My dad yelled at me I turned out good to Gabe😂 it’s called tough love! And getting your point across/hard work pays off.🇵🇷
I’m Spanish and I have been yelled at all my life and I turned out alright. Good one. That is how our parents expressed themselves. Quick tip for you Gabriel, keep hose off the floor helps dirt from falling on flat panels. Thanks a lot I learned how to tilt the gun to prevent runs.Take care and God bless you and your family.
+Jose Morales haha thanks man ! I know! Haha I just slack because I have a smaller airline that I have hooked up to my belt so the one on the floor stays on the floor
Good afternoon Gabe. I cannot believe how the waterborne basecoat changes color from initial spray coat to dry basecoat. The match looks great. Your right Gabe, I am a life long learner at 63 years old and proud of that. Thanks and Take care.
Holy crap !!! 22 oz to cover a trunk a qtr and a bumper . i used 32 oz to cover a dang tailgate !!!! love your video . wish I had more stuff to paint to try all the new stuff I learn !! Thanks for sharing your craft and skills !!
Thanks man!! Hahaha
You wear well, so down to earth presentation. I don't paint cars, I paint furniture, so glad I found you, your experiences will help me greatly.
Much love !!;👌
Almost bought a Walcom instead of an Iwata entech. Been with Iwata about 8 years. Just couldn't convince myself I'd be happy.
This is a great video on blending and like you said making the gun do the work for you. Also loved the video about blending edge of sealer. Really learned a lot about what direction the gun should be pointing at all times and also I could never really get the WS400 to do what I want but realized watching your vids that using 35 psi and that I have to be EXTREMELY close to the panel like 3 inches away.
+Remington Atcheson thanks so much brother !!!
Great video. Many gems of information . I found the comment about the base coat will NEVER fill or cover faults very very useful . I must ensure the surface is totally perfect BEFORE base coat is applied . Thanks very much.....i prefer the vids with no music as i am here to learn....Cheers
Awesome brother !! Glad you learned something !!!!
Hats off to you Gabe!! You're great at what you do, yet a very humble guy. Keep up the great work brother👌
+Aleks Borgia thank you so freaking much !!!!!!!!!
Crazy? Yeah, crazy GOOD! Love you Gabriel. Thanks for the great instruction!
*I hope this is helpful* I spray custom bicycle finishes in Seattle using mostly PPG Deltron products (and some HOK and DuPont Cromax), not water-based paints because our laws do not require it. Also, painting smaller scale bicycles with many cylindrical shapes, tons of nooks & crannies and very few flat surfaces means my setup is quite a bit smaller, utilizing mini-guns (my fav so far is the Iwata LPH-80) and a small spray booth. Even though I am not spraying cars, I do find many helpful tips in your videos such as your gun angles and air pressure settings as mentioned here. And I love your style; it makes me feel like you are a good friend even though we haven't met (yet)! Take care! Adam
+Now You're Finished! That's amazing man !!! Thank you so so so much !!! You are my friend indeed ! I'm glad I am able to help !
Thats some amazing skill with the gun, so consistent and meanwhile you get like what.. 85 % overlap? Great job, hands down.
+Brulserz for a control coat yeah you kind of move a little faster
Thanks man !!!!!!!😁😁😚😚😚
I was amazed at how fast you got the base dry! Those air blowers (and heated booth) make quick work of it😀
+Velvethamma yeah man I live by these blowers !! That's why I am proud to sell them because that are truly an investment !
My mother is from the island so I was yelled at since the day I was born and it s music to my ears. Like always very good and helpful video
Cool, I have my GoPro mounted to my 3m papper fresh air helmet. Hopefully I’ll have my videos coming out soon😃looking forward to adding some of my experience to the painters and preppers our there😊
Thanks for your help Gabe 👍🏾
+Nick Sandoval awesome awesome man !!!
I've been painting for 30 plus years and always learning got a bunch of great tips from watching your videos keep up the great work
Wow that's the biggest compliment I could possibly get! Thank you !!!😁
Great comment on primer finishing up ALL the prep work... sanding scratches, body imperfections. Don't 'try' to do this with the base coat. thanks man.
Thank you !!
Thank you for all your videos. I plan to start my own body shop in a few months and I find your knowledge very helpful. I won’t have a spray both and all that great stuff that you have. Just a garage and a great passion to become a great painter like you. Take care.
Amazing !!!! Kick butt man!!!!
How’s it going with your body shop?
Great job Gabe. Still learning even after 30 years in the trade
+Chris N that's so cool man !!! That makes me smile !!
Hi Gabriel I have to scribe you message. Your videos help so much. Im a begginer and I learned everythig from you and to be honnest from Gunmann as well but you can better explain the more dificult things about base, blending metalics, blending clear...everything. I just want to say you thank you a lot...And dont stop!!!
Thank you so much!!!!!;
Thank you brother I 60 years and still learning too
I have a pair of blowers preordered. Can’t wait to try them! They look awesome with the motivated painters logo 😎
+Manny05 Manny05 amazing !!! Thank you so so much !!!!!!!
I use a 25 pack of micro fibre rags. there washable and pick up the dirt and lift very well. I hate those type of rags your using for the same reason as you. seems like they just smear stuff around. give them a try I love them. it gives such a cleaner job and there washable
+Michael Lane yeah so true !
Amazing video, and loads of tips there. Love the 'make the gun do the work.. especially if your gun has a lovely even pattern.
Your comments about putting base down.. light coat, wet coat then control coat.. this will be valid for a lot of types of base coat, esp metallics. I used the same method with PPG solvent basecoats.
God bless. Keep up with the great videos.
+Saqib Khaliq so good to hear dude ! I love reading comments like this !!! Thank you !
Hutchins makes an anti-static airline I think you might like it's super lightweight and flexible I got one last week and love it I'll try anything to cut down on dirt it's a must-have for painters
Awesome ! Need to look into that !
justcoke1 hi can u let me know about anti static please
Great video I've just started spraying an watching all the videos I can, this is the first for blending an I must admit I feel more confident for when the day comes after watching this. So keep up the good work an keep the videos uploading 👍 peace ✌
Amazing man! Thank you!
Great job pressures are the critical things I've learnt thankyou very much for your advice
ever notice every year colors are becoming more complicated always have to keep trying different technique to get the job done 10 years back u never needed control coat, blending agent etc. learn quiet a lot from watching these videos on utube thanks gabriel
firefox01 yes very true even singal stage metalic paints had no problem spraying even. Mabe cause materials taken outta paint like lead for environmental and saftey. But even the two stage paint back then where no issues even with silvers or desert sand colors, coverage was better too.
+firefox01 oh yeah hahahahahahaha
10 yrs ago nobody was able to get silvers right though. Now we can blend them with ease. SO SO SO many poor cars going around with a faded looking "silver" looking door but not close to the other panels lol.
Always learning form you Gabe! Today just some simple gun technique while blending in the color. Thanks for the videos!!
Nice job Gabe, I agree, I still haven’t found good rags. I use the torx you use and akzo noble rages there the best I’ve found so far. Have you noticed when you pull the torx apart we’re they hook together the “hairs” 😒
Are you using a chest mount for your camera in this video?
+Nick Sandoval yeah man they suck ! No it's on my head haha
Hi...Can I first of all commend you on your informative videos. I am in total agreement with you about cleaning.....almost to an OCD. One can only try ones level best to eliminate the possibility of dirt nibs etc....however lady luck can sometimes be cruel, despite all the efforts. I am a seasoned custom painter used to solvents and agree with most of your approaches...there is more than one way to skin a cat! I wish you all the very best in life and enjoy the humour which you incorporate within your videos...it never had me laughing my head of...but makes me smile. We English do have a rather dry sense of humour... Oh...I am very much a SATA man, but have used a wide variety of other spray guns in my time. My warmest regards to you!!!
Hermano i learnt today anoher style (direction) to spray the trunk in clearcoat...
Eres una maquina🤜
+Mimi re awesome man !!!
Lol, I disagree. I've been in the trade as a professional painter for over 25 years, looking at an instructor position here in so cal so I have seen many painters in a working environment and you are a very good painter, trust me on the air flow though you will be a great painter. Keep up the good work.
Haha thanks brother hope I can continue to get better 😍
I've seen a few people mention Sontara solvent wash and dry cloths(I believe part #E-4143?)Definitely my top choice and worth giving a shot. Love your Channel.
+TorinSalamone I need to get them ! Thanks !!
Hey! You have done this before I can tell. Well done and awesome job!
Hahah thanks brother ! That's a complement !!¡
I have watched a lot of painters , you are maybe the best I have ever seen .
+MrFireman164 haha thanks man ! One day I would love to be an amazing painter and teacher !
MOTIVATED PAINTERS you already are
+MrFireman164 thanks man;
You need to try the wonder rags. Once you do you will never use another rag to clean with.
I can’t believe how long you spent basing that car. You need to try some Spies Hecker. Great video though. You are a true professional!
+The Brand thanks bro ;
Great video. Love all the new guns
Awesome job! Very talented.
Try the krew 600 towels, I use them, they leave no lint, beats akzo towels any day
Awesome job! But it‘s better not to leave the airhose on the ground I think (dirt). Keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing...
Yup! My spraying hose never hits the ground . The one you see is connected to the back of my helmet
It's interesting to see the process of preparing the parts. Thanks
Hey Gabe that final coat of base you use which is not a drop coat, i call that a "fog coat" when you are using the atomization at the top of the fan to blend perfectly into the boot deck and quarter. Keep it up hermano, oh have a look out for Edwin at ua-cam.com/users/bereal2012videos another great painter.
Ppg calls it a control coat I will not be the one to say one name is the right one and another wrong name for it lol
MOTIVATED PAINTERS I may have worder that wrong ,i was talking about when you reduced the base and applied the last coat which was not wet but not dry either, it is somewhere in between. That is what i term a fog as you are using the top part of the fan to take the blend out to the futhest point you want it.
Haha makes sense !
I think this is the video I have enjoyed the most yet!! Beautiful blend. How do you think the Walcom gun would do with a solvent based type of Base Paint Gabe? I use the Nason and Mosaic brands in my small backyard shop. Thank you!!! You're fantastic!
+RPMX4 I believe they will do an amazing job !!!
Thanks for the Awesome lesson always keep it up god blessed gabe more powers👍👍👍
Thanks man !!!
Hey Gabe! I’m looking to get a new base and clear gun I know Walcom makes both, I was just curious how you have your base gun setup as far as the fan etc.? Also will you have a review soon of the clear gun?
+Austin Godwin hey brother ! I'll try to answer as best I can I'm super busy as well haha! I might do a review for the walcom clear but I haven't decided yet. My go to for clear is Iwata ws400 and my sagola extreme4600. For base this walcom gun kills! It's great I have fan wide open needle from complete open to until it makes my finger move. Psi 26-27 and control coat at 19
Whathappened if dont put sealer on the bumper
For ppg evirobase the recommend it or else it will peel
Nice job dude
Thank youu
Excellent job my friend, like always 👏👏👏👍👍👌👌
You are very talented wish I could have worked with you brother
+Michael Cobb thank you thank you !!!!
I used to do this with my origanal genesi hte walcom instead of a control coat!! Always seemed to fix any issues I had.another flawless paint job buddy! When are you gonna become a rep for ppg?
Don't think I will ! Haha they don't pay enough !
Very true
Sontara cloths are really good imo
So...
at each base coat you drop the PSI?
"Control Coat?" what is that?
so that terminology..
Only coat I drop psi is on control coat, control coat is the last coat before clear
if the color is so difficult they why didnt your blend the left quarter panel? you painted the bumper fully on the left side so the match will be very noticeable if it dosent match perfectly.
Difficult as laying it down properly .not color wise....
Good job very clean!!you dont have fisheye problems with water base ?,i ask because i never use it
Nope it's actually better with water
Hammer some intercoat/ blender on it fill those 320 scratches right up lol
Hi there Gabe wat kind of panel cleaner are you using. Thanks my friend
I use two ! Water and solvent.
Calsco prime wash and one choice water SWX100
REALLY MOTIVATED ,THANK YOU !
Awesome brotha !!!!😍✌️
You should try the sontara rags they are great
I spray ppg also but use akzo Nobel (sikkins) cleaning rags that come in a box and their tack rags if you've never tried them give that stuff a shot they work the best for me
+asheetuglasse awesome ! Will do !
could you post a part number on those rags.we use the blue torx and sontara.I like the torx for solvent cleaner.I find its much faster than the sontara rags
As far as the rags it seems crazy but I've been having really good luck just using new quality microfibers they grab everything and really don't leave as much lint as those tork plastic ones.. I'm re using them using one as the first wipe the the second one as a final pass over and then once it's gone through many jobs I'll demote it to the first wipe rag and pull out a new one. Honestly it works out cheaper than ripping through the sontara booth wipes and does a better job.
+marshallpulham I'm gonna have to try this
MOTIVATED PAINTERS it seems sketchy but I have my absolute best results doing this. Keep them in labeled zip locks bags 1-3( 1) for first clean (2) second or final I use a mix of waterborne decreased and wax and grease remover (3) is always basically brand new for pearl whites for a final clean. It does a great job grabbing all the dampness from the cleaners not leaving wet streaks behind. Also leaves nothing behind in the pores of the paint that most the rags will leave behind which can be a night mare on jet black cars
Obviously you must use good quality ones and honestly it is cheaper than the sontaras I know I know sketchy reusing the towels job to job but I have the job so clean before they go in the booth there's no risk really : I also use the old ones on the shop floor to clean up before I prep and after prep before masking
I do just the same as you Mashall, and it works great! Super clean surfaces. Microfibre clothes are the way to go :) Greetings from Norway.
Ole Kristian Fureid glad to hear I'm not the only one! I always get the weirdest looks when I say that!
Real good job Gabriel I've been watching your videos for a year there really helpful can you give me some tips on how to apply and blend a Toyota 3R1 color thanks.
Tijuana Mexico
you look like a good painter, good technique. I still don't know why there are so many painters still using small air fittings and restrictive air regulators at the gun and not at the wall in front of the hose. Your guns are not going to perform to there designed potential until you ditch both and run straight laminar air to that gun. Just sayin.
I am not a good painter I suck. Just trying to get better everyday 😚😚😚🤗😍
Wow smh.
Wow shake my head
this is a conversation between two professional adults. Stop acting like a petulant child.
Where did you get the Walcom 360 Gabe? Now youve got me looking at another gun when i just got the sagola lol.
Hahahaha you have enough guns man!!!
So the water based looks bit motley as it dries but comes out OK yeah? Also what did you add and what water do you use?
Kind off. I would suggest you watch the silver playlist! Might help!
Good job Gabe great video God bless you
+Michael Cobb thanks man !
Awesome class..best teacher..cuidate mucho
+Dimitri Dam thank you brother !
Awesome job. Do you have any advice for me with sand piling. But it’s just on the edge of my blends. I tack really good before I do my control coat and it still shows when I clear.
+Ryan Keahey try racking in between coats not just before control coat. Also if your booth is too hot it will make it harder
Thanks I’ll try that tomorrow
Come on buddy tape up that vin tag! Nonetheless great video
Bro whts up men, listen i have sata 3000 century ok,i use it for clearing only ,can you tell the best psi to clear with,an second question could you tell what reducer at what time to what to use at time of day ok would really appreciate it bro
29-30 psi
Hotter slower reducer colder faster reducer all companies are different you need to call them
Always learning 👍
your loving that new Walcom 360 gun huh Gabe?
No joke !
nice job
Gabriel nice tips today , today used iwata w 400 for clear the baby
+jlv collision repair awesome !!!!!😀
MOTIVATED PAINTERS gabriel what gun is much better for you walcom or sagola ?
+jlv collision repair they are both amazing honestly I do like the practicality of sagolas digital gauge on the gun
Nice work like de portugal 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You are great!!! 👏👏👏
+Kobel 85 haha I thanks !;;
Do you do a double control coat on all metallic?.Or Just heavey metallic? Whats ur normal amount of coats do you do? And thanks in advance...
+david atherton yeah I control coat all mettallics ! I usually do 2 or 3 coats and a control coat if you see my silvers playlist you can see 😁
Great job
Thank you ;!!;😍
No solvent pop with that clear?
Nope
Where are you located .where can i get the gun the you are using
Canada here is the best base gun you will ever use my friend!
motivatedpainters.com/products/copy-of-light-base-walcom-mp-package-1-2
Hi Gabe. What kind of blow gun is that. I'd like to purchase one. Please and thanks
Hey brother it works amazing get it at motivatedpainters.com
Love all ur vids. What airline fittings do u use? I getting all new hoses and want to upgrade to 3/8” body high flows
Great change ! They are made by toprings two stage release which insures nothing ever ever goes flying haha
MOTIVATED PAINTERS thank you! I looked them up but it seems they are not available to general public :(
I'm sure if you go to a Napa or carquest you can get them
Hi gab u from beginning u put 30% reducer it’s more 10% from normal and after cover u put again reducer about 20% so that’s technic put about 50% reducer it don’t make any change colour or paint very thin or lik. ??????
2- u have another video u said the key of bland make pursuers dow not find that’s video u removed thanks for u
Hello brother I have not taken any videos out at all 😁. When you really need to yes add lots of reducer but also T490 because it makes it thicker it will not affect the color
Also that's hilarious I use that regulator on my iwata it's a piece of junk but for some reason they go together for clear jobs
marshpaint89 ??????
Damn Good Job!!!!!
Thank you!
Would anyone tell me what he sprayed right before the base coat. I'm painting my car this weekend for the first time...
+BACKYARD MECHANIC 101 it's a degreaser called prime wash 😀
Thanks for responding!!! Would you have a link where I can get it please?
+BACKYARD MECHANIC 101 I do not my friend you can't purchase that online. But you can go to a home Depot and purchase any degreaser
Thank you again!!

I see you have up a Sata dry aire system how does it perform is it worth it and how it works
+Muck Smith yeah it's great it cleans the air so well we have had it for 11 years now ! The filters are easy to change to
how do you change the walcom air regulator from bar to psi?
Tape the Vin plate behind the rear tag.
+matt wist I'm glad you got something out of the video so good 😙😚☺️🙂🤗
those magnetic tape holders.could you send me a link to order some.
So which to you is better the WALCOMS or the SAGOLAS?

Have you ever tried the DuPont centari ones? I haven't but heard they are good. I feel the same way about the towels man. Also what cleaner are you using?
+Daniel Green no I haven' Lt my friend
+Daniel Green I'm using stuff called prime wash
Dupont sontara is the brand for rags actually and yes they are good.
sami flyktman Yes those ones lol
MOTIVATED PAINTERS looks like it evaporates fast. Is it a degreaser?
Respect
Why didn't you tape that sticker on the trunk lid where the license plate goes
what's that red blower? where did you get it?
www.motivatedpainters.com
I don’t understand how can add water in paint.
+Techni Center if you use solvent you can't
it's water based paint, reduce with water not solvent.
+Robert B it's water
