Wooow😲😲!!! You are really a magican!!! After every video you put here on youtube i become a much better painter and doing less mistakes!!! You cant imagine how gratefull i am for all your vids👍👌😉!!!tnx👊👊

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

That's so awesome to hear man !!!; Thanks so much !!!

[@michaelyiannett4515]

The other benifit using your walcom drier is quicker drying which means less wet time with paint, for crap to fall on it

[@bodytm]

This tip about spraying first coat of clear not too far to the edge is brilliant...because when you put all clear full from edge to edge then color can be a little bit darker 🙂 I’ve learned that a few days ago at schooling center 😁

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Thanks bro !!!;

[@VictorNUribe]

Hey Gabriel nice work keep it up with your great attitude and positive energy. I've been using the same techniques when spraying clear for 13 years and to me it's always money in the back. Only the painter behind that specific spraygun can judge and control his results after a paint job. I love how you discibe that if you paint it it ain't right, yet u continue to do videos to give us tips on how to better ourselves. This is also the reason why you continue to get more subscribers everyday. God bless you "Amigo" saludos desde la Bahia en California.

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Gracias brother!!!!! I appreciate you taking the time to comment!!!!!!!!!😍

[@awsasher5090]

I am 24 and I do paint here and their my boss is 41 and I’m his buffer prep tech and detailer lol but the differences I’ve seen in your paint work is you don’t go past the next panel that much I know your using a 1.2 so I’m not bitching I haven’t used one I always get picture frame if I stop at the edge and your blends are amazing really liked what you did as a really young painter I learned something I have been painting since 14 but we all still say we suck lol but I hate Ppg enviorbase tbh I like glasurit

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Yeah this doesn't doesn't work for everyone that's for sure haha

[@javifernandez1202]

Gabriel por que no usas el bake de tu booth para secar el base coat? No se te ensucia mucho si lo secas con el blower. Saludos hermano desde LA

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

La verdad que se demora 5 minutos en calentar entonces es más fácil con el blow

[@Angel-vv3lh]

When you dont use wetbed and you dont tack before you apply clearcoat, do you ever get any dusty looking clear? I painted a ford explorer front end with a very course metallic code (new hood) and didnt tack before clear so the clear looked like there was a lot of dry basecoat dust. I covered it up with another very heavy coat of clear. What do you think? Much love and respect from Atlanta GA you do great clean work!

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Yes sand piling of the base yup

[@fubarinwar]

I am assuming you sprayed solvent base. Water base paint has a lot less of that sand piling issue. If you try envirobase he is spraying you will notice it goes on a lot smoother than the old school solvent paint.

[@rexmeadows9681]

Great job you are awesome I am learning a lot 😎

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Great!!!!

[@rexmeadows9681]

Quick question I am spraying some clear on my mustang bumper cover and I am using shop line jc 830 it seems dull is there a better clear from shop line any advice would be great thanks.

[@claudioorallo4061]

Hello, Gabriel, I follow you a while ago. I wanted to ask you how long it took you to become the excellent painter you are today?? I'm from Argentina, I work matching colors in a distributor. something that fills me with tis videos is in addition to your energy, your way of explaining, you are very didactic...

[@420sonni]

How long is your whip hose.I like that clean air belt you got.I dont like using mine on large hoods.It sits on my side instead of my back like yours.

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

It's about 4 and half feet I believe

[@Smoovindecat]

Great video again! But here you don’t use that clear base stuff...to help silvers lay flat on the blend..I’ve seen others do it...do you do it? And why not here? Thanks again.

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Because I don't need it all the time. If it's hot and the base is drying to fast I'll use it. Also if the color is laying down nice then I don't feel the need for it

[@dirkwichmann2225]

It looks like you have a happy day 😁 And a bit of "elevatormusic" now 🤣 Yes clearcoat works like a lens ... so it is beter to make the edges as thin as posibel.... most important by silver... somtimes i use to the edges only F.O.T. On MB744 Audi LX7W VW LA7W f.ex. If you spray on 744 two coats of clear on the edges after blending the color will looks better without blending 😂 Bmw 300 Alpine white will look much to grey with to much clear over it .. f.ex So it is not only by metallics.... Nice week all 😉

[@kennethandersen6920]

Do some of you guys use the D8175 clearcoat like most of us use here in norway?..it dries in 5 min (object temperature 60)...any feedback on tje use of this clear would be great...we have some difficults with it specially on roofs and hoods so any feedback on this would be great:)??? Keep up the great videos:):)

[@Smoovindecat]

kenneth andersen what’s happening? I considered this but then think use normal clear with some turbo additive.?

[@kennethandersen6920]

Also another thing we habe problems with in the cold north (norway:)..is the drying of the tricoat paint (PPG ENVIROBASE)...the topcoats with the T490 in it...so any help on this matter would also be great..ideas about how to speed up the drying of this when many colors have 2 - 4 coats of this shitty mess:) on top of the basecoat:)??

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

[@MrSnipes1987]

looking good. Do you get any pinching or anything by only giving your base 10min flash? I think ppg recommends 20 minimum.

Thanks for the learning curve... just subscribed bud!. Quick question, would you give the thumbs up on the Iwata WS400 with the 1.2 tip for a flat glass like finish compared to the likes of Devilbiss GTI Pro Lite or the Sagola 3300 GTO? I'm a novice at this trade.

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Get a 1.3 not 1.2

[@mindset5984]

Minimum 1.3 for clear coat depending on the gun. We have a cheap star gun for the shop and ive used it a few times its a 1.4 and that is the best finish I've ever had on my clear.. does better than my satajet5500 rp

[@barneydog8479]

gabe i always start at the bottom, just feel i can see the finish better? keep up the good work!

[@mindset5984]

I start from the bottom and go up aswell, mainly for my clear coat but I've never had an issue going from the bottom

[@john2335]

Your advice of blowing in one direction has been super useful for me. I must have saved like a 100 hours of polish time and gained a lot of respect in my workplace in the ~12 months that I've practiced it. I allways took my time to blow panels for an extended duration hoping to save in potential polishing time in the end. After I started blowing in a particular direction I've started to reduce my blowing passes while not compromising on results :D However the "motivated painters" blower you advocate is of a questionable value IMO. I have tried them all and ended up with a "venturi" blower (looks something like this "i.ytimg.com/vi/PGxDO2WHnOY/maxresdefault.jpg" that screams like a banshee (ear protection is strongly advised) but after I'm done with it no particles will summon while clearcoating @ 2.5 bar at close range. Your waterbase drying blower is pussyfooting it.

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

I'm glad I've been able to help. 100 hours is alot a lot of money saved in time that makese happy. I love my blower I use it every single day and it's a fraction of the price of all the other blowers like sata ones so thats why I love it and it's alllllrighttt in my pocket and you can regulate it as you wish. That one does look interesting. I'm not familiar with that technical term you refered too lol
