Respect right there yet again! I have watched a fair few videos since happily subscribing to the channel and this is by far my favourite. Not just for great tutorial but for the inspirational attitude and advice you share. You tell it how it is encourage others to learn from their mistakes. "pick, dust yourself off and push hard". Fantastic content. In my opinion as a professional painter one of the best channels on KZbin 🤜🤛😎

[@thetriggerman954]

Man I really do appreciate that. You always have encouraging words brother. You're greatly appreciated here. 🤜🏼🤛🏼 These are the comments that keep my fire lit to keep pushing.

[@beachcitymobile]

TriggerMan you don't need to make any apologies for the camera. We got front, side, POV, and final completion shots. We good. : ) You're doing great, brother - especially considering that you've only been doing this for 3 weeks. Love the narration throughout the video while you explain everything you're doing. That goes double for when there's a problem and you work though it. While you can learn *some* things from seeing textbook processes and outcomes, you can only learn so much. That won't be of much help to you though, when something causes it to go off the rails, and you're in the middle of a job with no idea how to handle it. Learning how to deal with the problems that can occur, and then knowing how to handle them and overcome them takes knowledge and experience, and it's what becoming a master of something is all about. Thanks for sharing that knowledge and experience with us. Oh, and I'll bet that painter that papered up the windows was also a real di^^head too, huh? I was a Master Tech for years, and I learned that the guys that don't like being watched are also the guys that are usually very insecure about their work, OR they are trying to keep you from learning something from them because they perceive you as a threat. Same thing goes for questions. Anytime you hear something like, "You ask a lot of questions' or "Why do you always ask so many questions', or 'You know, you ask too many questions', it's because of one of two things - Either THEY don't know the answer, or they don't want YOU to know the answer. Someone who's good at what they do and confidant in their knowledge and ability won't do that, because if they don't already know the answer they're curious to find out too. That's a *real* professional. Keep it coming man. You're doing great.

I had an 09 with a 3" lift and 35" tires, 6k watt stereo system, it was probably one of the best vehicles I've owned. Stayed out in Phoenix at that time and had it off road every weekend. The only downside to them is the fuel mileage especially with the bigger tires.

[@bosshawg7427]

It's Kapci. It's not really a no-name clear. It's just mostly marketed & sold overseas. They like the low VOC thick stuff so they tend to add reducer or warm it up in a bucket of hot water to help thin it before spraying

[@embee1973]

Lol, you know your stuff sir. I also over the years have encountered painters that have been uncomfortable around me. That paper over the window story takes me back😂. Luckily I’ve had a lot of great painters that have taught me a lot over the years too. I’m spraying water base and had an issue dialling in my DV1s and spraying at lower PSI like 16 made my color matches slightly different, usually darker. Are you shooting solvent or water base? I’ve finally got the two DV1’s dialed in and I love them now as much as my Supernovas but it took me a while to get used to them. Thanks for the realness sir🫡

[@thetriggerman954]

I'm spraying solvent base. And yea I love the DV1 base gun. But that clear gun is 👎🏼for me. Lol toooo Slow 🐢 Thank you for watching 💪🏼

[@embee1973]

@@thetriggerman954 I have the same complaint. I went from running around a vehicle with my Satas and Supernovas, to walking and sometimes crawling around a vehicle. Great gun, but for the amount I paid for it, and all the hype man’s were giving it before I bought it, I was disappointed. I’ve adjusted my spraying when I’m using it, and it does work great on blends, but ya both the clear and base gun don’t seem to lay out right without ALOT of effort. Keep up the good work, you make a brother want to grab a camera and start posting lol, maybe when I get some time. Stay blessed sir🙏🏿 Edit: I’m shooting at about 22psi wide open with a 3/4 fan 1.4 tip on the DV1 base gun for water base. If I squirt single stage for a solid color I switch to 1.4 tip and my pressure goes to 25psi. The gun seems to like that range. Just in case you ever have to squirt water base through it.

Thank you 💪🏼 they both are great guns. It depends on your painting style. If you like to paint fast then iwata w400 but if you don't mind painting slower the DV1 will give you the superior finish. So DV1 lays down clear much smoother but you'll have to move slow. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching

The black comes in a base gun and a clear gun. The clear has gold on it and the base has blue on it. Gun body doesn't indicate anything. Some silver some black. It's the rings around the cap and the fluid knob is what indicates base or clear.

I had the same experienced that you mentioned the best painter actually use a masking paper to block the spray booth windows just to keep away from me looking at how they painted. Its kinda weird to see mostly old skool painter has these kind of attitude and not really keen to teaching apprentice. Anyway good point you had there mate on using extra slow reducer for laying down metallic. For my area its always hot year round, and we can get away with slow reducer. Not sure what paint scheme u had, but i think with proper mixing ratio and slow reducer it can lays metallics down smooth

[@thetriggerman954]

If you're implying that I had an "improper mixing ratio" that's 1000% not the case. My spray booth is about 60 years old made out of concrete with a flat deck roof. Direct sun hitting from all sides. It gets super hot in there. It's just a different situation. But thanks for watching.
