With the internet and YouTube today, we are overloaded with information. The problem is determining what is helpful and what is not. I receive many auto related question online and some of them are if the tips, tricks, and auto related products really work or not. So I decided to do this series of videos to put these tips, tricks, and products to the test to see if they work for me or not.
Sure, there may be some truth behind most things. For example, does paintless dent repair work. The answer, of course it does. However, does that mean that the average DIY consumer can find a few pry bars and perform PDR. No, it will not work. PDR requires special tools and hours of practice, which is not practical for the average DIY consumer.
These tests are not from a professionals perspective, but from the average DIY consumers searching for answers to determine if the trick or products is worth spending their money and/or effort to perform.
When I get a question, I will test it to see if it works for me or not. It may work for some people and not others, but I will tell you what I think. Then you can decide for yourself.
If you have something that you would like for me to test, then leave a comment below.
Remember: If Something Is Worth Doing, Then Do Your Best and Have a BLAST Doing It

Hi Donnie Smith.
Hi` Donnie,
I am watching your videos from Australia, I love watching your videos great information, I was a painter and decorator before I retired and I also sprayed a few cars in my time, Also did bath resurfacing using two pack paint.
This water paint system seems the way of the future and much safer to use for health reasons. Keep up the good work.

Hi Donnie,
Along the lines of Does That Really Work, can you address the pros/cons of using a turbine fed HVLP system? I’m interested in refinishing my car and am planning/budgeting for equipment. For my particular needs, I could use a turbine system for a broader array of other projects than I could using a large compressor. I’ve seen a lot of people who claim they’ve gotten really good results using a turbine, but don’t actually know anyone who has done it so I haven’t seen the finish first hand. From what I understand, if the turbine can produce the cup pressure needed by the gun/paint then you should be okay. The only problem is the turbine heats the air, but if you adjust the reducer accordingly for the temperature I’m guessing you’d be fine. Can you comment?
Thanks!
