In this episode we start off by reconfiguring our breaker box to rewire the shop for 220, after that we unbox our latest shipment of parts from lotus. After that we make a window for the rear bulkhead out of acrylic glass. Next we polish up the headlights that we restored in the last episode, and finally we paint the roof with 2 stage black paint.

B is for blank box. 😂👍 You so have my kind of luck. It's so nice to see people with the same kind of luck.
It’s a good job you are a better car builder than you are a sparky. That compressor should go through a switched spur.
Paint is magic to a car!!
That’s funny I bet some guy a lotus was pissed off that his boss had him ship all that to you after your video trashing them LoL 😂
You're very welcome for 'sticking it in'… 🙂
I realize that this is a older shoot… painting and watching your method. The length sweep of the surface and yes, over lap. There is a wrist action at the end of the sweep and release trigger, ends the sweep follow through. When coming in to the next sweep… it is again maintaining that 12 to 14 inches away from your surface, wrist action coming into level, trigger back on before arrival. Even in short surfaces, it is allowing the nozzle to clear, and helps to minimize spattering. Kind of hard to describe in text… but hope that helps and with practice, will find out why, how paint builds up on edges and can then generate runs. Developing that rhythm, is the first thing I learned in painting for consistent results. Wrist action.
u sound afraid to mumble about lotus again…they really scared u off with law huh….box filled with air so u can refill the new air compressor with lotus air….XD
You should also wear painters' full-body safety wear or I do not know how ever it's called to protect even the rest of your body
Love the channel! I have never painted a full car but I'm wondering if you are working against yourself when you sand an do bodywork in your booth. I would also start painting the inside of the body panel and work my way out.
Hey love the channel.. been binge watching the Lotus build.. Love your honesty with mistakes. Helps everyone.. Any little plastic knowledge tip Plexiglass is a Brand of Acrylic.. Sure you prob already heard this.. So basically the sentence about the window to someone who knows plastics was "We used acrylic plastic instead of a composite like Acrylic (plexiglas is a brand of acrylic), polycarbonate (which is a composite Lexan is just a brand), Plastics unlike glass love to burn.. But other than that spot on with scratches as well as far better sound containment.. keep rocking it
The only criticism I"d make about your paint technique would be: Do the rear recessed and low parts first, and don't wag the gun like you did from 21:50– 22:05. Do the parts that aren't visible first, then do the bigger more visible panel second. That way you avoid misting your already glossy finish. Clean, even passes only, avoid those rattle-can habits. Other than that, stellar progress Chris!
Sanding in paint booth a bad idea.
They sent you an empty box…?
Looking forward to your DHL apology video. 😉
Why is he still sanding in his paint booth??
Liked the GoPro footage of spraying.
Like the go pro view better!
I know your probably restricted for space but sanding and painting in the same space is just bad form.
probably should of made 2 booths and had the car outside whilst you are sanding and painting.
Great, it's 2am and I'm watching Chris paint again
plz stop sanding inside your painting area 🙁
Not a pro, but I would not use anything lower then 1000 for the sand paper, I guess the 300 you used fucked up the glass .. Did mine with 1200>1500>2000>3000, not a single mark on it, super slick. Mybe more control by hand also …
Hey Chris I don't know if someone mentioned so excuse me. Would be nice if you instead of mounting the goPro on a PoV, would be easier on the viewer during time-lapse if it were stuck to a corner of the wall near the ceiling instead, less disorienting.

you must wait 3 full day before doing something whit your urethane that gonna help u to dont mess it up more
tell my why part of the tape on the box is already cut before the unboxing. cough cough
Painting is so much better than a few months ago. Thumbs up 🙂
If only you knew how to hot wire power. Thats always fun and safe.
Couple things – (1) safety glasses when you're turning breakers…arc flash is NASTY and if you've got glasses you've at least got a prayer to save your vision, (2) when turning the breakers, turn your head use your non-dominant hand and don't touch anything with your dominant hand… (3) maybe get a CGB for that cord?
No uv proof laquer to seal/protect all the hard work you put in to the headlights?
Well done on building a clean paint area and then forgetting to clean all the dust off the garage door.
So Lotus got mad at you for a video because they didn't respond or give you the correct info. then they send you a box with nothing in it… WTAF do they expect you to react like..
I know nothing about spray painting, but my common sense is telling me that you shouldn't be sanding in your paint booth.
im lovin the evora build chris. keep it up with the crazy aswesome work i love it all
The garage door spray booth is genius! Great job and you've given me an idea to file away in my brain 🙂
What's the outro song?
Can't wait to see thing finished.
1. Set paint booth
2. Sand in it
