better. That was cool.
1:04:29
All your guys cars look fresh as shit when they're done.
1:04:31
I always try to put them together in the parking lot so I
1:04:33
could see them real quick. Yeah, yeah.
1:04:35
Don't never look this fresh. We always try, dude.
1:04:39
It's not your. Fault.
1:04:39
It's just it's part. Of the fucking thing we would
1:04:41
always Ed would always paint our at least me.
1:04:44
My car would always be done like the night before final bout.
1:04:46
So we'd put it all. Together in the cars, it's
1:04:48
always like, so fucking close. You guys cut it close all.
1:04:51
We put Tom's car together on a trailer once, like his bumper.
1:04:53
He showed up with his car and put his bums in the car.
1:04:55
See you later. God bless.
1:04:56
'Cause that you're the fact that you're even willing to to help
1:05:00
in that situation is. Don't care dude, You guys are
1:05:02
paying me. Yeah, I mean, she.
1:05:05
For sure. But fuck, what was I gonna say?
1:05:09
Oh my my car story. OK, so I go to Ed.
1:05:11
So for those that don't know. Yeah, this is this is Frankie's
1:05:15
car we're talking about. Now the silver.
1:05:16
For those that don't know, my car's cursed.
1:05:18
It always ends up. A little.
1:05:20
It's still green too, right when we were done.
1:05:22
It looks by the by the way, it don't know.
1:05:24
It doesn't look as green when I walk not.
1:05:25
A single bit slow down. Let me go down.
1:05:27
There. Slow down, Ed.
1:05:28
All right here. So it always ends up.
1:05:30
Remember all this, man? Snow down, Snow down.
1:05:32
So we wanna get another Red Bull.
1:05:33
You want one? No.
1:05:34
All right, they're little. What time is it?
1:05:36
What time is it? Wait, yeah, maybe I shouldn't
1:05:38
have 1/8 I'm. I'm I'm right?
1:05:42
So like we painted it once or twice or three times, then I had
1:05:46
someone else paint it. So it's like 4 paint jobs and
1:05:50
that was within five years. By the way, that literally.
1:05:54
You're getting a paint job a year.
1:05:55
Pretty much. That paint code kad fucking
1:05:58
sucks. That is green.
1:06:00
Everything you spray is. Green KAD is not the last color,
1:06:03
that's. The hell is Katie?
1:06:05
Yes, it was 'cause I yeah, 'cause I reordered it, 'cause
1:06:08
you were like, this is the color that was on there, and it was
1:06:10
green. I don't want green.
1:06:12
So it was like you painted it twice, didn't you?
1:06:13
No, I paint it one time. I just have a gallon of paint.
1:06:17
So I painted it once and then you said I don't want green, so
1:06:21
I. Ordered.
1:06:22
The oh, I I remember the colors. Sucks.
1:06:24
I still painted on not your color, but on cars KAD, there's
1:06:28
like fucking 15 chips bro. And they're all like green.
1:06:30
They're my. Car.
1:06:31
Twice. Not once, I really think you
1:06:34
did. And the first time was KAD.
1:06:37
No, I swear to God dude, it's KADI.
1:06:39
Think. It's like me.
1:06:40
Over here, it's like a. Silver, but it has a very green
1:06:44
tone to it. Twice I.
1:06:46
Don't remember this? I really think you did because I
1:06:48
I was way too comfortable with dropping my car off the second
1:06:51
time like it felt normal. You know what I mean?
1:06:53
I Yeah, you did. You did.
1:06:56
So here's what I think happened. And you tell me you might be
1:06:58
right. Yeah, You painted it, KAD.
1:07:00
That's actually it right there. But you can't see it obviously.
1:07:02
But that's, that's when it was that color.
1:07:04
You could tell by like the livery.
1:07:05
That's the easiest way. So.
1:07:08
So you painted it that color and it.
1:07:11
Yeah, there's KAD. It's a GTR color.
1:07:12
Yeah. So that color is a dark.
1:07:15
So it's metal. Like that, but it has a green
1:07:17
fucking hue to it, yeah. And it just has, you can see the
1:07:20
green, that's the color I was looking at.
1:07:22
Yeah, which a lot of does it a lot.
1:07:24
Of Grays do have that. So then so the last time that
1:07:27
was. Like, worse than anyone's,
1:07:28
though. So look up bring up a S15
1:07:30
Silver. Oh, not this shit.
1:07:33
We had an S15 in here. It was the same silver.
1:07:35
Compared to two, that's what your car is now.
1:07:37
So I yeah. I I only think I paid your car.
1:07:39
Once. Nah dude, you paid it twice.
1:07:41
No 'cause I I have a gallon of KD.
1:07:43
But look up this color code Malcolm.
1:07:44
But I think we compared. This OEM color code not.
1:07:47
Even this had a hue of green to it.
1:07:49
So that's where I'm going. Yeah, yeah, I remember this now.
1:07:51
So I think I I did it once, 'cause I do have a gallon of
1:07:54
fucking paint. So I told you I was like, this
1:07:56
car, this car's cursed. You're like, no, it's not.
1:07:58
They're just painting it wrong. I'm like, no, it's cursed.
1:07:59
You're like, no, it's not. And then I remember.
1:08:01
When I picked it up from you, you you looked at me.
1:08:02
You go. It's kind of green.
1:08:05
Yeah, I remember. I was like, bro.
1:08:07
It's just green. And I was like, dude, I told you
1:08:09
already. Like, I like, I know what to
1:08:11
expect. But OK, that car right there on
1:08:13
the left, it's pewter. It's pewter silver or something.
1:08:15
I remember this. No, no, go down.
1:08:18
You fucked. Yeah, that one.
1:08:19
This is, this is the color that everyone sees an S15.
1:08:22
Like when they see it in person, they're like, yeah, that's
1:08:24
silver. It's like a darker silver,
1:08:26
whatever. That was the color I was going
1:08:27
for. We got it back and it was like
1:08:29
it was that color, but. It looks like that I just saw.
1:08:32
It looks like that color. But there's a shade of green, we
1:08:35
call it. We call it Minty Silver.
1:08:36
That's what I call it now. I actually like it now by the
1:08:38
way, so. He loves it.
1:08:39
But. No, I just remember because when
1:08:41
we painted it, because I did get the KADI, remember ordering it
1:08:44
right, you were just like, fuck, I don't want green.
1:08:46
So I ordered a variant of that. I was like, yo, bro, just give
1:08:49
me something that's not green. Yeah.
1:08:50
And then I got the paint. I was like, yeah, let's do it.
1:08:52
And you're like, no, we're going to do this one.
1:08:54
I was like, wait. I was like, wait, what?
1:08:56
That's what this is your unsatisfied customer, right?
1:08:59
Here the night before and you're like, I didn't want that.
1:09:02
I was telling you I didn't told you I didn't want that because
1:09:04
it was green and I was like. I will punch Ricky.
1:09:07
And what are you talking about, bro?
1:09:09
OK, if that happened, it was the first time, 'cause now it's that
1:09:11
pure silver. Yeah, and that's what and that's
1:09:13
what we. Painted, which is that one.
1:09:15
So we. Almost painted your car that.
1:09:16
Fucking green. But then.
1:09:17
But then I remember you sent me photos.
1:09:19
And I was like, in the booth, it was like, yo bro, this shit
1:09:22
looks green. It didn't look as green outside,
1:09:23
though. In the booth it looked green.
1:09:25
It looked good either way, but then.
1:09:27
You're like, hey, it's green. I'm like fucking.
1:09:28
I don't know what to. Tell you yeah, he was like,
1:09:31
picked your. Color, I don't know.
1:09:32
And I was like. Dude, I'm telling you, it's
1:09:33
curs. Anyway, so whatever years go by,
1:09:36
I actually within within the first.
1:09:38
Paint something again for you. I don't.
1:09:40
Know. If a bumper.
1:09:41
Maybe I just painted parts. Yeah, just arguing.
1:09:43
Over. From back from over here, I'm
1:09:46
like, God damn, they're arguing. The same person is arguing with
1:09:49
each other's crazy. So dude.
1:09:52
So. Like I order you green.
1:09:53
No. Yeah, I did.
1:09:54
No, I didn't. Two months.
1:09:56
Or. Less.
1:09:56
A while ago though. With within two months or less,
1:09:59
I was like, I fucking love my car.
1:10:02
Like I was like, I love this color.
1:10:03
I like the green aspect. It was weird.
1:10:06
It went from like, totally. It's definitely not as green as
1:10:08
Kade either. That color sucks.
1:10:09
You know that color sucks. It's fucking dark.
1:10:11
Dark color suck. It's something about it the.
1:10:13
Silver. It was like silver, but it had
1:10:15
like a minty. Feel to it, legit brothers.
1:10:18
Like when I pull up a car on the computer, there's like 15 chips,
1:10:21
15 different variants of that green.
1:10:24
This is what I mean of that, of that silk.
1:10:25
Yeah, there's something about that paint where it's green, so
1:10:27
I don't know why. So.
1:10:29
When you're talking about, sorry, hold on, When you're
1:10:30
talking about chips, you're talking about like the, the
1:10:32
thing that. Tells you spray out chips.
1:10:33
So, yeah, so. I'll.
1:10:34
I'll have the computer at work. So then every car has a color
1:10:38
code. You look up the color code on
1:10:39
the computer and then the computer gives you Like say they
1:10:42
make five different variants of this same color.
1:10:45
One could be bluer, lighter, coarser, There's they're all
1:10:47
different. Then you pull out your chips,
1:10:48
then you have your, your, your deck, and then it has like spray
1:10:51
outs already of whatever that according color is.
1:10:53
And then you then you pick the color out to the car visually by
1:10:56
your eye, 'cause every car is painted differently, 'cause
1:10:59
sometimes your car is painted like your whole car is painted
1:11:01
here, but then the bumpers are painted somewhere else.
1:11:03
So if you ever look at cars like, bumpers really don't match
1:11:06
sometimes, 'cause they're just painted somewhere else.
1:11:08
So there's different variants and different chips of the one
1:11:10
color. I learned.
1:11:11
That one there's like, yeah, so that that one, there's like 15
1:11:14
of them. You just pull out all the chips.
1:11:15
It's the same color code, but it's just like maybe it has a
1:11:19
like three more blops of. Blue and there's no one.
1:11:21
Has silver or there's no LIKE. Sub category it's just that's
1:11:25
the color code. Here are the variants.
1:11:27
Yeah. So they have like a standard.
1:11:28
So this one's a standard. So this one says, like, this is
1:11:31
what you you take the chip, put it to the car, and then you
1:11:33
could guess everything else off that.
1:11:35
So you hold your standard up to the car and you're like well the
1:11:37
car looks more greener and then they have like a chip that could
1:11:40
potentially say more greener or like the this lake could be a
1:11:43
little bit more tight a little more coarser and though they
1:11:45
have a may have a chip for. But for normies?
1:11:47
They have chips for nothing and then you just like.
1:11:49
Yeah, for normies like us. Normies.
1:11:51
We can't find that information, so you're just like, I want this
1:11:54
color. Code so Frankie just gets green.
1:11:56
Yeah, so they just pick the green ones every.
1:11:58
Time. No, He gets so.
1:11:59
He gets chip numbers. And I'm like, I'm like, OK, I
1:12:03
don't think this was it, but it but it came out cool.
1:12:06
Whatever. Yeah, I remember.
1:12:08
It was like it was green in the booth, bro.
1:12:10
Two years later or three years later?
1:12:11
No, Four years later. The lights.
1:12:13
Probably made it look. So green the lights in the dude.
1:12:16
Sometimes in the booth things don't look as they should in
1:12:20
natural lighting. Your booth is like as close to
1:12:22
natural lighting as possible. But here we go.
1:12:23
So four years later, an S15 schedules an appointment.
1:12:27
Oh, you put it right. Next I remember.
1:12:28
I think you sent me a picture like car comes.
1:12:30
In bro did send you a photo car. Comes in, I'm like, OK, there it
1:12:34
is, Pewter silver. That's the color my car was
1:12:36
supposed to be. But I'm looking at it.
1:12:37
I'm like that's silver comes, comes in, goes on the alignment
1:12:39
rack. The trunk was repainted.
1:12:42
It's the exact same color as my car.
1:12:44
Yeah. So it's just a.
1:12:45
Variation. It was just a variation of the
1:12:47
color. I was like, dude, that's crazy.
1:12:49
How it was literally the exact same color and it did not match
1:12:53
the car at all. But it was the exact same color
1:12:55
as my car. Gotcha.
1:12:56
So fucking weird. These variations are so fucking.
1:12:59
I'm just going to notice. Who makes the paint?
1:13:01
You know? Yeah, you could pick out the
1:13:02
chip. Who's going to make the paint?
1:13:03
Did they care that day? And then I was worried
1:13:05
afterwards that you wouldn't be able to match that again,
1:13:07
because I was like, I actually like this color now.
1:13:09
But like I think, I think we matched.
1:13:11
It yeah, 'cause you did a front bumper for me and it matched
1:13:14
fine. So I was like, all right, cool,
1:13:15
we're good. Yeah, usually they're they're
1:13:16
pretty freaking close. Yeah, 'cause I actually like
1:13:18
that color now. Like, if it was pure silver, the
1:13:20
real I probably wouldn't even like it.
1:13:23
So I was like, this is pretty sick because drift cars are
1:13:25
supposed to be unique and I'm always boring, so that kind of
1:13:29
made my. So we pick silver.
1:13:31
That car made my that color, made it a little bit more
1:13:33
unique. You know what I mean, 'cause I'm
1:13:35
usually just boring. That's like the Chevy I'm paying
1:13:37
the dude pick silver. I'm like with silver.
1:13:39
I know. I love silver cars.
1:13:40
We're gonna pick. Silver's so elegant.
1:13:42
Sometimes, though, like, it's silver, 'cause you can see.
1:13:46
I don't know, I saw the silver earlier on a Mercedes where the
1:13:49
silver had like, some blue in it.
1:13:50
I was on the phone with, like, all the rest of our buddies and
1:13:52
I was like, fuck. The silver's kind of hitting
1:13:55
real hard, like the sun's hitting it, hitting it where
1:13:58
like I see a little bit of blue more than normal and I was like,
1:14:00
fuck, that's probably so annoying to spray.
1:14:02
Jeep Wrangler and Dodge, the silver they have, I don't know
1:14:06
what it is. It's just a PS2.
1:14:08
It's just like that. It's just silver.
1:14:09
It's just a basic silver, but dude, it's got no green in it.
1:14:12
Yeah. So that's, it's silver.
1:14:13
So it's essentially it's like it's silver, absolutely.
1:14:16
Just like you mix it, it's you put silver with silver and make
1:14:19
silver, yeah. Yeah, I love that.
1:14:21
Yeah. And that got Malcolm.
1:14:23
Yeah dude, it's just what it is. It's just.
1:14:24
Put a little silver with silver, it's just.
1:14:26
Coarse flake. That's all it is.
1:14:27
But when you have like a basic like color like that, I feel
1:14:30
like the rest of the car needs to.
1:14:33
Dude, favorite one of my favorite silver cars.
1:14:35
Yeah, you need to do something. Else looking silver.
1:14:36
Not yours, but like, maybe the wheels maybe.
1:14:39
It's Dave from Toki Factory. Oh.
1:14:41
Yeah. You know why though, right?
1:14:43
Was it because there's black vinyl on it?
1:14:46
What? Silver car, right with black
1:14:49
vinyl, dude. What are you talking about,
1:14:50
black vinyl? Delivery.
1:14:52
Oh. Dude, the black makes it like
1:14:55
stand. It's just the contrast.
1:14:57
Is just. So yeah, I know what you're
1:14:58
talking about. Yeah.
1:14:59
I really want to do a car like that one day with just a I know
1:15:02
another fucking silver car, but silver and then a.
1:15:05
Black and no silvery. You guys cover your cars in
1:15:08
fucking stickers anyway? I know, but you're like.
1:15:10
This sick paint job. And then you just put this
1:15:12
monster graphic on them. Ours are even painted.
1:15:15
Ours are based. Theirs are just words.
1:15:16
That's why I'm. Down the Front Street cars are
1:15:18
fucking insane. I signed up.
1:15:19
They're cool. They're.
1:15:20
Cool. They look good.
1:15:20
Yeah, they're cool as shit. They hide, they hide.
1:15:23
You know the mediocre paint. I remember that the paint the
1:15:25
damage I. Remember, like, Josh's 1/4 was
1:15:27
like, I painted it and I was like, fuck, I should have fixed
1:15:30
that And I just did and and then he's like, oh good, the sticker
1:15:33
covered it. I was like, hell yeah.
1:15:35
But the thing with I felt. Awful about that one, actually.
1:15:37
I feel bad to put stickers on the fresh paint.
1:15:39
I would be like, oh. That's whatever, dude.
1:15:41
You're just you're sliding into a.
1:15:43
Wall I know, but man, it it just looks so nice sometimes.
1:15:45
After you. Paint.
1:15:46
The best part about liveries like theirs is covering the
1:15:49
damage. Like when they when they have
1:15:51
the whole car new. Yeah, obviously it looks good.
1:15:53
But then, like, they'll go drift and beat the shit out of them
1:15:55
and crash those cars. They're not.
1:15:58
Always. Back together and the car looks
1:16:00
fine. Like, it really doesn't look
1:16:02
bad. Like 'cause it's all delivery is
1:16:04
just like blending. All those cars look good, like
1:16:05
when you first start. Yeah, like, I think that's the
1:16:07
idea. It's like a skateboard.
1:16:09
What does that one show you? Like?
1:16:10
They go to the front, St. dudes go to where it's just like a
1:16:12
style show, including. Probably just final.
1:16:14
Balance. Yeah, maybe that's Yeah, 'cause
1:16:16
I know, like their their paint, like matters.
1:16:18
Yes. Yeah, so I always paint Josh's
1:16:21
car like before that, so it's like the freshest.
1:16:23
And August, that shit's going to be right there being.
1:16:26
More like September 1st, but yeah.
1:16:27
September 1st you're going. To be.
1:16:30
No. Fucking time.
1:16:30
No, it's like right before. The event is usually that.
1:16:33
First week of. September, dude.
1:16:34
There was one the last car I painted for Josh.
1:16:36
I painted the car, he took the car and to finish the car and
1:16:39
then I finished the parts and then he picked up the parts and
1:16:42
then he left. It was like.
1:16:43
Oh, I remember that. It was.
1:16:44
Here. Right.
1:16:44
It was right there. Yeah, I.
1:16:46
Think we were doing the limit. And then you guys stickered it,
1:16:48
like super late at night. Oh yeah, it was 5 in the morning
1:16:50
and then we it was 5 in the morning and then we loaded it
1:16:52
and went to Formula Drift. That was tight one that day.
1:16:55
That was a tight one. And Josh's car was the booth
1:16:58
car. That was the first time that
1:17:00
pink shit came out. Yeah, that was the pink.
1:17:01
One that was the pink one, Yeah, that's when he took the car and
1:17:05
like, you guys finished it and then I finished the parts.
1:17:08
Yeah, Josh dropped his car off and then went home.
1:17:10
That was cool. Damn it, Josh.
1:17:13
I'm pretty tight. Like scheduling.
1:17:15
What the fuck? Oh yeah, like you guys cars
1:17:17
sometimes. Yeah 'cause we're idiots, Yeah,
1:17:19
for some reason we don't. They, I mean, Frank, you love
1:17:22
stress, dude. Like, and I'm over here thinking
1:17:24
in my head, I'm like, why didn't you guys, like, do that?
1:17:28
Like I know a month. Before.
1:17:29
Yeah, like right now we're we're actually, we're actually living
1:17:31
through it right now. Forming.
1:17:32
The What do you? Talk to month and we don't have
1:17:34
anything ready. That's.
1:17:37
Yeah. Fuck.
1:17:37
And we're living through it right now.
1:17:38
That is. Yeah, you're experiencing it in
1:17:41
real time. You know, not me.
1:17:42
Yeah. So we'll see what happens.
1:17:44
Yo Ed you you just be cool and that's why bro like you.
1:17:50
He's chill. Yeah.
1:17:51
Yeah, he's chill. That's a paint thing.
1:17:53
That's an artist thing. I gotta level down.
1:17:56
I'd be fucking up here, you're. Crazy.
1:17:58
I'm I'm not chilling all the time.
1:17:59
No, I'm not strong inside. Dude, yeah, like I if I'm.
1:18:02
That's why I feel like in my buddy Diego, he's like a good
1:18:06
influence on me with this 'cause he's like able to support
1:18:08
himself painting like and doing shit like he made the leap of
1:18:12
some sort. Yeah, I would too, if I didn't
1:18:14
have like a house and a kid. I know it's kind of it's.
1:18:17
I just. I just like the steady page.
1:18:18
And my boss is cool as shit too. Man your situation is.
1:18:22
Like, no. It sounds like you got this.
1:18:23
Thing. How do I want it?
1:18:24
You know what I mean? He lets me use the booth.
1:18:25
And you got everything unlocked. You got life.
1:18:27
Good. Right now, I was painting a roof
1:18:28
at fucking 1:30 in the morning the other day.
1:18:31
You look happy bro. You you got.
1:18:32
This, I mean, that's kind of like the situation Chris is in
1:18:34
with me, 'cause it's like. Whoa.
1:18:36
He can. Do bring Chris in guys.
1:18:38
Chris is. Here Chris, I was talking to him
1:18:40
the other day like we are all having a meeting and I was like,
1:18:42
you guys basically just do whatever fuck you want to do
1:18:44
here, like like if you want to do something.
1:18:46
You. Just go, you just tell me and
1:18:48
then you just do it like I. Don't think that's why I say no.
1:18:50
Yeah, it's like the same thing with you.
1:18:52
It's like, oh, I got to paint this.
1:18:53
All right, Whatever. Well, that's a good boss.
1:18:54
It just lets me go. And those are good employees.
1:18:56
Like you're a good employee for not.
1:18:59
I would. I personally, I'm not the kind
1:19:00
of like, employee that would abuse a boss's like, that's a
1:19:05
privilege. You letting the people do
1:19:06
whatever the fuck they want, that's a privilege, I feel like.
1:19:08
I feel like if you let, if you let your employees do shit like
1:19:11
that, they're gonna fucking, they're gonna repay you, you
1:19:14
know what I mean? Yeah, I don't let them down.
1:19:15
Why? Why?
1:19:16
I need this. Done, that done.
1:19:17
OK, I'll do. It, yeah.
1:19:18
Look at Malcolm. You mean?
1:19:19
Well. Nah, this.
1:19:24
You got a well oiled machine, I know.
1:19:26
And I come in here and I fuck it up.
1:19:28
I'm a very lucky person. Nah, dude, there's got to be
1:19:30
some balance. Yeah, no, that's cool though,
1:19:32
man. I'm the HR department.
1:19:34
You're definitely not the HR department.
1:19:36
Yeah, we don't have. One of those flag we'd all get
1:19:40
fired that, yeah. How many people work over there?
1:19:42
He looks around. Do you have he has no idea he.
1:19:48
Doesn't couple. I've been in the paint booth
1:19:50
for. Three years.
1:19:52
They're just a few. Yeah.
1:19:55
Oh, there's a training gun. Damn.
1:19:57
No, I'm just thinking about the fact that I don't know, prepping
1:20:00
and bodywork and all that shit. And then now you're a painter.
1:20:02
Like you really could have your own.
1:20:05
Yeah, I don't want all that. My boss deals with so much shit,
1:20:07
bro. You see, so you see.
1:20:09
It OK. That's that's the you couldn't.
1:20:11
You're in your mind. That's not I.
1:20:13
Don't want it? OK.
1:20:14
No, that's that's not my dream though either.
1:20:16
That's like his dream, you know what I mean?
1:20:18
Like, I worked with him in a Body Shop for a while and I was
1:20:20
like, yo, I'll come, I'll come work for you.
1:20:22
That's his dream and he's fucking succeeding at it.
1:20:24
It's awesome. He's killing it.
1:20:26
It's not mine, though. I'd rather just be an artist.
1:20:28
Yeah, hell yeah. Ethan.
1:20:30
Let's fucking I. Don't know what, Something else.
1:20:31
I like working for him though. You know what I mean?
1:20:33
That's cool. That's my buddy.
1:20:34
I'm like, yo, dude, let's start something.
1:20:36
That's cool, man. I I respect that.
1:20:39
Yeah, one day I'll have it all but.
1:20:41
Cool. The thing is you have, you have.
1:20:43
So I mean your setup right now is like ideal I feel like.
1:20:46
Yeah dude, I get to use a full automotive like spray booth
1:20:48
everything. And you don't got to worry about
1:20:50
accounting and tax. I'm over here.
1:20:51
I'm over here looking at fucking spray booth for rent.
1:20:54
Yeah 125 a day. I'm.
1:20:56
All right, so let's, let's, let's get down to this.
1:20:58
How is Carl going to paint cars in his backyard?
1:20:59
And let's show you this. No, no, no, no, no.
1:21:01
I know what to do. I found the YouTube video.
1:21:02
I want to set something up in my garage I just haven't got.
1:21:04
There I found. I got a booth.
1:21:06
I know it makes no sense for you.
1:21:07
I. Found this video where one.
1:21:09
Day I need to switch it but. Essentially what I'm going to
1:21:11
do. I don't know if this could help
1:21:12
you at all, but I like the fact that I could use the garage
1:21:15
still as a normal spot. I'm not.
1:21:17
I don't normally have the garage gross.
1:21:20
So like, I found a video where this dude had some sort of
1:21:25
pulley system for a for like it's like a framed out PVC thing
1:21:29
and then it comes down. That's what I was thinking.
1:21:32
Immediately in my head, I was watching it and there was a lot
1:21:35
of revisions in my mind that I would already do to make it more
1:21:37
efficient. Like, I don't know why this dude
1:21:39
had like 19,000,000 feet of tweed rope running around.
1:21:46
Like you really just need one or two.
1:21:48
And then so that shit drops down.
1:21:50
And it drops down from the ceiling and then they make.
1:21:53
Inflatable spray boots. So I then I looked into one of
1:21:55
those, but then to me I think they're.
1:21:58
I see, I just know me as a person as like Funhouse.
1:22:01
How is it? How that's better?
1:22:04
Like hey, can I rent one of those for a week?
1:22:06
Like drop it off and. Then you can rent it out to kids
1:22:08
on the weekend and then jump it out in a paint.
1:22:10
Booth but but it's the sustain a bit like how long am I going to
1:22:12
be taking that down, putting it back up, the fact that if it
1:22:15
gets a hold and I got a patch it or like the fans or whatever.
1:22:19
I'm, I'm, I'm on board with the garage thing.
1:22:21
Then I would just take the two windows, put one there, and then
1:22:24
one there. Kevin Fan from Bostown had the
1:22:27
same shit. Not not like the drop down
1:22:29
thing, but when we went there for final bout 1 like they were
1:22:32
driving us dude, they were painting cars the night before.
1:22:34
It's a common thing painting cars for final bout the night
1:22:37
before you leave. Everybody's just getting up the
1:22:39
final bout and just showing off their art.
1:22:41
Project. His setup was in his in his
1:22:43
house. Kind.
1:22:43
Of what I'm getting. Out of here I.
1:22:44
Feel like it is what it. Is everybody kind of paints a
1:22:47
little? Bit you kind of like just build
1:22:48
a car and then you go. But.
1:22:50
Or if you're lucky, your ship was already ready, but it
1:22:52
probably wasn't. Anyway, he did the same thing.
1:22:54
Just fucking what do you call it?
1:22:56
What is it like, plastic wrap? What is that?
1:22:58
I don't know. What?
1:22:58
It. Is like just put up some tarps.
1:23:01
Like in a way, but it was like see through almost and he would
1:23:03
have that, put it on the ground, spray with water, that's it.
1:23:08
Keeps the dust down. Yeah, this is what it is.
1:23:10
Dude, that's what I would do. I know I'm not trying to.
1:23:12
My temperature control is really hurts.
1:23:14
That too. But also we learned that.
1:23:17
But also like the important thing to me is that it's not
1:23:20
just my garage. There's another car in there
1:23:22
that is not mine. So my concern is and out of
1:23:25
respect. Can you just back that thing out
1:23:27
for one night? I'm not just gonna keep backing
1:23:29
my fucking roommate's car out every single time.
1:23:32
Yeah, but if I can, if I'm able to just drop that shit non
1:23:36
invasive, I don't have to worry about it.
1:23:37
Yeah, the I can maybe bag it every time, but I think that
1:23:43
drop down thing will just take care of a majority of that
1:23:45
overspray and I wouldn't even have to think about it anyway.
1:23:47
Have you asked him yet? He asked me if I could paint a
1:23:50
bumper for him. So.
1:23:53
I think if you said hey, if I back your car out when I'm
1:23:55
painting cars in here. I do.
1:23:57
I do paint like, OK, I move the cars around when I need to
1:23:59
paint, like I move them all the way at the bottom of the
1:24:01
driveway. Yeah, I wouldn't.
1:24:02
I wouldn't be worried about it. Now he understands.
1:24:05
He understands that it's something that I like to do,
1:24:06
just. Tell him to buff his car.
1:24:08
I also understand his overspread about.
1:24:09
I don't know, I'm just being. I'm just being overly respectful
1:24:12
because I feel like it's just something that doesn't.
1:24:15
It's not an everyday thing. Like, it's not like a hey man,
1:24:18
you mind if I use some of your laundry detergent pods or steal
1:24:21
a coffee Keurig cup thing? Like, Nah, Hey, you mind if I
1:24:24
paint in the garage and fucking overspray your entire Porsche?
1:24:27
Came in. Paint.
1:24:29
It's worth it. Sorry, that bumper.
1:24:31
Paint. I had to get that.
1:24:33
I had to get this na me out of bumper down.
1:24:35
That's nuts. Send me your projects.
1:24:37
But we did. We did.
1:24:38
We have questions. What time is it?
1:24:39
How long we've been here. I don't know.
1:24:41
Dude, this has been great. This has been a fun one for me
1:24:44
personally. Someone just sent me a video of
1:24:46
Harley So. Why'd you have to make that
1:24:49
face? 'Cause I'm trying to buy a diner
1:24:51
right now. You.
1:24:52
Yeah. Wait, why?
1:24:53
When did? 'Cause my trans blew, so I need
1:24:56
a bike to go to and from work that.
1:24:58
Makes sense. See.
1:25:00
Ed's on. Board boy math.
1:25:01
That. What the fuck is that?
1:25:02
I'm on board anyone spending their own money.
1:25:04
Can we? I'm on board as long as it's
1:25:06
not. Support.
1:25:08
I support your bad decisions. Dude, now now I'm in a dilemma
1:25:12
where ah damn, you're gonna get something else.
1:25:15
What? A bike?
1:25:16
Yeah. I don't know.
1:25:17
I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm entertaining the idea.
1:25:19
We'll see what's up. There are questions.
1:25:21
Am I allowed to? But I bet half of them are
1:25:22
fucking retarded because the people have fucking listened to
1:25:24
this podcast. People actually fucking gave you
1:25:27
a question? Yeah.
1:25:29
We only got a couple. Though I was gonna put one, but
1:25:31
I didn't. If we mentioned that you were a
1:25:34
painter, we probably would have had more questions.
1:25:36
Yeah, I had to. I had to say, yeah, I'm just
1:25:38
like. That's why I put his Instagram,
1:25:40
so they could click on the yeah. I was just like holding a fish.
1:25:42
Yeah, that. Was the only selfie you had.
1:25:44
Yeah dude, dude, my paint, dude. I'm surprised people follow me,
1:25:47
man. That's so good.
1:25:49
There's like no pictures. You have like all art.
1:25:51
That's all it is. This is probably one of my
1:25:52
favorite podcasts and it's going to get the least amount of views
1:25:55
because you simply do not tell people how sick you are.
1:25:59
Well, we have like this is this is like least amount of
1:26:02
questions we've ever gotten. Well, he he doesn't.
1:26:03
He's not. We also we also just berated
1:26:06
the. Fuck out of you.
1:26:07
You guys know who I am? We berated the fuck out of you
1:26:10
with questions. When I invited Ed, Ed goes,
1:26:12
wait, it's a drifting podcast. I was like, yeah, I don't
1:26:15
fucking. Care.
1:26:15
I was like why I? I I try to tell people and and
1:26:19
maybe you guys could would listen to this time but we don't
1:26:23
just sometimes we don't talk about drifting at.
1:26:26
All. For. 3.
1:26:27
Hours. We don't like.
1:26:28
That and then we're like, fuck, we didn't talk about drifting.
1:26:31
Whatever. I think the.
1:26:32
People that actually listen to this podcast, like people
1:26:34
listening right now enjoy this shit.
1:26:38
But the people that, like are on our Instagram, like, they don't
1:26:40
fucking know. Like, unless they see a Drift
1:26:42
Car, they're just like, oh, you know what I mean?
1:26:44
Yeah, I guess. I mean, that's also just a
1:26:46
letter to a lot of you listening right now.
1:26:48
And we'll take a second here to thank you guys, because yeah,
1:26:51
we're probably, what, like an hour and a half to two hours
1:26:52
into this podcast and you're still fucking listening.
1:26:54
So hats off to you. Thank you're the reason why we
1:26:57
get to do things like these. No, dude, there's people from
1:27:01
around the world. Yeah.
1:27:01
There's some good, there's some good questions in.
1:27:03
Here, there's one in here I'm gonna show.
1:27:04
I'm gonna show Sam's because fuck, how do I make this bigger?
1:27:09
Fuck, can you see it at all here?
1:27:12
Is he trying to like? He Sam painted this valve cover
1:27:15
and this is his first try at doing something like this and I
1:27:17
was like, dude. He said rate the paint job.
1:27:19
Dude, for a first try it looks way better than my try it.
1:27:23
Was great. What do you mean?
1:27:24
It's 100? You fucking.
1:27:25
You did it. Yeah.
1:27:26
It was crazy. People got to stop doing that.
1:27:28
Like rate my paint job. What is it to you?
1:27:30
Did you? I I never like it.
1:27:32
I when I when I said it to them, my whatever I did, fuck, I
1:27:35
locked. Your phone.
1:27:36
I'm the worst person to rate shit.
1:27:37
I'll rate my own shit. I'm just like, yo, check this
1:27:39
shit out and then they'll tell me it's not good.
1:27:40
And I'm like not. Fucking You know what it
1:27:42
probably is? It's probably he doesn't paint.
1:27:43
Is that like, does he paint often or.
1:27:45
No, not at all. Fuck no.
1:27:46
Yeah, that's. Yeah.
1:27:47
So he's he's probably like, yo, did I do this right?
1:27:49
But yeah, I mean from here I can't really see it that.
1:27:52
Well, now we have. Like at the end of the result,
1:27:54
you like it. You did good, right?
1:27:55
Yeah. Yeah.
1:27:55
Or if you did it for someone and then someone likes it, then you
1:27:58
fucking did great. That is the key, man.
1:28:00
A lot of people these days are just like looking for people to
1:28:02
validate them and like, oh, do people like this?
1:28:05
And that's a kind of a big thing.
1:28:06
Interesting. Dude, I get myself in the head
1:28:08
too sometimes. I'm like.
1:28:10
Dude, OK, that's so real of you to fucking say.
1:28:12
Like, I'm like, yeah, I'm a good old Instagram me and then I'll
1:28:14
get more follower. And then then I think about I'm
1:28:16
like, fuck this. Yeah, this is such a stupid
1:28:18
game. I'm trying to.
1:28:19
It really is a game. But what's your?
1:28:20
Goal other people I don't just. I just want to paint people
1:28:23
shit. Oh, OK, so.
1:28:24
The more. People that see it, Yeah.
1:28:25
In theory, you have more followers and then more people
1:28:27
fucking send you some work. It's easy to talk about it,
1:28:30
though. Like then again too, people
1:28:31
would like, but Jillian Fowler is like, are they doing all that
1:28:34
work? Is people sending them shit?
1:28:36
Yeah, like is that making them? What makes you good?
1:28:39
I I don't. I just want the customer to be
1:28:42
happy with the shit I did. As long as I'm happy too.
1:28:44
Like if I'm Yeah. Don't forget about.
1:28:46
That dude. I'll redo shit.
1:28:47
The Flames take me forever. I'll redo a Fender for like 5
1:28:50
fucking hours. I'll tape it and that just
1:28:52
sucks. And I'll rip it.
1:28:53
Off. Definitely a fucking like.
1:28:54
It depends on how much you it's. It's what I get out of it, You
1:28:57
know what I mean? At the end of the day, I don't
1:28:59
like it. Then you're not probably going
1:29:00
to like it. One weird thing I Every time you
1:29:03
go to go spray something, I'm like, I don't know, it's like
1:29:06
that feeling of like, OK. Here goes.
1:29:09
Sometimes I do it to him like, oh, let's.
1:29:12
See if we can. Fuck this one up.
1:29:16
But then but but dude, it's it's what's it like?
1:29:19
It's like it's like that first clutch kick me and Ethan again
1:29:23
were. Talking about putting your
1:29:24
engine together. Ethan said this the best.
1:29:26
He's like, I'm gonna impersonate him, 'cause he's so fucking easy
1:29:29
to impersonate. But like, yeah, it's like that.
1:29:32
It's like that first fucking clutch kick.
1:29:34
I don't even know what I'm doing.
1:29:35
And then it's like, oh wait, like this is.
1:29:38
Actually, you're nervous that you're not gonna have the drips.
1:29:40
You don't. You totally forget what it's
1:29:42
like right off the rip and then. So it's probably like that
1:29:45
first. But it's also in my mind.
1:29:47
I'm thinking in my head this is permanent right away.
1:29:49
Yeah, but you're putting the pressure on yourself at that
1:29:51
point. Because I got a perfect in my.
1:29:52
Mind in your head you want Perfect.
1:29:54
I guess what? That shit doesn't exist.
1:29:55
I know. Even though I try to achieve it,
1:29:57
I. Try dude, I gotta.
1:29:59
I try to. You're also at a level where
1:30:01
you're like you spray something and you're like, I can fix
1:30:04
anything. Carl's probably.
1:30:05
Is still no but. Yeah, so I'm not like a good
1:30:07
painter. I'm a good fixer.
1:30:09
Like dude, I have fucked so much shit up that I know how to fix
1:30:13
my fuck up. I'm over here panicking about
1:30:15
shit like that. Like, I'm I had my first mess
1:30:17
up. I don't know if it's 'cause it
1:30:18
was cold overnight in the garage too much.
1:30:21
I have more. Yeah, I know.
1:30:22
But now, like, after that? Fuck up.
1:30:25
OK? What?
1:30:25
What ended up happening? Was it cured?
1:30:27
And then it looked hazy, like overnight in the garage.
1:30:29
I was like, what the fuck? It died back.
1:30:31
So then I'm freaking out about it.
1:30:33
I I go to Diego immediately. We're in the Yo, what do I do?
1:30:36
You sand it back, clear it. Yeah, it came out even better
1:30:39
than it did the 1st. Time because now you got rid of
1:30:41
all your. People, because then I saw all
1:30:43
of my imperfections. So when you see it, you see all
1:30:45
your imperfections, right? And you see all little things.
1:30:47
So you keep saying it until it's flat and smooth.
1:30:49
So now when you put that last coat on, it's like that glass
1:30:52
coat. There's nowhere for your clear
1:30:54
to. So you have these valleys.
1:30:55
Your clear will sit in here. You know what I mean?
1:30:57
That's where you get your orange peel.
1:30:59
So now you sand it all. Now all your valleys are tight.
1:31:01
So now when you spray it, that clear is not going in those
1:31:03
valleys. Now, But what that's?
1:31:05
How his roof looks so nice. The same one like Flake.
1:31:07
You flake out a roof and looks oops, sorry looks fucking
1:31:10
terrible. But then you sand it and you
1:31:11
just start from there. But that's that's also what I
1:31:14
was about to say to you, the back.
1:31:15
Is just the temperature or your your speed of your.
1:31:18
You're clearer, you use or the harder the hardener in your
1:31:20
clear. You might have put too much on
1:31:21
too much too fast depending on what your hardener is and also
1:31:25
depends on the temperature of like what you sprayed it at.
1:31:28
Pretty much everything. I was like, I pretty much
1:31:31
fucked. Everything.
1:31:31
No, no, no. But it, I mean.
1:31:32
Like if it's the temperature of the room's like 80° and you're
1:31:35
using like a like a fast hardener, that shit's gonna
1:31:37
fasten up and then in your head you're like 01 coat cool, Two
1:31:40
coat and you might have put the second coat on too fast.
1:31:42
That first coat didn't have time to breathe.
1:31:43
Yeah, painting slow. Everything's slow, Go fucking
1:31:46
slow. And and the thing about it being
1:31:49
permanent it it's in your. Head It's in your head, dude, I
1:31:53
was. Nervous fixed shit.
1:31:54
The first couple times I painted some shit I'm like now I just
1:31:57
don't fucking care. It's it's sure it'll take more
1:32:00
time, but like there seems to be always like OK if I did this,
1:32:06
maybe I can do this to fix it. This there's like so many
1:32:09
different. You find out how to fix.
1:32:10
It there's so many different ways and I'm like, what?
1:32:13
The fuck I feel. Fuck up.
1:32:14
I slapped the hose into the paint job today.
1:32:17
Yo, that shit pissed you off. This is the second time you
1:32:19
mentioned it today. I was.
1:32:21
I was a little man. This is the second time you
1:32:24
brought this on today. You know what always, dude, when
1:32:26
I would, when I'd go to a paint shop or something, like when I
1:32:29
didn't know anything, I'd be like, yo, how do they blend
1:32:31
shit? That shit is like.
1:32:33
Mad yo. That is and then I finally.
1:32:36
Figured it out and I was like oh.
1:32:38
I. Could like sand and then wet
1:32:40
sand. And but what what about?
1:32:41
Like when they like, isn't that blending?
1:32:44
Kind of like. Overspray it right and then it
1:32:46
kind of sand it down. Yeah.
1:32:47
So it's like you step it out, you start here, then your next
1:32:50
coat's here and your next coat's here, and then you're kind of
1:32:52
just blending into the other panel kind of.
1:32:54
OK. And then you can wet sand and
1:32:55
kind of buff it out or the the overspray and whatnot or I don't
1:33:00
know. You don't know I.
1:33:01
Really don't know. What we're talking about I.
1:33:02
Really fucking don't, Ed. I really don't.
1:33:05
Yeah, now you're losing me. Are you clearing the whole car?
1:33:07
Like, what? Do you?
1:33:08
No. OK, walk me through it guys.
1:33:11
I don't fucking know. I feel like I would just make
1:33:13
it. Shiny.
1:33:14
Here's what we're doing. Painted.
1:33:17
You backed into something. You hit your quarter panel, they
1:33:19
pulled the dent. They did body work, but it's
1:33:21
only like a little section. So what are you doing?
1:33:25
Just paint that little section, sand the whole quarter down for
1:33:28
clear or whatever and then you just.
1:33:30
Paint. So you sand the whole?
1:33:31
Yeah, the whole. Quarter.
1:33:32
So whatever the quarter is, whatever you're gonna clear, do
1:33:34
the whole. So say it's the quarter and then
1:33:36
it's the roof rail, right? It goes up and over.
1:33:38
So then you sand all that, and then you just paint that area
1:33:41
just just like spray paint dude. Just like.
1:33:44
And you tape off that little bit and.
1:33:46
You're not just tape off the whole quarter and you just blend
1:33:49
that shit out. But you're going to clear the
1:33:50
whole. And then you.
1:33:51
Clear the whole. OK, so you're still using
1:33:54
basically a whole area. Yo, that's.
1:33:56
Kind of what I. Did.
1:33:57
Without knowing that is kind of the action that I used to blend.
1:34:02
Yeah, if you have a bumper right, and it's already red and
1:34:04
you just fix the side and you just you're just painting the
1:34:06
side red, you're not going to paint the whole fucking thing
1:34:08
red. Yeah, 'cause.
1:34:09
It's already red, so you're just gonna paint the side and then
1:34:11
clear the whole thing. I need to watch you do.
1:34:13
That was my first project with Rosin's side skirt.
1:34:16
Shout out Rosin for letting me try that shit.
1:34:18
My buddy gave me these really expensive side skirts.
1:34:21
There was a chunk missing, so I had to I get got to try to
1:34:24
repair it. It's a hole.
1:34:26
So I laid fiberglass down. Then Bondo.
1:34:28
I had to build up this square and I made like a little block
1:34:32
Sander, 'cause I don't have any 'cause I'm poor.
1:34:35
And then I painted that one spot.
1:34:37
I taped off that one spot first though, So then obviously
1:34:42
there's a or. Yeah, now, now hearing it, it
1:34:45
it's fucked up. But then what I ended up having
1:34:47
to do was I. Don't know.
1:34:48
So you're just trying. I know I was just kind of
1:34:50
fucking around. So then what?
1:34:51
I there was a Ridge. So I was like, fuck, what do I
1:34:53
do here? I saw that I wet, I wet sanded
1:34:56
it. I wet sanded it until it was
1:34:59
smooth and then now I'm like, fuck, well now there's one spot,
1:35:01
it's wet sanded. So I'm like, let me just wet
1:35:03
sand the whole thing and then re clear it and then I did it and
1:35:06
then. Yeah, pretty good.
1:35:07
Next time, just don't tape. It No tape, just.
1:35:08
Just let that shit spray out. Yeah, see, that's.
1:35:10
Where? That's where you lose me.
1:35:11
That's where the blend is. You're blending that out.
1:35:14
Because the the sand afterwards that I'm you doing to pre to
1:35:18
clear it, to prep it for clear would have taken that shit off
1:35:21
anyway or or cleaned up that. Yeah, yeah.
1:35:23
That's basically what I was saying before, yeah.
1:35:25
Yeah, that's what you're. Almost like you're spraying and
1:35:26
then you're kind of flicking whatever that overspray goes.
1:35:29
So it's it's kind of like blending it.
1:35:30
And then? You just clear over all of it.
1:35:33
Sorry, Rosa, next time. Yeah, we fucked your shit up.
1:35:37
But I I obviously I it took a lot more time to get the result,
1:35:41
but. Yeah.
1:35:42
My mind was in the right spot. I I should to get it to make
1:35:45
sure it was flat, not the tape. You don't tape it.
1:35:48
Next No. No more tape.
1:35:52
Let's see. JDM will y'all better be at ECB
1:35:55
next Saturday. I'll be there.
1:35:56
Are you really? No.
1:35:57
Fuck no. Oh shit.
1:35:59
I mean this is this is a good question.
1:36:00
For anyone else, I don't even know what that.
1:36:01
Is East Coast bash. Oh, will not be there things I
1:36:06
painted well. Why is Mazda's Soul Red so
1:36:10
expensive? Is that that?
1:36:12
Is it red? Is that that crazy cool red?
1:36:14
It's like a three stage probably.
1:36:16
And so Tri coat is expensive. Yeah, you just an extra.
1:36:18
It's a whole nother paint job. Fuck.
1:36:20
Yeah. When you think about it.
1:36:21
So it's like your your sealer cause usually well I guess you'd
1:36:24
fix something so it'd be like a sealer, then it'd be your base
1:36:26
coat and then you get the suspended coat which is like
1:36:30
gives you that cool, vibrant fucking.
1:36:33
It's like a in between. Yeah, it's like a weird clear
1:36:36
coat, but it has a tints built into it.
1:36:38
It's like a. When would you spray that?
1:36:40
Like when it's fully, the base is fully cured.
1:36:42
Yeah. So it's base looks like your
1:36:43
three coats of base and then it'll be your, depending on what
1:36:47
color you're trying to match, two to three coats of your mid
1:36:50
coat and then it'll be your two coats of clear.
1:36:52
Jesus. So you're going in there doing
1:36:53
like a whole nother paint job for those Tri coats?
1:36:56
That's on this red expensive shit of time.
1:36:59
Why is banging this table? Why is red expensive?
1:37:01
Something about the pigment. What the fuck?
1:37:03
It doesn't cover worth of shit either.
1:37:05
Somebody on. On sometimes it does, depending
1:37:07
on what you're doing, depending on the colors, but.
1:37:09
Hit me for like a Pearl O 57 Toyota color.
1:37:12
I looked at it and I was like, sorry dude, I can't do that.
1:37:15
Yeah, that's that's a Tri coat. It's.
1:37:17
So hard that's your white base. Blue, I think Purpley or
1:37:20
something. Yeah.
1:37:21
So it's your your base and then and then you have your mid coat
1:37:24
on top of it and then it's depending on how many coats, if
1:37:26
your mid coat you do, you can completely change that color.
1:37:28
Yeah, one coat to three coats. That's so sick though.
1:37:31
It is way hard. Fucking awful it is.
1:37:33
Don't have to like. Blend cars all the time and then
1:37:35
that sounds, Hey, make this match.
1:37:36
It's not fun, yeah. So don't buy a car like that,
1:37:39
guys. You're not gonna have fun when
1:37:40
you crash it. Then some some people ask me too
1:37:43
like, how about a Pearl White? How about like, how about, no, I
1:37:47
was like, you're gonna crash this shit.
1:37:48
And then we're not going to match it like we can, but it's
1:37:52
just gonna be really different for.
1:37:53
Drifting, it was always like, you don't do that, you don't do
1:37:55
that color. Because people ask me all the
1:37:57
time what a Pearl. But then Pearl Plasty Dip came
1:38:00
out, and then the world was ruined.
1:38:03
Pearls only for, like, whites. Pearl.
1:38:04
It's just fucking. But is metallic the same thing?
1:38:07
Like another coat? No, it's just the same.
1:38:09
It's. Metallic the metal.
1:38:10
Paint to the paint. Your Tri coat is like a
1:38:13
suspension of color. It's in like a clear.
1:38:17
Yo, when you send that, it's like.
1:38:18
A mixing it's like a mixing clear so like.
1:38:22
No no no no 'cause I'm literally picturing this color hovering in
1:38:26
between the clear and the fucking.
1:38:27
Days essentially it is and it's suspended.
1:38:29
That's that's what gives you that like that that to that red
1:38:32
and that depth. Yeah.
1:38:33
It's because that that intermediate.
1:38:35
Come on, bro. Is this what you do it flake or
1:38:38
no, you spray? Flake not flakes.
1:38:40
Flakes. It's.
1:38:41
It's a mixing clear in itself too.
1:38:42
But you just blast flake on with a clear.
1:38:44
OK, it's an inner coat. Well at least I spray it.
1:38:46
It's an inner coat clear. So it's like a clear without
1:38:48
it's a with a non hardener in it.
1:38:51
So it's just like a just a random clear.
1:38:53
It's just, it's just, it's just with like a glue to fucking
1:38:55
stick it. Damn so much.
1:38:59
So much. To this I want to fucking paint
1:39:01
some shit. Yo, turn that back section in a
1:39:03
paint. Nope, bro.
1:39:04
Can't paint here, Can't paint. Here, paint at my shop and yeah,
1:39:08
just do my job, yeah, And then I can just watch you.
1:39:12
I was going to say, dude, if Carl could spend like one hour
1:39:14
there with you, he probably. Learned so much, learned so much
1:39:16
shit. I wish that like, you got to pay
1:39:18
him to. I worked at a Body Shop, but I
1:39:20
worked in the office like I was doing, like the office stuff.
1:39:23
Yeah. I wish I like learned other shit
1:39:26
I remember. That shit.
1:39:28
I started off sweeping bro. I just.
1:39:30
I wish. I like I ended up.
1:39:31
I work in like an office. That's why I'm trying to get
1:39:34
out. I've never.
1:39:35
I've literally worked in a Body Shop.
1:39:37
That's all I've done. I, like, think back on it, and
1:39:40
there were probably paths I could have taken, but I I
1:39:43
wouldn't trade it for the world, 'cause now I feel like I could
1:39:46
run, like I could be your how you have your buddy who's their
1:39:50
dream is to like own the shop and like run it and do this like
1:39:54
that. I feel like is like a blend of
1:39:55
everything. I get to be involved, but I'm, I
1:39:57
don't know. I don't know what I'm doing in
1:39:59
life right now, dude. And I'm fucking lost, bro.
1:40:01
I feel you. What?
1:40:04
I don't even. I don't know if I can ask some
1:40:05
of these questions, but yo ES fabrications.
1:40:08
That's the fabricator that Josh referred me to.
1:40:11
He does. All some work he.
1:40:13
Did the tire tire rack on dude I followed on Instagram.
1:40:16
He made this beetle like the the panels for this beetle or the OR
1:40:20
was. It his GTA.
1:40:21
It's a Volkswagen. Or something.
1:40:24
He does all that shit. In his in house?
1:40:26
No, it could be a port. I don't know what it is.
1:40:28
Sorry, Zach. It's cool as fuck though.
1:40:30
I can't do that stuff either. So like I just I painted his
1:40:32
windows. I'm just appreciating it from
1:40:34
me. What?
1:40:35
It says he has fabrication on the back of his his.
1:40:38
Windows, you guys, can you pull up that that he does some really
1:40:41
cool stuff dude. Probably find it.
1:40:42
Hopefully one day I could get something that could fucking
1:40:45
tackle stuff. If Ed isn't painting your car
1:40:49
slash bike, you fucking up. That's what.
1:40:51
That's what, he said. That's a fact.
1:40:53
Thanks Zach. That is facts.
1:40:55
Aside from that dude, some we got.
1:40:56
Wait, the last one. Frankie Echavez asking Most Red
1:40:59
Bull can flips. Do you know?
1:41:01
You don't even know. About that he doesn't know about
1:41:02
that. I just flip a Red Bull can.
1:41:04
Dude, you got to follow him, bro.
1:41:06

Oh really? Yeah, dude.
1:41:13
Oh. There you go.
1:41:14
Yeah. This is what you did.
1:41:15
Yeah, I painted that. Holy.
1:41:16
Shit. Unfortunately, I think that one
1:41:18
fell off the window. Oh no.
1:41:20
Something about the fucking blue paint, bro.
1:41:22
It just fell off. Yeah, I don't know why I have to
1:41:24
redo it. Yeah.
1:41:25
Holy ass, super bummer. It looks like he needs new.
1:41:28

1:41:53
Oh yeah. Dude, yeah, there we go.

1:42:07
Yeah. Except for.
1:42:09
Except for drifting, dude. Wait, they had some drifting
1:42:12
over there at a bullshit Drift Appalachia event.

1:42:18
Yeah, I'm gonna talk about it. There you go.
1:42:19

And you're like I haven't done it.
1:42:33

You haven't been doing it for a while.
1:42:44
I was like, oh. Maybe.
1:42:45
Maybe he's turned a new. Leaf.
1:42:47
He started to panic. He started to panic for a
1:42:50
second. Hold on, hold on one.
1:42:53
You can't hear the mute. The music goes perfect.
1:42:55
Oh yeah, that one made me giggle.
1:43:00
And then, Malcolm, you got to go to the next one after this.

Yeah. Yep, that's how you that's how

1:43:47
just fuck it up? I don't care.
1:43:48
Just dude, that gun is gunning, dude.
1:43:50
It's. Worth it for this shit.
1:43:51
Disposable cup guy. Yeah, those PPS Cups are the
1:43:54
shit. Hell yeah, dude.
1:43:56
That's exactly. Oh, no.
1:44:00
Oh no. Nah, it's just stupid shit, man.
1:44:04
I love it. Start to finish.
1:44:07
Oh, so it was just finished? 0500 jobs.
1:44:09
That was this dude's bike. I you don't have to look at that
1:44:12
cause it's I did a lot of bodywork on that.
1:44:14
That's. Crazy.
1:44:15
What the fuck you did? You.
1:44:17
No. So he welded all those on.
1:44:19
I did. You have to go in the Instagram.
1:44:21
I never finished the fucking. Oh the start to finish.
1:44:23
I don't know why it's still on there.
1:44:24
Yeah. So that's like 126 hours in that
1:44:26
bike, dude. Oh.
1:44:27
My God. That is absolutely wild.
1:44:30
Yeah, painting is a labor. Go down a little more.
1:44:33
Should be. Keep going, it's a little
1:44:36
further down. Damn, he really made it the
1:44:39
photo of you with the fish. To be fair, as a fish, resign.
1:44:44
You can keep going. Like, that one's pretty good.
1:44:47
That's the frame one that. So all those things are fully
1:44:50
molded in that frame. Took me forever.
1:44:54
How are you? What are you masking that off?
1:44:56
Yeah, dude. A little like I'm talking about
1:44:59
little veins on it with my little cock veins, that's.
1:45:01
Pretty cool. That's fully masked off.
1:45:02
It's fully body or that. That took me some time, yeah.
1:45:06
And then you cleared the whole thing.
1:45:07
Meanwhile, I'm over here. I'm over here.
1:45:08
Fucking. No, that one.
1:45:11
And then every seam is molded on that thing, man.
1:45:14
Oh, what? Though you see how like there is
1:45:16
no seams. It's just, yeah, let's see.
1:45:19
When I go down the down tube, I think on like the little
1:45:21
swirlies, dude. This bike is fucking crazy.
1:45:24
Yo, this frame is wild. What kind of frame is that?
1:45:27
Yeah dude, Ash did a fucking amazing job.
1:45:29
That bike is super cool. Wow.
1:45:35
That's just, I think the next video too is the yeah, the tank
1:45:39
and the Fender. It's super cool, super unique
1:45:43
and then like in in the sides there, it's just like a pocket.
1:45:47
Oh yeah. Yeah, it's like a big pocket.
1:45:50
And he had a cool crystal that goes in there.
1:45:52
I'm finna redo my fucking car this week.
1:45:55
Yeah, Carl's gonna be really inspired after this one.
1:45:58
Well 'cause I gotta redo. Some.
1:46:00
Shit, yeah. That one took me forever.
1:46:01
That was that was I did that I think in like a month or two.
1:46:04
So what are you thinking when you're doing something like
1:46:05
that, like a job like that, and you're like, yeah, I'm not
1:46:07
making any money on this shit, but.
1:46:08
He was super generous and paid me more.
1:46:10
OK? Wow.
1:46:11
He saw all the work I put in and then he fucking yeah, sorry
1:46:14
about that. Miyagi didn't have any money,
1:46:15
but thanks. No, that's different.
1:46:17
He saw all the work I put in and Ash is a super cool dude, dude.
1:46:22
How is that different? You put in a shit.
1:46:23
Load of work on the. I know, right?
1:46:26
You're a really fucking nice dude.
1:46:29
No. I think Jimmy gave him something
1:46:30
extra, but not anywhere near what it should have been.
1:46:32
What, for the roof? Yeah, that was a more me thing.
1:46:35
Yeah. That was totally like a selfish
1:46:37
act. And I was like, yeah, I'll just
1:46:39
do it for. This.
1:46:39
No, that was awesome. I yeah, we still appreciate
1:46:41
that, even though we never see that fucking car anymore.
1:46:44
Cause Yagi let me get that. Let me get the wheels off of it,
1:46:48
please. Do you know a Brian P666?
1:46:51
Yeah. OK, OK, Well, you, why don't you
1:46:54
ask him? Why don't you ask him what?
1:46:56
He asked. You wanted to know if you like
1:46:57
boys. Yeah, that's great.
1:47:03
That was perfect. That's a good way to end it,
1:47:06
yeah. Right.
1:47:07
Yeah, it's solid. Yo, honestly dude?
1:47:11
I learned to shit. Load.
1:47:12
I know you. I know you did.
1:47:13
I knew. I knew you did.
1:47:14
I also. Now want to go home and fucking
1:47:16
my my tank on the bike. I've been saving it for like a
1:47:20
rainy day too, 'cause it's the paint is trash on just paint it.
1:47:23
So now I'm like and. If you fuck up, just paint it.
1:47:25
Again, just looking at it, I'm like, fuck, dude, I'm.
1:47:27
Fucking. I'm always so scared about
1:47:28
painting like old tanks. Why?
1:47:30
What's the? Worst thing, I have me to fuck
1:47:31
it up. No, like the patina.
1:47:33
You know, oh, oh, to make it look like keep the patina.
1:47:35
Yeah, I've never done a patina job.
1:47:37
No, I mean like if it's like it's like cool and it's old like
1:47:40
like my Honda, it's like a 71 and the tank is like pretty cool
1:47:44
looking. But it's like, yeah, I would.
1:47:46
I don't know what your. Attention mine is just black
1:47:49
somebody spray painted. It OK, so it's whatever.
1:47:52
Yeah, what's the worst I wanted? You're.
1:47:53
Gonna fuck it up. Well, I drew like a whole design
1:47:55
out and shit. Like, I'm gonna just do it now.
1:47:57
I'm just. Yeah, I mean, if you.
1:47:58
Yeah, I just. Started painting shit, dude.
1:48:01
That's it. I just picked some shit up and I
1:48:03
started painting it. That's kind of what's just been
1:48:05
happening, all that stuff. Was like I used to just paint
1:48:06
stuff too pinstripe to stuff, so I wanted to be a pinstriper.
1:48:10
We went three hours in the pot and we never finished.
1:48:16
But I was like. Yeah, you actually wanted to be
1:48:18
a pinch. Striper and then.
1:48:21
Never even talked about it. Idea gone?
1:48:23
Yeah, that's why now you paint is because you got too good at
1:48:26
stage 1. No, I just, I so I started to
1:48:29
just paint shit. And I was like, yo, I'm gonna
1:48:30
paint this panel so I could pinch drive it.
1:48:33
And then like that's people were like, yo, look, can you paint my
1:48:35
bike? I've done bikes like completely
1:48:37
for free or like someone's like, let me paint your shit.
1:48:39
I'm like, let me do it. That's how I know you're an
1:48:41
artist. I just, dude, I just do this
1:48:43
shit. Yeah, I just wanna do it.
1:48:44
Yeah. And just the opportunity to do
1:48:47
it, it's just like fantastic. And then people pay you to do
1:48:49
it. It's like it's mind blowing.
1:48:51
Yeah, that's cool though, man. That means you're doing what you
1:48:53
wanna do. Like I'm jealous as hell you're.
1:48:55
Making a living out of what you you ever, you ever stop and
1:48:57
think about that like. Yeah, dude, if it wasn't for,
1:48:59
like, my God-given talents, like, I would fucking.
1:49:02
Yeah. I 'cause I pay some of my bills,
1:49:05
man. Yeah, I think about the same
1:49:06
thing sometimes like, 'cause I never stop and think about it,
1:49:08
but then I stop and I'm like. No, I'm super blessed.
1:49:10
Super lucky. Yeah, it's it's crazy to me that
1:49:12
like really like, I get it. I do nice work or whatever, but
1:49:15
like, it's still crazy. I mean that someone like, like,
1:49:17
the dude asked you put, you saw that bike, how much work do you
1:49:19
think he has in metal work and that thing, dude, I don't
1:49:21
fucking. And then he gave it to me and
1:49:22
yeah, and then he's like, he's like, here you go, man, finish
1:49:24
it. And I'm like, why?
1:49:26
Why'd you pick me, bro? That's.
1:49:28
Yeah, that that's a lot. He just trusted me to just do
1:49:30
it. That's stressful.
1:49:32
It's pretty wild that people trust you, man.
1:49:34
You're the last dude. Same with that that red bike I
1:49:36
did, it was like. You know what?
1:49:37
I had to match the dude's bike. He just trusted me in doing it.
1:49:41
Other than painting, I feel like another thing in the car world
1:49:44
is tuning. You've killed your whole fucking
1:49:47
engine. You do all this.
1:49:48
Shit, yeah, and it's up to the tuner.
1:49:50
Right you go. Here you go.
1:49:51
Good luck. Like what?
1:49:53
Yeah, you're the last dude to, like, make a brand.
1:49:56
Bro, fuck that job. I'm going to say that.
1:49:58
Fuck that job. That's kind of how I feel about
1:50:00
painting too, because it's so much stress to me.
1:50:02
There's so much stress, You know, if if you're in a
1:50:04
situation like that where it's like.
1:50:05
Now let's switch jobs. I'd be stressed this out here,
1:50:09
Then you'd be stressed there I. Don't know.
1:50:10
Maybe it's not. Maybe it's.
1:50:11
Fainting. Stressful sometimes, but I don't
1:50:13
know why. Dude, it's looking at the
1:50:14
because. You think something.
1:50:14
'S going to. Be I don't know, dude.
1:50:15
I keep looking at it for whatever.
1:50:17
Reason I feel like it totally is stressful because like if you
1:50:21
have, what if you have to you have a redo or do you got a
1:50:24
correction you got to do No, you you know you you're going to
1:50:28
redo the panel right off the rip.
1:50:30
You just you. Swallow the fuck.
1:50:32
Yeah, yeah, you got to take that shit on the chin and you're
1:50:34
like, all right, I got to fucking do now.
1:50:36
You know what not to do next. Time.
1:50:37
Now I have another half a day that I got to fucking I.
1:50:40
Feel like a tuner is different though I was.
1:50:41
Like y'all a tuner. Blow your shit out.
1:50:43
Like, sorry bud, my. Dad.
1:50:45
My dad. I don't know, dude.
1:50:46
It must have been the builder. And then like, he leaves and he
1:50:48
talks to his buddy. Yeah, fuck that shit up.
1:50:50
You know Mine's. Be just going to have your bike
1:50:52
next week? Yeah, yeah.
1:50:54
Fuck dude, I fucked shit out before.
1:50:55
I love it happens. I love painting stuff recently
1:50:58
over the fixing shit. I think, I think it's good for
1:51:01
you, Carl. I.
1:51:01
Think it is fun? I I I also think that selfishly,
1:51:05
because we need someone that can paint.
1:51:06
You son of a bitch. You know.
1:51:08
Yeah, not just me. Yeah, we can't have this.
1:51:11
Right here they don't. Want to pay me on?
1:51:12
Yeah, but but you're you know. You're in house.
1:51:14
You're in house, you know. That's why, yeah.
1:51:17
We're still gonna have. I'm still.
1:51:18
Gonna have Ed paint my. Car I wish that there.
1:51:20
Was you ain't paint my car yet? I wish there was some sort of
1:51:22
clause here where I could paint. Dude, I wouldn't fucking have.
1:51:24
My you could paint it. Just keep doing it.
1:51:25
And yeah, all my first shit suck bro the door.
1:51:28
No, I mean like in the wooden room.
1:51:31
No, you can't paint here, my landlord specifically said.
1:51:33
Yeah, it's. It's it's hard to weird to get
1:51:36
zoned for that. Yes, like 100%.
1:51:38
It's super weird to get zoned. Percent.
1:51:39
It's super strict. That's why if you have a
1:51:41
building with it already in there.
1:51:43
That's so my my boss got it. It was already a pre established
1:51:47
Body Shop. So like, it got all the fucking
1:51:49
right. You know what I mean?
1:51:50
Like it was already here. Everyone knows it's been here.
1:51:53
It is. Town and knows yeah.
1:51:54
Dude, it's hard to just open up. Now looking at that water paint
1:51:57
though, I kind of look into. That it's a little different
1:51:59
than solving. I'm curious solve.
1:52:01
I just want better for. You really I think solving.
1:52:03
For like a garage paint type of deal?
1:52:05
Yeah, for sure. Like better?
1:52:06
Yeah. Water is really expensive too.
1:52:08
Okay. Never mind.
1:52:09
It's more. That's all you need to say than
1:52:11
solve it as. Well, I have a paint guy that I
1:52:13
go to right now. I don't mix my own paint.
1:52:15
Sure, there's a guy I happen to. I still buy all my paint too,
1:52:17
like pre mixed. Dude I I'll go to I'll order
1:52:20
I'll. Pre-order it from a paint shop
1:52:21
'cause we shoot water. I don't like painting all my
1:52:23
custom stuff in in water. I just don't like doing it.
1:52:26
It's different. I didn't even know that he was a
1:52:28
paint guy. When I got started trying to
1:52:29
think about painting the body kid, I was like, I gotta paint
1:52:32
this thing, 'cause I'm not, I don't think I can afford to get
1:52:35
it painted. So then I found this guy.
1:52:37
I show up to the place, the smallest building ever.
1:52:40
It's called L&S Auto Supply. It's my favorite place to go.
1:52:43
The guy's like a really humble, nice dude.
1:52:47
It's his shop. It's been his shop.
1:52:48
That's all he does. He makes his paint.
1:52:50
I go in there, tell him what color code I need, man, of very
1:52:53
few words. I leave, I come back an hour
1:52:55
later, I pick it up like everything I need.
1:52:58
Hey, man, do you happen to have a fine line tape?
1:53:00
I wanted to try something really quick.
1:53:02
He's like, are you Ben striping or you masking something off?
1:53:05
It's literally you, dude. It's literally, it's literally
1:53:08
you. If you owned a paint shop.
1:53:09
He doesn't. He doesn't mind that I'm in
1:53:11
there, but like you, you would like if I was not like.
1:53:15
Nah, he's he's probably mine. Nah, he's he's.
1:53:17
Awesome. He's awesome.
1:53:17
But then you know that's that's like my plug.
1:53:20
Like, I'll ask him, I'm like, what do you think I should be?
1:53:22
Yeah, there's always a paint shop.
1:53:24
Yeah, he's talk to everyone. He's he, he he's like, I think
1:53:27
the nicest thing he's ever said to me is that, like, I like that
1:53:30
you show me pictures. That's how we if you, God, God
1:53:33
forbid, anybody goes there and you talk to him that play that
1:53:36
shit that has the same voice. But like, like, I like that you
1:53:39
show me pictures. A lot of these guys don't show
1:53:41
me any pictures. Yeah, they just bullshit.
1:53:43
And they're just bullshitting him.
1:53:45
And I'm like. When people just bullshit, you
1:53:46
know when people come to me and start talking to me about shit,
1:53:48
yeah. I'm like, Nah, I'm straight.
1:53:50
I'm like, dude, thank you for, like, you know, helping me out,
1:53:53
bro. Here's what I use that shit on.
1:53:54
Check it out. Like oh shit, that's pretty
1:53:56
good. People trying to act like they
1:53:58
know painting and shit must be so.
1:54:00
I don't. I'm like, dude, I'm like, keep
1:54:03
painting in a booth. It's just like.
1:54:04
Anyone though, man. It's just like how many people
1:54:06
talk to you about like I drift this and you're like.
1:54:08
Sure you did. You know that did.
1:54:10
Yeah. Did used to happen a lot.
1:54:12
Like sure you do. That, yeah, they'd be like,
1:54:14
well, you know, the biggest one is old dudes, boomers.
1:54:18
They're. Kind of.
1:54:19
Every time, every time they'll be like.
1:54:22
What do you what is that? And like, yeah, it's drifting.
1:54:25
You probably don't know what it is, like drift.
1:54:26
Yeah, we used to do that all the time.
1:54:28
I'm like, no, it's not like doing a burnout.
1:54:29
It's like, yeah, we used to skate around.
1:54:31
I'm like yeah, but it's not the same but.
1:54:34
They'll say something. I came around that corner doing
1:54:36
a buck twin. No.
1:54:37
Yeah. Yeah, Hank.
1:54:39
Yeah, Hank, we know you peeled out once, but it's not the same
1:54:42
thing like. Yeah, I mean.
1:54:44
But they'll swear to God they they've been drifting.
1:54:47
They're like, no, I know what that is.
1:54:49
I. Had a Mustang, but dude, OK to
1:54:51
an extent. I'm just like, you know what?
1:54:54
Yeah, dude, you you totally were like, what?
1:54:57
Am I going to fucking ruin that dude dream that he wasn't?
1:55:00
What? I don't do it all the time.
1:55:02
Just just have a friendly conversation, Yeah.
1:55:04
Because at the end of the day, it's just like, we just, we just
1:55:06
talked to, man. We didn't.
1:55:07
Yeah, we just. Chit chat and my dad's like,
1:55:09
yeah, yeah, I've been. Drifting.
1:55:10
And then you made a nice new friend.
1:55:11
That guy was like, yeah, that guy was.
1:55:12
Friendly and then you bring him in the car or something and then
1:55:14
they're like. Oh yeah.
1:55:16
Yeah. Yeah, dude, that's.
1:55:18
Yeah, that's exact dude I brought.
1:55:20
I told you, I brought my coworker Drifting, right?
1:55:22
Oh yeah, Like after work. So my one Co worker who's in the
1:55:25
car is 4:00. I'm like, yo, I have a private
1:55:29
day. You want to come?
1:55:30
You want. To come, dude.
1:55:32
Carl does this shit all the time.
1:55:33
You want to come random people? You.
1:55:34
Want to come? And then he's like, yeah, sure,
1:55:36
We show up. It's like pouring rain.
1:55:38
We only have like an hour left of the private day.
1:55:39
We take it drifting, dude. He probably bugged out.
1:55:43
You think the average person gets to?
1:55:45
Feel that? Oh, dude, I was just going to
1:55:46
say that. There's so much culture shock to
1:55:48
some people. Dude, the car is literally like
1:55:50
sending you like this. And you're somehow in control of
1:55:53
it, yeah? It was.
1:55:55
It's so great. I love getting people to
1:55:57
experience that, yeah. And then seeing how they react.
1:55:59
Sometimes people are fucking hyped, sometimes they're quiet
1:56:02
as well. You gotta think those people
1:56:03
never do that shit. Yeah.
1:56:05
Yeah. The same like motorcycle shows.
1:56:08
My kid goes to them all the time, swap meets and stuff, and
1:56:10
she just run around. Brought her friend once.
1:56:13
Her friend was like. Those those around a lot
1:56:15
looking. Around these dudes, like these
1:56:17
biker dudes and all this stuff, they're just like, wait, what?
1:56:19
It's like a a culture shock to her and she just, yeah, looking
1:56:23
around this. Dude, we gotta go to that.
1:56:26
It's different. Yo, if he does another one,
1:56:27
we'll go. Dude, wait, no, he say.
1:56:29
You're saying you went to another story?
1:56:31
They're all over. They're all over the place.
1:56:32
It's not. You just gotta look him up.
1:56:33
Travel. Anything older Swap meet for it?
1:56:35
Because my dad used to bring me to Porsche swap meets.
1:56:38
Those were sick. I'll go to that.
1:56:40
Dude, they were at like Hershey Park.
1:56:42
Hershey Park. They had them way more fun
1:56:43
though. Dude, it's just like anything
1:56:45
too. It's like a like a skateboard
1:56:46
event versus like a bike event. Like the cultures are just it's
1:56:49
so much different. I just know, you know.
1:56:50
What I mean it's just. Yeah, what you're.
1:56:52
What you're used to is not what someone else is used to.
1:56:55
Yeah, so it's like, it's really cool.
1:56:56
So all about perspective. Yep.
1:56:58
Love perspective. Because like we could look at
1:57:00
the same paint job and be like, dude, that's tight.
1:57:02
Or I could be like, this sucks, but it it doesn't matter.
1:57:05
It is what it is. It's just your perspective of
1:57:07
looking at like, whatever. Same with your friends like
1:57:10
inner been drifting like this is the coolest shit ever and you're
1:57:12
like, dude, I did this yesterday from fucking fuzzies.
1:57:16
Perspective. Perspective is dude.
1:57:19
On Sebastian's podcast, we talked about perspective a lot.
1:57:22
Oh, did we? He was like, he was like, what
1:57:24
did he say something about? Like 90% of life is like how you
1:57:27
perceive. It or something like right
1:57:29
though I mean. For sure, dude.
1:57:30
All three of our perspectives of of that fucking water bottle is
1:57:33
completely different. Yeah, but who's who's to say
1:57:35
we're right or wrong? You know what I mean?
1:57:36
It's just how you visually see something else.
1:57:39
Perspective is huge. I used to think about that a
1:57:41
lot. Perspective, yeah.
1:57:44
Yeah. If perspective's huge, dude, I
1:57:45
think about it all, all the time.
1:57:47
Like my artwork is cool, but to other people it could
1:57:50
potentially suck. Perspective is but.
1:57:52
Doesn't mean it is. You know what I mean?
1:57:53
I think I used to think of it in like a understanding type of
1:57:57
way, like before I was judgment. Like before, I'm being putting
1:58:00
judgment on something. Yeah, so I think it so it
1:58:04
doesn't give you you don't pass judgment, 'cause you're like,
1:58:06
oh, maybe that guy just sees it differently.
1:58:08
Yeah, you know what I mean, 'cause our perspectives are
1:58:10
different. Exactly, yeah.
1:58:12
That's what I was trying to, yeah.
1:58:13
Perception's cool. I use perception to de escalate
1:58:17
my own brain sometimes. Yeah, like, OK, here's an
1:58:20
example. The 1J fucking pissed oil,
1:58:22
right? I've never had anything leak
1:58:25
this much oil before. OK, with it running OK fine.
1:58:29
Just make sure there's oil in it.
1:58:32
My fucking hearts, dude. It was pissing out.
1:58:35
I'm looking out underneath the car now.
1:58:36
If gas is coming out, I'm like, Oh my God.
1:58:38
You had my trailer, though. You're good.
1:58:40
Thank God dude. But anyway, you.
1:58:42
Could get home. Yo, you know I'm tweaking.
1:58:46
That's happening. Anybody listening or knows me?
1:58:50
I'm bugging. You go into like a panic.
1:58:51
State I'm bugging out. I'm trying to think about the
1:58:53
worst situation. I'm like, Oh my God, like this
1:58:55
shit's gonna fucking light on fire or something.
1:58:58
Sit there. End of the day, this shit's
1:59:01
gonna go in the garage anyway. Yeah, it's.
1:59:03
And I have the trailer. Thankfully, one Jay-Z is not
1:59:05
gonna break. I'm gonna fucking fix it.
1:59:08
Yeah, whatever. As long as there's oil in it.
1:59:10
Life went on. I got to eat dinner.
1:59:12
Frankie said I could return the trailer the next day.
1:59:14
Yeah, I was like, oh, thank God. I went to bed.
1:59:18
Yeah, yeah. Ate a bunch of pizza.
1:59:19
Pizza knocked the fuck out. Yeah.
1:59:22
Dude, perception is crazy. It's a big one, man.
1:59:25
People don't think about that stuff.
1:59:27
I I was one of those people. Like, I would just pass
1:59:30
judgement, do all this shit like be like, oh, that guy's an
1:59:33
idiot, but then it's like you don't really know what that
1:59:35
person's going. Through could have a fucking.
1:59:37
Terrible morning. Yeah, so I.
1:59:39
Just pissed off. Somehow I I feel like the
1:59:41
hardest thing to do in life is to somehow think about that
1:59:45
constantly. Yeah, but it's rough, 'cause you
1:59:47
think about you 'cause everyone's fucking salvish.
1:59:49
Yeah, So it's like, it's hard to be that person.
1:59:51
But, like, sometimes you'll have that moment and you're like, all
1:59:54
right, let me chill out. You have a kid.
1:59:57
Change your fucking perception. Yeah, that's a big one.
1:59:59
Well, yeah, because now everything I do.
2:00:02
She makes sense for. My spawn Yeah dude, no.
2:00:05
She makes sense sometimes. You're like you just.
2:00:06
Fucking do this. And, yeah.
2:00:08
Well, yes, and. You're like.
2:00:10
All right. Maybe right.
2:00:11
Well, little kids, I I little kids are the truest form of
2:00:14
honesty. I feel like cause a kid isn't
2:00:17
isn't gonna be born a liar right off the rip.
2:00:19
Yeah, they don't see the kid is gonna be the most honest person
2:00:22
ever. Like Kwan's baby.
2:00:23
Her name's Xena. Fucking grown adult, Can I have
2:00:27
a full conversation with you? No lies, no bullshit.
2:00:29
Right to the. Yeah.
2:00:31
How old is she? I think she's 8 or 7.
2:00:34
Give her another couple years, she'll start lying.
2:00:36
Yeah, no, I'm just. Dude, she's she's so sweet, bro.
2:00:41
She as a. Kid Man, they're wild, but they
2:00:43
change your perception on some shit.
2:00:45
Yeah, no. But I'm telling you, some kids
2:00:47
will tell you straight up some shit and you're like, fuck, like
2:00:50
it really be. It really be your own dude.
2:00:53
I haven't turned that corner yet.
2:00:54
Where think about, you know, I need a spawn or anything like
2:00:57
that, yeah. I think you got a couple steps
2:01:00
that you need to do. No, you do.
2:01:01
Yeah. But like, I remember like a lot
2:01:03
of my friends, like growing up. Like have sex.
2:01:06
Yeah, you just yeah. How?
2:01:06
Does it say like like find a lady?
2:01:08
You know, like, but. You did you ever have those
2:01:10
friends when you were younger that were like, oh, I can't wait
2:01:12
to have a kid or something? Or like, they catch you off
2:01:14
guard? You're like what?
2:01:16
Yeah. No, I didn't.
2:01:17
I was just a friend who just like had a kid.
2:01:19
Yeah, but I mean, like, even before, like, I don't know.
2:01:23
I just have, like, I can think of one right now, My friend Dan
2:01:26
Sharif. Like, he would bring it up.
2:01:27
He'd be like, yeah, one day I want to have a kid and we'd be
2:01:30
like, fucking 15. I'd be like, excuse me, like 16
2:01:32
years old. I'm like what?
2:01:33
Yeah, I've never done that. Fuck that.
2:01:35
I've always wanted kids, though. 16 I.
2:01:36
Was a kid. That's.
2:01:38
Kind of what I'm talking about, kid like you.
2:01:40
You've always won it, you know what I mean?
2:01:41
Like so. Yeah, I always envision myself
2:01:43
with some type of child. I feel like I'm the opposite.
2:01:46
I'm just like. I don't.
2:01:48
Picture it easy. I mean that's not uncommon.
2:01:51
I think nowadays it's not. That's maybe, like definitely
2:01:54
not. Nowadays it's just like I just.
2:01:56
Don't want one? Yeah.
2:01:56
'Cause I always think I'm weird, but then.
2:01:58
It's a life changer. You don't like, You don't like.
2:02:01
That's really what it is too. As a life changer you gotta
2:02:03
think about, not you. Yeah, which is you gotta think
2:02:06
about someone else. Always.
2:02:07
You don't. You've never met like a a woman
2:02:09
where they're like, I don't envision myself having kids or
2:02:12
getting married like or that's that's another one where it's
2:02:15
like we're not ever gonna get married.
2:02:17
We're just gonna be together forever.
2:02:19
Wait, ask the question again. Like.
2:02:20
Like. There's there's a lot of women
2:02:22
out there where it's like that, I feel.
2:02:23
Like where they they don't want a kid.
2:02:25
Yeah, same deal. I fucking hope.
2:02:26
So I think it's a lot more common.
2:02:28
It's a lot commoner. It's a lot more common than you
2:02:30
think. It's a lot, dude.
2:02:30
That's. What they say it's a lot you'll.
2:02:32
Live the sickest life ever. You're gonna be the coolest
2:02:35
fucking aunt and uncle who gives a shit.
2:02:36
Like yeah, but if you're alright.
2:02:37
If you're alright. Maybe a bad person or something.
2:02:39
Why there's billions of people in the?
2:02:41
World, you know. Other people are popping out
2:02:43
fucking like 15 of them. Yeah.
2:02:44
Yeah, some people have them, Don't even want them.
2:02:46
That's the fuck. That's crazy.
2:02:48
So that's pretty wild. That's the shit.
2:02:49
That's not for everyone. It's it's definitely like it.
2:02:52
It changes your life, the things you do, the way you think.
2:02:55
Yeah. You know, I can't just go do
2:02:57
whatever the fuck I want. Yeah, that's.
2:02:59
You know what I mean? Like, I can't live super
2:03:00
regularly. That's what I like.
2:03:01
I got a little kid I gotta take care of too.
2:03:03
You know what I mean? Like she needs a dad.
2:03:04
Yeah, that's crazy, man. A lot of responsibility, 100%.
2:03:09
Carl, are you gonna have kids one day?
2:03:11
Yeah. Maybe I know you are.
2:03:13
I feel like I was. Just talking to you.
2:03:14
I know. Yeah, I.
2:03:15
Probably would just cuz I mean again, I feel like this is such
2:03:19
a subjective asked question. I guess.
2:03:22
If it's on the table. I guess I know Malcolm once the.
2:03:26
Universal. I'm not reaching.
2:03:28
Forward. But if it happens, it happens.
2:03:31
It's not. I'm not against that.
2:03:33
If you listen to this on YouTube, leave a comment below
2:03:35
and tell me if I'm not the only one that doesn't want kids,
2:03:37
please. A lot of people don't.
2:03:39
Yeah. It's like a newer age thing,
2:03:41
dude. You could just live your life
2:03:42
and do exactly what you want all the time.
2:03:44
You can take care of yourself, sustain yourself.
2:03:46
You know what I mean? You're just.
2:03:47
You're you. You don't.
2:03:47
Have to worry about another little human.
2:03:49
But maybe I'll wake up one day and it's.
2:03:50
Like a dog. It's not a dog that kids aren't
2:03:53
dogs. That.
2:03:54
Was a horrible fucking comparison.
2:03:57
And on. Your kid in a cage?
2:04:00
Give her a little fucking food ball, a little water.
2:04:03
On that note, be back Tuesday, he.
2:04:05
Goes on that. Note.
2:04:08
Keep your children in cages. Thank you guys.

2:04:24
Bye, right. No, we're good.

2:04:31
Not what's? The Joe.
2:04:38
Rogan And just like that, Ed Herbison has left the building.
2:04:41
That's a good way to end it. That was nice.
2:04:43
Like Choco, did you listen to one of this shit?
2:04:47
No, you told me about that. Oh, wow.
2:04:49
Damn, that was good, Malcolm. Thanks.
2:04:52
Yeah, that was a great podcast. I love Ed.
2:04:56
He's a funny guy. Yeah, he's he's awesome.
2:04:58
He's very laid back. Chill.
2:05:00
Yeah, chill dude. Fucking amazing artist.
2:05:04
Looking at Miyagi's roof again on the crested Oh was like.
2:05:07
Holy shit like this. He did that.
2:05:09
We got away with murder on that one because.
2:05:12
He's lucky. Yeah, he volunteered to do that.
2:05:15
Yeah. He did not like thousands of
2:05:17
dollars of work. Yeah, we did not get charged the
2:05:19
correct amount of money on that one.
2:05:20
And thank you again Ed for all the hard work you put in and
2:05:24
especially the working with us with the time constraints we put
2:05:28
you through. So thanks again.
2:05:30
If you guys want to check Ed out, his Instagram is Ed is
2:05:32
Peachy and you can see all of his artwork there.
2:05:35
All the motorcycle stuff he does, especially if you have a
2:05:39
chopper or something along those lines, you better hit him up.
2:05:41
People make that thing look one of one, yeah.
2:05:45
He's got a lot of that stuff on there too, so make sure you
2:05:47
check it out. And if you guys are looking to
2:05:48
get your car painted, I mean, you could have caught the drift.
2:05:52
I mean, he, he doesn't like to paint cars, but he's going to
2:05:55
paint cars. So hit him up, hit him up in the
2:05:58
DMS, he'll give you a quote and yeah, go from there.
2:06:04
We're in the podcast studio right now.
2:06:05
We're looking outside the window and the entire wall was down,
2:06:08
so. A lot of renovations going on
2:06:11
here. We're finally getting a bathroom
2:06:13
in the office space, getting that.
2:06:15
Parts, showroom, all done up. I've decided we need to start
2:06:19
calling it the showroom, because the showroom, that's what it is.
2:06:21
Yeah, so I guess that by dancing around my words.
2:06:25
Or let's we could call the showroom showroom or the
2:06:26
storefront. Storefront.
2:06:28
I'm going to call it the Showroom.
2:06:30
OK, I'm going to call it the storefront.
2:06:32
You're going to call it the showroom?
2:06:37
Yeah. I don't know.
2:06:37
It's a park showroom. So whatever.
2:06:40
Yeah, it's it's becoming a reality.
2:06:44
Yeah, To my checking account too.
2:06:46
Yikes. Well, let's not talk about that,
2:06:49
OK. So we got, you know, the shops
2:06:50
back up and running 90% there. We've got the alignment rack
2:06:54
back up. Oh yeah, if you guys need
2:06:56
alignments, come through. And so as soon as the weather
2:07:00
started getting a little nicer, people see Maze right here, the
2:07:02
business started booming. So we appreciate you all for
2:07:05
coming in, emailing us, calling us for quotes and such, and
2:07:08
making appointments. We appreciate it.
2:07:09
Yeah. We've already done more business
2:07:12
this month than we did the entire last month and it's
2:07:14
halfway through. So I'd like to hear that.
2:07:16
Yeah, I don't know what happened last month, but I take one week
2:07:21
off and. No, I think everybody it was a
2:07:24
worldwide nationwide. Nationwide.
2:07:28
Every business was short. OK.
2:07:31
When you get me the analytics on that, I'll take a look at them
2:07:35
moving forward. We have some Origin parts coming
2:07:38
to us in the next one week maybe, let's say.
2:07:41
Two weeks 2 1/2. Let's say 2 because I probably
2:07:44
said one or two last podcast, so let's not let them down that
2:07:47
much. OK?
2:07:49
So one to two weeks. So we're we're going to release
2:07:52
another inventory list once we get it in here and sift through
2:07:56
it. So be on the lookout for that.
2:07:58
It's going to be a lot of offenders and such.
2:08:03
There is some Jay ZX stuff there though.
2:08:04
Jay ZX stuff. We're getting a hood in there,
2:08:09
no? Oh, I should grab that.
2:08:12
I thought you put it in the order already.
2:08:14
Guys, there's an S14 Origin Type 2 Hood.
2:08:17
Zenke, Zenke, if you guys hear this and you need this, you need
2:08:21
to e-mail us immediately because I don't know how the hood didn't
2:08:24
sell yet. They never have hoods in stock.
2:08:26
So let us know if you want that hood.
2:08:30
If not, maybe we'll bring it here, but I probably won't.
2:08:32
So you're probably going to have to order it before that shipment
2:08:34
comes out. And if you haven't already seen
2:08:37
on our Instagram, Malcolm uploaded a in stock inventory
2:08:41
list. All those parts are in stock at
2:08:43
our location. They can be picked up, they can
2:08:45
be shipped whatever you need. So take a look at that.
2:08:48
It's not only Origin, it's Kazama.
2:08:51
What M? Sports.
2:08:52
If I wonder M sports. Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff
2:08:54
on there. So a couple things have sold
2:08:55
already, so just hit us up and and confirm that it's available
2:08:59
if you're interested. And if you need to, you can you
2:09:02
can hit us up on Instagram for something like that.
2:09:05
Yes. If it's already a list on there
2:09:06
and you trying to see if we have it, we'll probably see it.
2:09:09
So if not, shoot us an e-mail. Yes, but be sure to check out
2:09:14
our YouTube, check out our Instagram, check out our Patreon
2:09:18
if you'd like to support us any further.
2:09:21
Yeah, the Patreon is pretty busy.
2:09:23
Yeah, that's the that's the easiest and best way to just
2:09:26
show your support and you know invest in US I guess what's the
2:09:31
best way to say? If you wanna monetarily support
2:09:34
this podcast. Yes, and YouTube, you know, it
2:09:38
helps with everything. Yeah, exactly.
2:09:40
And there's two different tiers on there.
2:09:41
The first tier is the $5 tier. It gets you access to basically
2:09:44
everything in there, and then the $15 tier gets you access to
2:09:48
everything, but also gives you a care package every time we
2:09:52
release new merch. I actually added another tier.
2:09:54
Did you a $10 tier. It offers exactly the same as a
2:09:58
$5 tier. That's just if you want to if
2:10:01
you if you have the money and you just want to support us a
2:10:04
little more, you could give us 10 bucks a month.
2:10:06
Yeah, I just thought about that. I just never did it, 'cause I
2:10:08
just felt like a Dick. But no, yeah, that's not a Dick.
2:10:11
I I do. They have the choice.
2:10:12
That's a that's. AI do see people doing that,
2:10:14
yeah, but maybe you should just add something to it.
2:10:17
We'll we'll revise it if we need to.
2:10:19
We'll converse about that. OK.
2:10:23
I mean, I guess that's it. I don't have my.
2:10:25
Checklist here, so we already hit everything so.
2:10:27
OK, Yeah. All right.
2:10:29
