ep166 - testing gravity colors part 1

[@victormike6]

Loved the paint, once I received it that is. My biggest problem was the lack of communication and the time it took to fill my order. Ordered paints and primers to complete a kit, and the order status sat pending for about a month or so. Had to put a complaint into paypal to get an answer or update which is all I needed. Was able to purchase and complete another kit before I was able to get 4 bottles of paint, couldn't wrap my mind around that. Needles to say when they came, I was very happy with the way it lays out. Would love to use it again short of the wait, MRPaint and ZERO for now I guess.

[@barpfoto]

was that gravity usa or the euro guy?

[@victormike6]

Plastic Bottles- USA.

[@GravityColors]

We got slammed with orders in December and had yo hire more employees to fulfill orders. Delays with orders are solved in January.

[@BobaFettClone]

I don't want to be a jack ass but if you are the real deal how come the guys from Gravity Colors Europe didn't have the same issue ? just asking !

[@DiablosWorkshop]

Thanks for posting... I enjoy your detailed scientific testing procedures...Looking forward to part 2.

[@2kidsnosleep]

He opens a bottle at 33:13,paint shoots at 35:35. Holy cow Will it isn't pause to use, it is fast forward. I would love to test my Gravity paint order, but it remains unfilled since November and they only seem to want contact via Facebook and not their own website. That is BS. Wish I were famous and got first class service...or any service

[@barpfoto]

whoa. easy, tiger. i'm not the problem here. mate' had some family issues after christmas that slowed things down, but he's normally on top of it. message me on fb and let's get you connected with him.

[@GravityColors]

What is your order number? I will check it for you

[@2kidsnosleep]

Thank you, all taken care of and sorted out.I have stepped back from the edge now

[@barpfoto]

ok...i was like....but we frans, bro!

[@2kidsnosleep]

I apologize, was a bit harsh at ya...we still buds for sure

[@parascalemodels]

I recall the Repsol Honda video series you shared using gravity paints Will. It prompted me as a bike builder to give them a try for the color accuracy alone. I would say anyone out there who is worth a salt with their airbrush will be highly impressed with them. Thanks for sharing!

[@parascalemodels]

I stand corrected! U used zero and not gravity......apologies. I used gravity and not zero! Guess I went over to the Dave thibedeu vid right after yours.

[@barpfoto]

lol i was going to say....

[@rzezniqq]

I'm here purely for long videos. Keep up the great work Will!!

[@McNeive1000]

I use Gravity paints and the 2k clear coat, and I really like them, however, when it comes to the primer there are many single stage primers out there that work fine. It's just not worth all of the trouble of mixing up some primer that you have to use right away especially on smaller parts. Of all the Gravity paints that I've used, that's the only complaint that I have. If you would make both a 1k and a 2k primer like Zero does, that would be great.

[@terrypeterson9783]

Imagine that!! A primer that goes on wet and lays down flat !! That's a win ,win win!! Well done Will!

[@royshaw9299]

I'm into model cars and this the first I've heard about this

[@jamesvozar1]

Great video as always thankyou, feel like a newb using mr metal paint and TS rattle cans for my racing cars bikes.

[@uwehf]

Hi Will , you do a great job Bro´. Greetings from the other side of the Atlantic. Stay at home and healthy!

[@glastobilly]

1k is normally air, 2k requires the paint to have an activator else it will never fully cure. Good thing to show about primer Will, we use primers not only as a good base to sand back but they also show flaws and reactions, better to show it then before you shoot many pounds / dollars worth of top coat!

[@scrach]

Will the isocyanates get rid of the third nipple I already have?

[@clydelourensz4077]

Bit confused. I thought Gravity Colors was a Spanish company and this Matt fellow was a distributor in the US. I say was because I think Gravity EU has distanced itself from Matt. Are you able to clarify this?

[@misgoldman]

my understanding is that the original company is in Spain...the USA company was a distributor but due to poor customer service the company in Spain decided to cut ties....the USA company apparently continues to use the name Gravity Colors without permission, but I'm not sure if it's the same product or their own formulation....if you google Gravity Colors, the first company that comes up - gravitycolors (USA) - is the US based guy that everyone complains about...unfilled orders, lack of response, etc....the next one, gravity-colors.com is the Spain company that everyone claims is the company to deal with....I placed my first order last week with the Spanish company, and got it about 4 days later...excellent shipping. All I hear about the US company are people complaining they had to file a claim to get their money back because the dude wouldn't communicate....anyways, good luck.

[@BobaFettClone]

Got a question ... if Gravity Paints is an American brand then why on some products (see GC-114) it is stated that these paints are produced in EU ? it seems ridiculous ....

[@Homerlovesbeer2]

Agreed. The whole story just seems really fishy and I wouldn't be surprised if customer delays are due the USA Gravity company having trouble getting paint. Apparently the paint is rebottled in the USA into their own bottles from larger cans.

[@misgoldman]

@@Homerlovesbeer2 not sure that's accurate...my understanding is the Spanish company is the real deal...the guy in the US apparently uses the Gravity name without permission, but I'm not sure the paints are the same...could be the US guy hired the same company who produces it for the Spanish company, but I don't know...in any case, I can tell you this...I placed my first order with the Spanish company (gravity-colors.com) and got my order shipped via DHL for about 11-12 bucks in about 4 days...I can't wait to try them.

[@Homerlovesbeer2]

@@misgoldman Yep I bought the US product and the caps were so poor all my paints are still wrapped in original packing unopened and dried up, unusable. I also had massive issues with shipping to Australia with USA Gravity (the good old "got lost in the post" story). Finally got them and when new the paint was great. Went off after a few months. Gravity Spain has been my go to after that and I've been super impressed.

[@CarDreamsinStyrene]

Like always , very informative... I would call it the best channel if you need a approbate information Model related.... THANK YOU SIR... you rock..see you in the web

[@allanmartinez1190]

Sir, Gravity Paints are they specifically used for model cars and motorcycles only?

[@hynol]

Thx for testing. I feel like there is just too much work with Gravity primer. I prefer Mr.Hobby Surfacer. Basicly you have similar effect without as much "toxicity". I am waiting for color and clear coat test.

[@henryprophete4879]

Does Carlos have a KZbin channel if so can i get the name please. I have used Gravity Colors and yes it is very impressive.

[@allanmartinez1190]

I'm sorry Sir let me refaze my last comment. When I said do I need to be a level 4 or higher? I meant as a Modeller with many years of experience to use this kind of paint. Thank you for your time in reading my question and comments. Sincerely Allan

[@barpfoto]

well...i don't know what level 4 means but anyone can use this. it's very forgiving.

[@ralphswink136]

gravity USA screwed me out of 50 bucks no response to email or phone calls

[@clydelourensz4077]

Sorry, I missed your explanation in the video. Hence ignore my previous question.

[@McNeive1000]

They now have a single stage or 1K primer. It goes on very smooth. I see no reason to mix primer.

[@allanmartinez1190]

Hello Sir, Do I have to be a level 4 or higher? Thank you for your time. Sincerely Allan

[@barpfoto]

no, but you do need to know the secret handshake.

[@chipblock2854]

Great paint if you can ever get it. Why be in business if you can't service your customers. I have written off my order of $35. I don't expect to ever see it. Don't understand it!

[@misgoldman]

should've filed a claim if you paid paypal....

[@Kabul81]

😳 Jman👀

[@kyllerkill]

Paint in a plastic bottle is always without a doubt the cheapest and worst quality paint you can buy. Putting paint in plastic to sell just shows a general cheapness that begs the question how poor quality is it. Only out to make a buck without delivering on the quality. Stay with Gaia, e7, and modo paints any day.
