Clear Coat Respray

[@kustomerkare5162]

PPGs D8173 HS Clearcoat, very minimal almost no orage-peel outa gun, higher pressure with higher volume, care for runs. Will flow out over and hour but self leveling to a point. Cold temp, low pressure,low volume and wet basecoat sinkback will give orange-peel look. But to really get rid of orangel-peel you need to wet rub the last clear coat with something like 2000 till its smooth az and then do a final flow coat over the top.

[@ray6652]

Hi,I don't think you have to worry about your logo.I no its your;s but i have been watching your videos.And mate you are a professional paint sprayer.Also your videos help people like myself.I think everyone who watches will agree with me.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

ray6652 Thanks mate, since this video he was forced to remove it anyway :-)

[@chidexkofi8789]

Keep on doing the best job my real gee DIY GUYS ARE THE BEST AND AM PROUD TO BE ONE OF THEM

[@Velvethamma]

I like the idea of walking around the car and ending up where you started - then melting the dry spray off with blending solvent / fade out reducer. Keeps from getting lost for sure... or constantly dragging the hose back and forth

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Yeah I've been doing it this way for a while now and always get great results.

[@arturobolanos9080]

Gunny,Your videos are the best of all the Paint Refinishers. I gave you a thumbs up.

[@marcdriggers3335]

I have always wanted to learn how to paint a car. This is something I have been wanting to learn for a long time, I am almost 34 now and I have been wanting to do this since I was 15 and to one day open my own custom auto shop. Australia has been one of the places that I have wanted to visit.

[@clo289]

Frm California Been able to paint numerous cars as a first timer with your vids. Awesome work. Thank you!!!

[@bigal1568]

Don't forget Hawaii Dude, we watch you here.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Big Al I may have to come say hi one day, Hawaii looks like a nice spot

[@ThatV12MiataBruh]

I love the confidence you have when shooting the paint

[@shaerobins4530]

Good stuff gunner. So true about not lowering due to costs . I hear this one alot oh my car isnt worth that much. I myself paint so many things for cheap but it doesn't pay for the time away from my daughter

[@wednesday1343]

your a top class painter, I done a lot of refinishing years ago an its good to watch other peoples techniques only thing I wish Id see you doing is wearing a full cover all for your safety while dealing with isocyanides in 2k paint it absorbs through the skin as well even if a 2k paint says its free from them they still have a small amount in them as they cant truly be free from them.

[@gordonclark7632]

More than happy to give you the thumbs up! Mainly because I love watching your work.

[@garydv8888]

I am a newcomer to the painting of cars using low pressure guns and compressors but i am very happy to see what great results can be achieved using gravity guns and a good coating or three of clear coat, after watching these videos i feel so much more confident about tackling such jobs although a little more testing as we in the uk do not see as much sun or get the heat therefore i am relying on a good heater and a large marquee to work in, with a couple large cool air fans spun around to draw out any over spray, all a bit suspect i do agree but when on a budget with a compressor costing around 90 squid and a 40 pound gun well if anything it will be a great day if i can get anything near a shine on my base coat, if not ill keep the hose handy and the car wet, just take it out late at night. great vids Gunman really appreciate your time on them. cheers bud

[@Jim-fe2xz]

Another great job! The color is perfect on that car. Another thumbs up!

[@patrickfinn5887]

Finally someone who knows what there doing!!!

[@Rab_1967]

You must be pleased with that outcome, Gunny! The car prior to bog and paint looked like it had just done 3 tours of Afghanistan! Nice one ;-)

[@KaniFuker-Sir]

I was only searching for a video on replacing a passenger wing last night and stumbled across your videos. Subscribed after first video and enjoy watching, fantastic job there mate from start to finish. Thanks for uploads, appreciate.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Kani Fuker Great to have you onboard, feel free to ask any questions and we'll do our best to help out.

[@KaniFuker-Sir]

Funnily enough I'm getting my Cruisers roof sprayed and searched spray painting, found this and we're both in Perth! Although it's bucketing down right now.

[@abbye8482]

You have such a talent! I never knew all that went into this! Thank you for the lessons!

[@standtallvets5386]

Great job on the Echo!! I own one over here in the U.S. that I just painted with the paint code 583 which is called Satin Gold. Its not the shade that's different, it is a different coloring in the gold all together. Had I seen your video first, would have tried the 581 just to see the difference in the two Toyota gold colors.

[@zanaga1901]

Will just repainting an entire vehicle with clearcoat only to make it shine well am gonna do some spots gonna color blend though this weekend but I have clear from last year though.

[@Val-mm5gd]

I've learned lots from your vids, i have a devilbiss tekna prolite and its my favorite gun, anyone in the trade should own one....anyways another great vid, your a very talented painter.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Valer Vitak Totally agree, best gun on the market and reasonably priced too.

[@nuclearbum9858]

its 4 degrees and we are up to 100 inches of snow here in upstate ny...i cant wait to play with my guns if the spring ever comes

[@TheGunmanChannel]

CONCRETE MONEY I saw on the news a few weeks ago there was a massive blizzard in the US, makes it hard to paint in those conditions even if you have a heated oven, you have to pre heat the panels by baking them and the paint too.

[@agimkhaled]

Mate. What a great spray painter you are. I have learnt a lot. Thank you for your youtube videos. All the best.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+agimkhaled no problem man, thanks for watching

[@SwPiotrek]

Great video! Thanks Gunman! It's cool that you talk about work shop stories, problems etc. Some time ago I was surprised that Duxone products in Australia are sold with Standox name plate. While here in Poland (and probably in EU) are sold with DuPont name plate. Reason of that is Axalta owns both Dupont (Cromax) and Standox brands. Duxone HS is ok clear, but I don't like it to much. We can buy better clear coats for better money. Like Novol 570 and 590. Or slightly more expensive Spectral MS.

[@ronniefrankland8517]

[@TresMamboMusicSchool]

Excellent tip about the DIY "dryspot" remover ! Now GM you are always telling us how we have to "get our eyes in the reflection" to see how the paint is going down..." Maybe you could teach us about tips and tricks on lighting for paint? Are there some general rules on angles as to HOW to light a job if you are not in booth. What sorts of lights and globes are best for painting?...stuff like that ! Cheers Pete in sunny Malta

[@TheGunmanChannel]

TresMamboMusicSchool The best lighting is fluorescent globes either side of the car "parallel" the more the better and high too, basically try to mimic the same lighting as in a booth, I will be doing a vid on my booth soon so I'll try include some info like that in it. Patiently waiting on "The Gunman Theme Song" :-)

Hey. I've been watching your videos, and I've got to tell you : You have become my own personal mentor :) I really enjoy it!! But I've one request, could you start to mark your videoseries with "part 1" and so on, cause it would make it way easier to find the right one :) keep it coming... cheers from Norway.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Kim Ulriksen Thanks man, I used to but since I have found that views do drop off when doing that and KZbin even don't recommend it, I do include it in the description though. Maybe I will put the video number at the end of the title and see how that goes.

[@popcorn4465]

already did thanks:) I'll post the results for you to look at. but I must say thanks for posting some really good videos good job

[@TheGunmanChannel]

No probs mate, just keep in mind this shop cost near $100 a day to rent insure and power. Metallic clear over base and 2k clear $600 that's a massive discount too and 4lt 2k primer $150. 2 cans of bog $80, sandpaper etc...

I resrpayed my car recently and ended up with that dry spot where i ended with, and didnt see this video in time to know i could use that extra thinner trick you used. Will that buff out flat again? Thanks a million and keep your passion going. No one else like you.

[@johnpolitis655]

great job mate

[@ericmiller794]

To the Gun man. Firstly I would like to say a big Thank you for doing all the video's I'm just starting out in spray painting and i'm so hooked I've got the 2K solvent in my blood and I can't get enough of spray painting. Your Video's have helped me heps can you do a video on a step by step of a candy show car finish please if you have the time. Thanks again for all your hard work. Eric

[@RayTitske]

pretty nice job u did

[@arturobolanos9080]

Hi Gunman, on your next video, can you use the Iwata Air Gunza with the 1.3 tip? Look forward to your videos. Art

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Arturo Bolanos I only have the 1.8mm Airgunsa sorry but I have only just purchased 3 more guns so I can review them so it does get expensive.

[@santiagorubio3863]

The Gunman Thanks Gunny for your consideration.

[@mnaeem9064]

very nice job

[@zanaga1901]

I sanded down my metallic paint down to 400 grit but now it doesn't look right was trying to get rid of the orange peel but also had used a 1.7 tip after my other spray gun was messing up a 1.3 or 1.4 but now I think be just better repainting the whole truck again. But sand down lower than 400 grit about 220 grit then after clean the whole truck and mask off vehicle put some adhesion promoter first then spray basecoat again. It is one spot I could use more body filler that didn't get when painted it before but will have to be on a time that ain't humid after 1 pm today it wasn't humid but last time painted it did get humid under 48 hours after painted my truck. I wanna be to do the job right on my vehicle but next time paint wanna be around more lighting too and more space in the garage not enough light plus I did get paint on the floor too. I used the pps cup system and the cup fell off I have gotten use to the pps system now though putting the cup on. But making lots of mistakes when painting still even though only started trying to paint since last year on old truck. I applied at a auto detailing job online because I feel soon will be leaving the job where at now doing cleaning a school which not making enough I don't have auto painting and detailing experience and I see some online you have to have experience but am a beginner so have to get the experience first.

[@RLNTEX]

You are very good.

Awesome Bra ,,, from Canada ! Cheers

[@sergeantmajordyi7049]

great video brother. what's your take on just doing clear coat only on car. don't need painting since its always been garaged. but after a few nicks were covered up I would like to recoat the clear coat to bring back that new car look. is this wise?

[@davidfortin9097]

thank you for these videos and tips, etc......screw the negative and haters

[@BaseyEmir]

thanks man ,I've learned a lot from you ..thumb up!

[@plinng9329]

Hi, after I spray the last coat ,I realise a lot of solvent pop. can you let me know how to repair and fix it. Should I repaint the clear coat or any solution?

[@stemmeup9040]

I did that with a too heavy coat on my trunk with a cheap gun. Sanded down with a DA sander with an interface pad with 2000 grit dry. After I compounded that out, I only ended up with a couple small ones left. Given, I had three coats of clear on so I knew I wasn't going through to the base. I Did the same with my question above, only I wet sanded, then buffed.

[@hogman2461]

Plin Ng best things to do is sand it like you would for clearing and wait a couple of days and then re-clear.

[@stuartsmalley2868]

Great job .

[@oscarontiveros5117]

Please elaborate on the mixture of the fade out clear

[@philliptickner-wand3004]

hi love the videos just a quick question do you use a high solid clear coat or an ms type as if I put Cromax 3800s clear on that heavy on the first coat it would be on the floor.

[@mattarnold198]

On the subject of stolen content: that tune at the end is being used by a guy called FailRace as his channel's theme tune - not sure whose it is but I recognized it instantly!

[@itchman4530]

The Gunman No I wasn't meaning that lol. fuck the haters!. It was when the airline got hooked up in the back wheel when ur trying to keep that flow coat going.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

haha, now I get ya yeah it sucks :-)

[@michaelcarlson4932]

Looks like your putting it on pretty thick.

[@brandongallegos6402]

Yeah I know how it is when bastards steel from my shop and you don’t want to be that guy gunny your a bad ass painter keep the haters hating 🤙🏽

[@mattarnold198]

From what you were saying about clear coat always leaving orange peel but then polishing always leaving scratches - would you say you can get a better finish polishing off the orange peel or not if you've used the correct spraying technique for your clear coat? I've seen a lot of videos where people polish off the orange peel and as far as I can tell, it looks better after - is this just down to poor application of the clear coat though?

[@flashautodetailproducts3815]

Great video. I am painting my Cadillac Brougham. I shot 2 coats of matrix ms-42 clear coat on it. I had a few runs and a lot of orange peel. That was 36 hours ago. My 12-24hr recoat window is gone. I wet sanded the runs and now want to put a few more coats of clear on the car. Do I need to wet sand the car smooth before the last coats of clear?

[@japanesesmurfgod6336]

Idol, how much grit do you use to remove the old cear coat? And how? Wet or dry? Please reply thank you!!!!

[@Taylor-uw4sm]

Hey gunman! How much basecoat do you recommend to paint a van, solid white

[@petiewheatstraw8537]

Gunman I never went to school for this so kinda learning on my own. Can you tell me how you can continue to clear the same spot over and over and not have any runs? Are you waiting between coats? I have a problem with making my paint and clear run. Is it the reducer type? Just have to say that you are good with that camera too! Thanks for your help.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Petie Wheatstraw Thanks, flash off times are important and don't forget I am in a very hot place so that helps stop runs and yes thinning too much wont help, have you seen my video on "how to use a viscosity cup"? if not just type it into a search and you should find it.

[@SaltLakeCityUCE]

Hi, Great job! Did you start your second coat of clear just as you finished the first, or was there a time lapse between coats? Thank you for your videos, thumbs up, you're helping me to be a better painter.

[@RGD-Audio-Repairs]

thumbs up or down, doesnt matter.... Means absolutely nothing.. Thumps up and down both means viewership, Which is good for channel growth...

[@carloanaya5859]

Could I used 2k paint for plastic punnel for a indoor tream of a car,or what kind of gun do u used for high gloss clear like what I used here in Philippines is Cristal clear

[@josephknnd]

Great vids thanks! Can i ask - how long time period did you wait after finishing spraying the base coat to starting spraying the clear coat?

[@chig9357]

good job!

[@chukkaskate]

hey gunman, what's the difference between clear coat hardener and activator? also, what is a good 1k clear coat that is durable?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

johnbeer678 Some paint companies give it a different name from what I know, but some activators are used in acid etch primers where it is 2 part but will never go fully hard in the gun like 2 pack with hardener, sorry I couldn't be much more help but for more info ask a technical paint rep.

[@zkris41]

Doesn't the clearcoat make your skin tingly? Seems like evrytime I spray clear without a suit It gets really itchy lol

[@adriansantos4280]

It is ALWAYS VERY HOT here in Texas...what clear do you recommend?

Adrian Santos Depends on your budget and desired quality but duxone plus is a pretty good budget clear dupont 696S is a great mid range and Glasurit hs 255 or 209 is the top of the line.

[@oscare.quiros6349]

I have a question, as a get ready to paint me old car. Do you sand down the last basecoat before your first clearcoat?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Oscar Quiros no, if you did that you'd have visible scratches under the clear.

[@oscare.quiros6349]

So, I assume you just wait a few minutes and start with the clearcoat. Thanks a million. Cheers

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Oscar Quiros More like 10-20 minutes to let the solvents release, that'll depend on the temperature and what basecoat you're using. Good luck.

[@oscare.quiros6349]

Our median noon temperature here is about 30 celcius. So, I will give it some 10 minutes before the clearcoat. Thanks.

[@5xgreentv33]

How many layers do you put on
