I for sure like the long videos. I feel like I'm getting a whole lesson from start to finish and I like the fact that any of the middle portions aren't cut out or shortened up.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Thanks for the feedback, I actually have another channel you may be interested in, it's got some longer videos and I don't edit them, everything I do you see, I've been putting a bit more effort into that Gunman RAW channel lately and including some music and very slight editing so check it out and it may interest you kzbin.info/door/X78Fondm-s1hSEE8BoOSuA

Please don't change anything you do for the video's. We appreciate you putting in these and those that follow you know your work abilities and perfection you put into most cars. Some cars just deserve "a hack" repair or shortcut for different reasons. In other words appreciate you showing us all quick jobs along with those awesome "no corners cut" jobs your famous for. In the US as we say "there is no flies on shit". That simply means your not afraid to show people some "in and out the door" repairs and only show the viewers expensive repairs for your ego. I would like to see all the repairs you do.

[@blairwise3339]

I actually appreciate that you showed doing this kind of work and this kind of job it being your own car. I have a three-quarter ton work truck that I used for my business that I want to pretty up but it doesn't warrant buying new body panels for and making a show vehicle out of and so I imagine myself doing a lot of this and trying to make it look as good as possible at the same time.

[@ptempleton442]

Really good to see someone who knows and cares about his trade sharing his time - Big Thanks.👍

[@madarehgallag]

Huge respect to you Gunman your a true workhorse to the painting craft. You do great spraying. Appreciate your time and effort in making these video to share with us, has helped me a lot.

[@SuperHurdman]

My hat off to you Gunman that is a hard trade I am a welder and it was a tough go got good and my back went and I am just 50. but I have done some painting just for myself and I always thought anyone doing this is a special person...

[@67polara]

I appreciate this video and I'll probably watch it several times my daughter's 2002 Civic is hail-damaged and will get the full respray this spring. My labor is free so I'll just do the best I can on it.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Thats all I did mate, a quick tidy up. theres a few more videos to come on this car and I'll cover painting.

[@HeAhaBro]

Thanks man for your videos because there are soso many unhelpful vids out there relating to damage repairs and spray work. Thank you again for your helpful videos.

[@josecorreia7898]

I have the same car whit same color and the same problem, all full of holes lol!!! But the customer does not have the money to repair. 😁 thanks one more time man!

[@jaywalkercrew4446]

Work doesn’t frighten you, that’s good. So many people are scared of doing anything a bit big in Bodyshops.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Hell yeah brother 🤙 nothing wrong with some hard work. Appreciate you watching so many of my vids too mate.

[@jaywalkercrew4446]

The Gunman thanks, useful and good coverage on your updates. 👍

[@TuubiUser]

so nice to watch these works, .. seems that some people doesn't understand why to do this, but it's just that what is fixed, is fixed and looks good and you like to do. keep on

[@redline6871]

Definitely like the longer Vids. Usually make a watch later list while I'm at work kills a good few hours.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

redline6871Great to hear

[@davidwynne2539]

Old swat one here Gunman, I like the deep end stuf, its what tests us as spraypainters but as you know its good in the deep end sometimes,,good to see your all jobs done, i was in the traid since 1993, but i bet new painters learnt alot off your vids, best of luck dude

[@armory3379]

Refinishing perfect everytime, thank's for quality video!

[@radekgugnowski7074]

No wonder you're your own boss now, you have deserved it big time through all the hard work you have done. Out of interest how much would full respray like that cost in AUD Dollar. I think i have watched almost all of your videos by now, the fact i like the most is that they are long and i can watch them for hours and they show enough details. Well done.

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

I like the in depth vid, people can fast forward if they want I figure. Thanks for what u do, your friend paul from Ladner b c canada

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Thanks mate :)

[@sascandave]

This is so awesome mate . This is exactly what I am going to he doing when my shop is built .

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Dave PaisleyIts so good to have my own place.

[@2102Chris]

Nice you still decided to share this video. Sometimes we do something in our free time that would have been to expensive if it was for a customer. But still puts a little extra money in the pocket for some fun ;-) Keep it up

[@TheGunmanChannel]

2102ChrisThats the way I look at it, just something to do and now I have a tidy little runabout.

[@mattyh1512]

The Gunman your vids are very good got a couple of questions about filling bodies for you I bought a Lamborghini Diablo Recreation the paint work was fine when I bought it got the park car parked outside and it has come up with blisters all over tiny pimples the car is white in colour and I was going to change it anyway but now I seem to have a mile of body work to do can you come up with any suggestions.....thanks mark

[@Kalvegjerdet]

awesome video, love these long all included vids.

[@pennykobori7145]

I really like your works

[@biroloo7]

You are the best man .👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 you work same style like me 😃

[@portablebbq]

Cool Vid mate, im also a painter. You should get into glue pulling hail dents. Works out quicker pulling them out, rather then filling, sanding highs and lows.

[@Orthec1]

Sehr gute Arbeit! Grüße aus Deutschland,Oli!

[@HewAndAwe]

Longer vids are perfect, means more snacks and beers! ;)

That foil tape you used to protect the edge of the hood is known as "Alabama chrome" here in the southern U.S.

[@sammyesparza8599]

Awesome thanks for the advice I think IMA go with the gti pro for the colors haven't seen anyone here in the states with the gti

top job mate

[@critstixdarkspear5375]

Have noted I need to add Hugo ball huggers to my ppe

[@ZombieHoard]

G'day champion. Is there a reason you use a pneumatic sander in lieu of an electric? I love how little dust escapes from my electric orbitals once connected to one of my dust extractors. The booth coat was an awesome tip too, thank you.

[@nunyayourbusiness7327]

[@richyerneski3995]

Hi, was mit autos ist zu tun , sehr interessiert mich das, gut daß sowas gibt, kaman auf solsie filme kuken tak und Nacht, sehr gut

[@charlescamarillo9279]

I've watched quite a few body repair videos, yours are very imfomative and easy to follow. ...I'm about to start on my hail damaged 97 honda accord, it's my crappy to and from work car that I call "La" Cookaracha car, anyway you get the idea, I'm not to concerned about it being perfect ,it's a good car to learn body work on, I've been stocking up on equipment for several weeks now, a little at a time....my question is, I noticed that you didn't grind down to the metal, is that ok, or did I miss somthing? ps my honda has 260,000k miles ,running great with cold ac. thanks for the helpfull videos

[@TresMamboMusicSchool]

Hey G-Man that is GREAT advice about spraying Wax and grease remover over the grey to make it look wet while flattening! Can you tell us more about your palm sander - it looks real nice - no effort, no dust, is it an extractor system and if so how much CFM do you need to make it work properly, what papers do you use with it?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

TresMamboMusicSchoolIts a 3M brand sander, Dynabrade are good too. Not sure about cfm requirements but I know small compressors struggle with these sanders.

[@ballerbrian4u]

Love you videos gun man! Keep them coming! Can you also include in the paint booth video what you would do if the paint booth was full of overspray and not shiny like in this booth? Would you sand it with a DA and paint it? With what paint? Home paint? Thanks

[@rowanuithaler2171]

what video would you recommend for a beginner looking to start out panel beating and spray jobs? cause it's something I always wanted to give a try but I don't have have like the spray booth and all your special equipment....so a video telling me what I need to get started and how to go about it. thanks

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I have a video called Spray Painting for Beginners, it would be ideal for you

[@philjamieross107]

that metal tape what do they call it looks like a good tape to use, driver side passenger panel looked like the paint finish was damaged

[@jorgesuarez3901]

good day I admire your work, I have a concern when sanding the putty when you do all the repair process by giving hands varnish is not seeing risados ​​putty or work is perfect thank

[@danhenderson783]

Skim the entire door with filler.. way easier with better results with numerous small dings.

[@TheMan-vw3lk]

+Dan Henderson why the whole door is not damaged so why waste filler

[@fugudacat]

+The Man Consistency when sanding it! He mentioned a Skim which is a very very thin coat of filler or putty. This allows you to block an even substrate instead of filler and old paint that will cut unevenly.

[@Braianvictor1]

nossa cara, quanta massa..

[@VictorLopez-po1xr]

Hey gunman, have you ever tired using stanly 2" blades for small filler repairs? they will save you a lot of time from sanding and save you a lot of product & it will give you a smooth flat finish

[@james.v7303]

Hey bud love your work after some advise what grit would U block sand hi fill with guide coat ready for base coat?

[@jeffbriscoe9257]

nice shirt mate

[@TheGunmanChannel]

[@kurtisleney7231]

Awesome job once again man! You said you used the TE-20 cap for the solvent base coat, did you use a 1.3 for this job?

[@victorpardoquiroz4572]

good good

[@fuckjewtube69]

Better to have a longer videos. People can always fast forward if they want to skip stuff.

[@salkuwaiti66]

why didn't wet sand the primer on the hood?

[@mehdimohammadi1346]

Hi mate did you use dent puller or just filled the spots with filler ? Thanks in advance

[@Johnswebs]

Won't the clear get in your eyes? Then into your blood stream? Is this a 2k base and clear system? Might start using a full shield for eye protection. Seen many of painters here in the states that became sick and even died from not covering their eyes and skin when mixing and spraying.. But if your using water born paints you might be alot safer. Just be safe.

[@ThePoleLine]

good call bloke its a big deal in painting. Gun man does a great job and he is very switched on. I remember when air fed hoods came in they were sweet relief compared to half mask

[@arunikaushani1729]

Johnswebs dpp

[@julian15516]

what's the drying time between the base coat then the clear ??

[@IsaacOLEG]

can't those small impacts be bowed back using metal memory (with a massaging technology)?

[@codydelgado4859]

Isaac OLEG yes

[@kenhollywood4990]

Impressive work 👍 By the way,what size airline you using on the little palm sander?

[@elplateado0018]

Did you have to reinforce the door brackets to help with the extra 25lbs added with all that filler?

[@garryherbert5006]

What size compressor do you need to run your gear ?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

5hp 3piston

[@MirrorlessFrame]

Nice work! Have you ever tried the Gunsa Az3 HT2 for clear coat in any of your videos?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I think I have done a few videos on them. They're alright for the price but not outstanding.

[@MirrorlessFrame]

@@TheGunmanChannel What kind of performance details does a spray gun have to be "outstanding" for yourself?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

@@MirrorlessFrame good build quality, so it'll last. Nice large and even fan & fast material output. And that's about it off the top of my head

[@MirrorlessFrame]

@@TheGunmanChannel Do you think fast material output can sometimes work against some types of paint / guns depending on the skill level? I agree with you 100% though. Do you think this can also become a personal preference when someone has learned how to use certain type of paint guns? Thanks for all your responses. You are such an amazing painter! Cheers Mate!

[@grzegorz16100]

Do they leave next to the golf club?

[@itchman4530]

Hey GM, what is the stuff you used to spray the booth walls with, the water based tacky paint? and I also like the long Vids, cheers and thumbs up mate!

[@TheGunmanChannel]

ITCH MAN Its called Pro Cabin, great stuff.

[@kajju1976]

can you kindly suggest a good relatively cheap spray gun for clear coats? thanks alot for your vids

[@pbaylis1]

Looks like the car was caught in a heavy hailstorm or something

[@philjamieross107]

yup he said it when it started you must of mist it

[@sammyesparza8599]

Hey gun man I am interested in a good clear gun I have seen you talk about the develbiss gti pro lite . I've had a plus gun for nine years great gun but it time to upgrade is this gti better then the tekna version

[@TheGunmanChannel]

They are basically identical but just branded different in the USA to the rest of the world, the only difference is the colour and the Tekna has no air valve like the gti has, but its a massive step up from the plus, I'd recommend staying away from the HV30 air cap unless you prefer hvlp spray guns, good luck Sammy :-)

I am in India.....how to perfect body shaping long body panels....

[@markrogers9202]

Hey Gman. I was curious for awhile. How did your boss take the news of you becoming his competition?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

He's cool man, I am a 20 min drive from him anyway, I went down and did a days work for him yesterday to help out.

[@tony1798]

hello, Question for you. you stated you sand your filler down to 180 then prime, does the primer ever shrink and are you using 2k primer

[@yourfacemyjizz]

he says he is using 2k clear in one video, but wears no full skin protection, sprays in a singlet I would say it was acrylic etching primer, i think i saw him sanding it and blowing the dust. fairly sure he used a cheap gun too. You wouldn't do that with 2K

[@tony1798]

Correct

[@megaman4201]

Lionel Sanderson actually you would, maybe you shouldn't, but still many of us take shortcuts that we shouldnt! Do-as-i-say-not-as-i-do;)

[@devinelaurent9347]

Hey gunny can u review the neiko spray gun I plz

[@dreikonse]

i saw you used the same primere for the body and also for the plastic bumper... is it ok to use the classic "metal" primer on plastic parts as well?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Yes its fine as long as the plastic has had some plastic adhesion promoter first.

[@rhodsbague4857]

D'Gunman how can I contact you, I would like to ask some questions.. newbie painter here and I always watch your vids. and yes it helped me a lot.

[@morrisl7]

around 13:00 isn't it bad to have a hard line when masking? Thought you were supposed to back mask.

[@gustavobarrera9738]

did u paint the whole rear bumper or blended it?

can I use an electric sander and if so which is the best one to use thank you

Just get a 5mm orbital sander and it should do the job but I find air tools superior as they last forever.
