[00:00:47] Speaker B: Thank you for having me.
[00:00:48] Speaker A: Welcome to Las Vegas.
[00:00:49] Speaker B: First time here in a long time. First time at sema. Yeah, used to drive out here, believe it or not. Really in my parents RV in Florida. 3 1/2 days from Florida.
[00:00:58] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:00:59] Speaker B: Man. I think we really, really had experiences I can think about and talk about for years to come.
[00:01:06] Speaker A: Came to Las Vegas, but not to sema.
[00:01:07] Speaker B: Never to sema.
[00:01:08] Speaker A: Okay. So family trips and stuff.
[00:01:10] Speaker B: Family trips. And they say that Vegas wasn't for kids, but let me tell you, we had a lot of fun.
[00:01:14] Speaker A: Yeah, I bet you did.
[00:01:15] Speaker B: A lot of fun. But first time at sema. Thank you for having me.
[00:01:18] Speaker A: Yeah, no problem. So I know you only got in yesterday.
[00:01:20] Speaker B: Got in the day before, day before we. We flew in on Tuesday night after school and got in late and you know, it's a time change.
[00:01:29] Speaker A: Yes, east coast too.
[00:01:32] Speaker B: Yeah, three hours plus the time change. We're like four hours out of whack right now. But I got a lot of sleep last night. I'm feeling good. I'm feeling really good. So.
[00:01:39] Speaker A: So what was your impression of the show walking around yesterday? Like, is it totally overwhelming?
[00:01:43] Speaker B: Like people tell you so much, like bring your shoes. Like I text one of my closest friends, I'm like, what do I need? Bring a good pair of shoes. Don't bring the style. Stylish. I brought my dad's shoes.
[00:01:52] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:01:52] Speaker B: I brought my most comfortable socks. And the amount of square footage, you think that you've seen everything. This is the first time in this hall.
[00:01:59] Speaker A: Did you get all four halls yesterday?
[00:02:01] Speaker B: I don't even know. I think we made all four halls. But going through okay. Like in transit, you know, so just to sheer. And I heard this is the second largest show, not even a first, so. So I can't even imagine how big that would be.
[00:02:18] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:02:18] Speaker B: Yeah, so very, very, very big, grand scale here. Almost overwhelming.
[00:02:24] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Enjoying it so far.
[00:02:26] Speaker B: Enjoying it so far. We got one more day, so we're looking. I want to see as much as I can, but I also want to see the city a little bit as well.
[00:02:32] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, not too much of it though.
[00:02:35] Speaker B: Just a little bit of it. Just where the food is good.
[00:02:37] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:02:37] Speaker B: You know, so.
[00:02:39] Speaker A: So give us the backstory on Paint Society. How did you get started? You mentioned you're a teacher, right? About your profession day.
[00:02:46] Speaker B: Yeah. So the story kind of goes, you know, my parents are both teachers.
[00:02:50] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:02:51] Speaker B: We kind of grew up in an educational background. Always, you know, go to school, get your education. Didn't really know what I wanted to do. I actually wanted to be an airline pilot. That was a big, big dream of mine. And of course, when you're young, you listen to your parents, don't go on an airplane, you're gonna die. All this thing is like, okay, so. And that kind of diverted easily, you know. So I ended up going like, what do I like? Well, I like kids generally. I'm an elementary school teacher, PE teacher. I like sports. I did an internship with that and went to school with that and I loved it, you know, But I always had this passion for working with my hands.
[00:03:25] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:03:25] Speaker B: My hands were my tools and working in my garage since I was little, building things, rector sets, Legos, just. I didn't even need a Lego set out of a box. Just, you know, just the box, all the Legos in the box, all a big mess. And I was just always hands on and getting into the education career, you know, I had. We go through a lot of different educational meetings and trainings and different ways to teach her children with different characteristics. And I wanted to adapt that in some sort of way. Coming up in years, moving on. I had done a lot of painting in my parents garage, a lot of overspray on their cars. I went through it all.
[00:04:08] Speaker A: So you were a DIY guy?
[00:04:09] Speaker B: I was a DIY guy because back then, and we'll get to this later, I'm sure DIY was different from what it is now. It's easier now, you know, and YouTube was not a big thing yet. It was just very, very small. So I had end up creating Paint Society for that person that was myself years ago.
[00:04:32] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:04:33] Speaker B: I created Paint Society for folks that were in my shoes when I had nothing to learn by.
[00:04:39] Speaker A: When did you launch that?
[00:04:40] Speaker B: I launched it right before COVID So I've been about, I would say a good five Years or so. And Covid actually helped the channel so.
[00:04:50] Speaker A: Much, as we know, because we did really well during COVID as well, because people were at home and had projects.
[00:04:57] Speaker B: It was a tough time for a lot of people. Obviously, we were off of school, but Covid was just. Everyone was home doing their projects or watching Paint Society.
So that's when I really started to get a little bit more comfortable. I had the funny part. I was just coming off of a relationship and I was home. And, you know, when you're home and you're doing nothing, I'm like, I gotta do something. And YouTube was something I had done 10 years prior, and I didn't stick with it. And I always thought getting into YouTube, I would be too late into the game.
[00:05:26] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:05:26] Speaker B: And I said, I'm gonna do it. And I went to Walmart, I bought a GoPro, I bought a laptop, and there's a picture of me with it on my head. And I said, I'm doing this. And I just started making content, not knowing where it was gonna go.
[00:05:39] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:05:40] Speaker B: So.
[00:05:40] Speaker A: But with the intention of teaching people how to paint.
[00:05:43] Speaker B: So the intention, always and still is, is for my do it yourself audience to give them the confidence that they need to do their projects. And a lot of folks that watch the videos, honestly, they're not looking for perfection. They're looking for something that they can do, they can be happy with and say they did it themselves.
[00:06:00] Speaker A: Right.
[00:06:00] Speaker B: You know, and that's why the collaboration between Eastwood and Paint Society has been so great in that. Because everything that they need, they can get, and I can help them get to that point.
[00:06:10] Speaker A: Yeah. How many subscribers are you up to at this point?
[00:06:13] Speaker B: It's died down. It's dying down through the years, but we're still capturing 500 and I think 72,000 subscribers.
[00:06:21] Speaker A: Substantial audience.
[00:06:22] Speaker B: Yeah. It's funny, when I first started, when you get to a thousand subscribers, you can monetize. So it's a big deal. All right. I can run an advertisement. Maybe I'll make this lucrative for myself, you know? And then it started to jump. I got the 10,000 subscribers that I was sitting at dinner with my wife at the time.
Well, my wife now. And I was like, I'm nervous.
[00:06:45] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:06:46] Speaker B: 10,000 people are watching me. You know, I gotta say everything right? This is. It's a lot to take in in a short amount of time.
[00:06:53] Speaker A: Sure.
[00:06:54] Speaker B: You know, as. Over time, that number grows and it grows. And as YouTube likes your videos, they. They show it. And YouTube is a whole nother situation, but they have you know, there's ups and downs with YouTube.
[00:07:05] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:07:05] Speaker B: And as being a content creator, you have to have the passion for teaching people and not be about the views.
[00:07:13] Speaker A: Right.
[00:07:13] Speaker B: That's the most important thing.
[00:07:15] Speaker A: How do you manage it with your. With your school job?
[00:07:17] Speaker B: It's tough.
[00:07:17] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean you must always be on, right.
[00:07:19] Speaker B: So. Yep. So my normal day is I'm up at. I'm usually stopping at the shop before.
[00:07:25] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:07:25] Speaker B: I go into Acura, my dealership, for a good 30, 40 minutes and I'm not working, but I'm unmasking the car that I did the day before. I'm getting things organized. Maybe it was a late night and I left and I didn't put everything back the way I want to. So I'll stop by Acura, then I'll be at my school. I'm a PE teacher 16 years now in the county doing it. I love that. And I'm working there till 3 o'clock and by the time I leave, by 3:15, I'm standing a car.
[00:07:52] Speaker A: So you don't have the grade papers at least, right?
[00:07:53] Speaker B: I don't have the grade papers. A lot of the teachers at school, I don't know.
[00:07:56] Speaker A: I'll be honest, I was wondering.
[00:07:58] Speaker B: I stopped fighting the fight. I stopped fighting the fight. We know I have one of the nicer jobs in the school system, but it's also a very important job as well. And let me tell you, they. They don't have the great papers, but also they don't have to teach outside.
[00:08:10] Speaker A: That's true.
[00:08:10] Speaker B: And it's very hot outside.
[00:08:12] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:08:12] Speaker B: Every day. And you're in Georgia, I'm in Florida. The humidity. Oh yeah, I'm sure there's humidity in Georgia as well, you know, but the humidity down there is just extremely intense. So it's a good thing. I'm very close to the dealership, close to my school. So by 3:15 I'm working for the dealership.
[00:08:29] Speaker A: That's why I was going to ask you do paint work for the dealership.
[00:08:33] Speaker B: So that's how it started.
[00:08:34] Speaker A: And use their facilities to do the recording.
[00:08:36] Speaker B: So I'm able to capture two audiences and those two audiences are to do it yourselfer. And we have a lot of struggling painters that are starting in the industry that just need that help to get that kickstart to get painting. So to get back to our point, we're there till about 8 o'clock and in some way or form there's some editing in and around that point and trying to balancing a family now. Right before I started YouTube, I didn't have the family.
[00:09:05] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:09:05] Speaker B: Now we've added that element into it. So there's a, there's a big dynamic.
[00:09:09] Speaker A: Changes things a bit.
[00:09:10] Speaker B: It changes things, life changes. But we, we have obstacles and we overcome them.
[00:09:13] Speaker A: Yeah. You know, so that's a great arrangement you've got at least.
[00:09:16] Speaker B: Yeah, it's working now. I think when I, when I'm older, I'll come back and I'll look back and say, wow, I really gave it everything. And I'm happy with the time that I spent doing what I love each and every day.
[00:09:26] Speaker A: That's right.
[00:09:27] Speaker B: So, yeah, it's going good so far.
[00:09:29] Speaker A: What was the first car you painted at home? Yourself.
[00:09:31] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:09:32] Speaker A: And how did it turn out?
[00:09:33] Speaker B: Okay, this is a great question. So the first full car I painted myself was my honda Accord. So 2005, this, this car has a funny story because I bought it in 2005, brand new Honda Accord, night hot black pearl. And the car was my car for about a good five years. And when you're young, you don't make the best decisions. You sell a brand new car that's paid off, think it's something that's more shiny because you're living in your parents house. You don't have real bills at the time. So what matters to you as a 21 year old is getting another car. Whatever, you know, that's what it is. So I got another car. That car actually got sold to my sister. So it's still in the family now. My sister's not gonna take care of the car the same way I am. Fast forward five years later, I get the car back, I buy it back because she's getting another car. And I'm like, I'm gonna paint this car. And I painted it in at that time, my sister's garage.
[00:10:24] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:10:25] Speaker B: And I sanded it all down and.
[00:10:28] Speaker A: Same color or same color, just a refresh of it.
[00:10:31] Speaker B: And I kind of knew what I was doing, but not really. I just remember. It's funny, every time I hit the gun on the. Hit the trigger on the gun, just thinking to myself, what's going to happen this time? What's going to go wrong this time?
It's a difference between now and then. Then was a prayer. Now is a distinguishing. Knowing exactly what went wrong and how it will go. Long story short, it came out orange peely.
[00:10:56] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:56] Speaker B: Had some runs with the power of sandpaper. We made this thing look good.
[00:11:00] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:11:01] Speaker B: And if you fast forward for just a couple of months ago, we did the final repaint on that car, it was me taking back all the problems I had in the garage for years. I wanted to fix them. And we completely refinished that car. It's looking better than the day I bought it when I was 18 years old.
[00:11:17] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:11:18] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:11:18] Speaker A: So I did one paint job at home in my garage. It was a BMW single stage red Nissan. Cheap paint and same thing I. Very orange peely.
[00:11:31] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:11:32] Speaker A: You know, I didn't mix enough paint. I was worried it was going to catalyze and harden while I was working. So I had to mix halfway through the paint job. And the blend didn't work. It was a different color. I had to go back and reshoot it after sanding it. But it came out really, really well. I was happy in the end. Was not as intimidating as I thought. Once I was in the garage, I probably didn't prep it as well as I should have, but I think, yeah, that's the thing you learn over time as well. Yeah.
[00:11:56] Speaker B: You won't know everything when you're doing it, but if you do it enough and it's repeated, you're going to pick it.
[00:12:02] Speaker A: I look back now and I'm amazed I got through it in the timeframe. I did, too. I don't have any time now to do a lot of my own stuff, but I was busy then. Had a young kid and same thing. Somehow I did it.
[00:12:12] Speaker B: And it's a story you never forgot.
[00:12:15] Speaker A: For most people, what's the biggest hurdle to doing their first paint job? Is it knowing, like, what paint to choose, or is it the skills?
[00:12:25] Speaker B: It's a very good question that you ask. And it's not the skill.
[00:12:29] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:12:30] Speaker B: It's what do I have to use first? What is the sandpaper grits I have to use?
[00:12:35] Speaker A: Right.
[00:12:36] Speaker B: What is the process of the refinement? How long do I have to wait in between paints? What kind of paints do I need? What is the air pressure I need? Those are all the. These are the most common questions I get in my DM. And these are the questions I get into my DMs that I make videos about. Okay, so, like, what is the process? What is the first thing I have? Fading paint? Do I need to go down the metal? I'm going to always give you the best answer and you're going to decide what you're going to do. I'm going to give you two answers. Here's the best answer. But if you want to do a budget job, then you can do this instead. You're going to start with this grit, you're going to work it up. You're going to use this primer. They want to know what primers you can use. And I think you had a question about that as well later.
[00:13:14] Speaker A: So.
[00:13:14] Speaker B: So we won't get into that too much, but basically the processes and what compressor do I need? Yeah, you know, that's a big question. The equipment. What equipment do I need? I mean, this. I say don't overthink. It's just paint, but there's a lot that goes into it.
[00:13:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:13:29] Speaker B: The reason why that's my catchphrase is because I don't.
[00:13:31] Speaker A: Which I love that by the way.
[00:13:33] Speaker B: I'm telling you, at the end of the day, the reason why I say that is it's just the car.
[00:13:36] Speaker A: Right.
[00:13:36] Speaker B: You could sand it down and redo it, do it again, you might lose a few bucks.
[00:13:39] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:13:40] Speaker B: But it's just the car. It's not life or death. So don't overthink it. Use your best judgment.
[00:13:44] Speaker A: I think the biggest question I see, you know, inbound from our end is how much paint do I need to paint a whole car? Like, give somebody a ballpark.
[00:13:54] Speaker B: Are you going to redo it? Are you going to mess it up?
[00:13:56] Speaker A: Right. So what are the questions they need to ask to follow that up?
[00:13:59] Speaker B: Right. Yeah. I'm going to tell you.
Buy what you think you need. But I have a paint calculator video which kind of helps. I estimate between 5 and 8 ounces per panel.
[00:14:10] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:14:11] Speaker B: You know, depending on your truck or your car or whatever it is per material.
[00:14:15] Speaker A: Right.
[00:14:16] Speaker B: You know what I mean? You always want to have extra. So the OEM Eastwood paint, the select paint.
It depends on the color too.
[00:14:25] Speaker A: Right.
[00:14:25] Speaker B: If you're going to do a blue that takes longer for it to cover. Are you using a black primer? The Eastwood black primer. And going over it with the black paint, that's going to be less.
[00:14:34] Speaker A: So there's no simple answer.
[00:14:35] Speaker B: There's no simple answer.
[00:14:36] Speaker A: Which is what we always come back to.
[00:14:37] Speaker B: Yeah. It's difficult. Always buy more.
[00:14:40] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:14:41] Speaker B: Because you're going to end up. If you're a do it yourselfer, you're going to end up redoing something.
[00:14:47] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:14:48] Speaker B: Always happens.
[00:14:48] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:14:49] Speaker B: And you don't want to have to. Not when you want to redo something. If you're like myself, I want it done yesterday.
[00:14:54] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:14:55] Speaker B: I don't want to wait to get the shipping and all that stuff. So I would say a gap for a small size car, a gallon reduced. And I know you guys sell Your paint reduced.
[00:15:04] Speaker A: Right. Yeah. There's always the calculation with reduction, which.
[00:15:07] Speaker B: Is good because it's already done. It takes the guesswork out of something that seems so simple to anyone, like myself. Might be difficult to someone. How do I mix paint? That's another big question.
[00:15:15] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:15:15] Speaker B: So I would tell you, depending on the color, if you're going to have good coverage, get a gallon of paint, Get a gallon of clear, clear kit. And if you feel like you have, you might need more, just buy a little bit more at that time. You're always. If you're doing yourself, you're going to use it for something else.
[00:15:29] Speaker A: Yeah. You know, what's the best advice for somebody painting a car in their home garage? Like, what do they need to do?
[00:15:35] Speaker B: Obviously, you need to be clean, clean, clean. You know, the biggest issue you're going to run into when you're painting in your garage is dirt.
[00:15:44] Speaker A: Right.
[00:15:44] Speaker B: You know, and even in professional spray booth, you're gonna get dirt. You're not going to get it as much. And if you have good processes, whether you're home or you're in a spray booth, you can limit that amount of dirt. Okay. So whether it's wetting the floor, whether it's plastic sheeting, everything off. Because when we paint, we also want to make sure we don't get overspray on everything that we're painting around.
[00:16:09] Speaker A: My garage floor was entirely. I didn't wet the floor. I didn't know about that. Entirely red afterwards, you know, just from the overspray.
[00:16:16] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. And you don't want to ruin everything else. You got a car paint that came out good. But what about my toolbox? What about everything on my tv? If you have in a garage, you know, so cleanliness is key. I'm going to tell you something. The biggest advice I can give to any. Do it yourself for painting a garage is don't paint the car at one time. It's a big undertaking. Yeah, it's a big undertaking for me to paint a whole car at once in a paint booth. What happens is you start to get cloudy and you start to forget where you left off. The whole garage is a mess.
[00:16:43] Speaker A: Yeah. Break it in the haze. After a while, you can't see. You can't see. Yeah. Disorienting.
[00:16:48] Speaker B: You can't see what you're doing. You're not going to get a good paint job, especially if you do it yourself or you don't have a lot of experience. So my best advice to you all is if you're going to paint A car. Take off as much as you can or take it off or tape it off. Do one side at a time.
[00:17:03] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:17:03] Speaker B: The next day, do the other side. Don't overwhelm yourself when doing it.
[00:17:07] Speaker A: I started with the bumpers. I had the bumpers off and painted the bumpers first. I thought that was, you know, I'm going to have orange peel. I'm going to do it on a small section on a racket.
[00:17:15] Speaker B: That's where I started. My first YouTube name or Instagram name was Bumper Brian.
[00:17:20] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:17:21] Speaker B: And I would paint all the bumpers for all the teachers at school. And that's my. Was in my little mini business, you know. Bumper Brian. Go see Bumper Brian. They. They still joke with me when I walk through the hallways at Acura or at school. Bumper Brian. And that's a great way to get started. Bumpers are a little bit. The easiest things to paint on a car.
[00:17:37] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:17:37] Speaker B: And then because the bumpers, if they're off by color a little bit, you can't tell. But when you're painting a panel.
[00:17:42] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:17:43] Speaker B: And then another panel, they have to match. Look at a car from the side, you can tell if it's not matching a bumper. You can't get away with, you know.
[00:17:49] Speaker A: Yeah. You mentioned earlier, it's easier today for people to get started in diy. And probably a lot of it has to do with guys like you that are doing video tutorials and teaching people.
What else has happened in the marketplace to make painting at home easier.
[00:18:04] Speaker B: We've seen a big change in the technology of the 2K aerosol spray can.
[00:18:09] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:18:09] Speaker B: It has changed the whole entire game. And the reason being is before we'd have to go to our local store and AutoZone, hope they have our color right. And get that little spray can that spits out paint. And we all know the little duplicolors.
[00:18:23] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:18:23] Speaker B: They're still there. They haven't changed in years. No, they've actually gotten smaller and more expensive.
So I don't know how that works. And they had the 1k clears. Those are not good products.
[00:18:36] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:18:37] Speaker B: The two. Now you're telling me that I don't have to buy.
[00:18:40] Speaker A: You need a catalyzed product.
[00:18:41] Speaker B: You need a catalyzed product. You're telling me now I don't need a good compressor also. Do it yourself, guys. They want to paint their fender. They want to paint their bumper. They want to do little small stuff. Now I can get my paint mixed, which, by the way, has been out for a little while, but it's. It's available on Eastwood, but you get your paint mixed in a can to your color code. But I can protect it with a very similar shine that a body shop's going to give you with a 2K Pro product which locks it in, it dries in a good amount of time and it has a great shine that you can polish out so you can get professional style finishes in your garage. Now is like our show car. Clear. And your spray can going to be the same exact product. It's not right because it can't be to spray out of a small can. You know, the nozzles look tiny. Tiny. You're not going to get that same product. But the fact is it has a 2k harder hardener in it and it has a great shine and you can get results that I've used at home. Very proud of. Yeah, very, very.
[00:19:38] Speaker A: Yeah, we've done some videos on that as well. Adam, our producer has done his tailgate turned out amazing. The maroon one. Yeah, the maroon one. If you, if you didn't know that had been repainted with aerosol cans, you'd never know it.
[00:19:49] Speaker B: Beautiful. And that's tricking. Not tricking, but just people think that that came out of a spray gun. You can be more efficient with spray can than spray guns. Because think about it. A spray gun, you just hit the nozzle. Right. A spray gun in order to get it to atomize. Well, to come into that spray gun. Well, there's a lot of adjustments that need to be made when you go to spray. It's one adjustment. It's just your finger. Yeah, that's it. Everything's already itemized and coming out of the can.
[00:20:14] Speaker A: The nice thing about the aerosols too is it takes the kind of difficult conversation at the, at the paint chop away. You know, like, what are you looking for? Are you looking for an acrylic? Are you looking for, you know, like all the different chemistries? Yeah. You don't know if you're a first timer. That was the most intimidating part for me getting started was just having a conversation about buying a gallon of paint.
[00:20:35] Speaker B: Yeah, you need that. You need.
[00:20:37] Speaker A: And of course they're asking me, you know, what brand do I want? I'm like, this is the first time. Yeah, I don't know. I want red paint.
[00:20:42] Speaker B: You don't know. The majority of people that walk into the paint store are overwhelmed if they've never been there before.
[00:20:47] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:20:47] Speaker B: And having, you know, paint society or Eastwood to make it a little bit easier for you. Hey, it takes the guesswork Out. Which is so important.
[00:20:56] Speaker A: You've got a vehicle here at SEMA this year, right?
[00:21:00] Speaker B: I kind of. Yes, kind of, kind of.
[00:21:02] Speaker A: You worked on one.
[00:21:03] Speaker B: We have. So the Segola brand, they have the good spray guns. They. We did a collaboration with Tada Cat and she's just an amazing artist.
[00:21:12] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:21:12] Speaker B: And I was invited up to do some. The basis of the paint job, which is. I forget the terminology. Exactly. But I put a video up of it. But kind of put this. It kind of crystallizes. It kind of put the solution on the actual panels.
[00:21:26] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:21:26] Speaker B: And over time it crystallizes and then you spray paint over it. And basically when you wipe it off, it leaves a nice cool design.
[00:21:34] Speaker A: Okay. A texture or is it just.
[00:21:36] Speaker B: It is rough at first, but when it goes to be clear coated, it smooths it out, levels up. Yeah. It's so cool. That's. I'm not big into the custom thing. I. But I can appreciate it very, very.
[00:21:49] Speaker A: What's the vehicle?
[00:21:50] Speaker B: It's a F150.
[00:21:51] Speaker A: Okay. South Hall.
[00:21:52] Speaker B: I'm guessing south upper Hall. Yeah.
[00:21:54] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:21:54] Speaker B: Yeah, if you get a chance to check it out.
[00:21:56] Speaker A: Yeah, we'll definitely check that out.
[00:21:57] Speaker B: Amazing.
[00:21:57] Speaker A: We've been through so many vehicles and you blew through like all these halls the last couple days capturing video.
[00:22:03] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:22:03] Speaker A: But we'll definitely get back up.
[00:22:05] Speaker B: You have to check it out. Yeah, yeah.
[00:22:08] Speaker A: You work with a lot of companies. The question we were kind of chatting about before we got rolling here was like, what's. What is it you like about working with Eastwood out of all the companies you work with? I mean, it's obviously a little different than some of the others you work with.
[00:22:22] Speaker B: So one of the main reasons why I like Eastwood is because when. I don't want to say when I had a smaller audience, but when I was much smaller, they reached out to me and saw something in me. There's a few select companies that saw me in a very young subscriber rate and very young Brian and paid society that saw the value in who I was. And those companies mean a lot to me. And the reason why I liked Eastwood is because again, it's just they have all they. They make everything so easy for the do it yourself. Yeah. Everything's explained well. A lot of the products paired together. They've taken, like I said, a lot of the guesswork out and they have everything. Everything. Like you can literally go to the Eastwood website and paint your whole car from the website.
[00:23:06] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:23:06] Speaker B: You don't have to go here and order this from this place. Or this. And if they don't have it, a third party will have it available on the website. If it's not a Eastwood brand.
[00:23:13] Speaker A: Right.
[00:23:14] Speaker B: But all the. All the products that you use, they're tried, they're tested and they work. So it's a community. It's a good website that everyone can go to and use any of the products they need to get your car painted. With the support of the social media as well. A lot of great social media Eastwood has on YouTube on how to use their product as well. The backing, it's very good. And that's why I like making videos with Eastwood because I was there as a. Do it yourself as well. And I want those folks to have that same experience, but better than what I had.
[00:23:46] Speaker A: Cool.
[00:23:46] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:23:47] Speaker A: Appreciate that. We didn't pay you to say that.
[00:23:49] Speaker B: And I have not received a dime from Eastwood.
[00:23:52] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:23:53] Speaker B: At all. Because I don't believe in it because I believe in their products.
[00:23:56] Speaker A: Well, that's. That's great to hear.
[00:23:57] Speaker B: Yeah. The. The most genuine testimonies are the ones that are help heartfelt and used and I feel good about it. You know what I mean? It's a good product.
[00:24:08] Speaker A: Appreciate hearing.
[00:24:09] Speaker B: Really is. Yeah.
[00:24:10] Speaker A: What's next for Paint Society?
[00:24:12] Speaker B: What's next?
[00:24:12] Speaker A: What do you have on the horizon?
[00:24:14] Speaker B: I'm trying to change the dynamic a little bit of my videos and make them a little bit more entertaining, I think.
[00:24:19] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:24:19] Speaker B: I think as time progresses, sometimes it can get monotonous. You know, I want to bring. I'm fun, I'm funny. That hasn't come through in the videos as much. I want to. I'm going to have my do it yourself videos that I've always done, but I'm going to bring a fun vibe into it a little bit more. Not vlogging so much, but I've. I've started to change the intros of my videos a little bit. A little bit more personal. People don't really know who I am or. And I think it's good to have that connection with Eastwood, so doing that. And also we have some more color change. We have my RSX organic color change from white to blue. We'll be using some Eastwood products. My favorite product, Eastwood makes one of the best epoxies and it's on my Honda Accord I was talking to you about. And the cool thing about that is you can use it as a sealer or the epoxy primer itself as well. So we're going to be doing some Eastwood undercoating. I'm excited to use we have our old yukon. You ask what's coming up as well. We're going to be shooting a yukon. We did a rust repair on it and we used the oem select aerosols and that did it for my buddy jeremy. Came out amazing. We have a junkyard hood. Actually. When I get home, it's my first project.
[00:25:28] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:25:28] Speaker B: We're going to be doing it in the backyard. We're going to take it down the metal, build it back up with the eastwood epoxy. We have some fillers and different things like that to get it back up. So we look forward to seeing that as well.
[00:25:40] Speaker A: Great. Well, we'll. We'll keep watching that.
[00:25:42] Speaker B: Have to watch that.
[00:25:42] Speaker A: Really appreciate you coming by and spending time with us. I know you got a busy show because you're not here all week, and.
[00:25:47] Speaker B: This is one of the things I definitely wanted to get to. Really, really interesting.
[00:25:51] Speaker A: Really appreciate you stopping by and. Yeah, it was great to meet you.
[00:25:53] Speaker B: Thank you. Brian.
[00:25:54] Speaker A: Is that brian with another Brian with a y?
[00:25:56] Speaker B: Brian with a y. Yeah, we still get along.
