You've definitely got a gift for paint work mate, that was a beautiful job.
Thanks again for watching mate
Helps to have the right equipment
@@TheGunmanChannel good job very nice miroir finish. ? Best dark black paint code? Mercedes 040? 197 obsidien ? Other? I am nedd dark colur m'y car paint 2002 GMC Yukon xl
Nice! I am working for 20 years in cars painting, and i love my job. I like the GTI PRO Lite. Cool videos, very professional and useful!
Florin Han wanted to get into it as a apprenticeship but I don’t know a lot about cars but am interested and to nervous to rock up and not no a lot about cars while everyone knows everything
Will see the courses I've looked at are pretty pricey and full time courses which I can't do with school
I wish I could paint. I just suck at it. I almost always get runs. I just did a vertical panel in white and got one small sag. There was also a small pin head dent I didn’t see until the gloss hit it. Oh well, it’s my work truck and it’s a huge improvement over the original finish which was missing paint to bare metal. I watch the volume of paint you lay down and just don’t see how you don’t get runs every time. Your videos are awesome as alway.
I love this channel, the gunman is the goat with what he does, I'm learning alot, thanks bro.
Awesome job, thanks for comparing the rest of the car with the paint job. It really shows how good of a job you did. Well done mate!
You have a high skill level, I’ve been painting a long time and I’ve enjoyed your vids, spot repair stuff in particular 👍
wow you are my hero realy
i watching you every time and i work with my dodge caliber i just finished sanding today and prepare with spray
i remove all doors and hatch back to spray inside and outside
Thanks alot for this incredible piece of information
Such a beautiful job!
All those folds in the plastic are ideal hiding places for dirt...that's why I prefer film backed paper, because you can tape over a fold a lot easier. I use it at least for a couple of feet around where I'm gonna paint.
Lovely spray work mate, thinking of having my 2018 vehicle resprayed shame I cant fly you over your work is great. My eldest bro did this for years but is retired now :)
Man you must be in big demand over there! Your vids are inspirational, Stay lucky man...
Sou fã do seu trabalho
Looks better than new!
That's unfortunately sometimes a reason to redo the job :)
Painting uyir
Another top job. Great vid.
Very good maaaaaan
Hey pal. I followed your tips. Why is my car having water streaks on painted area when it rains? When it dries up it looks beautiful. Just when it rains overnight?
Really enjoyable video and great skill.
Perfect
good,tidy job.
Nice work man!!!! When you mix your clear coat do you mix it at the company's recommended mix ratio or do you add extra thinner in for it to flow out a little better???
Lots of awesome tips! Thanks man!
I love the style. For the love of paint use some awesome gloves!!!
+Jeppe Bundgaard I always do these days, this is one of my old videos.
hi bud,thats a beautiful finish,good luck
You are able to get a lot of clear on there, what ratio activator are you using and what is the booth temperature? Excellent work. 😁
You are skilled!!
love the videos keep making more gunman !
Beautiful work Brother.
that finish was so sexy. thanks for uploading
with an HVLP gun, should I use a 3/8 or 1/2 inside diameter hose running to the gun ? Thank you !
nice technique. Thank you for sharing.
Good idea
Hey mate do you have any wet on wet tips
If I were to scuff the black paint on my motorcycle. Would I be able to put a different base coat color over it without having to strip the paint off? Great videos btw.
+Ericec4126 Yes. As long as the factory finish is scuffed up/no longer shiny, basecoat will stick just fine.
Good jobs
Nice Job Gunman, So you didn't paint the entire masked area with base coat, You only sprayed where the primer was and nearby area? then the rest of the panel with clear ??? I so than I think it works out a lot better, because I always spray the entire panel with both base coat then clear, and case coat isn't cheap at all.
Hey I have been a painter for about 20 years and have been watching your videos lately. I like them because I use almost your exact method but I'm wondering why you never use clear base or color blenders
I always use it on light metallics but I find them unnecessary with dark and solid colours.
Which gun use for none metallic colours 1.7 nozzles or other plz tell me?
very nice..
Hey gunman nice videos I've been painting 10 years and have actually improved my flag hours using some of your prep techniques. I've noticed you don't do any trucks, I'd like to see you prep and mask a truck painting the bed side and some of the cab like a back door blend or something. The way I've been doing it works fine but I wanna see if you have a faster way that I'm not thinking of.
I used to paint the fleet of tow trucks at the place I worked at and each one got resprayed every few years and various touch ups as required but at my new workshop we don't do any trucks unfortunately so I will find it hard to make a video for you but if you watch this vid you can apply the same technique to any blend using single stage or clear over base as you see me in this one E-Type Jaguar How to "Spot Repair"
where you get this pro equipment??
btw nice job
i wish i was pro like you
Recommendation for a budget friendly black 040 paint in the US? It's on a black mercedes rear bumper
I know it's a completely different material, but can I use a spray gun for spraying a wooden fence? Actually, I intend to use Sadolin Classic for a treated wood. That wood preserver does not address my query
Which clearcoat did you used
i always learn something
Hi mate top work👌
Quick question,painting my front bumper in sapphire black got 2 base coats and have run out of paint,2 days later got more paint can i just continue to lay the coats or would I have to key the bumper again?thank you..keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing this video - I enjoyed watching. Did you wet sand or polish the base coat and/or the clear coat at all? Final product looks amazing!
God job
Nice video, quick question I know you don't have to seal the primer if you don't go through it. But on a new oem prime bumper can you go straight to base paint with out sealing it? Thanks
As long as it's already been primed then a scuff and paint will be all it needs.

Hello The Gunman.On 7.45 seconds with yellow spray gun you used the clear cote on the tank or paint?Sorry for my english.
My Question is would this paint job last as long as a factory Mercedes paint job would. People say it's never the same.
They say they use some type of electro-magnetized paint/primer. I want to get a job done for a BMW but not sure what paint to get or what clear to use to make it last a lifetime and match the quality/consistency.
+whyeff21 Read "why you payments are lasting longer than your paintjob" and you'll come to prefer aftermarket paint. Every manufacturer cheap out on paint. And collision repair place in case of accidents is warrantied to be well over the quality
exellent job man
Thanks
Awesome
Fred Flintstone Thanks :-)
nice
Hey Gunman, enjoying your videos..so much information! I just have a few questions; 1, when painting on plastic say motorbike bodies etc and unsealed bumpers ( what is the process sealer, 1k or 2k primer before base coat?) and 2, are you able to blow 2k base and clear or 2k primers over any paint finish i.e.; acrylic, enamel ? and 3, how can you identify what paint you are dealing with when the job presents itself for work?. your tuition has been awesome to date looking forward to your response..
I notice in vid u mention u swaped between Hvlp on basecoat to Rp with clear coat , I was always told to use a Hvlp gun properly u need a complete hvlp set up including airlines and every thing . are u running a Hvlp set up or is it just normal set but using a Hvlp gun ,
Yes mate what you need to use is "Hi Flow" air fittings and lines. and thats what we use.
Love it
Anybody know why the cap on top of spray cup is open ?
Hello. Gunman. What number of this color black. I need it for my Benz. Thanks
Wow😍
Great video,is this a water based base coat ur applying here ?
Steve Guest I would say it is water based as most solvent based basecoats have been discontinued. Thats not to say you can't still get solvent based but the industry as a whole is now using water base. It's all to do with voc levels. I can only speak for the uk though I'm not sure if this is the case elsewhere.
Which the pistol model print and brand of ink warnish?
What kind of gun do you use? I heard you say but couldn't understand. Good video.
devilbiss GTI pro
Amazing work. Do you have a video with equipment preferences?
It's something I do cover but not a dedicated video as everywhere I work it will vary
The Gunman Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to learn all I can. I am working on a vintage BMW restoration. Btw, I'm guessing no one rents high quality paint guns like what you have do they? (I'm a poor college student)
Myanameis Beestingz No I doubt it unless you know the person and they just loan it to you
The Gunman Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks.
Can I ask what type of paint you are using?
just asking but is there a whole uncut video?
Bashir Sons spray gun bs-222 should be better
Bro I m a also painting spray men already 2 year I m from Malaysia where are you location
How do you prevent or reduce ridges in a two tone paint job?
with or without clearcoat?
how long does it take to do 1 week ?
I really like all the how 2 videos. Thank you. I have a question. How long can i let the paint or my clear sit in my gun with the lid on? I have painted at home for years but im always looking to empty my gun on a surface because i don’t want it sitting in the gun just to fill the gun again to do a second coat. Can it stay for 15 minuets ?
mighty moe It all depends on the hardener in your clearcoat they all have a different "potlife". So if you're using a fast hardener you will have a shorter potlife. In other words the clearcoat will start to harden quicker. You will be just fine to leave the clearcoat in your pot between coats even if using a fast hardener it won't go off in such a short time
Paul Harper . Thanks so much . I never did any schooling on this stuff but got a hell of a CZcams education
You use oven worm air this prof
Hey gunman werr do buy plastic at?
I'm painting my truck camper. It has the oem paint red. I'm painting jet black. Do I need to use primer or go straight to black.
+JJM Gaming you don't have to prime it
Pelo cheiro, acho que o artista não deitou endurecedor no verniz .....
What brand paint do you use
hello I gunman here again, you can tell me why DeVilbiss gti pro lite tekna is better than IWATA WS400? I'm on the site you gave me spraygundirect and I am in doubt which one to buy. can you help me?
Pro lite
ive started painting over one yr shop experience. At school shooting base out of an air gunsa az3 hte 1.3 and clear out of an iwate LPH 400
now at my job i shoot base out of a satajet 2000 digital 1.3 and clear out of a Iwata LS 400 1.3 entech supernovoa.
My boss wants me to buy my own guns stop using his. I want to stay with iwata because i have been using them mostly but am open to other options as i am young 19yrs old and can buy more guns if i feel so. For base I=im considering a 1.4 as i do get dry / rough spots in hard to reach/ recessed areas also i believe it is a bigger fan? I feel like the satajet has a very small pattern I always reduce the base more for the last coat or two to make sure it lays down evenly no stripes . The booth is kind of run down lights burnt out only one side of fume extraction , no seals on the doors always dust in the paint but hey not my shop what can i do. What gun/s would you reccomend for me considering what i have been using, sorry for a big comments/bad english thanks in advance
Five minutes in between the clear coating 🖐️
i'm so piss off my self that i don't do the film's when i spray the car's in my job , now i see how many people need help end looking for adavice , however it stil nice job :)))
Hi after the clear coat did you have any orange peel?
+kamrin formosa it matches the finish of the rest of the car 🍻

hi gunman, am from philippines and am planning to buy devilbiss finishline, the seller say the gun body is made from mexico, nozzle from usa. what do you think? is it original?
+patrick quimmel I would highly recommend looking at the FLG5 from spraygunsdirect.co.uk they are 100% genuine and a reputable seller.
I am pantar from India
where are you that Youre using all these goofy grits of sandpaper?
Your weak ass beard is the only goofy thing here
Downdraft ! where did you spray this ?
This was about 2 years ago when I worked in Perth, decent setup.
+The Gunman Great video. Where in Perth did u work?
👍👏
where can i buy that sanding machine? whats the model nber?
Its a air powered sander I have an erbauer one its the bollox just hook up to compressor
What city are you in?
Whats the name of the plastic that goes over the car? What brand is it? Thanks in advace
We use one of 2 brands, Maks and Crocodile skin its pretty cheap at about $26 a box but we do get a trade discount so to public it may be up to $35. Thanks again for watching Marc
The Gunman Thanks for all the Vids and responses:-)
Does Crystal Clear Pro HS is ceramic clear coat?
No, it's not ceramic clear.
Hello is this channel still active ? I had a question on your back masking
+Edwin I always do my best to keep up with questions but as I've got bigger it gets hard to get to everyone.
For me to come

Why didn't you start spraying from the top down ?
My question exactly...he does this all the time it seems. Also...who wants to spray with a dinky 1.3 fluid needle and make 30 passes per panel to get the build you want? A 1.3 tip might be good for spraying fine silver metallics , but makes clear coating slower than it needs to be. More passes = more likelihood of problems. I wish he would try a 1.5 tip and see how he likes that. Having said that, overall he does a very good job, and produces a good finish...I just cringe watching him having to work so hard... but, maybe that's what he likes about painting. I wish him well.
@@markanthony3275 Mark your right. Gunman should do his clear coats in with a 2.0 tip and just lay it on. Facepalm!
@aaron anderson I think that with over thirty years of experience in the painting /body trade , plus owning a bodyshop of my own, that my opinion is a valid one...and you ? What do you know? Nothing....that's what you know.
@@61spindrift Never said 2.0...I said 1.5...in case you can't do the math that's a small increase of fluid needle size of .2.
😃😃😃

czcams.com/video/_-MimyH3fKY/video.html
