Audi A4 Spray Painting

[@dovetailup8916]

You done me in Gunny---I'm in retirement, got bored and stumbled on your videos one night and got a paint fever again after 40 years. All of your recommendations have been spot on. I am now a happy camper,painting anything I can get my hands on... Cost me a small fortune but worth every penny.... Cheers and keep up the great work.

[@david57207]

Your the only you-tuber I stop whatever it is I'm doing to watch a new video when uploaded. great video as always buddy, thanks a lot

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+david mchale well that's a big compliment, thanks a lot mate.

[@deniseharriman1193]

Been painting for over 35 yrs. and have painted thousands of cars.Worked at a chevy dealership when G.M. had the paint recalls.Have never had a run.I don't get runs.I get flow indicators.Seriusly though always used devilbuss and always had good luck with them.We also used sikens paint and loved it.It had the best color matches and working at a dealership had to have perfect matches.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Denise Harriman lol, at first I was thinking this guy is full of shit saying never had a run in 35 years.

[@escort402]

lovely finish bud

[@jameslorows6357]

Perfect no stress good time narrative. Loved it lookin forward to more

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Thanks mate, comments like that help motivate me to make more.

[@jameslorows6357]

The awesome thing is I'm relatively new to this and I've been able to show old dogs new trick in the industry. When they hate on my ideas I have proof to show them they work. And when they try it and see they're amazed. I owe you a handshake and a brew for making me look like a genius

[@samc5315]

James Lorows you are a genius!!!

[@samc5315]

James Lorows likewise!!!!

[@stevejanka361]

Great to see you Gunny. Beautiful work. I like the tip on using the adhesion promoter as a sealer. Really lets the basecoat lay flat. Thanks again, always good advice.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Steve Janka thanks Steve 👊

[@ushman711]

GunMan. I love your work dude. I've Leaned a lot over the year looking at your work. I have a project to setup my shop this year.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+J [Biker KRUD] Good luck mate

[@mlpnac13]

I enjoy your spraying technique and application of auto finishes. How do you eliminate tape lines from clear coat on the upper rail when you remove masking?

[@cordellmckie8859]

you are the king of spray painting

[@frootloose8584]

Another nice even shiny job, perfect

[@MrSmartass89]

You're the best, Gunman! Your videos are so relaxing to watch, very cool.

[@retrorestore]

Nice gun finish and great commentary bud.

[@creativesymon]

Nice to have you back :) Thought that PiP would be really distracting but I've ended up preferring it :D So...MORE, MORE!

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback.

[@N30YRD]

makes me miss my old job, and difficult to get another... I'm now a bus driver, gun control is awesome, makes me want to get back into it and paint my mondeo st and remove the rust and scratches

[@ginge625]

Awesome channel man! Love watching you prep work vids. Clear and to the point. Keep it up bud ✌

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+ginge625 thanks mate 👊

[@jesusalvarezsayula1784]

hopefully I'm able to paint like that one day! awesome stuff 😎

[@SaqibKhaliq]

Great work, and commentary. I miss that feeling when you just laid down the clear flat like glass.. a proper high 😊

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Saqib Khaliq gotta love the smell of fresh paint in the morning 😂

[@shaz2878]

Great Job GUNNY! Any tips on the devilbiss starting line gun? I have "tee-d" two compressors together, according to the compressor's information regarding CFM and I should have a combined CFM to be at around 9.9.... I have two Iwatas W-400; a W-400-132G with a 1.3 tip and a W-400-142G with a 1.4 tip.... both require exactly 9.9 CFM at 40 psi. Am I cutting it a little too close guys? I have mimicked painting a broad side, (but I need to start the job at about 2.75 bars so that when the psi dips, its is maintained at the recommended 2 bars (when the compressors kicks in).....Can I get away with starting at 2.75 bars?

[@KFZCinar]

Dude as always awesome video mate. As a apprentice myself I like to watch and learn your spraying techniques, that really helps me out, please keep making videos you're awesome

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Thanks mate it's appreciated

[@mydogzty]

good on you for uploading a video just to update the people following you. Im looking for work again, a bit over warehouse duties with car parts. There are jobs for detailers and paint preppers, any idea what money that could eb paying? I ahve a little over a year into a spray painting apprenticeship which is handy. I do miss learning it.

[@taylormkct]

One of your videos is worth 4 of anybody else's anyway, so take as long as you like between them gunny, you have made enough content with all your videos to deserve a rest for a while, put your feet up for a while and recharge. Remember the saying less is more.

[@eldurooutlaws7257]

you are a master guni.always see your videos from Puerto Rico

[@aajules]

hey gunman, nice quick vid.... a question if i may.... the vw/audi group basic colours i.e the flat blacks, whites and reds look like they have the worst orange peel finish straight from the factory..... how do you deal with that when doing a repair as obviously yr as a painter yr trying to get the best finish poss, but its not inkeeping with the rest of the car..... my daughter has a new basic black polo and personally i'd like to block and mop it all over to improve the finish as they really are that bad

[@tttom9774]

Another awesome video Gunman, recently brought a project lupo which i want to respray before dropping a 1.8T in it so have been watching all your videos, trying to get as much info on what i need to do. I have a couple of quick questions if you dont mind. I will be colour changing from black to grey, as far as door/boot/bonnet jams do i spray them, clear coat then do the outside of the car or do i just spray them grey, spray the outside then clear coat it all to stop any lines? Also, can i get away with smoothing the original paint off with 400 grit and only priming damaged areas or should i just prime the whole car? Thankyou mate, videos are awesome and we all appreciate them!

[@AllBlast]

awesome as per usual sir 👍 have you had any issues with the fluid seal on your ani r150 mine seems to keep winding itself down the nozzle thread then I have to use players to grip it enough to wind it back on!! I noticed it the second time using it when I had air purging threw the nozzle thanks gunny

[@ioancea9607]

Its 1am here in brissy and I have to be up at 6am but I cant stop watching these vids, gunny please let me sleep

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+IOancea haha

[@TheNismo03]

Can you please do a more in depth video of how you back mask when taping a car. i tried to figure out how you hold the roll over your leg and fold it over but cant figure it out. Thanks!

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+TheNismo03 I've got a video showing it in detail, search for how to false edge mask

[@wootanever]

Great job mate! Now that's a proper way to paint. Whats that adhesion promoter called? I got the gist of it Dupont. can't seem to make out the rest. Was it 222S or Triple 2 S. Could be great help if you list the materials you use in your videos. Thanx a lot mate!

[@cam81366]

222s good stuff

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Yep 222S and sorry it used to be DuPont but now it's called Ceomax 222S, yeah I used to list all the stuff in my description but I guess I'm getting lazy, playing too many video​ games 🤣

[@TheGunmanChannel]

*Cromax

[@wootanever]

The Gunman. Thanks for replying. Yeah them video games can get away from ya haha. I have no experience with the shit, I appreciate your insight. What's the best setup/configuration you would recommend for a newbie using the gti pro lite?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I'd start with 3 turns out fluid and adjust to suit from there, start at 2 bar (29 psi) pressure and also adjust as necessary and full fan.

[@paulvanduyvenbode8374]

Top man! Good and relaxt stuff Gunnie!

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Paul van Duyvenbode Cheers 👊

[@georgizlatinov5039]

Great job Gunman, well done 😉👍

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Georgi Zlatinov thanks again 👊

[@bentsymbalyuk4156]

Not sure if you replied to this kind of comment or not, was wanting to buy a spray gun; specifically the GTI Pro (Tekna here in US I believe) wondering if you were to sell one of your guns so we could support your channel and get a gun in the process!?:) Loving the vids and learning a ton, thanks Gunny!👍🏽

[@donwooss]

whatever makes you pump more content is good :D

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Made a couple more today after all the positive comments on this vid, so thanks for the motivation.

[@bldia1965]

You pointed out about spraying at a higher pressure to move quicker, does this also improve the finish?? ie. less orange peel??

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Yes, it can make it so you get less orange peel.

[@arturobolanos9080]

Hey Gunny, stay true who you are, I like your communication style, very detailed and to the point. Keep Going. Art Bolanos

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Arturo Bolanos thanks brother 👊

[@adamsapple65]

Hey Gunman! Great video. I need some advice on painting a fabric covered aircraft. Do I need to put some sort of flex agent into the paint so that it will not crack when painted onto the fabric? Is there such a product? Thanks for any advice.

[@IMaliveone]

Thanks for the vids and tips. Really helpful for us DIY guys.

[@Aleks812r]

как же ты круто красишь!молодец!!

[@andyallison8017]

Gunman, love the channel I'm new to the paint game I would like more information on the thing you use too cut the paper. looks a lot better than just using a razor blade

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Andy Allison I'll include the link in my next video, I'm on my phone at the moment.

[@andyallison8017]

Thanks Gunny

[@matthewcartlidge457]

where can I get a hold of that sealer in the u.k I'm terrible for striking through and getting scrambled paint

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I'd say anyone who sells Cromax paints would have it

[@redouanebendalihassine9651]

GunMan. I love your work, you are an artist. go a head buddy

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Redouane Bendali Hassine 👊

[@georgesmith7743]

Hey gunman quick question, i know there expensive but why dont you ever use the pps system its a real time saver. Btw love the videos

[@bojangasic6272]

How do you manage to get such good coverage of base coat even in first pass? Is it only because of good color quality?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Bojan Gasic most dark colours cover very well.

[@matteosecci3890]

Hello gunman always beautiful works! Sorry but I do not understand what is the first transparent product that splashes before the color?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Matteo Secci Cromax 222S

[@matteosecci3890]

[@kelley991]

Hey Gunman, I know this is off the record from any of the videos you have done... But what is your thought about the Carcoon Worship (the inflatable booth)? Could give some pros and cons about it. Also, is it really worth the money? Thanks!!!

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I've never used them do I'd rather not give an opinion, I like the concept though.

[@kristofkellhammer9208]

awesome vid gunny! Great idea that kind of video 😉👊

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+nunya your business thanks again mate

[@fernandomendes3342]

Gunman!! on more great video! What material you aplied before base coat. What set up for base coat and clear coat !! Thanks Professor

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Fernando Mendes that was Cromax 222S

[@fernandomendes3342]

Thanks, for setup. 2 bar full fan 4 turn fluid for clear coat? Base coat 1.5 bar full fan and 4 turns fluid?

[@mactoe1]

Hey gunny, do you wipe them down with the waterborne cleaner before or after the wax and grease remover? Cheers.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+mactoe1 I'm using solvent so I only use the waterborne cleaner prior to prep as a panel cleaner. But if spraying water then use the water cleaner last.

[@mactoe1]

Gotcha. I'm spraying Standox solvent and the reason I ask is because I've noticed in the past when I wipe them down with just wax and grease remover that sometimes I would still see marks from fingers and such that the wax and grease remover didn't remove. So as a rule, I use the waterborne cleaner 1st, then the wax and grease remover and haven't had a single issue since. Can't keep an eye on my preppers every move and he doesn't always keep his mits off the panels. Anyway, love the videos brotha! Keep em coming! You're the man with the plan, just ask Stan.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Yeah I'm the first to yell at people who so much as breathe heavily on my panels 🤣

Awsome job gunman. Have you ever used a LVLP gun

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Yeah I've got a few

[@abrahamn900]

The Gunman Do they spray decent. I'm thinking on getting one since my compressor doesn't keep up with a hvlp I have.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Yeah they are awesome, nothing wrong with a LVLP gun, better than HVLP any day.

[@abrahamn900]

Thanks gunman.
