Yeah a paint job like that is about 3-4 times thicker than regular ones, they do a lot of thin layers instead of just 3 thick coats of primer, base and clear. I've been looking at a shitload of videos and I really want to start painting cars but I'm so low on cash right now, I don't even have a car myself right now (that'll be rectified when I get paid later this month, but still).

Well I live in an apartment so I don't have anywhere to paint and no I don't have any hardware so I'd have to get all that too. Thinking about getting some cheap airbrush gear to practice small scale though.

Also yeah, when I do get some hardware I'll go down to some junkyard and buy some practice parts.

I've been watching this guy's output for years, he's incredibly talented and every single thing he's put out is an absolute work of art. Just even the layout is crazy, nevermind actually producing the end result.

I sincerely hope he's sponsored by 3M tapes because he must go through a LOT.

Yeah that guy rules, and I think he actually is sponsored by 3M for real!

Lots of good stuff here. There's a nice sponsor-tier aside from Jay around 17m where he makes the claim Michelin makes the roundest tires. He claims his techs have to apply fewer weights when wheels are balanced with Michelins vs. any other brand. Jay has had a few tires mounted in his lifetime so it's an interesting claim for sure.

Also if I twittered I would try twittering him a message that Tire Rack still offers tire shaving. Have used it myself.

Michelin themselves claim that their tires are so well balanced from the factory that they don't come with a mark for the heavy point anymore at least.

Anecdotally, however, my wife's Yoko all-seasons and my all-terrains feel way loving smoother and quieter than Michelin's stiff-rear end, loud-rear end "sport touring" tires ever were, so maybe roundness isn't everything Michelin.

Maybe stick to rating restaurants or something.

Yeah Michelins are notoriously stiff, good on a track I guess but makes the ride less smooth.

I met Eric through fellow goon Toaster Pastry back when they were both in high school. They were both big into Neons back then. In those days I used run around junkyards pulling Honda ECU and TCU to sell on ebay, but it got to a point that I'd never find them anymore. Turns out it was Eric beating me to the punch. He turned that into a whole business. Really good guy, his brother Ryan is also very AI and they're both very involved in the STL car scene. They both also really like their Mazdas.

He seems like a nice guy, good to know it isn't just an act.
