Taking Your Direct Gloss To The Next Level

[@mopedwilf2006]

Well this was a surprise ! Did not expect to see my humble old GPz panels on the channel . I'm stuck for words , watched the vid with a tear in me eye seeing such a mesmerising craft ! I'm actually scared to touch them let alone fit them back onto the bike . Can't thank you enough for what you both done for the old girl !

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Hey man and Thankyou buddy see that comment right there fella makes it worth it alone honestly , was happy to help mick bringing it back to life for you , you’ll have to take a ride down on it when it’s done and show it off 😀

Very nice. Would love to see the finished bike. I’m restoring two GPZ550’s myself. Love these bikes. Have two ZR550’s also same as my very first bike in 83 at 18😊 Great paintjob!

It's seriously therapeutic to watch Tony paint ... Calm and steady as she goes!

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Lol thanks man

[@itsgregosworld16]

Great job Tony, we use the same direct gloss /clear finish on our budget resprays. always comes up perfect and will last longer in the brutal aussie sun.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Exactly mate ideal for that

[@stephenlebillon3066]

This is bike enthusiasts gold on how to paint bike panels and what product to use. In my ignorance I used a base and clearcoat on old panels and got every problem you described🤣 in video, thanks for all the help keep them coming.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Ah man always terrible when that happens buddy but you learn from the mistakes and believe me we all make them fella , glad this helped you to buddy

Such a total expert, a joy to watch

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Thankyou

[@ajpepe72]

Fantastic finish 👍 not painted for years but I always used to overthin my clear to get it like glass, worked well. That stuff looks really decent though un-thinned. Wasn’t there talk of banning 2k and going just water based at one point ?

[@saab93contdi]

Such a clever guy..you make it look so easy. Wish i had the room to try out spraying

Thanks Bruce great to see you again too

[@jaediccacairns4754]

Good explanation of the technique to get a deeper shine. Have decided to freshen up my scruffy Carfix van over winter a couple of panels a time so may do this to get a better finish . thanks Tony

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

No problem abs hope your project goes well

Cracking job fella love the rythem you paint at never look hurried

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Nah man always take my time relax and enjoy what I do man

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Great video again Tony very interesting as I still want to try some direct gloss but still haven't got round to it due to me trying to sort out the water base side of things and deciding if a Mini Paint Scheme would be worth getting. Anyway mate you did a fantastic job on those bike panels they came out like glass with the final coat of clear from Multi-Mix 2HS, I love this clear but like you I found you have to trust your finish and trust the clear will flow out to that glassy finish something which I struggled with when I first used it. I give it one fast close but closed coat then let it flash followed by a full wet coat then leave it, it will do the rest for you giving a great gloss at the end 👍

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

yeah couldnt agree more mate il see how it goes as i get to use it more of the next week or so too

[@edmondpower5722]

Very interesting technique, do you think two colour coats plus one clear is better than applying three coats of colour?

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

100% in all honesty as long as the colours covered fully then a coat of clear will give it some protection and give the gloss that bit more life too and a touch extra uv protection over the exposed colour too

[@brianowens2073]

Excellent finish Tony lovely colour mirror finish results 👏👌

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Thankyou brain great to see you here mate hope you are well

I normally clear over dg it leaves it soo nice class job mate 😎👍

[@goharhayat2489]

Hiya pal My car was painted in 2k super red gloss ( toyota colour) a year ago. How do I go about putting a clear coat over this now to give it more protection primarily to stop the typical red fading which tends to happen? Thanks

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

You could wet flat or disc is back so it’s dull and keyed then clear it mate

I mixed 10% clear into my single stage and used an extra 2.5% reducer and it came out awesome

@@TonysRefinishingTV Got it. Thanks my friend. like your paint work :)

[@jakefriesenjake]

So you put on single stage urethane paint? (not base coat, clear coat)?? Then put on a regular clear coat from the base coat, clear coat stuff? Can it be any clear coat you would normally use for base clear, as long as its from the same manufacturer like ppg?

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Yes mate and doesn’t need to be the same manufacturer we can use any automotive clear over the direct gloss / single stage we use

[@jakefriesenjake]

@@TonysRefinishingTV thanks for the quick response! Looks awesome! Great work. I have an 81 Camaro Z28 I've been working on for 16 years (off and on). I did all of the body work but now it's been in the paint shop for the last 8 weeks or so (Windsor, Ontario, Canada.) So yeah, it's been a minute or 2 since I drove that beast.

[@stephenwhite5444]

When you say "direct gloss" is that the same as what I hear called "single stage" or is there a difference?

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Yes mate it’s the same as it’s a one stage system colour and gloss in one basically

[@jumpinjojo]

What's the advantage of doing this versus using base coat then clear?

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Cost , time , paint coverage , reduced risk of reaction on old panels like these there’s quite a few tbh

How do we get in touch with the powder coat guy? Does he do wheels in solid gloss? What about small parts and bike frames?

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

He does everything mate yes and [e-mail]

[@JMMedia]

What do you think about 2 coats of clear over 2 coats of dg? I’d be worried about going through that one coat of clear while denibbing and polishing

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

You could but you’d probably need to extend your flash off times for each coat that little bit more so say maybe 15 mins per coat

[@JMMedia]

@@TonysRefinishingTV thanks man. I’ll try that 👌

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Thanks 🙏

[@matthewsellers82]

Great video, what's the downside of using 2k Gloss? Seems like it's quicker, cheaper and harder wearing.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

So with base and clear the colours protected with 2k gloss like vans are painted in the colours exposed more to uv rays , washing road grime ect ect so although it’s as hard wearing the colour itself tends not to be as much , so hence for say a cheap repaint it’s ideal , or something like this to cut cost but to add that extra layer of protection we can clear it and it’s a quicker process
