This is Russe,custom painter & airbrush artist. Love your videos,PAINT ON! Keep it up.Nicely done job on Holden. I've mostly done choppers,Harley's,guitars. Recently moved towards vehicle bumper & wheel repaints due to demanded request.Thanks to your videos & product demos I have improved my finish coat quality & productivity. When people ask my how I got that nice finish I simply reply, check out the Gun Man on You Tube.
Russe Castro Thanks man, I think I'd learn a bit from you too. It would be great to spend some time learning from each other because I want to start doing more custom and airbrushing, where you from man?
Always great to watch an artist at work! So many people just go through the motions to make a living but real success comes from doing what you love to do - it really shows in your work!
Lucky bloke, the owner of the ute. I have a ute of my own being restored and modified. I was sitting watching your video and wishing it was my car. Great, great job on the paint. Please post all the video you have on the ute, I know that I will watch and enjoy every second of it. Keep up the great work Gunny.
G-Man, the ARTIST, the gentleman, way beyond just a skilled tradesman. No better way to start the day, than coffee and watching your paint float onto the car - no runs, no dry spots, no ridiculous cloud of overspray - give us more, dont worry about repeating yourself or making "silent videos".....now that I live in Europe I notice that a lot of Europeans make "silent videos" for youtube so that everyone of any language can understand what is happening...they do cute things like cut to the can of paint/back of sand paper/thermometer/viscosity drip time/clock face etc....So if you are getting bored with your own video style you might want to try something like that - an effective video with out a word of spoken language in it...just a thought. Dont ever stop G-Man !
gunman, I like your outlook on life, keep your videos free mate. I love to watch a true craftsman who is willing to share his skills.. bloody well done..
Wow the HQ Ute turned out perfect ! Well done. I always find your videos educational and never dull or repetitive. I like how you talk your way through the job. This way I learn the most information. The how to minimize orange peel video will be a big help for me. Thanks Gunman ! :)
awesome paint job! I wish I could learn to paint. I'm self taught. I taught myself to do body work. I could paint but I don't think my body work is at that point that the paint job would look that clean. great job. God bless
Another great video it is nice to see a real pro doing what he loves. Your love for what you do shows in your videos and your voice. Keep up the great work.
good video mate. only just found your channel and i'm in perth as well. I've been searching for someone to paint my '79 f350 and when it's ready for paint you're the first person ill call.
Awesome job Gunman! Looking forward to the clear coat video for this job. +1 on the free, non-subscription approach to UA-cam videos. Those of us who are learning are benefitting from your experience. Thank you for making these videos and sharing them!
hey gunnie I don't know about others but I love your videos a lot honestly I learnt a lot about spray painting I thought I may never be able to do it but your videos made it so simple to understand so a big thumbs up from Sri Lanka
LUV your vids. they have been like a breath of fresh air for me. I work as a spray painter and have been doing that for about 15 years. Im allways triyng to improv my self as a painter and have a true passion for it (how mad is that lol) you are the man!!! thx alot.. still waiting for the FLG-5 review haha
Because it seems like a good video to mention this on... Dude, thank you for posting all these videos. I've never painted with anything more than spray paint (rattle cans) in my life, but I've recently acquired a car that needs quite a lot of attention. I've been curious for a while about doing minor body repairs and painting, but it's quite daunting when there's so much at risk if something goes wrong. I don't want to say that you make it look "easy." I know there's nothing easy about it. It's a lot of preparation, hard work, attention to detail, and a tremendous amount of patience. But, you make it look "doable." I've been watching a few of your videos each night for the past couple of days, and I'm getting a bit excited to start collecting equipment and give it a go. :D Sadly, local ordinances prevent me from doing any sort of painting with an air tank; I'll have to use either an airless high-pressure system, or an electric HVLP. I can only hope the latter behaves similarly to the equipment you're using in these videos! In the mean time, thank you for all these videos! Awesome stuff, fun to watch, incredibly encouraging, and I look forward to lots more! :D
A live event on youtube would be cool. I know you can do one with a webcam but not sure how to do it with a camera like the GoPro. Sometimes the video can lag or be poor from a webcam so I'd be interested to see how it would do for this kind of work! Always enjoy the real life painting vids... unedited. Keep up the great work :)
Michael Lindström Yeah I'd like to but it opens up a whole lot of issues like you say, I dont even know if the GoPro can stream straight to a computer so I may even have to upgrade but hopefully in the future I'll do something or just make a TV show haha :-)
I can understand why the owner made his own ad recommending your shop for work cause that is an unreal finish on that hq mate. I'd honestly tow my project car on a car trailer from qld to wa just have you paint it haha no joke. Keep up the awesome work bud.
Hey Gunny, I am a loyal subscriber and enjoy all your Vids. I like that you repeat yourself, becuase you know it is critical to the quality of the finish. I am about to paint my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac that is blue and change it to Red Hot Red. This is a great video that I am respray process just like your. Great Video, Keep Going. Art Bolanos Houston, Texas
Airbrushing now, too? Man, awesome, just awesome. Try to stay in custompainting and effects when it comes to airbrushing for its closer to painting than creating portraits and stuff like that. Or you could do those things in a different format entirely. I have painted my Motorcycle candy orange(silver,tinted clear) as my very first paint job with skills I learned watching your videos. I am an apprentice in the first year and usually my workplace won't let apprentices go into the booth in the first 1,5 years but after they've seen the work on my bike, they will allow me to paint in the booth earlier :3 Great job as always.
hi gunman, I watch them as I am not a spray painter but watching is learning, I get heaps of info out of it and as we don't have the colleges for oldies here in Launceston Tas, I am sure I am getting more out of your videos anyway, better and more informed I'm sure, I have had lots of technical training by professional trainers and you are in my opinion better than most by far.
Great video as always, really like the idea about the showing us how to paint wrong and how to correct that. Any video you put out i will watch becouse i'm so new to spray painting and the info is awesom. Many thanks. Thumbs up as allways.
Thanks mate, this car is obviously a big project and we just did the paint but the owner has nearly got it done so I'll be doing another video on where it's up to soon.
Great vid really enjoyed it and love the old hq ute, was my first car. Really looking forward to your reviews on the sgk after watching your "which spray gun is for you" vid I ordered one. Was the max my budget could stretch, the missus will crack it when the credit card statement arrives lol but I am hoping to get some decent results and pick up a few tips from your reviews. I am only doing it for a hobby but am really enjoying it and while my work is far from professional standard I still get a lot of satisfaction knowing I did it myself. Keep the vids coming gunman. Cheers.
looks sooooo damn good man I'm mid way with body work and taking it down to bare metal its a wb ute so far been a few surprise spots of bog but getting therr
I would love to see how you do the polishing as you used a ceramic type clear and what it was like.off the gun and then when you polished it up. ( I remember seeing a small walk around of the car, aka a black mirror) haha Ps great vid!
Hello, I like a lot your videos. I am interested in knowing which brand is the pneumatic sander you use and what would be the pressure required to use it. I also wanted to ask you a video talking about serious air compressor which idel for a person who wants to put a small business.
nice video mate god i wish i was closer to you as i'm in tassie an would love ro have to teach me some hands on hands work my wrx is ready for paint first time spraying would love to know some good tips for a newbie
Hey there mate.Awsome job! If you are going to do a video about the orange peel I would like to make a suggestion.To explain to people what is the difference between european,american,japanese etc.orange peel look.I have noticed after watching tons of videos and reading kmeters of comments that the europeans tend to say about american or japanese finishes that they are "orange peely" and viceversa.In my opinion and I am sure I yours too a painter has to get as close as posible to the original finish.
Do you ever use a sealer coat between primer and paint? I don't understand why its needed but here in the US people are always going on about it. Thx. p.s I like the repartition, it hammers home the point.
C Marshall when using water based paints if you put it over even the slightest bit of metal then the water will start the metal rusting so I think that's a big reason some people use it but I find it not necessary and don't want the extra film build plus it can dull off slightly sometimes.
Frankie Jim Sorry man but all the large shirts are gone already and I only have M left, I do plan on getting more in the future though and I'll post a video when I do so stay tuned.
love it .learning a lot .. . I don't call it repeating yourself. it what I need reassurance .thank you you definitely. have a pastors heart honest And caring . Jesus Christ can us e you brother.
Gday, Ive watched many of your videos and am very grateful for your tips, they helped me spray with very good results. Ive got a question for you, im painting a mates HJ sedan in XR5 orange which consists of base cote of funky orange then pearl orange translucent orange (candy type) then clear cote. PS sure you know of this combination.... If i keep a consistant style of painting, can i paint panels individualy without the whole car ut together. Or will this give me an in consistent finish? better to paint back to front as one? Kind regards
Hi mate just wondered if i could pick your brains for some advice mate ? I bought 2 new prolites one base one clear,and the basecoat gun is top and bottom heavy on the paint fan ? Also it keeps spitting little chunks of paint out every now and then ? It did it from first time of using it and i am very thorough with cleaning ! Have been wondering if the gun has a manufacturing fault but never ever had trouble with a new devilbiss gun ? Only used it 4 times ? Any advice on this would be great ? Gonna speak to rep i bought it off tomorrow,thank you 👍
Mark Me I'm wearing a anti static jacket with woven carbon in it, the Tyvek suits don't have anti static so no real use using one but to keep yourself clean, when its 40c I'm not layering up like an Eskimo and I can get jobs just as clean wearing a singlet and shorts you just have to blow the dust off yourself before you go in.
Hey mate. The paint booth I'm using doesn't have any heat at the moment. What would you say the coldest temperature to paint in? Right now the weather here is between 5 C to 15 C, is it too cold?
Jiazi Liu Yes its cold but I believe 15 is still ok to paint in, you will have extended drying times and chance of issues any colder than that. The winter is coming (lol) here in Perth too so stay tuned in the next few months I'll be painting in a colder environment without heat in my booth too so I'll be making some videos giving tips on painting in the cold.
***** he shot the silver the same as he did all other colors(that doesnt really help) nothin really different. i talked to this older dude at a paint shop who had 40 years exp..he said people usually get Mottling or tiger stripes cause they use cheap $20 or $30 reducers that mostly contain Acetone, he said u gota use higher quality reducers and use a slow reducer and medium if its cold... I think gun man must uses high quality reducers with with quality paint so he never has problems...i mainly struggled a bit with Valspar low VOC paint but not with Metalux.. its a trial and error type of stuff also u gota make sure the cup of your gun doesnt get cloged on top or it will affect how the metallics lay..later
Hi I love watching your vids , great , I have one question , with the Holden Utes there is the wheel arch crease in all guards , allot of guys bog the crease out cause they can't retain the shape , my experence was , Hz 79 mint straight body , in mollested ute , I was confronted buy a guy at the gas station who collected holdens and said if I loose the crease the value would be not as good , so I cut out two card board patterns of the crease from the wheel arch up and felt marked the crease each paint process , sanders away from the marks , both ways following the pen lines , long boarded from the marks ,when the top coat was applied there they were , we undercoated 4 times , and continuous top coat till done , clears to Finnish , polish all good. Looks tops , I wish you were the gunman with my ute but the hoses won't reach New Zealand , keep up the good work thanks
hey gunny, hope all is well with you. any chance you could run through the air line setup and sizes from compressor to gun. having a whole load of probs with pressure drop at the mo. using GTI pro. thanks bud :)
Hi Gunny, thanks for tip bud, however I thought you should know what my problem was. I decided to call in an engineer to look at it and give compressor a service. What he found, blew my mind! The workshop next to mine was re-let the weekend gone. My compressor is outside at the rear of my paint shop. My new neighbours had T'd into my air supply, hence my drop in pressure. Prob sorted now, and new neighbours!. just another day :) Take care Gunny, and thanks for all your work on the vids...
I'm from the states,in a town called Rancho Cucamonga Ca.next to Ontario International Airport. Check out coastairbrush.com & coastairbrush tv.I have learned a loads from this out fit.Supporting artist like Ryno,Cory Saintclair,Mike Lavelley,Craig Fraisers. Just to name a few.Also check out Ryan Townsend, Bizzurk custom paint he shares a lot of knowledge.Let us know how u like the dagger airbrush. My work horse is the Iwata eclipse cs gravity feed.It comes with. .35 mm set up, and easily converts to .5 mm using eclipses hp siphon needle, nozzle, air cap.I would recommend the kustom eclipse cs version due to larger volume cup as a starting bases gun.General rule on reduction for .5 mm set up, solvent based is 1:1 & thinner, with 25- 30 psi. constant airflow, NOT from a small pulsating airbrush compressor.The neo model is more of a kids airbrush for hobbies. I get it to work ok,but also have had skipping & response issues.Paint On! For now,out.
nice job mirror finish i watch ya videos live or not either way its all good info n great way waste time you always get thumbs up from me i got few videos on my channel aswell check em out if ya get time im also on facebook inn bunch autobody groups could add ya if ya got fb ? lots good info people in those groups keep videos coming

Great idea to show one on orange peel.
Wow the HQ Ute turned out perfect ! Well done. I always find your videos educational and never dull or repetitive. I like how you talk your way through the job. This way I learn the most information. The how to minimize orange peel video will be a big help for me. Thanks Gunman ! :)
as soon as the first quarter was coated in black you could see how good the prep has been.
awesome paint job! I wish I could learn to paint. I'm self taught. I taught myself to do body work. I could paint but I don't think my body work is at that point that the paint job would look that clean. great job. God bless
Man that look so good, you should ask the owner to come down and show the car finished. Great work man.
john connolly I plan on it and I'm mates with the owner, he's just in the process of getting the engineering cert for the work hes done.
Another great video it is nice to see a real pro doing what he loves. Your love for what you do shows in your videos and your voice. Keep up the great work.
good video mate. only just found your channel and i'm in perth as well. I've been searching for someone to paint my '79 f350 and when it's ready for paint you're the first person ill call.
SteveExtreme email us info@spraytek.net.au
Wow nice work gunman I need to fly you to Canada to paint my car these videos keep getting better every time you post.
Awesome job Gunman! Looking forward to the clear coat video for this job. +1 on the free, non-subscription approach to UA-cam videos. Those of us who are learning are benefitting from your experience. Thank you for making these videos and sharing them!

by far the best I've ever seen!!John in Tewantin QLD.
LUV your vids. they have been like a breath of fresh air for me. I work as a spray painter and have been doing that for about 15 years. Im allways triyng to improv my self as a painter and have a true passion for it (how mad is that lol) you are the man!!! thx alot.. still waiting for the FLG-5 review haha
Marías Guðmundsson Thanks man, not long now.
Please continue videos for this job. Would love to see finished product.
Because it seems like a good video to mention this on...

rhkips Thanks mate, I'm not too experienced with motospray but if you want a decent budget paint then I'd recommend giving Concept paints a go.
A live event on youtube would be cool. I know you can do one with a webcam but not sure how to do it with a camera like the GoPro. Sometimes the video can lag or be poor from a webcam so I'd be interested to see how it would do for this kind of work! Always enjoy the real life painting vids... unedited. Keep up the great work :)
I have learnt a lot from watching his videos cherrs & thanks .
you said thumbs up no way butt double thumbs up great job fantastic job with the gun
Thanks mate :-)
Looks very good as usual, a live event would be nice. Seen some events but they was very laggy. Maybe try a test first to see how it works out?
Michael Lindström Yeah I'd like to but it opens up a whole lot of issues like you say, I dont even know if the GoPro can stream straight to a computer so I may even have to upgrade but hopefully in the future I'll do something or just make a TV show haha :-)
The best videos cant wait for the clearcoat
Hurry up mate
I can understand why the owner made his own ad recommending your shop for work cause that is an unreal finish on that hq mate. I'd honestly tow my project car on a car trailer from qld to wa just have you paint it haha no joke. Keep up the awesome work bud.
Thx for your time, to make these videos!
Good to see the top body line is still in the quarters a lot of show cars I have seen have just boged over them
I could see my reflection as i was watching the vid amazing great work
Hey Gunny,
I am a loyal subscriber and enjoy all your Vids. I like that you repeat yourself, becuase you know it is critical to the quality of the finish. I am about to paint my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac that is blue and change it to Red Hot Red. This is a great video that I am respray process just like your. Great Video, Keep Going.

Hi gunman,defo like to see any footage of this job mate as i would think the same for all the gunman followers on UA-cam 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Carl Heath Gives me the motivation to get on and finish editing the footage and do a full set of videos on it, I know the owner likes the videos too.
Airbrushing now, too? Man, awesome, just awesome.
Try to stay in custompainting and effects when it comes to airbrushing for its closer to painting than creating portraits and stuff like that.
Or you could do those things in a different format entirely.
I have painted my Motorcycle candy orange(silver,tinted clear) as my very first paint job with skills I learned watching your videos.
I am an apprentice in the first year and usually my workplace won't let apprentices go into the booth in the first 1,5 years but after they've seen the work on my bike, they will allow me to paint in the booth earlier :3
Great job as always.
hi gunman, I watch them as I am not a spray painter but watching is learning, I get heaps of info out of it and as we don't have the colleges for oldies here in Launceston Tas, I am sure I am getting more out of your videos anyway, better and more informed I'm sure, I have had lots of technical training by professional trainers and you are in my opinion better than most by far.
Thanks man, I do my best.
Live spray. Yes would like that.
nice work mate i would like to see the footage from polishing that nice black pick up keep up the good work vids are great very helpfull tips.
Great video as always, really like the idea about the showing us how to paint wrong and how to correct that. Any video you put out i will watch becouse i'm so new to spray painting and the info is awesom. Many thanks. Thumbs up as allways.
Just keep the videos coming. Great job as allways. Thank you for making them and thank you for keeping it free.

I would love to see how you do the polishing as you used a ceramic type clear and what it was like.off the gun and then when you polished it up. ( I remember seeing a small walk around of the car, aka a black mirror) haha
Ps great vid!
Hello, I like a lot your videos. I am interested in knowing which brand is the pneumatic sander you use and what would be the pressure required to use it. I also wanted to ask you a video talking about serious air compressor which idel for a person who wants to put a small business.
muito bom video, um trabalho espectacular só uma nota em carros pretos não per sisas de dar tanta tinta, de mão e meia chega perfeitamente. abraço
Very nice job, I am sure you had some extra hours into the prep work, coz every little mistake will show up in that color.
Great Job, I foolishly picked up a Sata 4000 HVLP, Now im trying to trade/sell it for a Tekna Pro-Lite.
nice video mate god i wish i was closer to you as i'm in tassie an would love ro have to teach me some hands on hands work my wrx is ready for paint first time spraying would love to know some good tips for a newbie
Spray painting seems to be very easy when you do it.
+SwPiotrekaplication itself isn't hard its prepping , and knowledge of painting that takes time.
Hey there mate.Awsome job! If you are going to do a video about the orange peel I would like to make a suggestion.To explain to people what is the difference between european,american,japanese etc.orange peel look.I have noticed after watching tons of videos and reading kmeters of comments that the europeans tend to say about american or japanese finishes that they are "orange peely" and viceversa.In my opinion and I am sure I yours too a painter has to get as close as posible to the original finish.

good job buddy
Gday, Ive watched many of your videos and am very grateful for your tips, they helped me spray with very good results. Ive got a question for you, im painting a mates HJ sedan in XR5 orange which consists of base cote of funky orange then pearl orange translucent orange (candy type) then clear cote. PS sure you know of this combination.... If i keep a consistant style of painting, can i paint panels individualy without the whole car ut together. Or will this give me an in consistent finish? better to paint back to front as one? Kind regards
lets get morgan freeman to narrate the videos and you just keep painting your ass off gunny...keep em coming LOL
now thats the video i need to see :)
Hi mate just wondered if i could pick your brains for some advice mate ? I bought 2 new prolites one base one clear,and the basecoat gun is top and bottom heavy on the paint fan ? Also it keeps spitting little chunks of paint out every now and then ? It did it from first time of using it and i am very thorough with cleaning ! Have been wondering if the gun has a manufacturing fault but never ever had trouble with a new devilbiss gun ? Only used it 4 times ? Any advice on this would be great ? Gonna speak to rep i bought it off tomorrow,thank you 👍
What do you think about electric turbine spray guns?
great vid, but why would you do all that prep and cleaning then wear clothing you sanded with in there? ever use tyvek suits?
Mark Me I'm wearing a anti static jacket with woven carbon in it, the Tyvek suits don't have anti static so no real use using one but to keep yourself clean, when its 40c I'm not layering up like an Eskimo and I can get jobs just as clean wearing a singlet and shorts you just have to blow the dust off yourself before you go in.

Jiazi Liu Yes its cold but I believe 15 is still ok to paint in, you will have extended drying times and chance of issues any colder than that. The winter is coming (lol) here in Perth too so stay tuned in the next few months I'll be painting in a colder environment without heat in my booth too so I'll be making some videos giving tips on painting in the cold.
The Gunman Thanks for the answer. Looking forward to your video :)
Can u do how to spray silver & golds, and if u have tips to trouble shoot using different reducers or if temperatures affect them??
***** he shot the silver the same as he did all other colors(that doesnt really help) nothin really different. i talked to this older dude at a paint shop who had 40 years exp..he said people usually get Mottling or tiger stripes cause they use cheap $20 or $30 reducers that mostly contain Acetone, he said u gota use higher quality reducers and use a slow reducer and medium if its cold... I think gun man must uses high quality reducers with with quality paint so he never has problems...i mainly struggled a bit with Valspar low VOC paint but not with Metalux.. its a trial and error type of stuff
also u gota make sure the cup of your gun doesnt get cloged on top or it will affect how the metallics lay..later
hey mate im in perth what ur company name... got my self a hz ute an want a killa job.. love ya work by the way

Hi I love watching your vids , great , I have one question , with the Holden Utes there is the wheel arch crease in all guards , allot of guys bog the crease out cause they can't retain the shape , my experence was , Hz 79 mint straight body , in mollested ute , I was confronted buy a guy at the gas station who collected holdens and said if I loose the crease the value would be not as good , so I cut out two card board patterns of the crease from the wheel arch up and felt marked the crease each paint process , sanders away from the marks , both ways following the pen lines , long boarded from the marks ,when the top coat was applied there they were , we undercoated 4 times , and continuous top coat till done , clears to Finnish , polish all good. Looks tops , I wish you were the gunman with my ute but the hoses won't reach New Zealand , keep up the good work thanks
Thanks man :) I do plan on making it to NZ one day tho
then while you are here do a vid on my hz holden
hey gunny, hope all is well with you. any chance you could run through the air line setup and sizes from compressor to gun. having a whole load of probs with pressure drop at the mo. using GTI pro. thanks bud :)
+Dave Pollard lower pressure at the regulator on the wall until it's just enough for the gun.
Hi Gunny, thanks for tip bud, however I thought you should know what my problem was. I decided to call in an engineer to look at it and give compressor a service. What he found, blew my mind! The workshop next to mine was re-let the weekend gone. My compressor is outside at the rear of my paint shop. My new neighbours had T'd into my air supply, hence my drop in pressure. Prob sorted now, and new neighbours!. just another day :) Take care Gunny, and thanks for all your work on the vids...
Shake off them haters keep posting

I'm from the states,in a town called Rancho Cucamonga Ca.next to Ontario International Airport. Check out coastairbrush.com & coastairbrush tv.I have learned a loads from this out fit.Supporting artist like Ryno,Cory Saintclair,Mike Lavelley,Craig Fraisers. Just to name a few.Also check out Ryan Townsend, Bizzurk custom paint he shares a lot of knowledge.Let us know how u like the dagger airbrush. My work horse is the Iwata eclipse cs gravity feed.It comes with. .35 mm set up, and easily converts to .5 mm using eclipses hp siphon needle, nozzle, air cap.I would recommend the kustom eclipse cs version due to larger volume cup as a starting bases gun.General rule on reduction for .5 mm set up, solvent based is 1:1 & thinner, with 25- 30 psi. constant airflow, NOT from a small pulsating airbrush compressor.The neo model is more of a kids airbrush for hobbies. I get it to work ok,but also have had skipping & response issues.Paint On! For now,out.
