Stumbled upon one of your videos a few days ago, been hooked since!! Your passion, genuine enthusiasm and the mentoring of the apprentice is second to none. I hope your employer appreciates you!!
The only thing I have to say is for a beginner not bad..on the end of your paint strokes of painting try not to flip the spraygun tip out keep it parallel to the surface of the car an slightly pull away from surface!! Good job
i finish my pannel beating and spray painting but i did not do my apprentice because whenni go for a trial ibtbought it will be like hands on on helping to do some prep but those 3 shops that i went for trial wants me to just wash car mop the floor clean their mess like how can i learn more if they want me to do that for 2years or more and i heard its only actually the last year that they will let you do the prep or just sanding so whatbi did is i practice by my self and untill now im painting some peoples car if they are happy they pay me but if not thanx you i am still learning but i like it when i encounter mistakes because i know what to do on nxt time hut i am still learning and i am learning from this gun man.thank you for your videos..
Awesome seeing the sticker on the wall. Not sure if you remember me commenting couple months back, I got the apprenticeship I wanted have been working and learning for a month and it has been awesome. Thanks again for your videos for inspiration
Hey I’ve been doing great, body a little beated up but I’m determined to stick around. Still trying to perfect my soft edge 😅 but other than that loving it. I’m working under Danny and he told me he knows you. Small world 😄
Just a tip tell him to bend his knees more rather than his back, not that its going to change his painting but if starting a career in painting and gets used to bend his back all the time he will pay for it in later life. Call it a healthy tip ... hes young a fit now ... another great video. I just love em ... best on youtube in my opinion, you always leave nothing to chance and very explanatory narration.
G'day Gunny. He'll go a long way I reckon, looks like he enjoys it and gets a lot of satisfaction out of a job well done. Speaking of satisfaction, you can tell you're having a ball showing him all the tricks and tips Good on you mate
I’m a cabinet and furniture sprayer. Going to be getting a hvlp gun (Ive only used hvlp spray systems and airless air assisted before) and painting my x3 pretty soon. Should be fun. Thanks for the informative content bro. Cheers from Canada.
that is sort of like using intercoat clear on your panel your blending into so you dont get the sanding scratches mottle. just a base clear that fills the scratches so you dont see them when you blend over them.
Brilliant teacher. Makes me wish i had a boss like you mate. Loving the videos only just found your channel but you have a new subscriber aftet watching this one 🤙
Presume that's solvent base paint there Gunny . Touch wood I've never really had any blending issues with silvers using water bourne paints ,just drop coat with a drop 💧 of the dedicated system blender mixed in with the colour and spray .Your a good teacher Gunny
Yep, solvent but it's funny because I scrolled down reading other comments and 3 down was someone saying how he's using PPG Envirobase and it's terrible, he said he had a prick of a day because it's humid, poor coverage, mottle etc.
With the exception of a few union jobs there is a lacking of apprenticeships in America. You seem to be a real good teacher and put out the right amount of information then let the apprentice go at it with his own hand. Good job.
Great job ! Alan is moving like a Pro now ! Gunman you are the greatest instructor ! I'm getting better results than I ever dreamed of , just by watching your vids for a few years ! Thanks and Cheers !!! 👍
Great job and good learning video. I love these videos. Did you put down a coat of color then 599 and then more color on the blend area? That is what I thought but I an not sure.
The Gunman, do you think that, in the future, it will ever be possible to avoid blending the paint in the adjacent panels? Do you think that this is already possible using the Glasurit Ratio Scan 12/6?
Hi Gunny, Can you help please . Iam starting a touch up bumper biz here in Brisbane. Iam wanting to buy 2 mini guns....for the touch ups. Should i bu,y 2 Graco Finex mini s, m ( HVLP ) one for base and one for clear, or buy 2 Ani R 150 s. I dont think the ANI s are HVLP s? They are both the same prices from Spray guns Direct... Thanks for you suggestions...Keep up the good work
How would you go about sorting out stone chips that have gone through to bare metal before a respray? flat them out and primer to build up again, or use filler? Short vid would help heaps
Well done to the apprentice. Great mentor means great apprentice =) would love for you to teach me to paint, I can strip fit panel beat prep and a little paint just not confident enough =( I suppose comes with practice??
Can you spray gunmetal grey metallic in parts? Like doors,hood, bed, cab, fenders separate? I’m limited to space and it is my Dodge Ram. Or is it recommended to spray it all at once like candy?
You definitely can spray parts off the car, I've actually sprayed a candy colour with panels off, it can be done but if you're not careful you may see a colour difference. Gun settings, application thickness, pressure and even spraying temperature can slightly change the colour so keep that in mind.
What PSI do you spray your drop coat/control coat, that you told him about around the 8:40 mark? I have to do a small repair on a door, Mercedes silver solvent base. Thanks
@@TheGunmanChannel Appreciate the reply, and i hope that the area you're in is safe! Its a tragedy seeing all the wildfires you guys are suffering from in Australia. Cheers from Canada
@@TheGunmanChannel Thanks heaps, I have a silver blend I need to do. I'm assuming paint shop will know ? or do I need to be more specific about brand etc ?
Hi Gunny I was wondering if a 2K clear could also be used as a basecoat-blender? I asked my paint supplier as I was searching for a similar 1k blender but he said that a basecoat-blender could only be used with waterbased paints, a paintsystem witch he doesn't supply... So I'm afraid that I need to find an alternative for the conventional paintsystems. What do you think? Grtz Frank
Junkers Yes, definitely. A nice spray gun and proper technique and it's not a problem often at all. It will put the panel prep to the test, revealing fine sand scratches and coaxing foul language.
Why don't you just scotch the whole 1/4 off instead of having a blend?it's pretty pointless in my eyes cos you now have to polish instead of paint and out the door.
I love seeing an apprentice blossoming into a painter, good painters are hard to find these days, keep it up gunny and great work Alan!!!
great teacher equals great apprentice well done to both of you

love your work mate but why not clear the full cant rail, blends break down over time.
Good teacher you guys awsome
How far up the post on the quarter panel did you do your blend?
Any idea why sometimes my tack tag leaves sticky residue? I'm using Gerson ultra prep water based tack rags.
Honestly mate, I hate those Gerson tack rags, get a different brand. Mirka and Colad have some of the best I've used
How would you go about sorting out stone chips that have gone through to bare metal before a respray? flat them out and primer to build up again, or use filler? Short vid would help heaps
Dinxsy I would sand them out and reprime if that’s not a option just fill them but it will prolly bubble out at some point in the future
Well done to the apprentice. Great mentor means great apprentice =) would love for you to teach me to paint, I can strip fit panel beat prep and a little paint just not confident enough =( I suppose comes with practice??
very good master i guess
Good job 👍
Mate are you guys using waterbase paint in that job?
You guys apply seam sealer? Do you guys prime and block as well?
Can you spray gunmetal grey metallic in parts? Like doors,hood, bed, cab, fenders separate? I’m limited to space and it is my Dodge Ram. Or is it recommended to spray it all at once like candy?

back in the early days clear was used as a blender.
good teacher.. if i were your apprentice.. sad
Is silver a difficult colour to spray?
Junkers worse colour to do...
