- Learn what a Viscosity Cup is and how to use it in this step by step video on Mixing Automotive Paint Correctly to Specifications, I have also taken some time to explain how to read a paint can and what everything means. I will demonstrate using Standox Crystal Pro Clear HS, DuPont Centari 6000 Basecoat and also Duxone clear
Learn how to Spray Paint like a Pro by following this Comprehensive guide to Automotive Refinishing.

Thank you I learned something new vocosity cup !❤
Thanks for the information. I spray now and again so I forget what the viscosity looks like off a stick. So I bought a cup just to be consistent.
Thanks for your effort in every video you make. I’m an hobbist spacing in many areas. Years of your professional experience at our disposal have no price. I find in your channel probably more that i can even find elsewhere in either real life or internet. I’m learning a lot, really really thanks agin for your great work and time you spend doing such great videos. 💪
Took me back to the Classroom !!!
Beautiful instructional video,
Gunman. !!!
Blessed !!!
Never lose interest watching and always learning your tutorials Gunny. Hope to show you my learnt skills for my at home work on my cars.
Thanks for the vid, i havent used any clears that call for thinner just the hardener so in this case if you added more hardener you would lose the gloss. This video like all the others will continue to increase my ability for better paint jobs
I always learn something from your videos mate. Thanks
great video, nice clear instructions which I found very helpful.
thank you gun man for the best video in youtube i saw all your videos im new in body shop..from los angeles thanks man..:)
Excellent video Gunny.
m one of the 10% thinner guys :-/ I had to clear coat something for a friend and he loves standox and due to the fact i use a cheaper brand that requires thinner i automatically used some. Great info.
seriously sweet Vid bro..i now know theirs a real ratio with viscosity me gun & temperature, major players @ the table, thanks heaps aye Mate you beauty
great job you know i have been subscribed
thank you sir, I had no idea about viscosity cups until thivideo
Very interesting. Good info thanks
Awesome cheers for that dude.
No worries thanks for watching
Wow thanks again man
Awesomeness brother
Great vid
another great vid.....you said 2000 subscribers.......wow you have a little more then that now
Very informative vid. Just subscribed to your channel.
Thanks, and take a look around there is plenty more to learn and loads of videos on the way.
Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing this
No worries, I was just watching it again myself when you made that comment. Thanks for watching.
very good vid.
Hey Gunman, thanks for all the videos, and great info. I especially enjoy the 3rd person view, it gives a great perspective on what to expect. I have been spraying cars in my garage for years and always take care to keep everything clean. In general I have been very pleased with the results. I have a question about dust and bits of dirt. When ever I spray etch primer, primer - filler or base coat there's never any dust or dirt. As soon as I spray clear coat or gloss it seem to attract the dust and tiny bits of dirt. Sometimes more than others. Any ideas and advice? Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching mate, And that's always the way but the truth of it is that the dust is actually there in the other stages but you wont see it and mate I take all steps known to myself to get clean jobs plus I use a booth and occasionally still get a job that's full of dust so there's no one pointer I can give you other than do your best and be fastidious about cleaning. Water on the floor prior to paint can help too, wipe airlines, clean clothes, gun filters, tackrag 3 times all the usual stuff. Good luck mate and stay tuned.
Great video . are mixes different for suction guns as HVLP guns? I would think the gun would have a requirement on viscosity also? love your vids. I wonder how many probs in past could have been wrong mixes for temp ?
Terima kasih
Quick question I am a newbie to this. Obviously I was looking for thinning and looked at this great video. I have question I have purchased some PPG Defleet basecoat and it is too thick, can I use any thinner to get the right viscosity or should I only use "compatible" thinners i.e. PPG thinners?

Hi, gunman..I am using cheap lacquer there’s no info on times for viscosity cup. What would be the general time using cup for decent flow on job
hi g man. what if u don't wanna thin it out and use a bigger tip?
i'm using single stage 2kit goes through a din 4 cup in 18 seconds @ 20 degrees with no reducer but won't spray nice through 1.4 te20 unless i add 20-30% reducer am i wrong to try and spray this paint like it's clear coat?
hi im going to be using the upol hs clear soon on my car and on the can there is no viscosity information just tells me what size fluid tip to useand mixing ratio do you have any idea what viscosity it will be thanks
All of your vids are awesome :) Nice bro :) May I have a question ? :) I´m going to spray a primer onto my vintage motorcycle parts. And I haven´t got a good aproximation of a paint viscosity. So my question is: How long should it take to get empty the Viscosity cup full of primer ? :)
The info will be on the side of the can. Thanks mate.
Excellent mate! Q1; Most mixes ask to sit for 30mins or so before spraying. Will the viscosity measurement change in this time? Q2: Are you not meant to dip the whole cup into the paint mix and raise so the it is always full? Cheers !
Yeah I did make a mention to doing it that way if you want but I never do because it can make more of a mess, yes they do say to let the clear catalise before using but nearly no one ever does it, and I have never bothered to test before and after 30 min give it a shot and let me know the results.
is it ok to use standard thinners ie one for cleaning your gun when adding to basecoat and laquer or should you use basecoat thinners. is there a noticable end finish regarding using recycled thinners or basecoat thinners.thx
I would not recommend using gun wash in any paint as a thinner, The results are much poorer and it's not a good practice as it breaks down the paint quality. Thanks for watching and good luck with your work.
Hey mate I have a problem with solvent boil in a hs clear that I use it doesn't say on the tin to add thinners but after watching your vid maybe that was my problem how much should I add?
most clear says up to 10% and HS clears are usually quite thick so give 10% a go and see results
Can one of these cups be used for 2K primer or just the paint and lacquer? - paint apprentice
may i ask you something? how many seconds you believe that sould be for spray clear with a 4000 rp 1.2 tip? thanks
16-18 seconds
What is the cup size-
#2, #3, #4, #5, #6.
Which one of above is used to find spray viscosity
I mixed some dna diamond clear it requests 10-20% reducer. I decided to measure it’s viscosity for the first time ever and I got 12 seconds! Surprised by the result as even at their minimum recommendation it’s too thin.
That's very odd. I'm going to start measuring the PPG clear as of tomorrow.
@@TheGunmanChannel yep I doubt it was because it’s was a 20 degree day. Tried without reducer and it was in their 16 second window.
@@TheGunmanChannel how did you go? I’m using some more dna clear from the same can today I’ll let you know if the results the same
@@ivantieu6764 well I found it's a lot nicer after leaving the clear in the booth while masking and basecoat
@@TheGunmanChannelhmm so some manufacturers say to let their product to catalyse for a bit before use could be correct?
so measuring viscosity with a din4 cup or ford 4 is the same?
Strictly speaking no but some manufactures feel they are close enough
