Nice job mate i often clear over direct gloss it works a treat
Sure does mate
Very nice job, its a pleasure watching you paint. Yeh your right about over working but unfortunatlely i'm just to busy !!!! I bought some Standox clear i've never used it before they say its the bollocks we'll see , i'm also using my DV1 clearcoat gun again and getting nice finishes off the gun i struggled at first . Anyway stay well buddy .
Hey man good to know you’ve got it failed in where you want it buddy and we’re mad busy too mate but if you push it to far you won’t be able to work at all man so be carefull dude hope you are well
Excellent tip thanks Tony, take care.
Your welcome dough hope you are well fella
Nice job mate, keep up the good work!
Thanks Corey
Great video Again Tony 👍... excellent precise information.
The time saving blending 2k is massive for a painter, especially big jobs that are last one of the day 😂
That 2k has great coverage !! Mipa ??
No it’s mobihel or kapci I think mate but Mipa gloss is spot on il be honest I’ve tried it and it’s lovely to use
Absolutely brilliant true pro!!
Too kind buddy hope you are well
Looking forward to this Tony 👍
Not long now mate
Another excellent video well made 👍
Thankyou Chris
Loos smart mate and a good tip on the direct gloss
Thanks and yeah I’ve found it best this way over the years mate
I use spray can clear blending solvent on those blends. Works great less polishing. and helps it bond to the old finishes better.
If you try it use spray some on the dry areas and use air from the spray gun to dry them do it a few times with air right after. almost no polishing necessary.
Brilliant work.
Thanks man
Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏
Your welcome
Beautiful thanks for your desire to teach
Your welcome mate
I do the same with a red audi tt I get in regular for stone chips etc! Started getting pimpling in the waterbase as it was so transparent and had to put lots of coats on probably not drying all the way through the layers? So perfected tinting 2k solid for a perfect colour match and then one coat of clear👍
Yes mate that an issue with transparency in some colours when using water we sometimes tend to want to load it up to get coverage so it doesn’t dry as well as we think on cars like that il give them a short bake for ten minutes to make sure the base is dry properly before clearing to be safe
Fabulous workmanship 👍👏👏
Thankyou dude
Eline sağlık güzel boya işlemi olmuş sizi takip etmeye yeni başladım
Great work mate 👍
Thanks fella hosp your well dude
good tips mate good job
Thanks man
Looks better than new... Nice one.. :)
Thanks buddy and we try mate
Great stuff. You should do a workshop tour video that be interesting to see your set up.
Did u sell the blow up booth?
No mate I leant it to a mate of mine funny you should ask as he’s just brought it back today , and I will at some point mate our shops just mega compact so it’s not easy lol
Great work Tony
Thanks kamil
Take care Tony
Happy New Year Sir, I’ve been checking out your videos on the 2k gloss, I use those when I spray boats. I’ve noticed that you don’t blow a lot of overspray, it seems to be contained pretty well. I’ve tried to figure your settings, and it looks to be about 2 1/2-3 turns out, what’s your pressure? When I’m spraying I may have another vessel 10 feet or so away(3 m), so I have my pressure down to 15psi, looks a bit too chunky. I’m getting better, learning everyday, just searching for some information that I can adapt into my work to help out. Again Happy New Year, hope all is well, thank you for your time, cheers
Would you say direct gloss is better to use than base coat & clear coat? Your videos have been great
Never thought about using clear over direct gloss.... This is a game changer!! Thank you Tony!!
Hey man Thankyou buddy hope it helps fella
I noticed the color difference on the back door even before you said anything about it. Yea Some of those Single stage or gloss coat as you say do dry a bit darker. yea I cold see it was a bit lighter on your coat. But I am sure it dried perfectly. Yea sometimes those color gloss blends can show some color difference. Blending clear is the best way. you got that right.
Thanks fella and yeah I find it the best way
It terms of GoPro settings.
Lock white balance and lock exposure (setting that to the brightest part of the scene.)
That will keep colour and tone as consistent as possible.
(White balance to whatever temp your lamps are. Use a grey card to check.)
already done mate a while back but thanks
Enjoyed this very much ,, is that a Sky Blue color ?
Thanks for demonstrating the technique Tony, very neat. Does using 2k as a base and 2k clear on top make it a High Definition paint job in 4k?
Yeah of course lol 😂
Nice job Tony, I wondered how you went about blending direct gloss as I've heard (never done it myself) it can be difficult. The van looked a different colour outside which again is down to the white balance on the gopro, I keep mine set at 3200k for both indoor and outside but I do use different ISO and shutter speeds for both as my booth has black walls which makes it even harder.
I just have a different setup for indoor and outdoor then get the settings right for both the it's just a case of switching between them.
Anyway mate the van looked great outside and you wouldn't know it had been blended, very nice glossy finish mate, of course it would have been better if you used the DV1 but there is no helping some people 😲🙄😂😉
Lol don’t swear at me John haha , and yeah I’m going to look into my GoPro settings later mate as I’ve just put another camera in my arsenal for filming so want it to keep good colour with that
😂🥰👍 ok mate hope you get it sorted, don't suppose you have a DV1 base laying around that you don't want 🤔
Nah mate I’m afraid not buddy
I'm about to paint up a T4 that I've cut welded all the corners and steps. I had been wondering about the blending issue. I am going to follow your advice, on this esp using the same hardener and thinner ratio......so glad this popped up in my feed.
Ah your welcome Richard and that’s what our channels all about mate helping people with tips and new ideas glad you could join us
@@TonysRefinishingTV thank you for getting back: mines just a tidy up while I save for a colour change. Can I ask what grade paper you used on the original paint to key the new coat please?
So on the primed areas they were sanded woth p400 the rest was all done with grey scotch to a nice matt finish
@@TonysRefinishingTV Legend, thanks again.
No problem mate your very welcome
Nice job Tony Great to see you back at it 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Darren and I’m not going anywhere fella don’t worry
Hello there
So i was woundering if it's alright to use epoxy primer on plastic bumpers? Is it even needed?
Or I better use filler primer ?
Thanks
Hi mate just got home cool video bro so glad you're back at it mate as always bang on 😁😁😁 repect brother
Thanks man and yeah I’m back on it buddy
@@TonysRefinishingTV nice to see old skool refinishing tricks still alive and kicking !!!! I'm gonna miss all this retiring soon 😭😭
I’m glad I’m way off that yet mate lol 😂
@@TonysRefinishingTV comes to us all bud when you were filling ya nappies I was at it LMFAO 😄😄😄keep rocking dude
😂😂
What color is that? Looking fresh!
Hi, I have some experience spraying but no access to a booth etc. I want to paint my van (either in part or full) and have been thinking about using direct gloss either from rattle cans or a small compressor. My question is, will I get much difference in colour match if I were to spray panels individually? I'm a weekend warrior so I was contemplating doing say the wings and bonnet one weekend, one side another weekend, and so on. Would this be achievable or would they dry different shades? Any advice would be much appreciated 👍🏼
Nice job! Take the auto colour off the Go Pro, it won't keep changy colour once you manually set the colour temperature
Yeah I was telling Tony exactly this is in the live chat last night, I think it's down to the booth lighting as I have to have my white balance set to 3200k (kelvin), it's a bit on the blue (cold) side but it keeps the colour stable.
Thanks guys il be looking into this later
Sorry late to the party again, the van looked a million dollars at the end. Wish i had your ability to paint like that lol ive just painted my van and looks crap compared to that, but painted it on a hot day outside on my drive. Ive got a lot of detailing work to do now, so will flat back and get the rupes bigfoot on the job, did some earlier and came up good. Used the kovax dry sanding system which i think beats the 3m trizac but thats just my opinion. Have a great wk end dude and great edit as always 👌🤟🤙👍
Thanks man and it’s just practice mate that’s all fella have to message me some pics over buddy when it’s all done mate
@@TonysRefinishingTV will do but may be a couple of weeks as back at work next wk and the wife wants the garden hard scaping 😭😭😭
Lol sounds like Fun mate
I got an indian blue!! Nightmare with a match on the under coat sticks out a mile!
Awesome 👏 video Tony monster project but I come out 💯percent and that blue look like the mustang grabber blue haha 😂 keep it up Tony much love and respect 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎯🎯🎯🎯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👊👊👊👊👊👊👊✊✊✊✊✊🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙💪💪💪💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks man always great to have you here buddy
Hi Tony
Very good video on glossy blue van 👌
My friend go t5 in white color there was some dents in it but we have managed to repaired it now.
Rest of the van white color all good.
We was going to flat it down 400 on DA sander hole van and paint it .
Then paint it .will ok and roughly how much paint do we need and lacquer for the whole paint ?
We are thinking of changing hole different color of the van it called San Marino blue B51 paint code .
Many thanks
Bas
3-4 litres of 2k gloss should be enough
Nice job mate, I've got my own business and it's right what you said business can wait, health and family can't 👍 just it does get a bit hectic most of the time.
100% mate atm were rammed and it’s stressful so gotta make sure we take that time to chill too
@@TonysRefinishingTV yeah you're right Tony but it's hard to switch off sometimes.
100% mate especially when I do UA-cam ontop of it all some days just don’t seem to end
Yeah I bet take it easy mate 👍
I will buddy you too
Looks mega pal
Thanks dude
Love these videos Tony boss... Awesomeness... Super helpful and detailed buddy... VW looks brilliant 💗🙏🙌👑✌️🤓 prayers brother for your well being. Firing over to micks channel
Thanks man
Hey Tony, I’m glad you’re feeling better and keep making the videos. May I ask your advice on liquid glass and what catalyst and reducer that works best. I’m in Ohio so the weather can get pretty cold sometimes. Also I’d like to purchase Sagola gun for clear with a1.2 tip which model would you recommend. Thank you for your time and keep moving forward.
Hiya mate on the liquid glass mate il be honest it’s been a while since I’ve used any but from what you’ve said try the fast version mate , if look at the 1.2xl for clear in the 4600 dvr clear model mate there brilliant guns
@@TonysRefinishingTV Thank you for responding, may I also ask you what kind of clear is your preferred choice to use, something you have faith in that it looks good and last a long time. Tony, may I also add don’t think you are Superman and you can do it all, that’s how you wear yourself out. I’m not lecturing you just advising I’ve worked for myself for years and that’s the hardest lesson I had to learn, so don’t drive yourself off the cliff. Steve
Roberlo 610 or Mipa cc9 are great clears tbh mate abs I won’t mate I’ve learnt my lesson
@@TonysRefinishingTV thank you, any recommendations on websites I can buy them? And it’s been nice chatting with you
Pmpsupplies.co.Uk and nice speaking to you too mate
Your GoPro colour issues could be the overhead fluorescents causing white balance issues.
No it’s only with blues or greens so we set a fixed white balance and it’s sorted now
Hi Tony Great tutorial can you use fade out on direct gloss to direct gloss on a blend.
Yes buddy just the same as you do with clear blends
@@TonysRefinishingTV thanks
Amazing video!Can I ask something..?I get that you using 2k as a "basecoat"and clear coat the blended area but..if you have a massive panel, and only a small bit needs repair and paint do you clear coat the whole panel or just around the blend and try polish it?for example on that A pillars!What happened there?did you have an edge where you havw to polish the new and old clear coat together?
you could do it with just gloss mate but as i mentioned in the video if you didnt have a great match the edge would show alot when polished so yes as you say you could just blend the outer edge of the colour in with some clear on the last coat to eliminate any issues in the final stage polishing the edges in
@@TonysRefinishingTV thats it..I am glad that I dont have to clear coat the whole thing..thank you for your reply!
What grit of sandpaper would you recommend befor spraying epoxy primer or high build primer?
Cheers
P180 mate personally
Hi Tony, quick question for you, how difficult do you think the transition would be for myself who has been a spray painter for 30 years, mainly aircraft and trucks using direct gloss to change to cars, with some smart repairs?
Hi mate it really depends how quick you can grasp the basecoat and clear application ( clear would be no different to gloss though ) but mostly the blending of the base of you can pick that up reasonably quickly then I don’t see why not mate
Hi there.
What spray gun cap would you recommend to spray primer . Is 1.8mm suitable ?
Cheers
Hi mark yes 1.8 to 2.0 is best
Nice T 👌
Thanks man
good video tony so whats the best gun sagola 4600 mate or the LS400 and WS 400
If you’ve got the budget then personally the 4600 mate I run the dvr clear and Aqua
@@TonysRefinishingTV tony i have a ford focus mate mk3 i just want to paint the bumper so my devbliss gti pro genuine gun mate 1.2 for base is that right and 1.3 for clear full fan fulid right out 2 bar and if i want to use the china copy TE20 1.3 for clear full fan 2 turns out 2 bar
That van looks smart do you paint tractor uinits
Thanks buddy and I’m afraid not mate as our ships not big enough to fit one in mate
Great vid again bro glad you are on the mend too 🙏i have learned something new again from you regarding 2k gloss blends 👌👌
What pressure you run the sagola 1.2 xl aqua for 2k gloss mate ? Have a red astra to do and was going 2k 👍
Thanks man and yeah received to be getting better mate Thankyou , and lol awesome man always great when a tip helps people I’m running about 25psi mate personally higher than that I think this hun over aromises the clear or gloss too much as it’s designed for base but does lay a nice coat of clear or gloss round there for me , hope your well fella
@@TonysRefinishingTV cheers bro and yes mate all good bro 👍
I wish mine got done that well😥
I sprayed my own car (driveway job) with direct gloss 2K, I tried to blend it in just by sand and polish, it looks trash - looks like there's little islands of different colour which you can't get rid of around the blend area. Wish I found this video earlier. Thanks
Glad it’s helped you for future projects mate
Hi Great information, thanks. Do you have any experience using Jawel 2k direct colour gloss. I need to do some bits on my van, but bit skint at the moment and can not afford £50 a litre that im getting quoted at my local auto paint suppliers :(
It’s ok mate but not the best I’ve done a van in it before took some time to fully dry through but turned out well
@@TonysRefinishingTV thanks mate, can you recommend any other brand of paint that doesn't cost the earth?
Most direct gloss tbh is usually about £30 a litre so try another shop mate is by best advice or try eBay ect
I did this trick using glasurit 68 line didn't tell the boss how I did it so quick.
😂😂 he doesn’t need to know mate
Hi Tony hope you doing well
I was woundering if it's alright to spray high build primer over bare metal or shall i use some filler primer on bare metal and then high build primer ?
Thanks
Filler primer and high build primer are the same thing you need etch primer on bare metal
Then normal primer over it
@@TonysRefinishingTV what about epoxy primer on bare metal and then high build ?
Yes Nate that’s fine too
@@TonysRefinishingTV thanks a lot 👍👍👍👍👍
Not a problem mate
dad did this in the 70s
Use the 2k like base?
Yes mate
Hello dude, whenever I chuck lacquer over 2k it sinks like foook
Aslong as you leave a good flash off mate and use a half decent clear it should be good
Tony can could you do a smart repair on 2k solid
A Video or do you mean I. General can it be done ?
@@TonysRefinishingTV a vid mate you have done clear but I've not seen one done solid ?
I’ve not done a solid mate as I do my solid colours like this in the video
Where are you based mate? I’ve got a T5 I want painting 😎
nantwich buddy
Another question I have is why bother with the blend? There's only around 6 inches of existing paint left so why not just go over the top with fresh paint? 🤔
if were talking no blends then that would mean doing the full read door which is alot more than 6 inches
Hi mate, where are you based please
Nantwich in Cheshire
👍👍👍🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
geff riddege way
2k solid is Just coloured clear coat
Pretty much mate yeah
Hi again tony were you based.

Cancer spray!!! 😮
You need gloves. And you talk to much. It's not rocket science stop making it too complicated. Your doing an expensive paint job and saving £20 on basecoat to use 2k. What is wrong with you wannabe painters
Wow seems they let another one out this weekend
You are a bit of a prick, eh? He explained the whole reasoning. The van looked great and the customer approved, so what's your beef? The guy paying for it is what matters, not some critical wanker in the comment section.
You're.
