Flow Coat VL Body

[@robertspicer3716]

I've been a painter's painter for 35 years. Own a painting company that does high end residential new construction and industrial as well. Painted everything from stamping presses to cabinets and furniture. My favorite is autobody been doing that for fun since I was a teen. Love your videos. I've picked up all sorts of nice tips from your videos Thanks Mate!!!

[@jimmyers2543]

A beautiful example of top line professional work. A class a job

[@rupertpatience8893]

Am going to try it on mine when I get the time to paint it. Looking great 👍

[@terryusher242]

Thanks Gunman, your videos are fantastic, I am an enthusiast in Melbourne almost ready to paint my own 72 Mach 1 Mustang in Silver, you tips will help me get a better job, I have pages of notes from your videos and now feel more comfortable to get the job done. Best videos on You Tube by Far.

[@Iswhatitisssss]

How did you go ?

[@JBIRD575]

Great video glad you hung in there bro to help us out!!!

[@DarrenBoxhall]

Hi mate, I have something to say about this. I have noticed that doing a flow coat, finishing in 800 is a must. I have seen what different grades do with my own eyes. I fliw coated a Bonne, had it all wizzed in 800 with a soft Pad, messed around doing something else, then came back to it and noticed a bit of a spot with some orange Peel, grabbed the wizz and gave it a quick buzz,had a look and I had buzzed it with 500 accidentally. I said "she'll be right" cleared it, and in the Sun, you could actually see the little area I hit with the 500 was actually slightly cloudy compared with the rest that was sanded in 800. I would love to see you wizz a bonnet in 800 then mask half of it and then wizz with 500 then flow coat it and then compare it in the sun

[@jamesgreen9954]

Hey Gunman,I like the new style of the way you did this vid.It's kind of the best of both channels mixed,you explain what your doing and just jam some tunes and let us watch you laying that clear on showing your mad skills as a painter.I hope I have the same success later this upcoming week doing the same thing,we've had several cool days of rain with high humidity so I'm waiting until we get back to 75 to 80 degrees,sunny and low humidity.I seem to be able to get a better finish off the gun in those conditions.Thanks for answering all my questions this past month it's helped me out alot.You the man,the Gunman that is.Keep up the good work mate.

[@davidweston9115]

NIce to see how he appreciates at the end. I heard some real emotion in his words, and very conspicuously absent was the use of the word "yeah" peppered in dozens of places for no reason. Just Oh, and a minute of silence, and there you have it. Well done Gunny nice to see a bit of real emotion. Have heard pro and con about flow coating but this one made me decide to do it on mine.

[@raypencosky8296]

Diamond! Beautiful finish. Well worth the extra time & materials!

[@MarceloSantos-ld5ho]

straight from Brazil, São Paulo seeing your videos, and learning from them.

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

U da man, gun man! I love seeing u stoked about doing your own car...... Perfect example of practical and right at same time !!! Keep up the vids ... Your friend paul from Canada, inspired and I'm learning !!

[@arnierock9558]

Incredible quality one of the best in the trade my friend

[@masturavince]

On the final coat,you were lovin it....

[@deanofromdownunderrandomsh898]

I like the new style Gunny, as long as you say where to skip to, which is a great idea. I'd like to see you airbrush a little moped bike or pinstripe it just for something different.

[@sacooper802]

wish me luck i shoot my first flow coat tomorrow, went to 880 grit wet, that is the nicest shoot of clear ive ever seen..great video. thanks for the inspiration and tips. a 10% thinner perhaps and heat with hot water to 100f, substrate 70f, got it

[@randalphrhule8805]

Hey you are doing an amazing work and your making a lot of sense because I appreciate what you're doing

[@wicks154]

i had my ute sprayed earlier this year i picked on a few things over the last few months the painter is willing to fix. After seeing this ill be paying him to flowcoat it too. awesome work man. 👌

[@sajh4280]

Beautiful job. I'd be very proud to have a job like that on my car 👍

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Cheers mate ✌️ I'm looking forward to doing this to my Mercedes one day 😃

[@malone6t6]

you have mastered your trade for sure ! Well done !!

[@TheDoug9901]

Add a taste of reducer to the clear it will flow out nice. Damn straight high-end clear all the way I still use Montana or upol inside doors and under hoods.

[@closerthanabrother9703]

Man I sure appreciate your videos bro!! Great stuff and God bless you 👍

[@boomn247]

Awesome work as always gunman the music makes it during longer paint vids as it shows ur skills

[@jaxturner7288]

Love yer videos, i enjoy doing body and paint on my own projects but it's awesome to see someone that really knows what he's doing.

[@Robert5540]

Excellent video and fantastic job. I have a Countach that I have been restoring myself and I will also be paint the car as well. I have painted many cars before but I haven't flow coated so.... I will be attempting this on my Lambo. Wish me luck.

[@robertgomez7229]

To the gunman u r very talented and knowledgeable good qualities for a good painter and yur videos r apreciated thanks!

[@mcats8]

The nicest, deepest finishes are the one's that are flow coated

[@mr.themac9956]

Never heard of a booth that will give u a 100% dust free environment it sure helps but I’ve even seen dust on brand new cars coming fresh off the line.

[@canadianmarauder1923]

OMG I was blown away how slow you were going on the roof. I’m gonna hafta to learn to slow down

[@boujeePerformance]

mustve watched this vl series 10 times since you uploaded them gunny smashed it out so quick and nailed it

[@rinsepiddle]

What a finish man looks awesome

[@vtecpowergt]

i love how you say f#cking amazing you can tell how proud of it you are and so you should be I was in the trade spraying for almost 13 yrs and I am sorry to say never had a job turn out like that much respect to you any chance of a video to show the paint booth filtration and vents if possible before you leave the shop behind you good work.

[@SprayWayCustoms]

Nice work Gunman!!!!!!

[@jrmathes6567]

Amazing finish mate well done

[@allnatural7749]

Absolutely awesome!!! Job well done!!!!

[@tabbott429]

Great video. I'm getting ready to do this on a couple panels on 58 chevy belair. Now I may do the whole car!

[@seasonedtoker]

those are some excellent masking skills! to me masking an object is more dreadful than sanding it by hand. I just get completely nervous when I cannot follow the edge equally from start to finish.

[@vwdarrin]

looks Bad Ass , that is why you are the gun man

[@hacke12345]

thats perfection in my view! sick paint excellent work body!!

[@MrAjfish]

Just beautiful work.

[@Smoovindecat]

Thanks for all your efforts dude! Amazing finish ! Ive been doing this 20 years and it’s great to hear you learnt the same gun technique as me ! Wind it right out:/ until that guy gave you a few tips! Now you’ve passed them on to me! Im gonna try it tomorrow! 2.5 turns ! Last time I sprayed some max Meyer clear it looked a bit too thick🤣👌🏾 just getting used to my new GTI PRO LITE too. Been using truck guns forever:/ The tips are epic! Thanks! Keep it up!

[@ryanwooster4477]

your videos are great learning lots and your music in long parts are fine.where is your paint shop?

[@normanmendonca2834]

Another quality finish. Thanks gunman. Regards from Gippsland. Merry Christmas to you.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Merry Christmas mate, thanks.

[@omg1994ful]

That's an amazing finish 👌👌

[@arianamariefernandez1302]

I love the gun show man!!Cool..

[@pktillidie]

I love the iwata supernova evo. It's a guy on KZbin who paint's exotic cars with one and he loves it so much he got it tattooed on his arm. You should try one.

[@bencrosbie6003]

Love that second coat. Plow it on!

[@rubenshartman]

Outstanding performance bro

[@fuzzy5101]

Real nice finish!! The gun man!!

[@duniet]

Wow great work yet again, I just painted my old Cadillac in my garage, couldn’t have done it without all the videos you upload, thanks all the way from Denmark. Btw your wet flors I imagine is to keep the dust down, but can you turn on heat in the booth with all that water on the floor?? Best regards, and thanks yet again 🙏🏻

[@partisanguerrilla3167]

Marvelous! Good tunes btw. Do you pay much attention to how clean the outside of your air hose is? That certainly can drop dusty things on your job if not.

[@larrysullivan6536]

Brilliant he is so good and well explained love it

[@Scottie20998]

gunman do reviews of sandpaper and the sandpaper that you use!

[@brianvincentgrech]

Thanks for Upload.Hi from Malta alot of Maltese downunder. Cheers

[@SP330Y]

@The Gunman Will you flat down and buff up any of the flow coat you did or just leave it as is,what will you do for the little bits in it,just flat those areas off and buff just those? Excellent killer wet look shine to it

[@mathiashennig3278]

Yeah thats really nice! I see you skipped the front window pillar, is it for avoiding an edge against the inside?

[@gregorysanford1610]

Great job

[@Demondal]

When doing the flow coat. How easy is it to accidentally put a paint run in as the gun moves very slowly across the panel. Awesome finish.

[@kristievanthul7086]

So sweet,impressive

[@Riffnugget]

Great walkthrough, thankyou for the time you spent to make this video. One question though, if the 1st coat sat so nice and flat then why did you put on a 2nd coat?

[@danawick9817]

you did the same to the doors ?? awesome job bud

[@racediagnostics]

Hi GM, great results again, I plan to have a go at this. Can you say what sandpaper you use, I have found that when I dry sand clear with a DA and fine paper I get corns forming which end up putting in course scratches so I reverted to wet sanding. So maybe I need to change my paper.

[@oldschool823]

hi gunman. will too much clear dull the paint? thanks. wow smooth wet coat. nice work.

[@dimensiondali]

Fucking beautiful man, congrats on your finish. So happy to have found your vids, they taught me a lot. Thank you!

[@jcchapman7383]

Man I'm not spraying base coat clear coat, I am spraying the spray wrap, Proline and Autoflex express, u think I can achieve that finish, what gun settings again, amazing stuff

[@johnwest5523]

Do you ever mix up the clear coats? Like the clear on the base being different from the flow coat clear?

[@taylormkct]

That is top notch, just a matter of interest how do you think a paint job like that would do at a car show if judged? Would you still cut and polish it as well for a show or not?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I wouldn't even take it to a show to be judged, it was really just a quick respray that got flow coated cos I can. Hell I can't even sell the thing.

[@joes1953]

Man I bet you wrap a good Christmas present.. I need to work on my masking neatness

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Joe S 😂😂

[@GaryRubino]

That looks beautiful!

[@frankvalencia9227]

That gloss gave me a fucking Hard-on man!!..beautiful work!!...hard to find painters like you with your craftsmanship here in California ..and if you know one in socal please let me know need a couple cars in need of painting

[@lutra7670]

Hey Gunny. What is the best temperature Celsius to heat the clear in cold conditions ? Thanks

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I find 30c to be perfect. No need to go any higher.

[@lutra7670]

Thank you gunny. All those little hints hiding in your videos make me Look them more than one time. Keep up the good work and big greets from Germany where we have -10 Celsius at the moment ☃️

[@TheGunmanChannel]

@@lutra7670 wow now that's cold!! Thanks for watching and stay warm.

[@stevejanka361]

Enjoy your videos. How do you heat the clear that you spoke of?

[@moonwolf3624]

Great job!! Luv the channel

[@sociopathicnarcissist8810]

How long after the original paint job is complete can a flow coat be applied? I understand (perhaps incorrectly) that there is a time limit on applying a further clear (flow coat) over the original paint job.

[@danielsumpter5441]

wow awesome brother

[@adi2200us]

Hreat clear, great gun, great painter. Fucking awesome mate!

[@TheGunmanChannel]

;-)

[@MrChuckynator]

Shit man that was a mean as effort this is like the third time watching this vid of yours just love it, real inspiration to amateurs like me. Practicing on a couple old cars myself before getting into resparaying my FG wish me luck Gunny

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I will wish you luck but this trade it's 90% experience, 9% tools and equipment and 1% luck. 🤘

[@MrChuckynator]

@@TheGunmanChannel Thanks mate, I might need more luck than most as I do my spray painting in my driveway as have no garage, hangin out for summer!

[@excavator31]

I made a shelter from roofing batoning and painters dust sheets, otherwise you're gonna get loads of bits in it for sure.

[@dogbone1677]

So stupid question but what is a flow coat is it just clear over sanded clear. Looks mint

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+RobloxBoy,TheGamerTuberandMore/The pals 2 yes that's it, it gives extra depth gloss and shine 👌

[@dogbone1677]

The Gunman cheers mate appreciate you getting back to me

[@damianramdass3886]

Love how you explain step by step along the way , wonderfull job thanks man 👍👍

[@michelgarcia7111]

Gracias maestro

[@TheGunmanChannel]

:-)

[@safetysam6118]

great look! Im confused by the term flow coat. the car was already silver COB wasnt it? meaning it had clear on it. You just rubbed it back and re cleared it didnt you? Am i right in thinking flow coat means re clear coating it? thanks Gunman!

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Yes, that's what I did. Sanded it down and recleared it. That's what we call a flow coat

[@craigarcher7034]

Hey mate what temp is the car at when you start painting and does it impact on heating your clear up

[@gregorysanford1610]

Oh yeah let's spray some shit great skills

[@richparsons4174]

Been watching and giving thumbs up to your vids for ages and wanted to say thanks for all the effort that goes into making them. I'm restoring a triumph gt6 and its going to be finished in a solid colour and wondered if I could flow coat over the 2k solid to give that extra depth to the finish? And if its possible what would you recommend in regards to prepping the 2k solid before applying the lacquer?

[@KM-uw4ez]

Question: I sprayed my clear over a base coat with pearl in it. It sagged in a few places. I color sanded and buffed it out, but even though the sags are "gone" , you can still see the sags from certain angles. I'm guessing because the density of the clear in those areas is different so the pearl refracts the light differently. In your opinion, would flow coating fix this or do I need to totally recolor and clear? Thanks for the video! was extremely informative.

[@setthehook4me]

I have a vinyl backed DA, and was wondering if there is a soft interface pad that attaches to that. Please let me know where to purchase one.

[@tonypooi9017]

Class work bro

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Thanks mate 🤙

[@tonypooi9017]

To easy lad ive watched your videos for years im floor layer by trade. And i start tomorrow first day in the shop 1 year spay painting tomorrow im rapped

[@nikonboy07]

Fantastic work Gunman. How much extra does a flow coat add to the cost of the job?? Keep up the great videos and workmanship mate.

[@Rick-fs9wc]

WOW!

[@MichaelRogersJesusrules]

awesome

[@ARIASPHIL123]

Hi gunman do you has to use type clear. From original spray and flow coat

[@P.B.S80]

What pressure are you running into your gun? I have a Iwata Supernova, i paint with 2.0Bar inlet to the gun on a regulator on the gun. Do you recomend to go higher/lower? Best regards Magnus

Is this something that is a good idea on a brand new gun metal grey car?

Hey bro. I hope everything is going super. I want to learn how to flow coat. Can you please send me few videos on flow coding?.Thanks a million, Have a great day buddy.

Hi there Tommy. Here's a video I made a few years ago, haven't seen it myself for a while but hope it's still helpful kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJq3aq1jr9d9gLc

[@adamg133]

Great job man looks bloody mint! Love watching your vids mate and always have good advice. Got any videos on dealing with clear coat with that orange peel effect in it?

[@fatherboardcomputers2212]

ok a technical question i can not find and I do not want to ask my ppg rep. do I have to staty brand specific for base and clear? I see so many jobs pealing and drying out that have been repainted.

[@JBIRD575]

Thanks mate!!

[@andreypostnik4163]

Nice!

[@MrFireman164]

Very nice !!

[@emiliakoupov3211]

Hello Gunman, do you know if i can do this over single stage white paint?
