Just took back a car from a professional shop simply because of issues with complete disregard for my car. Hood was worse underneath than the one you are showing your work on. It amazes me how some people call them selves pros. Doing it my self and using some of the skills you show off. Great tutorials keep these going I greatly appreciate you sharing.
Hey Gunman, I am a real amateur and I have an old HK Holden which was my first car in 1980. I still have it and in the process of restoring. Love your videos and have learnt so much from you. love it. There is nothing better than getting the clear on to see the final result. Thanks for all your help. Regards Trev
your vids are awesome the reason why your the man to view is you dont BS and im sure others such as myself have learned from you and have definatly improved our skills i know mine have. I started as a diy then i painted a few race cars my last job i painted my car in the shop and then they had me doing body repairs. now im trying to do scratch and dent repairs as the company went belly up and the price of oil dropped so jobs arent readily available so ill give this ago. my body work needs work but my painting has improved 150 % and getting better.I know this is long but maybe others will share what you have done to help them as well. KEEP IT UP Your awesome Thank you. freemantle media call yet ?? lol
I’ve learnt a lot from watching your videos. I’m getting ready to paint my one tonner. I’m working to a super low budget. Hopefully it goes ok. Thanks for your tips. 👍
Nice Work brother, I'm almost at the painting stage of my HQ Coupe at the moment, and after all the bodywork and prep I have a totally higher level respect for you guys!
throw the 125 s hardner in the bin use ak 260 slow and make sure to use xb 383 slow reducer for the basecoat make sure to put the basecoat on in a 1 and a half coat application as data sheet .(high solids basecoat). 696 is not the best clear but easy to use and must go over a really smooth base other wise it can pinch a little
some one sabatage you, it will get back to him, your excellent work is amazingly great mate, those who dig a hole for his brother will fall into it himself, bless you and your work,
Jesus thats good work again, I find there is very fine line between smashing the clear on and getting runs, any hints? Don't worry about the frog mate, I have been to his site and reciprocated, an eye for an eye I reckon.
taylormkct Yes it is a fine line best hints is have the pressure nice and high, not too much fluid, hold the gun close for a fine atomisation and "Smash it on" :-)
That fellow back again ?? awesome videos i noticed 3 thumbs down 2 must have been from the other 2 fellas that worked on the car before you got your hands on it. jealous they are of the master lol
Awesome as always..now tell us please do you ever have any problem when you flip the door on the panel stand...putting dents into your perfectly blocked side? I am just about to build some panel stands...so any design advice welcome !
Any chance you could do a video on spaying up parking sensors on a bumper is there a different approach that you need to do to get it to look the job. Stephen
You can either take the parking sensors out, when you take the bumper off they are normally clicked in pretty easy wouldn't recommend masking them as they always have like a rupper seal on them hope this helps
Great video again couple of things firstly your videos are a massive improvement now than when you first started so the time you spend editing them is paying off (just my opinion ) secondly I notice on nearly every bonnet you paint you paper round the edges. Do you find you get less dust in the job or is it something you have grew up doing. Once again great video look forward to your next.
GORILLA_tactics They have ones with glass instead of perspex like this one, mine is glass and I recommend the glass one as it will last a lot longer www.ebay.com.au/itm/Sundstrom-SR200-Full-Mask-/151356736118?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item233d908276
Question on this restoration. You are priming blocking spot priming then paint. I'm following your lead on my restore project. But I've been reading on on reducing out the epoxy primer spraying over your block work then paint after flashing. Is this way just more use of material?
WasThat Colour a Straight Black ??.. as It seems to have a Violet sheen to It , Any tips on using Amyistest Dream Pearl (black) and I have enjoyed Your Vids and Have Just started a Holden HX Ute So watching You Doing The HQ has Help Get My Head around It Thanks ..
how do you deal with the edges and overspray onto the front side of the panels? when you flip it over to do the front, do you tape off with a soft edge from the bottom or just not worry about it too much ?
What brand of epoxy primer would you recommend? Ive sanded down to metal with a 80 grit but not sure what epoxy to go with ? Thought id ask somebody with much more experience?
sorry to do this i know my comments are long. I have a 84 Fiero and i have spider webbing on alot of it whats the best way of repairing them im sure you have done a few fiberglass / composit cars in the past.
Hey gunman, I'm going to be painting my Falcon project car in the coming months as I'm almost finished the panel beating on it and was wondering what your thought would be for the best BC/Clear options. I've only used PPG Cobra and some older du pont which was nice but I want a top of the line clear. I've been looking at Spies Hecker and glasurit which everyone highly recommends. We use water base glasurit where I'm doing my apprenticeship but only have the cheaper panel clears so I haven't had the chance to see their better quality clear coats in person yet.
ForcedFalcon Man the Glasurit clears are the best on the market, the 255 hs is mad but takes a bit of getting used to, the 109 is just as good and because its a bit thinner its easier to use.
The Gunman Sweet thanks for that. I'll have a talk to the Glasurit rep when he comes in next and see if i can get my hands on some to try out before I attempt to spray my whole car haha.
Man, I have just started using some DNA paints and their hs clears are f*&kn awesome, give them a shot and the prices are much better than Glasurit too, so maybe use Glas base and DNA clear.
I was looking into DNA paints while ago after seeing one of their videos about custom painting and found a NZ store which is the only seller here but want $500 for 4L of diamond clear. Their products do look amasing though, I really want to try their mutant crystals and some candys if they aren't too expensive.

Jayden Isem I'll brainstorm this week and see if I can put one together in the next few months.
throw the 125 s hardner in the bin use ak 260 slow and make sure to use xb 383 slow reducer for the basecoat make sure to put the basecoat on in a 1 and a half coat application as data sheet .(high solids basecoat). 696 is not the best clear but easy to use and must go over a really smooth base other wise it can pinch a little
phil mcrevis I hate slow hardener and I won't be using that clear anymore not after the most recent job its too hard to polish and keeps coming back.
some one sabatage you, it will get back to him, your excellent work is amazingly great mate, those who dig a hole for his brother will fall into it himself, bless you and your work,
yes mate they are well made and are perfect copies of devilbiss and sata .I have used them with excellent results.
Awesome job gunman!

marusx Thanks mate, I'm glad to hear.

you are the man bro keep it up awesome stuff im learning loads from your videos. you should be a tafe teacher
great job mate. if you get time search for italco spray guns and look at the copies they are producing.
Stuart Smalley Are they any good?
another top job buddy. you make it look so easy. and from my experience I know it isn't lol.
Jesus thats good work again, I find there is very fine line between smashing the clear on and getting runs,
any hints?
Don't worry about the frog mate, I have been to his site and reciprocated, an eye for an eye I reckon.
taylormkct Yes it is a fine line best hints is have the pressure nice and high, not too much fluid, hold the gun close for a fine atomisation and "Smash it on" :-)
great videos
Dont wory about those haters maybe they have some kind of menta problems. You are doing great job. Many Thanks :)
Martyna .Sokołowska Haters = Motivators :-)
Nice video as always. How can I get my body lines back in?
That fellow back again ?? awesome videos i noticed 3 thumbs down 2 must have been from the other 2 fellas that worked on the car before you got your hands on it. jealous they are of the master lol
Dana Wick lol :-)
Awesome as always..now tell us please do you ever have any problem when you flip the door on the panel stand...putting dents into your perfectly blocked side? I am just about to build some panel stands...so any design advice welcome !
Any chance you could do a video on spaying up parking sensors on a bumper is there a different approach that you need to do to get it to look the job.
Stephen
You can either take the parking sensors out, when you take the bumper off they are normally clicked in pretty easy wouldn't recommend masking them as they always have like a rupper seal on them hope this helps
nice vid,thanks for sharing your knowledge.your a bad dude!
Great video again couple of things firstly your videos are a massive improvement now than when you first started so the time you spend editing them is paying off (just my opinion ) secondly I notice on nearly every bonnet you paint you paper round the edges. Do you find you get less dust in the job or is it something you have grew up doing. Once again great video look forward to your next.
Awesome videos. How do you get an even spray coat through stiffening brace holes like in the bonnet and boot of the HQ?
Scott Vermeulen Gun controll
where can I get a full face respirator like the one your using?
thanks gunman love the dope vids!
GORILLA_tactics They have ones with glass instead of perspex like this one, mine is glass and I recommend the glass one as it will last a lot longer www.ebay.com.au/itm/Sundstrom-SR200-Full-Mask-/151356736118?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item233d908276

Hey man good job ! I want to know more about replicating the clear to check for highs and lows on the primer?
WasThat Colour a Straight Black ??.. as It seems to have a Violet sheen to It , Any tips on using Amyistest Dream Pearl (black) and I have enjoyed Your Vids and Have Just started a Holden HX Ute So watching You Doing The HQ has Help Get My Head around It Thanks ..
hehe gunny, good job, you should have give this vid a code name of "just bury it" hehe
Silly question probably, but how long did you have to wait before flipping the bonnet?
how do you deal with the edges and overspray onto the front side of the panels?
when you flip it over to do the front, do you tape off with a soft edge from the bottom or just not worry about it too much ?
Geniee That will be in the coming videos but yes I back mask then use a sheet of paper to stop overspray.
What brand of epoxy primer would you recommend? Ive sanded down to metal with a 80 grit but not sure what epoxy to go with ? Thought id ask somebody with much more experience?
sorry to do this i know my comments are long. I have a 84 Fiero and i have spider webbing on alot of it whats the best way of repairing them im sure you have done a few fiberglass / composit cars in the past.
Dana Wick Check this one, it includes fiberglass repairs ua-cam.com/video/fMLvVBmRjYU/v-deo.html&lc=z13we1ghrliyfz1pe04cdbjwznmohzdzi4o
Any way you can show how you mask the hood to spray the top side after you have jammed it
BURNEY Will do mate

The only one dislike I guess is from the guy who painted it originally
JIAQIN TAN Haha, yeah most likely :-)
