Watching you makes me regret giving up on a life doing panel beating and spraying. But 30 years ago my manager was the tightest wanker known to living man and I just couldn't go on working for a tosser who saw no value in the work I was doing. My loss! Keep inspiring people Mr Gunny. Cheers, Bob
Always grateful for the vids dude now more than ever! My whole shop just burnt down to nothing and i just lost everything. Guns melted and booth disappeared none of it being my fault, some dodgy foreign guys syphoning fuel over an extension in the bit next to me destroyed the entire 100m long building. Your vids really help keep me loving painting and help motivate me to keep going with starting the new shop so thank you:) all the best dude
I came back to this video to thank you. I had this exact job today and your masking technique saved me so much time and was better than using both paper and plastic. Cheers, mate.
to turn off the trunk light in most cars, use a screw driver in the latch and it will go out. just remember to hit the trunk button before you close it again.
Hey Gunman! Im an automotive painter myself, started bout 2 years ago and truthfully, the problem i face the most is on blends. I’m basically a vendor and offer my job outside which already makes it hard with all the trash and the air. Okay, but the thing is, the dealership decides weather we do a blend or a full bumper and I personally do not like doing blends because Im still not so great at taking them out & I have never actually been taught how to do so. Could you make a video on how your personal take a blend out after it has been dried. Thank you! Big fan of yours
You are absolutely amazing to watch brings a smile to my face you could do a whole segment and learning just stand taping off cars thank you very much for the videos I really enjoy them Lonnie from Michigan USA
I really enjoy these kind of videos. I love the fact that you talk while you work. Idc, if it has to do with the job or not. You’re just a cool guy and I enjoy what you have to say! Keep it up gunny! :D
Thanks for the great videos, I just repainted my 88 vw cab and your tips and videos were super helpful especially the gun reviews. I bought a gti pro for the job and even as an amateur it was way better than the iwata gun I had been using before.
Hi your vids are amazing quick question I have a UPOL- MAXIMUM HVLP spray gun runs at 2 bar at the cap what sort of size compressor would I need to paint say half a car then let it recharge to do the other half I’ve been going round and round in circles on the net looking for one and all day different things
Hey gunny, what do you call the full body film that you put on your cars in the video then cut around for the panels you are wanting to paint? I cant find the name of it on my local supplier ;/ TIA from NZ!
Hey gunman I'd like to ask a question I have a mazda cx5 I'm told the colour is translucent I was given the colour and the undercoat which is called charcoal do I need to add hardener to this or just thinners thanks Anthony
Hey gunman, love your videos. Got a question for ya. I’ve got a small 2mm sized chip on my bonnet. The paint is a red-blue pearlescent paint 3L2(Super Red) with blue and gold flakes/pearls mixed in... Is it possible to colour match the paint and do you think I can fix it without having to repaint the whole bonnet???😭😭😭
Hi Gunman thank you once more for your amazing video's. I was starting to missing your video's but now you are back with another amazing video. Thank you Gunman and keep going with your amazing work 👍👍
I'm new to your channel Gunman and I've been a watching a ton of your vids so I can get ready to do some spot repairs on my car myself. Awesome videos man! I do have some concerns that I still haven't been able to understand like should I always use filler when I go down to the bare metal or just primer? Also, I want to get an air brush because I really don't want to end up spraying big areas when i'm working on little spot repairs; so do you think a mini spray gun will work fine like an Iwata model? I know this might seem like annoying questions but I really want to paint some shit and i'm barely just starting out. Thanks!!
Thanks great video mate. Can you help. Iam here in Queensland and wanting to start up a home based pint touch up biz. Can you tell me the best small system to buy. I need a coder to or app to match the paints. Cheers again thanks...
@@TheGunmanChannel So no additives in the paint, no adhesion promoter, plastic primer, bulldog. Nothing? Just straight prime and paint? same as doing a metal fender?
I couldn't work like that. I would have to remove the bumper and mount it on the panel stand. Doing it on the car means you have to mask twice, once for primer and then again for the top coats. I do understand that you are working under instructions and I am working for myself but I think doing these types of jobs on the car is false economy. Having said that I have watched many of your videos and I cannot deny you are an excellent painter. Would I be right in thinking that if you were working for yourself that bumper would have been unbolted from the car?
False economy?? A piece of plastic to cover the car 1 time might cost $1. The box is $20 and its good for about 25 jobs. Even if you use a full roll of tape to mask a car once, that's about $5. Find a single part for a BMW that costs $6 or less should you accidentally break a single clip. Not to mention the time saved. To remove a bumper for an experienced tradesman takes about 10 minutes realistically. And an experience tradesman earns roughly $60 an hour. So that 10 min equates to $10. Almost double the cost of the tape and masking plastic. Furthermore, car yard jobs DONT want to pay. That's the answer.
The Gunman thanks friend😉for the besecoat water you spray ever at 1,5? I used sata but thanks to you I converted to devilbiss and it’s the top!! Whit Sata I applicated basecoat at 2,0 bar whit devilbiss 1,5
Hi the gunman. Im running a crash shop in Adelaide and Ive been watching your videos to pick up my painting skills. Could you reconmend a good paint system but affordable? Im using cromax system which is dupont from SA Color at the moment but I just found the paint cost so much. Any ideas？
That's a hard one, you want solvent or water? I find in busy shops you can't afford to use cheap paints, you'll waste way too much time colour matching and it will be a false economy to get cheap paint.
The Gunman the cromax system im using is a solvent based and comes with a spectrum to match the color. to be honest im happy with the system except the price. My next door is an italian guy who runs a body shop as well and his paint system is called "debeer". I tried a couple of base coat on my job and it looks OK but the price is only 60%-65% comparing to my cromax.
I've never used debeer in a shop before but I've heard that for the price it's good, for me it really comes down to colour matching, quiz him on what it's like for colours, if you paint 3-5 jobs a day and spend half the day matching colours because the system is crap then you'll lose the money you save on paint to loss of productivity.
Just adding a few new HDDs this time, I initially built it in 2010, I've since upgraded ram, vid card Radeon R9 270 and a few other minor things but it still plays new games smoothly. Water-cooled Intel i7 processor at 3.4ghz still solid build. I tried upgrading to windows 10 but had nothing but problems with it, win 7 is so much more stable.
Stay with windows 7 for as long as you can. Windows 8 was a joke, and I REALLY am not happy with windows 10. I sort of got forced into it for gaming, but my laptop and second tower still run Windows 7 with no issues. All the videos must eat up a lot of harddrive space.
dropinbiking92 yeah man, all my old videos are backed up on HDDs, I've got loads of them but they aren't that expensive and they keep getting cheaper, my latest one was a 4tb and it was only $218 a few years ago they were around $500 from memory
Damn looks like car yards over there are the same as over here. Minimal money, minimal time, minimal effort. Have you seen some crazy car yard repairs on brand new (year or two old) vehicles? I've seen some dodgy shit hahaha
Yep, it's unfortunate but it is what it is. At least if I do it I know it's at least been spot repaired properly, sure best off painting whole panels but the car yards don't want to pay.
I get what you're saying. The last shop I was at started taking on some of these spot up jobs for local dealers. We started charging less, not really to make any money off the jobs, but to keep the backyarders away from them. I'd rather blend a bar than strip it and paint it full 3 months after a back yarder does.
Watching you makes me regret giving up on a life doing panel beating and spraying. But 30 years ago my manager was the tightest wanker known to living man and I just couldn't go on working for a tosser who saw no value in the work I was doing. My loss! Keep inspiring people Mr Gunny. Cheers, Bob

That boot light should turn itself off after a few minutes. I like the knife thing. Great job!

Haha thanks man 👊
I would love if you're posting up videos man. Never a dull moment here. Go gunny. And thanks for all the amazing videos man
Thanks for the great videos, I just repainted my 88 vw cab and your tips and videos were super helpful especially the gun reviews. I bought a gti pro for the job and even as an amateur it was way better than the iwata gun I had been using before.
When doing a new panel to fit on a car, fenders and such, what do you do on inner side? also what width masking sheet do you prefer?
Hello Gunny. @ 12:18 what are you doing to the tape as you pull it over your leg?
Hi your vids are amazing quick question I have a UPOL- MAXIMUM HVLP spray gun runs at 2 bar at the cap what sort of size compressor would I need to paint say half a car then let it recharge to do the other half I’ve been going round and round in circles on the net looking for one and all day different things

Hey gunman I'd like to ask a question I have a mazda cx5 I'm told the colour is translucent I was given the colour and the undercoat which is called charcoal do I need to add hardener to this or just thinners thanks Anthony
a question please:
The paint that is sprayed after the filler stage, the so-called? And sold in a store ready for use? Or what.
Its weird but i enjoy watching you tape more then painting lol
Awesome. Learning a lot from your videos. Jomic from NSW 2 thumps up mate
Hey gunman, love your videos. Got a question for ya. I’ve got a small 2mm sized chip on my bonnet.

Hi Gunman thank you once more for your amazing video's.
I was starting to missing your video's but now you are back with another amazing video.
Thank you Gunman and keep going with your amazing work 👍👍
Thanks again man, I've got another spray gun review ready for next week 😉
Thanks Gunman I'm sure I go to enjoy watching another video from you 😃😃

Hi Gunman, what you spray before spray paint?
Tidy stuff boss ✌
Just got my verification tick ✔✔✔😀
Nice! About time
Love watching your vids pal motivates me to paint some shit!
Question if I heat up high solids clear can I leave the reducer out will it be thin enough to spray
Thanks great video mate. Can you help. Iam here in Queensland and wanting to start up a home based pint touch up biz. Can you tell me the best small system to buy. I need a coder to or app to match the paints. Cheers again thanks...
Great vid as always gunman, Missed ya!
What is a good bottled I can use for cleaner?
What was in the very first gun you used?
Hey gun I like the raw videos just as much as the other channel keep up the awesome work..
A good trick to turn off boot lights is to lock the latch with a screw driver so that the car thinks it's closed
Good idea, it ended up turning off automatically.
No mention of bonding/flex additives to keep the paint from cracking and peeling the first time someone taps it?
It's not necessary on 99% of bumpers so why should I mention it? This is the manufacturers recommend procedure.
@@TheGunmanChannel The first time someone taps that bumper, the paint is going to split at the primer and peel.
@@Kewrock doubt it buddy.
@@TheGunmanChannel So no additives in the paint, no adhesion promoter, plastic primer, bulldog. Nothing? Just straight prime and paint? same as doing a metal fender?
I like your work Gunman 👍👍👍👍👏👏🔝
What was in the first spray gun you used.¿
Magical Lyrics Base coat.
Future reference Latch the lock on boot or door (lights out)
What is a legit website to buy gti pro light in us and what's a good cap for basecaot and clear
What was the first coat applied with the vigilante gun?
Probably Cromax 222S
like always awesome job
?but i have Q how i can avoid the dust
the cabine is new car is cleaned good masked good and still i get dust
I'd like to see something on matching existing factory orange peel...
I couldn't work like that. I would have to remove the bumper and mount it on the panel stand. Doing it on the car means you have to mask twice, once for primer and then again for the top coats.

Hi gunman. May i know What was that you spray first (yellow gun). Thanks
Probably referring to the Cromax 222S
Hi brother.. I have hv25 and te 10,which you prefer for the clearcoat? Thank a lot!!!
mirko raccosta I'd prefer the TE10 for clear. I'm currently using the HV25 for basecoat and totally love the way it sprays.
The Gunman thanks friend😉for the besecoat water you spray ever at 1,5? I used sata but thanks to you I converted to devilbiss and it’s the top!! Whit Sata I applicated basecoat at 2,0 bar whit devilbiss 1,5
When I was using water I actually preferred the TE10 out of all the DeVilbiss air caps
The Gunman 1,5 pressure? Thanks brother
When I was using Cromax pro I sprayed it at 2bar but if it sprays well at 1.5 then go for it.

The Gunman cool thanks ill contact debeer and do more comparison to cromax
Dude you make that look so easy
الأمكانيات + الخبرة =
عمل رائع.
Was that blend in clear “ you used after you had sprayed clear ??/
Fade out thinners
I bought some Berger spot repair thinner ! I guess that’s the same ??
I thought they did house paint
The Gunman silly me I meant de beer , DOH
Oh, in that case it should be the same stuff although I must admit I don't know the product specifically, I haven't used much debeer
Hello Gunman , your videos are very short, watching everyone here in Brazil. You are very good professional !!
very good and not short, sorry !!
King
Those boot lights go out after a while, at least mine does on my e46?
Yeah that's exactly what happened on this one
How can I email or message you, i got a few questions to ask
Your PC is looking a bit naked Haha good video man!
Yeah man, it's been getting some upgrades lately so open her up for easy access. My computer is gender binary 😂😂
Ooo what kind of upgrades? It must be a pretty decent rig to do editing and render video.
Just adding a few new HDDs this time, I initially built it in 2010, I've since upgraded ram, vid card Radeon R9 270 and a few other minor things but it still plays new games smoothly.

Yeeee boiiii
I subbed to your other channel, wish I would’ve known about it sooner
👍👍nice
