[@kiessla]

[@gabitoxp]

[@TheGunmanChannel]

[@arianamariefernandez1302]

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Foster Taylor no worries mate, the list is also in the description of the video if you wanted to copy the text, hope I didn't miss anything but I think I got most of it.

[@crazddrifterr]

Great video mate, it's great to have someone like yourself sharing the knowledge ! allows me to learn about the trade and the attitude I should bring in to the trade when I get an apprenticeship ! Cheers Gunny

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Branden Bunny thanks man 👊

[@buggaluggs6198]

Top pair of vids, mate . Loved all the detail you went into . My local bloke in Hobart does U Pol, so it’s relatable . If you run out of shit to say, I’m fine with silence . Watched wads of your vids, but I’ve lurked all this time . Keep up the real work . Cheers .

[@777mriv]

I Love Watching your videos!...You are a Real down to earth person!...fun to watch and full of useful info and techniques!...keep up the great work!

[@Bboy19902003]

I'm glad to hear someone tell the truth, I do side work and have to explain to ppl why such a "small" repairs doesn't cost $50 and only take 2hrs

[@e.7887]

Am glad u put tool in description. Another good spot repair 💯👌👍

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Glad it was of help.

[@sikismeker]

NIce work, everything i know i learned from you. Thx man, keep up whit a good work. Greetings from Serbia. :)

[@shaunbarker9201]

Great work and video again. I'm certainly no sprayer but I love to watch your videos. I'm not sure if the average person on the street understands how much work goes into repairing, prepping and spraying. I see your also a vaper as well, myself included. Personal choice yes

[@boulahya05]

thinks gunny you r the best , i dore those long vedio , keep posting them , thank you verry verry much

[@TheGunmanChannel]

No worries 👍

[@89Mirageman]

I love watching your videos. I pick up a tip every time I watch one. I'm a Mitsu guy, looks like a Mighty Max pickup in the back ground.

[@mescalp]

Yeah I agree..do what the market wants. Most folks will be real happy with that and sell the car in 3 to 4 years anyways. That was a tight blend for light silver ..impressive

[@Mikefngarage]

I worked with the guy who invented that folded tape and sold the patent to 3m. the one you used for the body line blend stop. This was back in the mid 80s.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Interesting story

[@scottlundy257]

I don't know how you do it I have Painted a few cars and and equipment but if I laid the paint on like you do I would have runs every where its seem like there is a fine line between runs and to little and you get that flat looking over spray look my hats off to you. you make it look easy and believe me i know its not.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Scott Lundy lots of practice and knowing a few tricks 😉

[@chriswebb9332]

Scott Lundy years of practice man

[@ThisIsTheRealMe2]

mission accomplished!! Came out great for a cheap lot job!! Subscribers are creeping up to 100k man, hope you got something planned to celebrate gunny

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Yeah, I'm not sure what I should do though.

[@harnesslife]

HOLY SHIT I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THESE VIDEOS FOR YEARS AND EVERY NOW AND THEN ID TRY THE FALSE EDGE MASKING TODAY IS THE DAY I GOT IT I USED WIDE MASKING TAPE THAT MADE THE DIFFERENCE CHEERS GUN MAN AND THE BEER PROBABLY HELPED TOO .

[@jasonfulham4412]

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Cheers man

[@PHARRAWAY]

[@TheGunmanChannel]

[@muggs8693]

Good work gunny

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Cheers mate

[@itsgrape4691]

Beautiful job that’s all it needed

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Absolutely man, thanks 👊

[@SteffsGarage]

Hey gunman I sprayed my 1978 Pontiac Trans Am metallic blue factory color. No experience except for what I've learned in your videos. I sprayed the clear with my tekna for the first time and it wrinkled due to it blasting the clear and me dribbling over some BS in the local booth. I can't sand the wrinkles out due to me spraying over the run. It has the Greyson tint in that area. Can I scuff the roof down and back mask down by the quarters and then blend the area with some more color.

[@filibertobarrera3839]

I worked at the dealer for 10 years before opening my own garage.Did it the same way.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Filiberto Barrera it's just how it is

[@leeava5384]

good vid mate but can you show how to do fadeout, can you see the join in clear? thanx

[@broken1965]

nice smart repair mate

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Thanks again man

[@psyolent.]

good on you mate. you tell it like it is. your advice for me today has been fucking awesome, keep keeping it real.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Greg Winfield Cheers man 👊

[@philjoslyn9352]

have you looked at the 3m vestool vacuum system yet? pretty awsome fairly expensive!

[@rasmussteinjensen6434]

Hey nice video Gunman 👍 How Long should i wait betwen base and clear coat ? I am in 20 degress

[@oldschool823]

Another informative video thanks.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+oldschool823 thanks mate 👊

[@ChrischrosBelgium]

Great video and thans for your time; I did it on my old rover 416 where I did the front bumper wih racing british green; But after putting on the clear, high gloss) it just doesn"t shine. It looks mat. Should I sand it with soething?

[@daleclary4964]

i under stand you are right you get what you pay for why put alot of money on a cheap car but it looks great would not have known good job and right mind set thanks

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Thanks mate :)

[@JeffKreska]

Can you go into some more detail on how you do the blend? How come you didn't have to blend the panel to the rear of the repair?

[@alastair355]

Good video man.

[@doubleaaaron]

"You're the idiot really!" Good job gunny. That made me laugh. I feel the same way about those situations and people.

[@garyhess3139]

Nice repair,

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Gary Hess thanks man 👊

[@chocolatepuma5479]

Greetings!!!!!!!! We need to know about Bondos and Primer process!! Please!!!

[@emiliakoupov3211]

Amazing job!

[@jman6030]

Nice job 😉

[@P3mpi]

Good job mate. Is it possible to dk a blend with a tri coat paint?

[@meteora8888]

How would it be done differently on an more expensive car and how much more would it cost?

[@oldatarigamer]

Hello - I have a car that will need a new bumper. What questions should I ask a shop about the job and what should I look out for to see if a shop is capable of a good paint match. Thank you!

[@DjZeroPlayer1]

oldatarigamer bumper bars are always a little darker than the rest of the car

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Hard to say, maybe just see if you can find a place that has good reviews and make it clear that the colour match is important and if it isn't right you will want it done again but keep in mind that bumpers are 5-10% out even from factory as DJ mentioned, a few reasons why, for one plastics can hold the metallic paint different to the metal adjacent panel and also they are commonly done in a different factory and with different paint batches than the body.

[@dimitridam1249]

The problem with the filters ill told them of sagola to.that it no fits..nice gun but litlle bit strange..

[@fonziyo]

can you do the same video but with 2k acrylic paint

[@Bunjee98]

Oi lad do you you have any advice for painting a car black?

[@Ash-zw9ds]

It's an imperfect world, if it was perfect, we wouldn't have a job!

[@TheGunmanChannel]

That's true

[@Ash-zw9ds]

The Gunman hey man I've got an odd question for you? What are the chances I could get a tee shirt from you with your saying "paint some sh!t"? I've picked up a few tricks form that have saved my arse a few times.

[@05Z400rdr]

On those burn ins, do you ever mix the clear 50/50 with some base reducer and burn those edges in after you peel the false edge tape? Then sand/polish it back out? Ive tried it the way you showed, but still get too much of an edge that way. And after cut/polish I can still see a bit of an line

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I try to take it easy on the edge and not overload the edge and also peel the tape off before a bake and that usually allows it to melt in.

[@allanross6448]

miss doing this already!

[@TheGunmanChannel]

It's a bit of fun :)

[@MiKaAuT]

hi gunny.... hers allready mikaaut from austria....what do you mean at 11:25 standox solvent base

[@CaptainBash737]

Nice common sense repair mate. If 'ya don't tell the DIY'ers how it really is then they just end up trying for perfection and ending up disappointed. I get loads of hate for using filler in my old 1967 Mk2 Jag but sod 'em. At least I'm not scared to drive it and I've seen the repairs they they've paid someone a lot of money to do to their cars. 🤣 No filler...really? Anyway, good pair of vids, cheers man.......

[@agelomurgia4801]

good job

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Thanks

[@brianhart5612]

Ever use 3m DART tape for the blend area?

[@DjZeroPlayer1]

yo gunman i have a question, sometimes whem i prep my stuff i have these weird "edges" where you can see i sanded it, how do i get the edges how they were before? im an aprentice tho and i cant get an answer out of my boss

[@jonathanbrett1919]

Still love your work Gunny. I would like to improve my repairs by buying some UV lights. They are difficult to find. What brand are you using? I have been taking my time and placing repairs in the sunshine for a few hours each day. Be nice to speed things up a bit.Great work and thank you.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

These are the ones I have, there are cheaper options if you look at the 2nd link, I'm assuming you meant infrared not UV lights as that's what I was using in this video www.spraygunsdirect.co.uk/index.php/iwata-1kw-handheld-infrared-unit-with-stand-orange-timer-optional-best-ever-price.html#sthash.2OmPjTu7.dpbs www.spraygunsdirect.co.uk/index.php/catalogsearch/result/?q=infrared

[@scottd55555]

8:07 the tool you use to cut the plastic what is that called?

[@gjaeigjiajeg]

How much would you charge to do a spot repair like this?

[@MegaAnibar]

Mr.gunman.....what is the orbital sander input pressure.....

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+MegaAnibar maximum

[@jman6030]

Been there done that..lol. Japan dryer 😉 people are a little too busy nowadays.

[@stevejanka361]

Good morning Gunny, helluva job for a used car lot. I am surprised they pay you for that good of a job. Overhear they would try to spray bomb it themselves. lol. What is the brand of compound and polish that you use? Again great video, thanks.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

We use a lot of Juice polishes and I quite like them.

[@ThurgoodJenkinz]

You speak the truth, Gunny. I know all too well about the collision industry. Tacking all the plastic down helps out a lot for me.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

It is what it is hey.

[@sealisland1]

I know you didn't use it but what pressure do you spray your ANI R150 with? I heard 40psi?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Yes, I use 40 psi sometimes but adjust to suit.

[@oldschool823]

gunman do you have a tool/ sandpaper cart review? thanks.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+oldschool823 no mate sorry, I got this one for about $100 from the hardware store and made a few mods

[@miles11we]

does anyone know of a good way/good products to paint or just color rubber and other flexible materials. would the same processes for painting plastic bumpers work as long as i keep the paint thin enough to flex?

[@Gazhac111]

Miles11we the first product you need to put on bare plastic is plastic adhesion promoter. Then prime and paint. If the plastic is very flexible, you will need to add elastic additive to the primer and the clear coat to stop it cracking.

[@airbrushingbynick6071]

Don’t listen to any tosspot. Just carry on doing your job well and grab some swag and that what counts. Pride in your work comes a close second these days, it’s the way the world works now. Peeps want everything for nothing and more. Just like me. 😂 I’m no expert but my downfall is filling and levelling and getting those spot repairs etc not to be visible after. That’s the prob. Bits. That’s nothing I get bluebottles on mine, home workshop/shed.

[@khamesbanan]

hey man what is that little tool you used to cut the plastic?

[@johnmitchell4183]

Razer

[@Gazhac111]

Tyrell Zechin it you go on eBay and type in snitty, they are great for cutting the plastic.

[@DjZeroPlayer1]

could you link the masking tape?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

You'll be able to get masking tape at any decent local auto distributor but here's a link if you want to buy online. www.spraygunsdirect.co.uk/index.php/quartz-masking-tape-25mm-35mm-50mm-per-box.html#sthash.CtTng7gF.dpbs

that's what you call..a dealer body work.. here's in the NY

It is what it is :)

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+matthew dyess 😂😂 just for prior to polish

[@shakellw4634]

spot on, great job, dont let the nay sayers bother you

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Thanks mate.

[@redwanedhrayie3994]

I am from Morocco and admire your possible work explain in Arabic

[@yuhaz]

thx

[@beaupfeifferrecordings]

lol should drill a hole in the air cap

[@TheGunmanChannel]

haha

[@andyjamestf]

I don’t understand why people give you shit for these little jobs? The way I see it that’s just another string to your bow Nice job

[@frankvalencia9227]

Been binge watching all you vids haha..loaded with great tips and techniques!!..bitchin vids brutha keep them coming!! Question..aside from that small dent your boss told you to disregard what would be the difference in work you'd do from this Hyundai to say a 6 figure car??..this repair looks better then some body shops I've had work done from here in California haha

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Thanks man, basically I would have blended the surrounding panel, taken more parts off and painted the entire panels instead of going off the line.

[@frankvalencia9227]

Gotcha gotcha ..makes sense. Well thanks for the reply man. . You ever in California let's hangout shoot the shit and have some 🍺 🍺..

[@Burn377]

Pus Jobs is what my last boss called car yard repairs...

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Keeps us busy though and I enjoy doing them for some reason.

[@insertname5365]

15:30 mate some of us save for years to buy our first new vehicle when its gets dinged there’s nothing worse than a half-arsed repair from someone you thought was reputable. i took my 2011 challenger in for a insurance job and my fucken god they butchered it. www.wankers and naylor.co.nz these fucken clowns i should up load some pictures, small dents in the roof where they climbed up, scratches in the paint where they cut tape. sanding marks showing through the fucken finshed top coat. unbelievable... i'm just too busy with my life too deal with more drama, i just chose to live with the damn disapointment instead. So i disagree what you think should be a Sufficient job is someones pride and joy, do it once and do it right

[@eddiemartinez265]

Gunny why did you not show the bog work? Now lets get out and paint some shit & bog that car.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Eddie Martinez did you miss part 1?

[@eddiemartinez265]

I must have going to check it out sorry mate.

[@damienmikkelsen6056]

The customer will not pay you for your time to get the Porsche finish on a shitty car. Good call @thegunman

[@KeeleDesign]

You got scammed. If you contact the paint gun co. That’s one of a few indicators you bought a knockoff

[@TheGunmanChannel]

What is?

[@andrewfroehlich4617]

Geez dude, I think you spent more time defending yourself than you did explaining the job.

[@MegaAnibar]

plz....reply....
