Had a shop do a total respray on my truck from hail damage. From the go it looked terrible about 2months later it went dull with very little shine. They soaked the insurance Co. $6700. for the job. A couple of drunk guys in there garage over the weekend could have done a better job......I was pissed.!!!!
YES, VIVE LA SCIENCE. Mate that is a great and very clear fix. THANK YOU so lets see if I have distilled this right...If its peely then you can. * Up the pressure, (but not too much or it will go dry yes?) * Get closer (but dont go too slow or it will run) * Thin the material ( but not too much or you'll get runs, reduce the gloss, get solvent pop) Have I got that right? Mate the TAFE should be sending their teachers to YOU for "proper" training. Keep up the great work and dont think for a minute that we dont all appreciate it. Cheers
I can tell you put allot of time and planning in making this video. It was really much appreciated. I enjoyed seeing the different parts of the panel using different settings and distance. It turned out to be a very educational video thanks :)
We are ever grateful for the time you take to teach us all professionals. Your videos have been an eye opener for all of us. Heartfelt thanks from India for taking such an enormous effort to teach us something new everytime. God bless your family. Warm Regards On behalf of all professionals who learn from you
Great job with the videos. I've been painting cars on and of for years . But I haven't painted anything for over 5 years and just starting to get back into it now , It's great to be able to get some pointers . Thanks Carl
Great vids. One can always learn something by watching and listening.One thing I do find is that a second coat of clear flows out better than the first and a third coat even better again. So while a perfectly flat coat is not possible it is possible to get pretty damn close.Keep up the vids. You obviously know your stuff.
Awesome video as always! :) If you get a chance to do the followup one you mentioned, it would be fantastic. If you used an LVLP gun on one side, and the FLG5/SGK on the other, that would be PERFECT (for us without big compressors).
nice explaining bro i feel more confident i admire ur help i will help others learn as i go as well subcribe subcribe i got euro clear and this explains my situation
Thanks Gunman. It's noticible the amount of time and effort you put you these videos. As apprentice and an amateur in body repair and painting, your videos have helped me so much! Thanks a million man ! I hope someday I'll be able to paint like you do!
Very helpful to see the various settings/distances! And thank you as I know there is a ton of time and prep goes into this project and you do it selflessly to help - Thank you Gunman!!!
Another great Gunman production, keep up the great work and keep the videos coming. Looking forward to the LVLP video. Thanks again for taking the time out of your day to do these videos they show your love for the trade.
I just painted my 1969 Chevy C10 and it came out nearly perfect thanks to the sharing of your exceptional insight and skills. Reduced the clear. Set the gun up full spray. Turned out the fluid 4 turns and kept the gun 5cm from my work. Hardly even a hint of orange peel. I have 3 small sags/runs on the entire truck. Have to look hard to see them. Thank you very much! Your video's are totally awesome! Keep up the good work.
Thank you for taking the time, and a lot of effort to produce this video for us all. Great explanations, I'm sure it'll help me next time I shoot a clear. Thanks
I know this video is a lil old but just wanted to thank you for taking time to do these. I for one really appreciate it. They have helped me tremendously.....
Absolutely appreciated your time and effort. It is very rare when someone educating this way, with examples etc. and not just "playing the professional"! Thank you!
Thanks for your channel. I recently discovered your channel and subscribed after watching a few...and it just keeps on getting better for me as I delve into the watching the plethora of videos you have uploaded. As many others have said, it is really appreciated the time and effort that you put into your posts. Of course, all the time and the effort means nothing if the quality of the content is not worthy of the time and effort. Your content is very high quality and very worthwhile. Real world applications, problems and solutions. Kudos to you. This topic reminds me of an incident quite a few years ago when my daughter backed into a car., owned by a young man visiting a neighbour. A very good friend, who is a spray painter, offered to fix the other vehicle, only asking my daughter just for the cost of the materials (at my insistence. He would have done it for free, but I insisted she needed to learn from her mistake. A real world lesson as she was only 18). As a non-spray tech, I thought the young man's car looked nice. The young male owner who was fresh out of high school and thought he knew everything about the world, including how to spray paint a car.... because his car had recently been resprayed. He proceeded to criticise the quality of the repair work. Now my friend is an automotive paint rep for a paint distributor and his job was showing paint shops how to paint his company's paint products. He has been in the game since he was 18 (and was mid 50's at that time). It is safe to say he knew his stuff. What followed was a critique of this young man's criticism of the repair. This dissection included such details as you are demonstrating in this video about the quality of the resultant clearcoat matching the existing clearcoat on the vehicle. As my friend said "I can easily adjust my repair work to get the finish/quality of the clearcoat, to have less orange peel, but then it will look better than the rest of your (shitty) paint job. By the time my friend was finished the young man realised that the quality of his new full respray was not as good as he first thought it was after all. Gulp. That was real world schooling for the young man who thought he knew everything. LOL Anyway, thanks again from a new subscriber located in Brisbane, Australia.
heey i`m have almost no orange peel using a technique that i learn on youtube also. U paint whit no reducer at 1 coat, 10% at second, 20% at third, and 40% in the last thin coat just a little bit more than a dropcoat. It makes the dry time a lot longer and this way the paint end looking great.
@@eksine i know this is old, but I spray at a way higher pressure for clear (26-28psi) and decrease my distance by a few inches. Have done multiple full sprays and resprays and all panels came out near glass. My painter teacher taught me to up the pressure for a glass finish. Something about forcing it to atomize at a higher pressure. Never had any orange peel issues since, but it does take getting used to to not cause runs or excessive build up/texture.
@@novinnovations4026 I did learn that technique actually, I'm using 29-30 psi and yeah the hard part is first using a test hood and figure out what is the closest distance need to get that right finish. thanks man and hope you have sucess in your career
yes! I've figured this out too, go thinner on last coats to smooth things out, and also higher pressure helps, I use a cheap acrylic enamel and they recommend 40 psi, which I learned to follow, and also to keep the trigger restricted helps get a fine atomize: fine atomize fine OP coarse atomize coarse OP.
Gunman do u reduce most of your clears to 20%..ive tried that using 80-100 dollar clear coats and because its the cheaper clears it dulls out a bit so i reduce it only around 5% some peel but it shines or more reduced and it dulls, guess that doesnt happen when your using 200-300 dollars clear?
Hey gunman, I like to thank you for the help, you have really saved me a lot of time and if I would have watched sooner some mistakes I already made. I'm shooting in San Antonio Texas USA so the weather this time of year is up for grabs. Do you wet sand between paint and clear? Thanks Andrew
How would you do orange peel for BMW with sata 4000 1.3 hvlp with MS clear? Any hints? BMW from 2003 year, with quite a huge peel all over the body. I am used to more flat clearcoat surface..
Years later and this is still an amazing informative video. I love the science experiment feel with different variables. Just bought a '63 Ford F600 I can't wait to pain. Thanks for the video!
Hi, thanks, I spray wood, mainly pre-cat coloured lacquer which i realise now is easy, recently i had to spray some two part PU gloss paint, really struggled not to get orange peel, normally i'd use my ANI guns which work 'ok' but i couldn't get the fine mist you talk about so today i tried my most expense Deviblis gun, it worked great, i now sort of know the difference between the cheap guns n why i had to pay over £100 for the Deviblis.
Ran across this video! Thank you for your time spent in educating the masses on proper painting. I've not tried reducer in clear yet but I will try it today. Great video!
As a beginner I'm a little confused, since your final job at the end shows the tip of your gun is often about 15 cm from the work, not 5 cm which you show gives the best result as far as orange peel.... Having had more than my share of runs I feel pretty timid when the gun is so close. Presumably I need to hold the gun closer, stop down the paint, and get a better quality gun. I suppose it is all about understanding your tools through experience.
you and I are the only ones that have videos on this subject. I put some videos for guys who dont have a booth they can use 16lbs or 1.1 bar and 1/4 in on the fan 2.5 to 3 turns out on the material Tekna pro lite and medium solids 4-1 clear spray gun and hvlp cap this is to get a pretty smooth finish on a flat panel with a tolerable amount of spray dust so you can see to spray in your garage without many fans. better finish than LVLP.
god bless you ...now we have a clue on the why... and i know spraying with a can means im destined to have to sand,pollish and wax right because im hopeless if i dream of getting top results.
That’s a very nice 👍 video gunman I really appreciate that brother and I really wish I was there to help you do that thanks 🙏 for the information ℹ️ bro much love and respect ✊👍👍👍👍👍👍👊👊👊💯💯💯💯💯💪💪👏👏👏👌👌ℹ️✨✨✨
Just wondering if you have done a video on 2k solid as I'm doing my Hq in ford monza red solid 2k and I'm finding it very hard not to get orange peel. I have a hvlp gun 1.3 nozzle, about 25 psi 5cm away from panels, 20% reducer. primer was sanded with 400 grit. I'm allowing 20mins between coats. I have a channel davo hq that shows my latest attempts. any advice would be appreciated.
im in the processor buying the equipment to learn to paint etc.. I know the basics, Mixing paint etc, But i can still never get a answer no matter what videos i watch.. 1. What air pressure is required for all guns? Conventional, HVLP and LVLP? 2. Does that pressure setting change between different brand paints etc? Or is it, Once you found the optimum pressure for your certain gun, Do you tend to always spray with it at that pressure? Reason why im asking for air pressures on all guns, is because im spending a bit of money and buying a range of guns, Find which works best for ME. So far ive ordered a DevilBiss gun with a TE20 aircap... A HVLP and LVLP gun too..... I just dont know how to find the right air pressures, without painting a car panel and then finding out it came out horrible lol cheers
thanks bro. so, i sprayed a door today. 1.0 mini gun full/full, 5-7cm. 28psi. its ok, but bit peely. after watching your vid i reckon its viscosity (20 deg here in nz) and no reducer (could be thick clear - Lesenol 1028). i can compound it out, but for a walk away finish, next time ill 10% reduce it.
Clearcoat ok but how do you apply straightgloss Black, you know paint that needs no clearcoat. Mixture, fan, pressure and paintfeed. You have video on virtualchrome but you can apply it on straightgloss Black. Hope you understand what I mean. I'm struggling with how/what/where thing here...
great videos, thanks à lot, why is the standard given distance 20 cm? is it just to allow large fan specifications ? a friend that teaches painting say he aim for a 30 cm tall pattern, at about 15 cm, and if more why not !!! what may be the trouble when working near ? Is it then mandatory to paint from bottom up to be sure no drip or "bellies" ? thanks again, lot of things to think about in your videos..
This is kind of old but I'll still reply incase it can help someone else. If your too close to the panel it doesnt matter how fast you move. You will run make a run. And the further away you are the more dry your gun will spray. It's not mandatory if you start from the bottom or top. Start where ever is most comfortable. In theory it's better to start from the bottom to reduce chances of runs but In my experience (painting at a Lexus dealership in houston TX 6 yrs now) it doesnt make much difference.
@@bikerboy4161 i feel like he the gunman doesn't know how to read a tape? 5cm(2inches)? that has to be way to close doesn't it? i am no professional, but at a stand off of about 13-18cm(5-7inches) my hvlp gun seems to do well and lays paint plenty fast for me.
Have you sprayed ppg vc570p clear with the tekna copper gun using a 7E7 air cap 1.4 needle? Settings you prefer on this gun with solventbourne basecoat/clearcoat? Thank you,
YOU LITTLE CHAMP GUNMAN My questions all answered wish I saw this only a week ago after buggerising around in my shed This video has allowed me to fine tune my result more than I would of thought possible I had no idea you could get such a great finish at 10% reducer at only 5 - 9 cms away from the object Even the low cost 2K clear I tried proved results very close to whats seen in the video
Once it becomes habit it's easy but at the start it seems a bit scary holding the gun so close, speed up the passes and BAM!! awesome paintwork is at your fingertips :-)
Don't understand europeen finish ????? what that means ??? how you pay that what you have , come to my garage you pay good work you have good work you pay assurance french you have french assurance work :))))
Hi, what do you mean by 10% reducer? Is that thinners? On my paint can, the instructions use ratios rather than percentages... It says paint:thinner ratio must be 1:1.2 so that to me says 120% reducer... What am i doing wrong? Im getting terrible orange peel.. like even worse than your first example. Im just a beginner here. Need help please
Thanks for sharing your video. Naice Playlist Interesting Watch I liked it so I liked it Waiting on your next hope it is soon You made my twenty-four hours
Gunman great stuff. Question. Is the clearcoat orange peel look reduced if you sand the orange peel out of the basecoat first? If it helps, what grit would you recommend for finishing base coat sanding. Alternatively, would you just not bother with basecoat sanding?? Thanks again for the great vids
hello. I have a gun accuspray 1.4 and I have big problem always big orange peel very very bad. could you tell me about PSI and distance. I don't speak English I use translator but I need your help. thanks.
Hi Gunman are you sure it’s 5cm as that’s only 2 inches distance you are spraying from the panel. Should it not be 5 inches approx 13 cm from the panel. 2 inches just seems a bit close compared to what I’ve been getting taught.
Hey buddy by reducer what kind? Are we talking xylene, or paint thinner from Walmart. I just was wondering bc there's a lot of different thinner and reducers and hell when I say thinner and reducer it's probably called the same but what kind what I'm wondering
I love a new color of Mercedes. It is called Blu Cavansite and it is similar to AUDI Blu Estoril. Why do these color are so brilliant and full of gloss? They look like a wet effect. Do they have a special formulation?
Hi,strikter great work done,but i had ed pleased you that you make a Video with 2k one stage paint wirh all exlaned. I am going to thanksfully Wien you would do that. Thanku in befor
WHEN YOU WORK ON OLD AND RUSTY CAR LIKE WE HAVE IN MONTREAL QUEBEC ,ORANGE PEEL IS VERY GOOD IN DAT CASE BECAUSE IT COVER LOTS INPERFECTION,GOOD LEARNING THANK U JUST GIVE ME BACK MEMORY SERVANT OF GOD RASTAFARI.
Gunman would the humidity effect gloss levels? Im in Melbourne and I find (using HS clear with a fast hardener) I loose gloss in the warmer months. But when its cooler weather it looks great. I need to use the fast hardener because we need to get the jobs out ASAP
Just a simple observation...why in the world would you want to spray anything at less than 15 cm distance? If you do that you will be taking way too long to cover a vehicle and you will fatigue yourself in the process. It's only my opinion but if I had a gun that wouldn't spray better than at least an 8 inch wide swath at 15 cm from a panel I would fire it in the bin...or keep it to lend out to wannabe painters for garage jobs.
just spray as bad as you can with one condition, no runs, no build up do 5 coats and sand with 500 until 2000, wet at higher grit, you can even use 300 for first one if you manage to do a good job in creating very bad orange peel visualize after each sand (after dry) the depth of orange peel and determine next grit strength then buffer and polishing substance when there is no more orange peel done lot of hardwork but anyone can do it
here in EU we use alot of UHS clear coats and there is a problem with these kind of jobs when u need to get the right orange peel or i call it texture on the car. this is where the VOC is coming in as a problem for example when you over reduce a paint or clear coat its not legal paint any more because it goes over the VOC rating but who the hell cares anyway right? =) but its pretty easy when you understand how it sprays when you over reduce it then its easy to get the right texture. Warning all colors or clear coats don't work well with over reducing it can cause problems... good video btv!
Learn to paint!!!! Or don't.....knowing how is a waste of time and sure way to put a target on your back. Just go ahead and be a good guy with a big mouth. That seems to work better than any practical ability or knowledge.
I have a question on a special item. I need to paint a 66 Mustang Dash. Using Single stage rat rod black (3:1) and going to mix 25% normal clear (4:1) for durability and to mimic the factory finish. I want it to be very flat so based on what you did in the video what do you recommend for NO orange peel? I would think 20% reduced (both) and 5cm but 20psi seems low...do you recommend that over say a 26 PSI ? THANK You
That was excellent, really informative and well presented. Thanks for take a big chunk of time from your schedule to do such a great video, it's very much appreciated.
I REALLY REALLY appreciate the time and effort you put into this vid!!!
Thanks :-)

Single stage paint no clear rape job
Is "orange peel" referring to how much the finish looks like compared to the outside of an orange?
I love Apple Peel.
Top notch informational vid! Thanks for taking the time to make this! I'm sure it took lots of time to set up and video it!
Velvethamma Best part of a day went into this one.
YES, VIVE LA SCIENCE. Mate that is a great and very clear fix. THANK YOU so lets see if I have distilled this right...If its peely then you can.
* Up the pressure, (but not too much or it will go dry yes?)
* Get closer (but dont go too slow or it will run)
* Thin the material ( but not too much or you'll get runs, reduce the gloss, get solvent pop)
Have I got that right?
Mate the TAFE should be sending their teachers to YOU for "proper" training. Keep up the great work and dont think for a minute that we dont all appreciate it. Cheers
TresMamboMusicSchool Yes, Yes, Yes. Top of the class :-)
Sorry for the stupid question but do these techniques apply to base and clear coat?
You are FUCKING awesome buddy. You were made to do this in life, a lot of people can learn from you. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I can tell you put allot of time and planning in making this video. It was really much appreciated. I enjoyed seeing the different parts of the panel using different settings and distance. It turned out to be a very educational video thanks :)

You're a legend. I'd be fucked without you :) Thanks man
Hi if laquareing how many costs is correct, and would I bet correct in , wet blocking with 1500, then 3000, 6000 thanks
Thank you for another good video this will help me
Mate!!! You're an example of what Aussies were like before the nation became another state of Washington..Thank you for your time and education !!
I could had said it better, spot on.
What? What's wrong with WA?
By click bait. Lol
What does Washington State have to do with any of this?
thank you gunman ..for taking your time doing all the videos ....after 6 years go i came.back to remember where i gett some of my skills

pete ss This clear is a HS clear and very thick so not all clears need to be thinned that much.
thanks for the reply man
Your fans appreciate the effort you give. Thanks G'Man!! Nicely done and explained.
Hey gunman, I like to thank you for the help, you have really saved me a lot of time and if I would have watched sooner some mistakes I already made. I'm shooting in San Antonio Texas USA so the weather this time of year is up for grabs. Do you wet sand between paint and clear? Thanks Andrew
Thanks man. No, I'd never sand between colour and clear because the scratches would be visible after clearing.

Years later and this is still an amazing informative video. I love the science experiment feel with different variables. Just bought a '63 Ford F600 I can't wait to pain. Thanks for the video!
Much appreciated. What does "full fan" mean? 6 inch pattern at 6" distance, or fan knob all the way out? (Which would take a lot of air). thanks.
I just refer to full fan as full turn on the knob.
this makes me want to donate because i know that wasnt cheap either..Thanks mate!
Great video Thanks
Thanks for taking the time to explain this. Haven't seen a video on cut and buffing orange peel, did I miss it.
edsf100 I have a whole playlist on my channel. This link should get you there.

Отлично показано влияние расстояния и вязкости на окраску!
Добавлю, что густота лака зависит от температуры..
hmmm I'm curious how orange peel would look at 2-2,5 bar and around 15 cm distance.
Interesting video.
Thanks.
6 cm is 2 inches are you really serious that's so close??
Yeah...pretty extreme I thought.
Hi, thanks, I spray wood, mainly pre-cat coloured lacquer which i realise now is easy, recently i had to spray some two part PU gloss paint, really struggled not to get orange peel, normally i'd use my ANI guns which work 'ok' but i couldn't get the fine mist you talk about so today i tried my most expense Deviblis gun, it worked great, i now sort of know the difference between the cheap guns n why i had to pay over £100 for the Deviblis.
Great video as usual. Lots of great information. I think the right reduction for me will play a big key. Thanks again Gunman.
Ran across this video! Thank you for your time spent in educating the masses on proper painting. I've not tried reducer in clear yet but I will try it today. Great video!

Nice work man ! we should all be honoured with your hard work putting these vids together and explaining so clearly,thanks mate.
King of spray painting on YT
god bless you ...now we have a clue on the why... and i know spraying with a can means im destined to have to sand,pollish and wax right because im hopeless if i dream of getting top results.
What is the best clear coat gun for a diy that’s not expensive?
Thanks
The gpi is an all around great gun ,you should givr it a try,i love mine

Just wondering if you have done a video on 2k solid as I'm doing my Hq in ford monza red solid 2k and I'm finding it very hard not to get orange peel. I have a hvlp gun 1.3 nozzle, about 25 psi 5cm away from panels, 20% reducer. primer was sanded with 400 grit. I'm allowing 20mins between coats. I have a channel davo hq that shows my latest attempts. any advice would be appreciated.
im in the processor buying the equipment to learn to paint etc..
I know the basics, Mixing paint etc, But i can still never get a answer no matter what videos i watch..
1. What air pressure is required for all guns? Conventional, HVLP and LVLP?
2. Does that pressure setting change between different brand paints etc?
Or is it, Once you found the optimum pressure for your certain gun, Do you tend to always spray with it at that pressure?
Reason why im asking for air pressures on all guns, is because im spending a bit of money and buying a range of guns, Find which works best for ME.
So far ive ordered a DevilBiss gun with a TE20 aircap... A HVLP and LVLP gun too.....
I just dont know how to find the right air pressures, without painting a car panel and then finding out it came out horrible lol
cheers
thanks bro. so, i sprayed a door today. 1.0 mini gun full/full, 5-7cm. 28psi. its ok, but bit peely. after watching your vid i reckon its viscosity (20 deg here in nz) and no reducer (could be thick clear - Lesenol 1028). i can compound it out, but for a walk away finish, next time ill 10% reduce it.
Wowwww...This is fantastic info. Great jobCan you make something similar with your Sata 5000 RP ?Thanks.
Clearcoat ok but how do you apply straightgloss Black, you know paint that needs no clearcoat. Mixture, fan, pressure and paintfeed. You have video on virtualchrome but you can apply it on straightgloss Black. Hope you understand what I mean. I'm struggling with how/what/where thing here...
great videos, thanks à lot,
why is the standard given distance 20 cm? is it just to allow large fan specifications ? a friend that teaches painting say he aim for a 30 cm tall pattern, at about 15 cm, and if more why not !!!
what may be the trouble when working near ? Is it then mandatory to paint from bottom up to be sure no drip or "bellies" ?
thanks again, lot of things to think about in your videos..
This is kind of old but I'll still reply incase it can help someone else. If your too close to the panel it doesnt matter how fast you move. You will run make a run. And the further away you are the more dry your gun will spray. It's not mandatory if you start from the bottom or top. Start where ever is most comfortable. In theory it's better to start from the bottom to reduce chances of runs but In my experience (painting at a Lexus dealership in houston TX 6 yrs now) it doesnt make much difference.
@@bikerboy4161 i feel like he the gunman doesn't know how to read a tape? 5cm(2inches)? that has to be way to close doesn't it? i am no professional, but at a stand off of about 13-18cm(5-7inches) my hvlp gun seems to do well and lays paint plenty fast for me.
WOW THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL
Thank you. Very informative.
Cleaaaaan work at the end
Have you sprayed ppg vc570p clear with the tekna copper gun using a 7E7 air cap 1.4 needle? Settings you prefer on this gun with solventbourne basecoat/clearcoat? Thank you,
1:59 - Taste Test, my favor6tine of the day!
Thanks, great video. Question for you: You suggest at around 9:05 conventional is between LVLP and HVLP so is conventional MVLP?
YOU LITTLE CHAMP GUNMAN
My questions all answered wish I saw this only a week ago after buggerising around in my shed
This video has allowed me to fine tune my result more than I would of thought possible
I had no idea you could get such a great finish at 10% reducer at only 5 - 9 cms away from the object
Even the low cost 2K clear I tried proved results very close to whats seen in the video
Once it becomes habit it's easy but at the start it seems a bit scary holding the gun so close, speed up the passes and BAM!! awesome paintwork is at your fingertips :-)
what does it mean by 10% reducer
Thumbs down for the Communist Bob Casey ad. Sorry, collateral damage..take it up with Google/UA-cam.
cool always like to watch your vids :)
Don't understand europeen finish ????? what that means ??? how you pay that what you have , come to my garage you pay good work you have good work you pay assurance french you have french assurance work :))))
Hi, what do you mean by 10% reducer? Is that thinners? On my paint can, the instructions use ratios rather than percentages... It says paint:thinner ratio must be 1:1.2 so that to me says 120% reducer... What am i doing wrong? Im getting terrible orange peel.. like even worse than your first example. Im just a beginner here. Need help please
Thanks for sharing your video.

Interesting Watch
I liked it so I liked it
Waiting on your next hope it is soon
You made my twenty-four hours
Dulce Maria Solis Thanks for watching :-)
Gunman great stuff. Question. Is the clearcoat orange peel look reduced if you sand the orange peel out of the basecoat first? If it helps, what grit would you recommend for finishing base coat sanding. Alternatively, would you just not bother with basecoat sanding?? Thanks again for the great vids
hello. I have a gun accuspray 1.4 and I have big problem always big orange peel very very bad. could you tell me about PSI and distance. I don't speak English I use translator but I need your help. thanks.
Hi Gunman are you sure it’s 5cm as that’s only 2 inches distance you are spraying from the panel. Should it not be 5 inches approx 13 cm from the panel. 2 inches just seems a bit close compared to what I’ve been getting taught.
It's a problem If I dilute clear coat with 40/100 and paint with100/100.If I not dilute the paint or clear coat not comes out of the gun.
What gun would you recommend for 2k primer and 2k base. Won't be needing to apply clear coat. Location UK so cooler/cold spraying temperatures
Awesome job and I appreciate the time that you put into your videos!
Hey buddy by reducer what kind? Are we talking xylene, or paint thinner from Walmart. I just was wondering bc there's a lot of different thinner and reducers and hell when I say thinner and reducer it's probably called the same but what kind what I'm wondering
I love a new color of Mercedes. It is called Blu Cavansite and it is similar to AUDI Blu Estoril. Why do these color are so brilliant and full of gloss? They look like a wet effect. Do they have a special formulation?
Hi,strikter great work done,but i had ed pleased you that you make a Video with 2k one stage paint wirh all exlaned.
I am going to thanksfully Wien you would do that.
Thanku in befor
WHEN YOU WORK ON OLD AND RUSTY CAR LIKE WE HAVE IN MONTREAL QUEBEC ,ORANGE PEEL IS VERY GOOD IN DAT CASE BECAUSE IT COVER LOTS INPERFECTION,GOOD LEARNING THANK U JUST GIVE ME BACK MEMORY SERVANT OF GOD RASTAFARI.
Gunman would the humidity effect gloss levels? Im in Melbourne and I find (using HS clear with a fast hardener) I loose gloss in the warmer months. But when its cooler weather it looks great. I need to use the fast hardener because we need to get the jobs out ASAP
I am a painter from the 80’s 90’s and have had horrible luck getting these HVLP guns to spray anything but orange peel
Gunman, what psi would you recommend spraying clearcoat with a Tekna hvlp clearcoat gun?
Just a simple observation...why in the world would you want to spray anything at less than 15 cm distance? If you do that you will be taking way too long to cover a vehicle and you will fatigue yourself in the process. It's only my opinion but if I had a gun that wouldn't spray better than at least an 8 inch wide swath at 15 cm from a panel I would fire it in the bin...or keep it to lend out to wannabe painters for garage jobs.
just spray as bad as you can with one condition, no runs, no build up
do 5 coats
and sand with 500 until 2000, wet at higher grit, you can even use 300 for first one if you manage to do a good job in creating very bad orange peel
visualize after each sand (after dry) the depth of orange peel and determine next grit strength
then buffer and polishing substance when there is no more orange peel
done
lot of hardwork but anyone can do it
here in EU we use alot of UHS clear coats and there is a problem with these kind of jobs when u need to get the right orange peel or i call it texture on the car. this is where the VOC is coming in as a problem for example when you over reduce a paint or clear coat its not legal paint any more because it goes over the VOC rating but who the hell cares anyway right? =) but its pretty easy when you understand how it sprays when you over reduce it then its easy to get the right texture. Warning all colors or clear coats don't work well with over reducing it can cause problems... good video btv!
Another nice video !. You doing awesome quality job! How much on average those shops pay you per day?
Learn to paint!!!! Or don't.....knowing how is a waste of time and sure way to put a target on your back. Just go ahead and be a good guy with a big mouth. That seems to work better than any practical ability or knowledge.
hello,sorry i don't understand english , someone can tell me how big is his nozzle ?
I have a question on a special item. I need to paint a 66 Mustang Dash. Using Single stage rat rod black (3:1) and going to mix 25% normal clear (4:1) for durability and to mimic the factory finish. I want it to be very flat so based on what you did in the video what do you recommend for NO orange peel? I would think 20% reduced (both) and 5cm but 20psi seems low...do you recommend that over say a 26 PSI ? THANK You
You talk to mush and fast. How about a close up when you mixing hardner in clear coat???? Why are you hurry?
subbed, I have learned a lot in just a couple videos, thank you.
Great video buddy.So good to see that comparison and appreciate the work and research involved in this video.Cheers
Thanks gunny I purchased turbine system hvlp having terrible oranage peel only with clear ill try this more methodical
That was excellent, really informative and well presented. Thanks for take a big chunk of time from your schedule to do such a great video, it's very much appreciated.
Thanks for the appreciation man
