The Mongrel Project Gets Paint!!! The Color Is On And Awesome Even If It Isn’t Perfect

When Matt from Urchfab had issues with a body shop that was going to paint his Mongrel project, he was mad but ultimately got over it and decided to jump head first into the “paint your own car” pool. He knew what you are supposed to do, sort of, and watched tons of YouTube videos on painting cars to make sure he knew what he needed to pay attention to, and got a great company to help him out by providing the right products for his project. As he got started on the bodywork, and as he has prepped or painted anything that needed it, he’s made mistakes and told us all about it. That’s not to say it hasn’t turned out nice, because he is making great progress, but he’s made sure we all see the mistakes and the lessons he’s learned.

In fact, in this video he talks about the videos he has watched, where experts tell you what to do and what it should look like when you do it right. This is cool, but as Matt points out, what you really need is someone showing you how to identify and then fix what you are doing wrong and why. Smooth and shiny is right, and we all know that. But what are we doing wrong when it isn’t shiny as we spray it? Those are the lessons that folks need when trying to figure out how to paint their own cars.

I know, because I have a car that needs paint and I want to paint it myself. I’m sure I will, and thankfully I have several body and paint friends to tell me I’m doing it wrong and how to do it right. Not everyone is so lucky.

Watch the video, and tell us what you think about the color on the Mongrel. We dig it and can’t wait for the rest to be painted and for the entire thing to be cut and buffed into perfection.

    Werder Nice work and projekt. However i personally hate the colour and wish he had painted it some really poping red or blue or pretty much any other colour than this. Puke green dosent do any car justice period. Of course i am Aware he must paint the colour he wants just because it is his car, and this is just my personal taste. The rest of the build is wery awsome and fantastic.
