Hi Gunny, being able to lay down a glassy flat finish when you need to and a very peeley finish is a sign of a professional painter but it must go against the grain for a painter like yourself when you have to put on a bad finish. Your painting skills are second to none Sir👏🙏👍John UK
Another great episode gunny, i received my new ANI 1.3 Compact spray gun and my gunman spray suit in the mail the other day from the UK, so im looking forward to using my new kit 😊 regards John
nice finish on that when you look back at new cars in the early 70's HQ etc the finish was quite poor from factory lots of orange peel the newest clear i used is amazing compared to the old dulon acrylics the system has changed so much in the last 40 yrs
Awesome vid and very helpful. Especially for collision work. I needed that as well. I can get very good flat finish, but to achieve factory peel have not practiced much.
I’m cutting and buffing my clear coat I sprayed a few days ago I hand sanded with 2000 then 3000 trizac on a DA then 5000 and on to a easy buff only to see pig tails brand new paper I don’t even understand how 3000 could leave pig tails the dark blue shows everything! Thanks for your great content your videos are what made me get a Pro lite .
most cars if not all have orange peal some colors are worse then others. its there for a reason to hide blemishes its trade painting in uk its simply called grip and rip 1 semi coat or very thin. then 1 full coat. the paint should match the orange peal we not looking for flat finishes. using satajet 1.2RP HS clear medium activator 5% thinners
Thumbs up... Funny thing is this video helped me realize what I was doing wrong while trying to get a good finish. As you were going throu the steps I was thinking, thats what I do evey time... 🤣😅 This kind of video helps more then when you are told just what to do right insted of realizing what you are doing wrong. Great video, thanks. Keep making great content, cheers mate 🍻
Hi Gunnie, I too have a pro lite with TE20, what tips / settings would you have for achieving the flattest finish with liquid glass? Or should I just get the T110
This is why i won't paint correct a car ever again. If the paint is too perfect, you'll have to do a hell of a lot of work to match the finish if you have to repaint a panel.
I can say loved the learning experience i had working with gunny. A book of knowledge in the trade. Better then going to tech school. Haha funny you say this i use to always get a peely finish but now i know how to spray correctly, would be hard to go back to having to spray a peely coat of clear. The brain wouldn't want to allow it 😅😅
hey boss, can I use reducer 10% on fast/air dry clear coats? I`m struggling to find a good clear to work with at my garage without baking and not having to wait 2 days to get it fully dried.
Not so much with clear over base but i really struggle to make 2k ( traditional 2k) look good. Always has a slight orange peelish finish. Dont have a decent booth at work, no temp, basicc fan etc. I watch many vids but i still cant seem to get it good. Sadly ive been doin it for many years. Not cars but panels, Furniture etc... the bigger my panels the worse the finish. **nb** i think ill try little higher pressure, slightly lighter first coat and see how it turns out.
I use the t110 for my flat finish and a tight peel, if I do a bmw or something along these lines, I use the te20 and lower the pressure to get that shitty peel, works a treat for me like that but hurts my eyes to do such a thing!!
No such things as rambling, when an expert is talking. Everything you are saying, is important, to someone. Even though you may be repeating or think it is not relevant, someone (me many times :) will glean something. And I always do Gunny. I hate to say it, but your "crappy" orange peel, still looks stunning. Ha ha ha. Great Vid Mate!!
I painted my whole car with help from your channel. But i know thats only 20% of the knowledge....texture matching and colour blending , and fixing fkups is a WHOLE other range of skills
G'day Mr Gunman, Your rambling is always a treat. This video, Some very interesting technical information. Thanks for sharing the knowledge man. ✌️ Peace from Melbourne/Pakenham 3810.
If only someone with your understanding painted my Mazda 😅 From factory my soul red is quiet orange peely Had it fixed under insurance. Don't get me wrong the paints match very well but there is literally no peel in it so front of my car is glass and rest is peel🤦
To be fair on that poor painter, the only way to make Mazda's look right is to not put enough paint on, they must do it to save a couple of dollars, it's nearly impossible to put that little paint on while painting a 3 stage. I don't know if your car is a 3 stage, but I can guarantee the repaired section will last much longer than the factory paint too. Mazda's are one of the worst for paint quality, it's less important in areas with low UV index, Perth was a shocker for faded Mazda and Honda's
Yeah I remember one of your vids you said the only way you'd buy a Mazda was if you would respray it yourself 😅 Thanks for all the info on vids mate keep it up👍
Matching Orange peel? Gunny. Mate. Op is a coating fault why would you create one for ascetics? Great dedication to the finish I guess, but maybes not needed.
90% of the time I use same guns and just spray different clear coats or with different techniques. I have a different gun that I use if I want to lay down clear like glass
Matching orange peel is really an underrated skill. Nice work Gunny!
It hurts so much to match orange peel when you know you can get it nicer
nice manipulation of the clear texture paint whisperer, you make it look easy, Keep the tips flowing........

Another great episode gunny, i received my new ANI 1.3 Compact spray gun and my gunman spray suit in the mail the other day from the UK, so im looking forward to using my new kit 😊 regards John
Thanks heaps for the support mate 🙏
Again loving the clear coat information 👌🏼
nice finish on that
when you look back at new cars in the early 70's HQ etc the finish was quite poor from factory
lots of orange peel
the newest clear i used is amazing compared to the old dulon acrylics
the system has changed so much in the last 40 yrs
Awesome vid and very helpful. Especially for collision work. I needed that as well.
I can get very good flat finish, but to achieve factory peel have not practiced much.
you're an inspiration, Gunny! Thank you.
Thank you too
I hear ya!! Been doing it over 20 years. Come across all kinds of shit!! lol. Nice video brotha!!!
Well done, thanks for the tips
I’m cutting and buffing my clear coat I sprayed a few days ago I hand sanded with 2000 then 3000 trizac on a DA then 5000 and on to a easy buff only to see pig tails brand new paper I don’t even understand how 3000 could leave pig tails the dark blue shows everything! Thanks for your great content your videos are what made me get a Pro lite .
Theres a modernish Jeep near my work that a walk past everyday, the orange peel on that is huge.
Nice work on getting that junk matched!
An artist at work!

You are a good painter sir, I like your contents!
Thumbs up...

This kind of video helps more then when you are told just what to do right insted of realizing what you are doing wrong.

Hi Gunnie, I too have a pro lite with TE20, what tips / settings would you have for achieving the flattest finish with liquid glass? Or should I just get the T110
If you really need orange peel, I’d be happy to paint it for you!
This is why i won't paint correct a car ever again. If the paint is too perfect, you'll have to do a hell of a lot of work to match the finish if you have to repaint a panel.

What kind of clear coat are you using to match the orange peel? Is it a gloss?
Looks great
I use the t110 for my flat finish and a tight peel, if I do a bmw or something along these lines, I use the te20 and lower the pressure to get that shitty peel, works a treat for me like that but hurts my eyes to do such a thing!!
Ha, ha Gunny - I've been watching you for a very long time because I remember you telling that story about your Falcon. Hope that you are well mate!
Been good thanks mate. Really great, actually thanks 🙏
No such things as rambling, when an expert is talking. Everything you are saying, is important, to someone.

I hate to say it, but your "crappy" orange peel, still looks stunning. Ha ha ha. Great Vid Mate!!
I have a question for you. What size of airline do you use?
Great video, i just done a video on a similar video topic with Mazda finishes 🤣
Hi Gunman, what is the best gun for clear coat in 2024 in your opinion?
I painted my whole car with help from your channel. But i know thats only 20% of the knowledge....texture matching and colour blending , and fixing fkups is a WHOLE other range of skills
Jeep owners be like.....
🤣🤣🤣
Still loving your work Brother
Gfeat inspiration
Damn it!! I wanted one of those Green GTI Pro Lite so bad 😭
G'day
Mr Gunman,
Your rambling is always a treat.
This video,
Some very interesting technical information.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge man.
✌️ Peace from Melbourne/Pakenham 3810.
Or book it in with me, runs come free!
If only someone with your understanding painted my Mazda 😅
From factory my soul red is quiet orange peely
Had it fixed under insurance. Don't get me wrong the paints match very well but there is literally no peel in it so front of my car is glass and rest is peel🤦

Cool trick excellent
Matching Orange peel? Gunny. Mate.
Op is a coating fault why would you create one for ascetics? Great dedication to the finish I guess, but maybes not needed.
You don't want it to be obvious that some parts were painted separately. You want the whole car to have a uniform finish, for better or worse
Because you want the entire car to look original and not refinished. And you might want to look up ascetic as it doesn’t mean what you think.
Im the orange peel king!
👍
🏎
I’ll teach ya how to do a sh*t job, Mate - The Gunman 😂
Great information though , I use the same technique. Works great .
90% of the time I use same guns and just spray different clear coats or with different techniques. I have a different gun that I use if I want to lay down clear like glass
❤❤❤❤
New rangers are even worse!
