Restoration Repairs HQ Holden Ute

[@Velvethamma]

It sucks re-doing other peoples work but the satisfaction of doing it right is priceless for sure! Nice save and great vid as always

[@AllBlast]

Hey gunman iv been watching your uploads for a while now and like everyone else I think you are an incredible teacher I live in Guernsey a small island between the UK and France with not much scope to learn so KZbin has been my saviour from learning to airbrush to watching your videos and learning to paint giving me a chance to start and finish my work off. So I thank you sir for everything you give all us hobby peeps. You now have another regular watcher and a thumbs-upper I'll be asking my questions soon enough

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Warren Margetts Thanks mate, I appreciate it.

[@KaniFuker-Sir]

Awesome work again there with the prepping, wish i'd kept my old Ford P100 pick-up. Thanks again for taking the time to do these and share mate. Nice to see you take pride in your work which shows in your high quality finish.

[@TimsGarage]

Brilliant! can't wait to see the progression of this. I thought of a job I was offered the other week where someone asked me to do a full restoration paint job.... It didn't take to much thinking to say ... NO... this job helps reenforce that decisions. you pay a professional you get a professional job... I can hack away at stuff but a job like this deserves the BEST! Awesome work mate, I don't always comment but I learn tons from your vids.

[@zkris41]

One man army, from bodywork to prepping to paintjobs. gj dude

[@TheGunmanChannel]

daza56 Thanks :-)

[@mattwilliams147]

Hi from the uk! I really enjoy watching your videos thanks for taking the time to make them, if you happen to get time I would love to see how you tackle crowning of panels. Many thanks again for making the vids

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Matthew Williams Thanks mate, the term crowning, is that to do with the english wheel and making panels?

[@jimmyers2543]

Another great video with a lot of useful information on products and how you did it thank you for sharing your love for body work and painting with us.

[@fithypig]

keep up the good work mate I like the longer vids heaps better than the short ones cheers from Victoria

[@TheGunmanChannel]

peter bradshaw My home state, I do miss Victoria and plan on coming back before too long.

[@fithypig]

you'll be back for 5 mins and remember how cold this joint can be lol

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Yeah thats true, easy to forget when its 40 every day.

[@roflman]

ive got a wb wellbody ute that had really wavy rear quarters, got it pretty straight with alot of blocking but just couldn't save those scallop body lines that go over the rear wheel well, looks alright until you see one like this with the lines fully intact. Bloody amazing job you guys did and from perth too no less

[@TheGunmanChannel]

roflman Thanks man, it was one of the owners main concerns so we spent extra time on getting it right for him.

[@stephenwilkie8292]

Yet another great job as all ways. What about having a comp where the winer gets to be shown by you how you do the work that you love so much. Stephen

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Stephen Wilkie Do you mean someone comes and does a days work with me? I will be giving away some of my guns I no longer use and need some ideas of how to do the comp, I thought I could choose a number from 1-100 and get people to guess in the comments first to guess wins, what you think?

[@stephenwilkie8292]

That's a good idea. Just can not wate for your next video.

[@Rick-fs9wc]

Your work brother is of such a high standard. If i lived in perth id come looking for you to paint my car. Another great vid .I dont wach tele anymore hahaha.

[@vreckless817]

Awesome work man! We just finished a 69 dodge charger plum crazy purple but orange peal 😕 For my truck I'm gonna tell my brother to reclear it to get that glass finish when we restore it! Thanks for the video man!

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Alexis Burgos Thanks for watching mate, a big cheers from Perth West Aus :-)

[@SwPiotrek]

Wow! It came out just perfect! Very impressive. For sure this car is great advertise for your body shop. I very like how it look at the end. Greetings from Poland! ;)

[@TheGunmanChannel]

SwPiotrek The customer was so happy that he posted his own add on our behalf.

[@TheMaxweber1]

Nice work, dude! I look forward to part 2 of this video .

[@momcco]

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Mo McCo The owner was so happy when he got it back.

[@RPMX4]

Sterling finish G-Man! That's as pure as it gets. Don't forget us friendly Canadians watching. LOL

[@TheGunmanChannel]

RPMX4 Thanks :-)

[@rigobertovega9865]

Another great video my man! Love watching filler-->paint content. I know you said you had hours of footage, i for one would like to see maybe 2-3 videos with all the footage, and maybe keep the edited version for the casual folk.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Rigo V So you like the idea of a live event, live from my workshop to KZbin? I have been thinking about doing that.

[@rigobertovega9865]

***** yea that would be cool, i rather enjoy videos that are long and in depth and watching the small details that go into a job.

[@eddyone10]

Man awesome video love the work you do I also work at a bodyshop. and I've learned so much stuff from you I'm no way near as good as you are but I'm still learning. Can't wait to see the rest of the videos of that car

[@TheGunmanChannel]

eddyone10 If you love the trade as much as me then in time you will be able to achieve the same results.

[@eddyone10]

The Gunman of course man I love working on cars it's my passion

[@alw968]

Good job gunman I love the long videos

[@253UC]

vids just keep on getting better, thanks for sharing mate :)

[@AMLagonda]

Whooo hooo Painting videos from Perth :D and to top it off I find this a HQ I might try a colour change to my panel van one day (when I build a shed)

[@ddrrp155]

Hey bud. Just a hot tip with bog to stop that gummy bit with bog just give it a wipe over with prepsol or wax and grease remover and blow it dry with ya air gun. Works mint and makes your sand paper last twice as long ! I've been doing this trick for years !

[@TheGunmanChannel]

daniel chapman Never thought of that, I'll give it a go tomorrow, I have some bog work to do on a van.

[@pyrowerks]

awesome what a suprise . im doing up a hq ute . was the last thing i was to expect pop up in your vids lol

[@TheGunmanChannel]

23twentythree23 I now have a HJ Monaro in doing the same treatment :-)

[@pyrowerks]

The Gunman oh nice nice . any vids coming up of it ?

[@joshnolte]

[@ajbull88]

Great job, I love that you tell it as it is...no BS. keep up the great work. Oh, and you have a follower from Beijing , China.....even though I have to use a VPN to watch your channel. KZbin is banned in China.

[@craigdavies69]

[@timothyrogers5758]

[@BarnesysBuilds]

Nice work mate, undertaking a wb styleside as we speak so that will be a valuable resource for the quarters.

[@alinlow]

What do you think about filler upol? any sink in time ?

[@xbadboyplaya143x]

Nice video man love it!! Also if u could I would love to see more masking videos.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

ToxicMind Ok mate will do

[@wencesmontelongo6629]

Nice finish!! What are the best settings for the tekna (u.s) For clear coat to get a smooth finish

[@TheGunmanChannel]

wences montelongo 2-3 turns out fluid full fan and pressure settings will vary greatly depending on the cap you use and temperature.

[@cinthiamendozaalvarado5503]

[@seanbanister6756]

hi I just want to know you think of my HQ holden kingswood sl sedan seting it up for HQ holden racing and I was thinking about strip they car paint all the way back to bear metal with some ghost flame on the left and right side peanl and around the front of the car and just want to know what do you think about that for a car colour or just paint it chrome in sted

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

Ur the shiz bro! Killer sleeve too, ur owning that shit as my son would say! Ur right on he numbers Man U deserve all the success in the world 😎

[@Turk320]

Nice job

[@jonnyfowder]

Great job mate

[@TheGunmanChannel]

chris johnson Thanks mate

[@dongil123]

The Gunman Great work mate, I see you mention U-pol products you should try the sprayable polyester Re-face great for large flat panels but you almost need a hose to apply it, 2.0-2.5 fluid tip, i believe you can roll it on also, I do like most products in the U-pol range even Through to clear coat and with you now in business they dont hurt the pocket to much without scrimping on quality. All the best Mike

[@jhuntosgarage]

I like your work. Thanks for sharing.

[@randallreed9061]

Hey Gunman, I've noticed that on a few of your sprays that you don't have the vent cap closed on top of the cup lid. Do you ever have a problem with any drips coming out?

[@jmcmelendez1654]

love the outcome you are a champion.

[@TheMaximAU]

is there an alternative to using bog?

[@OyunOynuyoruzMami]

Yardimci personel lazim mi . :) Turkiyeden gelirim. Harikasin.

[@AficionadoHQ]

Outstanding job mate!!

[@andrewhill3291]

Hi gunman what brand of topcoat are you using? Looks great from another aussie spraypainter.

[@Jazzmanden]

What do you think about sanding in criss-cross X pattern and circular motion? I heard this should reduce sanding marks.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Jiazi Liu Yes its a good idea it also can help stop sanding lines in one direction.

[@Jazzmanden]

The Gunman Then why you sand in one direction? :D

[@TheGunmanChannel]

because of the shape of the panel

[@Jazzmanden]

The Gunman I get it, thanks :)

[@rohanwindsor1719]

Love your work mate keep it up

[@ThePoleLine]

Your the man mate. Keep it coming bro

[@beasterbunny7746]

were did you get that tank top?

[@mattblack9344]

Try a nice soft rag flat under hand. Helps to feel for imperfections. Sounds funny but it works.

[@mateusoliveira1753]

Good man 🖌

[@LKP836]

ОТЛИЧНАЯ РАБОТА !!!!!!!!

[@stuartsmalley2868]

[@luishi2394948]

Nice t-shirt Gunman jjjjjjjjjj very good job sander.... pon subtitulos en español quisiera entender todo lo q explicas....

[@StevenLopez-ug8ro]

Buen trabajo

[@mariagaspar6346]

Hey Gunman, I am going to re-spray my F100 what grit paper do I use? Are there any guidelines for sanding and use of grit paper? Thanks

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Maria Gaspar Unfortunately there's so many variables that will determine the grit I would recommend but if its just bad paint and no repairs then try starting with something like 320 and feather it then finish with 500 and you can paint over 500 but if you miss any 320 scratches then they will show through after its painted.

[@TheChrisR12]

I'm about to paint a HQ wagon my self (love the HQ model) with the original enamel paint on it do you need to paint strip it off to bare metal or can it be just sanded back and epoxy sealed? also loving the long videos :P

[@TheGunmanChannel]

***** Strip or have it blasted if you want the job done properly.

[@aidenmilne8811]

Hey Gunman... I am thinking about painting my Hz ute in a matt white. Me and a mate will be doing it ourselves though, what paint do you recommend using? cheaper the better as I'm 15 and don't have a lot of money to do it. I know it might sound like a stupid question but I have no idea haha

[@eddiemartinez265]

More fine work from the gunman like he said get out and paint some shit & bog that car.

[@AndrewBitza]

Hey gun............nice T shirt and great job on the car!

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Andrew Moultrie haha, we all love the boobies :-)

[@2superuser]

Very good job man! ;))

[@plinng9329]

what kind of body filler you using?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Plin Ng Wurth

[@quocvbien]

hi mate, what is brand of that filler please?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Brave U-Pol Fly Weight

[@mattwilliams147]

If a panel has been dented ,we call it crowning if another area of the panel has bulged outwards.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Matthew Williams Got ya, I'll be making some videos on that kind of stuff soon.

[@mattcoffill9403]

mint job bro💪💪💪

[@MrP0dTV]

how much would a project like this cost? i wanna fix up a kingswood off like gumtree for my first car, say I pay around $500 for a car that is just dented rusted with some minor engine problems, roughly how much who it cost in total? - thanks

[@wilkinrincon8423]

me gustaria que mi toyota tacoma tuvieras una pintura asi de perfecta...

[@DespiertaVe]

I think 80 is to agressive... with a nice blocking with 180 you have a nice job .

[@markpatrick9311]

Videos are great my guy, but you gotta cross hatch when you block. You'll get a much flatter surface and won't cut edges in from your paper going straight back and fourth

[@sascandave]

Fantastic and you can see the echo in it too . Ha ha

[@pennykobori7145]

Wow

[@poydapoyderson646]

Mate. Please put part numbers on your new vids. They’re so great but having trouble finding groups on this Ute. Love Aussie content. Love learning AND Love utes and vans and sick of watching camaros and mustangs.

[@bolekapone]

Nice! Can't wait to see the top coat! But seriously wear a paper mask while sanding a putty or primer, that dust is bad for you and you know it !!! or just mention it for the young viewers! Tnx! Keep up the good work!

[@davidmccrory5604]

Well urr .....yer ummm that arrr video was ummm great 👍.

[@lucianocollu1165]

Exelent, exelent, exelent!!!! ;-)

[@markawoodbridge]

Are you priming over 80? ?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

markawoodbridge 120, but fill over 80

[@803brando]

very slow reducer sometimes works on those hot days.

[@geormorris]

niiiiiceeeeee job. that paint looks sick and them panels look flat as shit I mean that in a good way. just so everyone know/s .Did you cut & buff after paint?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

geo morris Yes we polished the whole car but only de nib not flatten, it was flat enough off the gun

[@carlheath1814]

A bit disrespectful mate having your girlfriend on ya t shirt ! 😂😂😂 Great work as usual mate keep em coming

[@nuclearbum9858]

thought i was the only one notice the t-shirt..who is the guy using the logo????

[@TheGunmanChannel]

CONCRETE MONEY He's just a loser man, not even worth telling you who he is.

[@g.posselt]

ok First of all Tnks for all and congrats... I just love your videos. I really will stole your gunswahs machine idea Not i really need your help... KKK OK so i saw a lot of guys placing bondo along all the surface. It looks wrong for me but anyway should i do this? second thong if i place bondo in a medium place respecting the 1/4" max dept how will i procide after that? I need to place a washprimer in the metal, I just pass whit wash primer over the bondo, I place the wash primer before working whit bondo? OK again tanks see ya

[@MegaAnibar]
