I Have Been Doing Paint & Body Work For Over 50 Years. I Have Never Seen A Black Paint Job Buffed Out To A 3D Finish Like This Without Using High End Wax. Very Impressive.
I watched the raw channel's tech talk and was amazed. I learned alot about flat blocking and paint mil thickness. Its things I wish I wouldve known when I was first learning to prep and paint
Loving the video and the time difference. I wake up and get to watch a new Gunman video. I have to admit the finest grit I have is p3000 abralon then wack it with farecla premium
Hey Gunny I came up with the same conclusion with the Flex random orbital, I have the corded version and love it. But upon my first use, I was disappointed as I was getting the hazing effect, much like yourself. Moved over to my rotary, no probs just clean clear and no haze. found it was the product, not a fault just what its designed to work with. It seems some products need that heat generation to help clear the lubricants (which is what leaves that haze). Random orbitals produce very little heat so cant clear the lubricants. Moving to the correct pads and compounds designed to work with random orbitals is a must. But as we say you live and learn my friend. By the way love the corolla looks schmick!!!!
1950's the cars were polished as you were saying...I have been doing it since 1977 the biggest difference is the technology in the polishers... the cutting compounds are close to the same...wool pads are the same although it was tied to the backing plate in the 70's (no hook n loop)...I didn't see any foam pads until 1985 we had "glaze's" and swirl removers...wax technology is now improved/paint sealers were around in the 1980's and would last 2-3 months the wax 1 month....Im having fun, it is easier now by a long ways... very good video!
I just had a go with the farecla g3 compound and it was awesome 1 step compound. Cut back 2000 grit scratches and got it awesome with no swirls or hazing. Try it out
Woop woop gun man flat and buff I love flattering and buffing I’m the same ....if I burn though I’ll re paint the thing ...not burnt through in 12 years 😉
Looks bloody fantastic Gunny, the Quartz Black basecoat you used is one of the blackest out there, then you add the Quartz Crystal Clear and you can't go wrong, I've used both products but apparently the Multi-Mix Ultra Jet black is even blacker I have used it but personally I couldn't see any difference all the black panels on my IG channel is the Multi-Mix black, I hope you are doing ok mate as I think you should be in Melbourne today (Friday). John UK.
I always swear by the 3M Finesse-it and Perfect-it (Ultrafina is top notch) range of compounds and the good old classic Ferecla G3. Always done me well over the years.
What Pad Are You using On The Final Buffing Job With The Flex Orbital Polisher? A Rupes Ultrafine Polishing Pad?? What Polish Are You Using With The Black 3M Polishing Pad?? Awesome Finish Job. I Am Very Impressed With Your Skills.
Good to see you using a paint thickness guage. That is excellent practice. What is the make and model of the paint thickness guage and where do you get them from please?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using Ceramic Quartz Crystal Clear as opposed to a paint similar to DNA Diamond Clear over Soul Red Crystal Metallic 46V solvent base. Will the Ceramic Clear take more abuse for stone chips, sand blasting from road grime and are there any problems with refinishing the clear. Are Ceramic clears prone to sunburn peeling?
used lots of compounds and polishes the most flatting I do is to 3000 grit, then I go old school and use g3 paste there is not anything better for your first cut lots of water messy but nothing I've tried beats it, I then use menzerna 3 stage compounds for final cuts and polish and really happy with the results, I start off with a rotary, then 2nd stage go on to a da polisher, and I really do get a mirror finish, but like gunny says you need to have enough clear on to be confident to do that, I do top-end cars and they really do need finishing the way I do them I always put 3 coats of clear on if that's the finish I am aiming for, as gunny says you need to know how much clear is on before going to the extreme as a painter its no big deal if you buff through but for a detailer its a nightmare.
Great result there man. About the batteries, those are probably li-ion or li-poly, they don't leak just straight up go to exploding stage ;) Look up 'laptop battery exploding' here on yt. That's the same cells, they pack enormous amount of energy.
Hi mate with 3m polish do you struggle to remove the cutting compound do you have a special way of cleaning the residue it just leaves dots everywhere cheers jeep up the good work
Nice vid mate, you've got some of the best content on the web, keep it up! Do you think that the hardness of the clear coat had something to do with the level of material removed from multiple sanding and polishing stages? I'm really surprised that it was only 10 microns on average, I would have expected more, surely if you did that on the factory clear it would have removed more?
Hi I’m painting a set of wheels it’s not a colour change and I’ve got bare metal I’m going to spray etch primer over do I need to spray normal primer over that aswell?
Depends what you're doing, if you're trying to remove orange peel with 1,500 no, if you're just removing deeper scratches, say if you already blocked it with 1,200 or something then yes. 3000 already has a soft backing so that won't need it
Yep agreed. My sandpaper range has been replaced by mirka net discs. They have the advantage of never clogging when used with dust extraction, but they do require an interface pad as the discs destroy your hook and look. Can’t see me going back with 3m with their still excellent clean sanding discs, but until they change to a net type discs I can’t see me returning. I still used their trizact and I use 3m stick it rolls exclusively.
More liquid,harder pad finishing polish and the haze would be gone. Harder clears don't like soft pads on dual action machines beacuse of the orbit. The gloss on that thing is unreal.
Sir gunman u r my idol im from philippines hope u will see this coment i need a gun it will big help to my family pls kindly recognize my coment im a painter like u i need one of does gun that u have pls im begging my face book name is carlo b. Anaya tnx gunman

That black was by the way Really Nicely painted at the beginning

Anybody else like me from the uk who loves the gloss and then thinks 3 days a year it will look like that 362 days of grey, rain or sodding ice

Purchased this sanding block set after watching your other video. Its on its way to south africa can't wait to get it!
Woooow, love the end result, looks awesome👍

"Today we're going to get rid of the orange peel........."
*The Gunman's orange peel looks better than my sand buff and polish*

An old panel beater told me in the 90s to remove swirl marks you can use cornflour/corn starch as it doesnt scratch.
Hard to beat Flex polishers. Roof looks great.
I’ve been using ultrafina for years man it really does work so damn good for the final stage!
Awesome video and your car looks amazing

Wow! Amazing.
Great work as always.
How much sandpapers did you use?Trizacts and else?
Gunny you gotta try the Menzerna line of compounds and polishes. You'll love the heavy cut compound 400. Check their website out.
Good to see you using a paint thickness guage. That is excellent practice.
What is the make and model of the paint thickness guage and where do you get them from please?
FYI the 3M 8000 Grit Trizact 150mm Sanding Disc Part Number is 30806
I need my boss to get them

New 1 step system. No more compounding.

you should try a 5 HR battery it can handle more of a load and will not over heat I use it with my blower when gardening
Give brasso a go! Works well!

I guess that's a god point. I couldn't say if that's part of what did it but it's possible.
You don't need a wool pad anymore right???
can you do a video on how to put 3 coats of clear?
Nice
So you two-toned your Toyota. It is unique.
Gunnie, your cordless rotary seems to be spinning real slow? Because I use the same 3m pad and quick connect!
Yes, it has a top speed of 2,200 RPM.
New Subscriber, you did an awesome job!! :-)
Easier to sand using a DA. Start with 1200 then 3000 then 6000. That's all you need. Then polish, 2 or 3 stage.
Hi
I’m painting a set of wheels it’s not a colour change and I’ve got bare metal I’m going to spray etch primer over do I need to spray normal primer over that aswell?
It is recommended, some people skip it, but for what it's worth you probably should.
@@TheGunmanChannel
Cool I thought I should but wanted a professional opinion thanks for the reply 👍🏼😄
Wooooop!
Great work try this compound if u have it in Australia MENZERNA - SUPER HEAVY CUT 300 the new formula green .
I highly rate this compound but 3m extreme cut is better.
Beautifull is very good
I like going to 2500 then use CSI cream to knock it out!
Where do I find that clear
Anybody... Do I use interface pad for the 1500 and 3000?
Depends what you're doing, if you're trying to remove orange peel with 1,500 no, if you're just removing deeper scratches, say if you already blocked it with 1,200 or something then yes. 3000 already has a soft backing so that won't need it
Door handles black next mate ?
It doesn't suit the car mate, I tried it in Photoshop and it looked pox.
Gunman, that is NOT just a Corolla....
Just use 8ah batteries no more overheating
those corollas looks better with black roof
You just don’t get better than tolecut nibbing pads 3m compound soft mop and trizax
