Awesome looking work space! Looks like the owner is not afraid to give his people the best.

[@mitchellferre1652]

I dumped PPG decades ago. For me, it was the constant development that antiquated most of the product on my shelf and it got too expensive. As a DIY , by the time I figured out how to make it work everything changed again.. Sweet looking shop !

[@travlite8496]

I have no problem with PPG been certified since 97

[@robertcrew2209]

Just a quick question does this shop do collision type work because I haven't seen any space or equipment that could handle any such work? Secondly why all the total resprays on virtually new cars ? Thanks Bob

[@Jahrome3278]

Too right there Gunny 👍🏾 we shouldn't have to be having that trouble,for something thats usually straight forward

[@retrobeliever]

This is incredible!!! Really enjoying watching your vids, nice to see something new and interesting my friend.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

That's cool mate thanks again. How you've been well, I believe it's nice and warm there in America at the moment. While I'm freezing in winter 🥶

[@retrobeliever]

@@TheGunmanChannel oh yes my friend, it’s 100 today in Texas lol…Stay warm there, and safe!

[@barrysmith5466]

One hell of a workshop gunny but I think you really need another spray booth to use while one is on bake ,keep the vids coming while I keep collecting my guns .

[@jimclarke1108]

Thought you tidied your shed up😁

[@dogger37JC]

Colad Snap Lid System works better with water base toners from my experience. I worked with Sikkens water base for many years and we had a lot of issues with 3M PPS and the grit you’re referring to. Switching to Colad made a big difference. Sata are good too.

[@solomonquinn1041]

I find the snaplids are very easy to strip the plastic threads. Sometimes leaks from the vent too

[@alanjones99]

We had ppg at tafe, and even the lecturers teaching how to use the system would struggle to colour match. Sometimes half a day would be gone just trying to get colours right. 😅 not user friendly. But least most jobs are resprays happy days 👌💯

[@SteeleyB]

bro if it’s taking people half a day to match colour i think they are the issue 😂

[@lsbrushnpaint5847]

I am from Indonesia ..... You are may fans, and always look your good jobs Mr❤

[@wotnoturbo]

Most paint manufacturers seem to be optimizing thinning ratios to comply with VOC content, they usually require way more reducer than stated, on solvent based of course, i have no experience with water based.

[@tcusdin]

I really enjoyed this video.

[@miceinoz1181]

Having a boss that wants it done right and gives you the tools to achieve this is becoming more rare these days. I would love working in a place like that. Pity you cannot give the business a shout out, might give you more work.......if you want it. If not, then maybe a PPG reps job is more your style?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Lol that's a weird way to look at it, I either have to tell everyone where I work or work for PPG? I say no to both, I'm happy doing what I'm doing, I guess that's why I'm doing it. But I appreciate your continued support.

[@JR-ho5qm]

I wonder if there 15% reduction is to meet VOC compliance

[@TheMirrorify]

I get on pretty well with enviro. Do you prefer the 105 for completes? One of my only criticisms is I reckon the 136 skins over too fast for completes and can pinch.

[@nickjoiner450]

I enjoy these vids gunny they make a nice change. I’m still using original pps cups probably too tight to buy new adapters

[@gabrielnieves5814]

Hey where can I get that DV1? I can’t find that color.

[@JohnJonesJohn-x2h]

Like !

[@edbrown84]

I find ppg a real headache to use. I much prefer axulta, glasturit or sikkens.

[@chrismclean2366]

Hey Gunner whats your thoughts on middle aged apprentices? im 34 and looking into applying for spray painting apprenticeships here in melbourne

[@Realism91]

I love that you call them just Systems somehow the word "lean" "kanban" "agile" bugs me... I just don't like things named with acronyms. My uncle was part of Moosehead beers kanban team and he sets up systems on everything it never stops here can't just do something even in his personal life.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I don't follow mate. That went way over my head, get more specific.

[@esijamali7304]

👌👌👌👌👍🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷

[@rodney9585]

Over priced paint mate and no support.and colours in solvent are absolutely rubbish.

[@YootubeUK]

Mega place, Gunny. Glad you're happy working there. Cool tour!

[@TheHumblePaintSprayer333]

that's a lovely set up man, definitely understand your frustrations, its not on that you should have to show them that there methods have flaws, the data sheets sometimes just have to tick boxes for the environment but dont work in the real world, is there a panel shop, does your shop do crash repair or is it more paint warranty stuff, it looks a really nice place to work thanks for showing it, it looks top notch and really quality focused

[@Veggedoutman]

Now uses ppg clear coats and find it great❤

[@dimitridam1249]

Nice tour...awesome work shop..and your explane on ppg is super...like your way of teaching...

[@megaman4201]

I've used PPG for 30 plus years, always have to wrestle with it for optimal results. Now only doing on the side, that's an incredibly useful insight about the envirobase being under deluded, will try reducing 25% the next time I have to use it. TC in Annapolis MD

[@theirishman088]

wow, that looks like a beautiful shop. I hope it all works out in that place. We used PPG for the past 12 years and we had pretty good luck with it matching gm cars but it takes awhile to get use to. Good luck out there!! you got it!

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Very nice place you work at there Gunny, it's great to see that the management seems to look after their workforce and that you have good extraction for the prep work and even an area dedicated for prime ups with it's own curtain and extraction. You would think that PPG would be all over you if there is an issue with the paint and work with you to find a fix, after all it's their reputation on the line🤷‍♂👍John UK

[@kevinhekers2380]

Thats a state off the art shop gunny , i used ppg a couple off times when i had a try out week at a resto shop but he also did collision work it was not bad but also not great , the main thing i like about it is that its easy to blend with cromax pro what i normally use it can be a real battle to blend out some off their silvers it looks terrible in the booth but ok outside not perfect but acceptabel, each paint system has its + sides and down sides

[@SebastianPaint]

Guys I’ve been a paint rep for now 4 different paint system companies (currently AkzoNobel & PerfectCoat) and I can tell you that the color match of PPG will give pretty much the same amount of problems as any other system because they all have basically the same formula data base. Unless you have a spectrometer scanner and a good eye and idea for tones and variations you really cannot trust just the paint system.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I could teach a monkey to use Axalta on 90% of the colours you just mix and paint

[@edgardocabrera163]

Seeing that shop how beautiful and organize it was im gonna move to australia from canada

[@awsasher5090]

That place looks like Disney world compared to the closet I work at I wish we had a place like this in Florida

[@ioanioan7628]

I worked with Nexa Autocolor Aquabase which is basically the same system as PPG and I had the same problems. we work in parallel with Glasurit 90 line and 22 line, it was a pleasure to work with Glasurit and the paint chips were spot on. But with Aquabase it was quite complicated

[@austinthebeast33]

I spray sikkens autobase and never have any problems but the boss is talking like he is wanting to switch to sikkens Autowave 2.0 and it is making me nervous . I’ll be heart broken I have so many sprayout cards in my library it isn’t even funny . I don’t really ever have to do sprayout cards much anymore unless it is a newer color and the thought of having to restart my collection of sprayout cards is crazy to me

[@joedonaghue2952]

i reckon LOWBAKE makes one of the best spraybooths around !

[@AChampagneWeezy]

Black lids are for solvent and blue is for waterborne

[@luizcarlosoliveirabarreto1949]

Beautiful place.

[@Pointyman77]

I’m first for once 🥲

[@JR-nw4to]

CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉

[@bena6852]

When enviro is part of a sales pitch, normally means does not work or is conforming to un reasonable epa standards

[@Jahrome3278]

😅😁👌🏾

[@mpsteel9591]

It's an old gun, not sure if you'd ever find one in AUS but the iwata lph-400 1.3 with an orange cap, is a clear laying monster and I haven't found a gun to outdo it yet

[@545545sjk]

I have this gun and I agree

[@markmikheyev6730]

We paint 800 hours minimum a month and have no major color issues. Iwata lph 400 orange cap 1.3 at 20 psi then 15 psi control coat. Matches the color chips dead on

[@tylerbrooks2266]

Man, I used to spray envirobase for years and you do the same things that I used to do, mix in mixing cup, double strain into pps, so much tinting! I got really used to it and it was fine but definitely a waste of mixing cups! Spraying basf rm onyx now and have none of these problems

[@ANDY-we7mr]

Gunny hope your well and safe good video off the work shop very well explained thanks for sharing that information 👍

[@SteeleyB]

i have no issues with the 105 going on bake straight away at 60, it must be an application problem

[@ricardoalexandrecostaolive7776]

Sin huevos no hacemos tortillas, con un buen taller , buenas condiciones ,se hacen buenos trabajos , saludos de Portugal

[@anashelwe8413]

hey gunman. can you make a video for us talking in it about the environment on the work shops and how to deal with the toxic workshop or the toxic bosses that they don't appreciate your work what ever you do and they always suspeshis on you for example if you sick and you want to take days off to get better and to rest they always think you are a liar and dont trust on you . Perhaps you can tell us about some situations that happened with you personally in some workplaces or with some bosses

[@andybussa1323]

If your boss is toxic,leave,they don't deserve you

[@petebanham4916]

Even better, become your own boss. It’s challenging but rewarding.

[@megaman4201]

If you're going to be an automotive painter you have to get out of that take off whenever you want mindset cuz when you're not there the entire shop suffers, "want to take days off to get better and rest," absolutely not, better find a different line of work where you can take off more liberally. TC in Annapolis MD 30 yrs collision refinish experience

[@cpzmelbs]

@@megaman4201 that’s ridiculous lol. does someone need to be going into palliative care before it’s okay to have time off? Do you have any leave entitlements where you are?

[@gofastwclass]

If you are in a toxic environment, put some effort into resolving it and if that doesn't work it is a good time to find a new space without the negativity. Your health and happiness will appreciate it.

[@davidsnowball2981]

PPG reps won't know shite

[@curtispooler6497]

Nice shop ppg good to go.

[@LFMcD]

Hey Gunny. So, will your boss be talked around to changing the system to Standox or is it not that simple? Great workshop tour. 👍

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Not that simple, big business deals at play unfortunately. Trust me I've tried 😆

[@LFMcD]

@@TheGunmanChannel thanks for your reply Gunman. Need an apprentice there? Happy to move to the chilly south. 🥶

[@TheGunmanChannel]

@@LFMcD we're always looking for staff. Where are you from?

[@LFMcD]

@@TheGunmanChannel Brisbane but willing to move to get the right opportunity

[@TheGunmanChannel]

@@LFMcD don't do it, Melbourne sucks 😆

[@domokun900]

also dont trust their g1 shade in ppg, its more like a g3 to our spraychips.

[@bowlofsoup12]

G1 sealer is white bro. What are you talking about. If you wanna gripe about any of the G shades it should be g7. G7 sealer should be black. Not dark gray like it is.

[@domokun900]

We use metal sprayout chips that are color shaded through g1 to g7. the g1 in ppg matches the g3 colorchips, so colormatching weak colors will come up darker that the color chip. I've screwed up a couple of reds and yellow because of this.

[@travlite8496]

Don't you guys have frame machine's?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

What's that? A frame machine

[@travlite8496]

@@TheGunmanChannel Frame Machine to correct damage if frame is hurt in accident

[@TheGunmanChannel]

@@travlite8496 oh, we call that a pulling rack in Australia, but we have one in the next factory.

[@travlite8496]

Most of are bumpers in America come mismatched from the factory---The insurance company's won't pay for blending the panels it's up to us to get as close as we can and well that's time consuming and NOT are responisibility to match a bumper that doesn't match in the first place.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

@@travlite8496 we've been through all that customers never notice the difference until after we paint it but ultimately we do get them pretty good usually. I had one person tell me that the bumper we didn't paint didn't look like that before the accident 😆 I'm like mate, we painted the front bumper not back 😆
