[@gusbodyshop1036]

Thanks for what you do. I'm very impressed and thankful for professionals like yourself.

[@g3ase]

Cracking job mate. You've made a hard paint job look easy. Keep up the good work, your videos are a great learning platform to anyone interested in automotive refinishing, you're a credit to the trade. All the best for 2015.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Thanks mate, and Happy new year.

[@zeus-io3hn]

[@TheGunmanChannel]

[@Tpike777]

Subaru tri coat whites are always tricky to match well. looks nice as always Gunman

[@gamemode3734]

Hi mate just wanna say keep up the vids they r amazing ... I'm on a sprayin course at the min in my final year and I'm soo glad I found ur channel ur vids are really helping me out with my own jobs I'm doin at home... we even watch them in class now there that good

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Haha, that's awesome. Where are you doing your schooling? Australia?

[@gamemode3734]

No England I'm from Manchester

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Cool, I am so glad to hear that my vids have made it in to classrooms around the world, I was told by a guy from New York that they use my vids in his class too :-) don't forget to tell everyone they can support me by purchasing a Gunman shirt.

[@gamemode3734]

Aww mint what sizes do u do and u should do teaching urself

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I have L, M and XL in grey and white although XL grey have sold out already. I would like to do some teaching but I know I would miss having my own shop too much. Its something I may look in to though, my family has loads of teachers in it so I guess it comes easily for me.

[@ForcedFalcon]

If this is the same pearl white that's on my friends dad's 2014 WRX then the white looks so sexy in person, especially with the gloss black roof to break it up. Watching that rear bumper being painted with the first coat of white was so satisfying haha. Great video as always mate!

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Yep it would be the same colour they have been using Satin White Pearl for a few years now and yeah it looks so good especially in the sun.

[@armory3379]

Perfect job everytime, very like those video and see them a lot, thank's.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Damn wish the paint we use covered like that.Haha using Spies solvent and damn man,3 stages just take for ever,base coat is so transparent even..the white sealer is transparent.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Happy 2015 everyone :-)

[@darrellwhyly8867]

When blending the basecoat would the wet bed help with the base looking spotty

[@chidexkofi8789]

[@RPMX4]

The Gunman CONGRATULATIONS!! On behalf of all the friendly Canadians watching, I wish you the absolute very best Gunman going on your own. The watching world knows you will do extremely well. Sterling finish as usual. And Happy New Year my friend!!

[@tommyverrochi806]

The Gunman well congrats on the new place! big things in 2015, aye!

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I hope so, lots of hard work but if we go hard for a few years then who knows how big we can get.

[@MELORICKY]

If one had to do just one panel, will the pearl with the new clear coat match the original paint on the rest of the panel?

[@HankScott]

Thanks for sharing all this great info, I have enjoyed watching your videos! When you show the finished, reassembled car shots at the end of the videos, have the cars been color sanded and buffed out or doesn't the shop where you are working do that? Just wondering if the final product is good enough after you shoot it that it doesn't need to be color sanded for a show quality finish (or a finish acceptable to the customer, matching the OEM paint). I could imagine in a production repair shop they might not find that extra step profitable plus it takes more time for the paint to fully cure before the car can be color sanded, buffed, and then returned to the customer. Just curious as the jobs you are doing look really great as-is with the final clear coats! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your experience!

[@81LUKEC]

nice super job

[@tommyverrochi806]

With the wetbed, it doesn't really matter when you put it down does it? seems its all personal preference. I've heard some painters put it down right over primer... from what I'm understanding its mostly so the metallics dont fall into the sand scratches?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Yep thats right mate, some people have totally different methods and it does work, I used to do it that way too but found for me I get better results doing it my way.

[@MrCorosiveone]

Happy New year !!!! Lets paint! !!!!.....the black dots are a pain ..i use a gun now that nothing but pearl ever goes in

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Thanks man happy 2015 to you too, thats a good idea especially when working on the real expensive cars.

[@andyjamestf]

Spot on

[@mynewhaircut]

Toyota bumpers seem like they get the most dust.in your shop would you of just painted the whole side of the car or blend the other quarter?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Its hard to say Mike, if the color took more than 20 min then yep I'd just blend it. But I'd quote for it in the first place if they would allow for it, then definitely do it.

[@2wfit]

Fuck! Serious work! Looks great man, happy new year

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Thanks mate, you too.

[@TheSettttth]

Well I haven't done a triple stage yet so I found this video and sure enough we the same car and the same color must be a problem with that paint. I'm just spraying the piece on the rear that holds the ford logo I fixed a small dent primed it and had a hard time feathering it in I should have know though that right when I spray my second coat of base it bubbles up with a reaction so my small blend spot is now much bigger

[@meticulousdetail5140]

hello i just did some panels on a Rolls Royce and the paint peels off . Is There a special way to paint them?

[@rickcoborelos3681]

Hey buddy. Old vid i know but i watch the vids two/three/four times. You always see things second time around. The (static) issues on the top rail. It looked similar to wax grease remover residue? Your thoughts?

[@carloanaya5859]

hey gunman? is it okay to overcoat the basecoat before applying the pearl and give them 3coat of clear?

[@thespraysociety3276]

how many coats of pearl do you use on a pearl paint job, i used 1 coat an i see mottle in the pearls blck base ,red pear binder

[@hadalu2000]

Happy 2020!

[@Daniel379Drummer]

hi gunman.. im a currently fixing up my car, re-doing the inside of the car, re-painting the chasy ect. and i am going to paint it lime green, but i have no experience with car painting, and do not have the money to have it professionally done. would you be able to make a video showing what i need to learn step by step? thanks.

[@Daniel379Drummer]

ands its a 1990 Toyota 4wd Hilux

[@TheGunmanChannel]

This video will help you man kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3mcgoWJicqFhJY

[@Daniel379Drummer]

The Gunman thanks man :D

[@sammyesparza8599]

Gun man I have to spray a pearl white .my question is how do you spray a liquid pearl

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Sammy Esparza mix it with binder first

[@nunyayourbusiness7327]

i even liked the white

[@miller68]

Hi. What do you think Gunny , is this gun (Iwata Bellaria) worth buying ?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Vasile Miller it's a great gun, but for me I personally prefer the GTI Pro lite

[@edpaintsprayer7725]

Hi..mate did I get right? R u spraying in solvent? And regarding white base...did it come in the formulation...or you just match the best white for it? And the blend...so basicly you blended the white base..and went with pearl edge to edge? Thanks.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Its the factory color and this is the only way to replicate the colour, I blended both base white and top pearl but left it just a little off the edge on the front door but the tailgate and rear bumper both colours come right up.

[@edpaintsprayer7725]

Cheers mate. Never done candy before...but I will have to probably soon. Trying to get as much information is possible )

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Its easier than you may think man, you'll be fine.

[@edpaintsprayer7725]

The Gunman :)) I ll be fine bro.. grab a like from me.

[@manuelibarra9779]

hello my friend how many coats of bàse and pearl thanks ...awesome job

[@Ryan_1997]

do you mix the pearl and clear coat?? which is better to do?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Ryan Clark the pearl is mixed with a transparent basecoat

[@lastingimpressionspainting3787]

Gunman, what kind of pay rates can an experienced painter expect to make or what are the rates in your area

[@TheGunmanChannel]

well it depends on your experience and skills but anywhere from $30 to $60 an hour.

[@jenstori5746]

Hi when painting the hood of a car pearl white do you have to blend in the side fenders or can you just paint the hood one shot

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Jens Tori as long as the colour is pretty good you should be right to paint a hood just by itself, if it's a side panel like a door or a Fender or a quarter panel it's recommended to blend the colour even if you are pretty happy with it.

[@scarface4913]

bro how come you are not getting multiple layer with the pearl where you stop and start,since you are not running the whole vehicle,plus i always get runs or orange peel very coarse

[@subarex2926]

Man i wish you did my repaint my wrx! It was done horribly and they just didnt care😭...lol

[@TheGunmanChannel]

SubaRex Theres too many people out there like that unfortunately.

[@ciaramagee2436]

you always do doors from the bottom up??

[@TheGunmanChannel]

That's how you spray in a down draft booth

[@jenstori5746]

I had my hood passenger side door passenger side quarter panel Keyed on a pickup truck but my my rear passenger door is fine

[@81LUKEC]

What's clear coat ?

[@DespiertaVe]

No sealer on bumper ?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I used a 1k Plastic primer and it gives good adhesion as long as the bare plastic has been scuffed back with 800.

[@DespiertaVe]

The Gunman ohh aight.... bro standox paint system is the same as the ppg or dupont ? Here in queens ny some of the shops use ppg , dupont or glasurit .

[@DespiertaVe]

I never had experience with standox

[@TheGunmanChannel]

it was actually Protec 1k plastic primer then Standox over the top.

[@calyfornykid]

Rear Bumper looks like it's a different color to the quarters .

[@BAMugz]

they always will, bumpers from the factory never match either. it's the black undercoat

[@lastingimpressionspainting3787]

Gunman, How many years were you considered an apprentice before you started making money as a Journeyman Painter

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I did a 4 year apprenticeship so I am a Tradesman not a Journeyman, I could go for a Journeyman qual in Panel Beating if I wanted but I don't want it.

[@lastingimpressionspainting3787]

The Gunman I asked because I have also went through an apprenticeship but it took me 6 years to complete as a Bridge/Industrial painter but I would really like to try me hand at painting cars as opposed to water treatment plants and bridges, less hazards

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Yeah less hazards but as you probably know there is a completely different skill set and you'll have to learn some new things but no doubt if you try for long enough then someone will take you on.

[@81LUKEC]

manufacturer's mark clear coat
