Tony for me as a novice these little episodes are very tutorial and I am very excited about these videos beleve it or not I done a 10 week course in college and how you explained was exactly the same eg. doing edges first now I know it's just personal preference but my full credit due to you my friend my question is the gun you are using how often do you you're self use it in a day to day jobs thank you for making these episode can't wait for the next part 3 great job your doing
Firstly big thankyou for the kind words mate as a guy who never had the chance to go to college to do this and learnt himself I’m surprised to hear you say I’m explaining it in the same way but glad at the same time , the fun were using here the iwata you could use this multiple times per day everyday with no issues it’s a very well made gun and made to last , part three will be up next Tuesday / Wednesday buddy thanks for watching
Tony's Refinishing Hi Tony Do you have any recommendations we’re I can learn this trade professionally like chips away. There are trainning places but not to sure what there like. I would like the end result to get my own van and start working. rather than a garage. Thank you.
Honestly mate I’m not sure we offer a one day training course covering the basics of application of base clear and polishing and could possibly do one more involved if that’s something you were looking for mate , if it is message me through our Facebook page and we can talk more mate
Tony's Refinishing I thinks a weeks course is something I may need to learn how from A-to Z. Once the course is finished that’s when I would buy the vehicle and kit it out to start my venture.
I like the fact you’ve done this series. I know from experience there’s gonna be plenty of spray painters that think this is gonna lose them some work by you doing step by step guides but if you believed that you wouldn’t do it. Good work Tony. 👍🏻
thanks buddy we got asked alot for very broken down videos which tbh take alot of thinking to do, and as for the second part mate alot of painters forget to mention or remember where they started themselves, i myself am self taught 100%, im my day there was no youtube videos to get advice from , multiple facebook groups to ask advice on ect so i started where many of the guys watching this video will be , simple try try and try again and if i had this info back then id have got alot further alot faster , the channels here to help people in all stages professional guys see new products and guns and also the new guys out there gain some understanding and help, and no matter how big this channel may get its always about the little guys
Tony's Refinishing top man. I’m self taught too but I’m not nearly as good as I want to be or as good as you but I’m gaining confidence to do more whereas I would only do my own or families cars previously. Practice does make perfect but technique and gun setup is so much of the finish and your videos and others are exploring that and I’m glad that when I watch them I understand what you mean and why it matters so I’ve learned more than I thought I had. Keep em coming please pal.
mate even im not where i want to be lol, i always approach each day and job as a new chance to improve and if you do that you'll gain confidence and get better and better, the day i stop learning and improving in what i do in this job is the day i think id stop loving it as much but with all the new kit materials paints improving and coming out every year il never stop learning, and rally glad these videos have helped mate keep at it and keep me posted too buddy, regards tony
Just bought this gun and was concerned at some of the reviews - watched them AFTER I bought it - derp! Now I'm confident I can get a good finish with it. I will be spraying furniture components. Thanks for the vid. Subscribed.
Great great video and lesson. I have a rear spoiler that sits on the boot, i cannot remove the spoiler and have to paint in place. There is a slight gap where the joint is, will i face issues or peeling back if i spray the boot and spoiler?
Only just clocked this video after years of watching others in prep for spraying my project ‘FTO’....I have to say what a great Vid only wish I’d seen this earlier...no bullshit just straight forward. Great Vid!
Hey man welcome to the channel buddy , and that’s what our channels all about mate straight forward advice anyone can understand and learn from this series has only just got started too so hope to see you here again mate
Brilliant videos, well structured and very clearly presented . I'm trying to learn the water based base spraying but struggling so watching all your videos from the beginning onwards (gun setup) base colour etc has give me confidence to keep going but also filling in the gaps . Thank you.
Great beginners video Tony! I have a question, would the Iwata w400LV WBX spray gun be used as a multi purpose gun for sealer, base and clear. The gun is a 1.3 with the split nozzle and US compliant.
sweet video Tony, what I did was put a touch of hardener in the base of that plane I painted @ DeVilbiss so I could mask off and place stencils on the fuselage worked a treat... keep up the good work buddy and pleased to have you back. best wishes to you and your family....
Very well explained and what’s even better is, your using a gun that a beginner or hobbyist would probably use. I have an AZ3 Iwata HTE which I use as my primer gun but of course in its in a 1.8 tip . Works a treat
Hey man and thankyou buddy , it wouldn’t be fair to do these videos with a £500 spray gun mate I don’t think if we’re doing beginner vids then we’ve gotta break it down to what a beginner can use and explain how they can understand , also have the 1.8 mate for primer had one for a good 18 months still runs a treat
Tony's Refinishing yeah but I did a big no no it was a 1.3 but I bought the 1.8 fluid tip and needle forgetting I need the air cap too , when I went back to price the cap the cost of the needle and cap was near a new gun price so I drilled out the middle of the the 1.3 air cap , but hey it works well
That does look like a nice paint gun. I have a front fender that I was going to sell cause it doesn’t fit my car but I guess I’ll keep it around and practice painting on it. Good tips and looking forward to next video
Well, I've always heard exactly what you said "start with a thin coat" to reduce the chance of a run when you apply the heavier coats later (I'm not a propainter, but that's how I do it even when woodworking and always have worked very well for me)
hey thanks for the vid, im used to water borne base but may be may be in a position with solvent and it doesnt seem to be that different besides the drying and lack of control coat
Great video again Tony,very well explained for a novice like myself to understand,can I just say as a novice painter that I did come unstuck once painting a wing like this because when I used my panel prep I don’t think I cleaned it off enough/properly and ended up with fish eyes in my finish,I just thought I’d mention this hoping it might help someone else from making the same mistake 👍....Thanks a lot look forward to more vids
Fair comment that mate and good for people too see too , il maybe do a video on contamination ect for this series too as far as fish eyes silicone ect go may help a few people
Ideal temp would be 25c but you can spray anything from 5c upwards really just take into a pint though that low or at low temp things will take a lot longer to dry and cure through
I would love to see a video on how applying basecoat differently can actually change the colour shade even when the paint has come out of the same tin.
Tony im over in dublin and we get the same shitty weather you do in the uk could you touch on this for diy guys painting outside in these conditions and include it in your beginner series cheers .great to see you pumping out the videos again
Lol 😂, and yeah man I’m do a little video on something like this at some point buddy , and thanks fella it’s nice to be back at it again properly hope your enjoying the new vids buddy
hi tim welcome to the channel nice to have you with us we do have a compressor setup and advice video it was quite some time back tbh but i will be revisiting this with a slightly smaller compressor soon aimed towards the beginner / diy audience we have as i realise after these first few videos theres so much more you all want to see
gtair.co.uk/air-compressors/1-burisch-bt-390t-90-litre-3hp-belt-drive-air-compressor-5060523510009.html this is one i can recommend mate im trying to get one myself atm into the shop to do a video on and give advice in this series on
Good question fella not the first to ask it lol , the az3 hte s in the 1.3 atomises alot better than the flg in a 1.4 the flg is also really only like £10-20 cheaper , in my opinion it doesn’t have as good build quality as the iwata either I’ve used both these guns for considerable time as we’ve had one of the black flash guns in my shop for 18 months and no issues where as the flg was a little more temperamental with needle packing seals ect , this iwata even though a tiny bit more will last a lot longer it’s also cosmetically a lot better finished the flg always had bad casting but the external finish on these iwatas is what you expect from a top gun manufacturer but on a budget gun , hope this helps mate
When we’ve painted a panel like this mate we spray the very edge of the inner wing as we did in this video but once the wings dry and cured we would treat the rear of the panel with under seal or stone guard before it was fitted for rust protection
Thanks for that, couldn’t find that nugget of information anywhere on TH-cam. I’m a newbie and have a wing replacement to do and don’t want it to rust again.
Some say doing it one way or the other makes the job cleaner or not but tbh when I come to a panel I just start at the place that feels most natural to me at the time
Sorry to be commenting on a slightly older video, but I wonder if a DIY'er should go for this gun or a FLG5? I heard somewhere that Iwatas like a lot of air, which can be an issue for us with smaller compressors. Mine was the biggest I could afford and it delivers 300 lpm with a 50 liter tank. Have you tried the A.N.I guns? Slightly lower price but supposed to be good. If I lived anywhere near you, I would sign up for a course right away! Learning by myself now. Trial and error and your channel 😁
hi Tony great Vidio. I am a beginner. what size of compressor is needed for the spray gun. also what wax and grease remover do you use, and where can you buy from. Peter
hi peter honestly id recomend a minimum of a 150 litre 14fcm compressor to run a spray gun with sometimes pricey new but often found for pennies second hand to start out , and standard automotive wax and grease remover or panel wipe mate brands i find dont really matter when it comes to those , if your in the uk pmp supplies our sponsors would be able to supply you with the panel wipe message them through there facebook page
@@TonysRefinishingTV . Tony thank you for your reply. When you say 14 cmf. is that free flow or displacement. for my use it will run from a domestic supply with 13 amp supply. is this good enough for spraying a panel. peter
we use a 150 litre 14 cfm compressor in our shop mate its on a standard supply, the air displacement is probably about 12cfm free air delivery on ours one this size is min for spraying really in my book although others may disagree , and does us for all the videos you see on my channel so one panel to repaints , we need one bigger as the shop consumes air but for a single user like yourself this will be ideal
the one we have unfortunately is no longer available to bu it was cheap too but ive just found they have a smaller tank version with the same output heres the link mate this should do for small to medium work these supplied us the 150 litre version and its excellent gtair.co.uk/air-compressors/1-burisch-bt-390t-90-litre-3hp-belt-drive-air-compressor-5060523510009.html ps, no need to thanks me fella its what the channels here for
Great video! Glad you went ahead with this series. When referring to 2k clear over base, some seem to refer to solvent base as you have and others acrylic base. Is there any difference? Is acrylic solvent ? Both seem to be used as a base with 2k lacquer in top. Thanks
some are acrylic some polyester based too and probably some more but il be honest i dont really get into this side of the job science wise , for me i use what my supplier sends or in the case of the water what we mix direct from the scheme for me base is base just one solvent based one water
hi david good question, usually i would open the tack cloth out to increase the surface area of the cloth so it can be optimised in a sense for dirt collection especially on larger jobs but not making it into a ball though ( again the surface area would be small), on a smaller job like this i didnt open it out as the panel is small , i would reuse this cloth though on future jobs and stages and then open it out as i go to open new fresh parts / surfaces of the cloth up to use, hope that all makes sense
Hi Tony, i painted the same panel with the same Moondust Silver but i have a problem: It looks great but, doesn't look sparkly in the sun(it's like there is less alluminium dust)like the others panels. How can i fix It?
I have a huge problem. Need the car painted in 2 days. I've sprayed the primer, got 2k clear and hardener, but I've forgot to order the thinner for my solvent basecoat. What type of thinner should I use?? I've got cellulose thinner on hand, would that be any good? Sorry, a big newb here. I tried to find info everywhere. Ordering thinner from the manufacturer is out of question, as it takes 10 days for that guys to deliver. What options do I have? Thanks
@@TonysRefinishingTV Sorry, just to make sure, I can use 2k hardener from clear instead of the thinner for solvent basecoat? I apologise I get confused by terminology sometimes... hardener, reducer, thinner etc. It's my first spray job.
@@TonysRefinishingTV I've got Kapci 2k Clearcoat + Hardener and Clostermann 2K HB Primer + 2k Primer Hardener. I will manage to get thinner for the basecoat delivered on Saturday, so I'm good with that now uff. Do I need anything extra for the clearcoat? Or just 2k clear + hardener will do? Should I mix any thinner into clear coat aswell? Sorry for troubling questions mate, you are really saving me here. Thanks so much for that!
Hi Tony, what brand of solvent basecoat would you recommend? I'm currently just playing around with the Quartz black but no matter what I do as gun setup or adding more thinners the finish is never that smooth, it looks and feels rough like it has a lot of peel plus it has a glossy finish not like clear but a satin finish, is all this normal for a solid black finish?
no mate but it shouldnt be dry that would only be down to application tbh, sometimes they do liik a tiny bit satin tbh and base sometimes does have a touch of peel but once cleared that should go
It looks ok when cleared but I find with the 610 I have to give it a good wet coat for full coverage, its hard to explain but laying down what I think should be my first closed coat turns out patchy with dry areas so have to go over it again, second coat goes on fine, also find it takes a lot more clear going over the basecoat than it does when flow coating, sorry for all the stupid questions but now I have my dirt issues sorted I'm trying to refine my work
Base always takes more clear mate to cover than a flow coat as it’ll soak up the clear slightly if that makes sense , clear over clear always applies different , first coat of base should always be light really then go wet after ate
Ok thanks for the help, yes that makes total sense I was thinking along those lines, just wanted it confirmed by an expert, ok mate I'll let you get on, take care mate and stay safe.
Hi Tony, would you recommend the DeVilbiss GPi All-Purpose Gravity Spraygun ? its around 180 pounds and saw a lot of good reviews. just thinking as an investment. heard it can be used for base and clear, not sure for primer
honestly mate thats one ive not really used much and its been a long time since i have im afraid so couldnt comment on it properly for you, as far as i know yes they can be used for base and clear and primer if you bought a bigger tip size for it
Yes mate 1.3 is a perfect size for both I find also they have this on offer for £99+vat plus a free gauge and a free sealey 1.4 spray gun so two guns and a gauge for £119 pmpsupplies.co.uk/p/iwata-blue-flash-spray-gun-1-3mm-1-4mm-or-1-8mm-free-gun-and-gauge
Flg5 Was and is the best one for the money Bigger fan .a bit faster I have one 1.4 and 1.8 What else you need Thanks Tony Keep watching you since you did blue metallic Peugeot)))
as technology has improved though and some guns have come down in price and been revamped to make them better i cant agree anymore, i personally used an flg5 for years in the same setups you mention and now have two of these iwatas in the 1.3 and 1.8 and personally think they are a better gun
Tony for me as a novice these little episodes are very tutorial and I am very excited about these videos beleve it or not I done a 10 week course in college and how you explained was exactly the same eg. doing edges first now I know it's just personal preference but my full credit due to you my friend my question is the gun you are using how often do you you're self use it in a day to day jobs thank you for making these episode can't wait for the next part 3 great job your doing

Hello Tony what size needle and cap should I be using to spray 2k prime r and what pressure should I be setting the gun at thanks Tony
Just bought this gun and was concerned at some of the reviews - watched them AFTER I bought it - derp!

Great great video and lesson. I have a rear spoiler that sits on the boot, i cannot remove the spoiler and have to paint in place. There is a slight gap where the joint is, will i face issues or peeling back if i spray the boot and spoiler?
Im concerned either i wont get coverage around the spoiler where it sits on boot edge or i will overload with paint and have a mess at the joint line
I live in Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 I love the spary gun I will like to have one to start to paint for my self

Which is the right viscositat in a Ford 4 Cup?
Genuinely mate I go by feel I’m afraid rather than viscosity
What about panel prep? Surely it needs a scotch brite over first?
Great video very good demonstration. What is the tip size of that gun?
Thanks buddy and a 1.3
Great video Tony. I really appreciate the beginner series, you’ve put out some great info in these and I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.
Thanks Simon and there will be plenty more to come we hope to put up one each Wednesday every week
30% thinner. Comment on one of your beginner vids on the importance of thinners for good flow out. I am learning

Hi Tony, Another great video. What brand / model, of the face mask and filter cartridges, are you using in this video?
i beleive mines a gerson i usually buy them in a pair for about £40 as they have replaceable cartridges and pre filters too
Good vid as always but just one question why this gun over the flg5 which is slightly cheaper and you seemed to highly regard the flg as i remember
Good question fella not the first to ask it lol , the az3 hte s in the 1.3 atomises alot better than the flg in a 1.4 the flg is also really only like £10-20 cheaper , in my opinion it doesn’t have as good build quality as the iwata either I’ve used both these guns for considerable time as we’ve had one of the black flash guns in my shop for 18 months and no issues where as the flg was a little more temperamental with needle packing seals ect , this iwata even though a tiny bit more will last a lot longer it’s also cosmetically a lot better finished the flg always had bad casting but the external finish on these iwatas is what you expect from a top gun manufacturer but on a budget gun , hope this helps mate
Do you ever paint the inside of the wing, especially the inner rim as they can rust from the inside out ? Or just leave in primer ?
When we’ve painted a panel like this mate we spray the very edge of the inner wing as we did in this video but once the wings dry and cured we would treat the rear of the panel with under seal or stone guard before it was fitted for rust protection

Tony, what is the reason for spraying bottom to top, not top to bottom on a car panel. Peter
Some say doing it one way or the other makes the job cleaner or not but tbh when I come to a panel I just start at the place that feels most natural to me at the time
great job love that series

Great video! Glad you went ahead with this series. When referring to 2k clear over base, some seem to refer to solvent base as you have and others acrylic base. Is there any difference? Is acrylic solvent ? Both seem to be used as a base with 2k lacquer in top. Thanks
some are acrylic some polyester based too and probably some more but il be honest i dont really get into this side of the job science wise , for me i use what my supplier sends or in the case of the water what we mix direct from the scheme for me base is base just one solvent based one water
Clean job bro
thanks man
Do you find any benefits to opening out the tack rag then making it into a ball?
hi david good question, usually i would open the tack cloth out to increase the surface area of the cloth so it can be optimised in a sense for dirt collection especially on larger jobs but not making it into a ball though ( again the surface area would be small), on a smaller job like this i didnt open it out as the panel is small , i would reuse this cloth though on future jobs and stages and then open it out as i go to open new fresh parts / surfaces of the cloth up to use, hope that all makes sense
Great video, thanks for taking the time to make it
Your welcome thankyou for watching
Great video Tony, well done man 👍🏻👍🏻
thanks fella
Some great tips thank you... I've just started college at the age of 35...

Daniel Critchley which Facebook group fella if you want join our page Tonys refinishing and drop me an inbox mate
Hi Tony, i painted the same panel with the same Moondust Silver but i have a problem: It looks great but, doesn't look sparkly in the sun(it's like there is less alluminium dust)like the others panels. How can i fix It?
Dust a coat over mate when you finish the base
Lighter pressure
Thank you very much :)
Your welcome buddy
Seems like a nice gun!
Really is for the price buddy
my basecoat is not laying out correctly and going on dry how do I resolve that problem
I have a huge problem. Need the car painted in 2 days. I've sprayed the primer, got 2k clear and hardener, but I've forgot to order the thinner for my solvent basecoat. What type of thinner should I use?? I've got cellulose thinner on hand, would that be any good? Sorry, a big newb here. I tried to find info everywhere. Ordering thinner from the manufacturer is out of question, as it takes 10 days for that guys to deliver. What options do I have? Thanks
You can only use 2k thinner for it mate so the thinner you’ve had for primer or clear would be fine if that helps
@@TonysRefinishingTV Sorry, just to make sure, I can use 2k hardener from clear instead of the thinner for solvent basecoat? I apologise I get confused by terminology sometimes... hardener, reducer, thinner etc. It's my first spray job.
No not hardener mate you can use 2k reducer / thinner mate but not hardener
@@TonysRefinishingTV I've got Kapci 2k Clearcoat + Hardener and Clostermann 2K HB Primer + 2k Primer Hardener. I will manage to get thinner for the basecoat delivered on Saturday, so I'm good with that now uff. Do I need anything extra for the clearcoat? Or just 2k clear + hardener will do? Should I mix any thinner into clear coat aswell? Sorry for troubling questions mate, you are really saving me here. Thanks so much for that!
I’d pop 10% thinner into the clear mate it’ll help it flow a little bud the base thinner if it’s solvent base will be fine to use in the clear too
Hi Tony, what brand of solvent basecoat would you recommend? I'm currently just playing around with the Quartz black but no matter what I do as gun setup or adding more thinners the finish is never that smooth, it looks and feels rough like it has a lot of peel plus it has a glossy finish not like clear but a satin finish, is all this normal for a solid black finish?
no mate but it shouldnt be dry that would only be down to application tbh, sometimes they do liik a tiny bit satin tbh and base sometimes does have a touch of peel but once cleared that should go
It looks ok when cleared but I find with the 610 I have to give it a good wet coat for full coverage, its hard to explain but laying down what I think should be my first closed coat turns out patchy with dry areas so have to go over it again, second coat goes on fine, also find it takes a lot more clear going over the basecoat than it does when flow coating, sorry for all the stupid questions but now I have my dirt issues sorted I'm trying to refine my work
Base always takes more clear mate to cover than a flow coat as it’ll soak up the clear slightly if that makes sense , clear over clear always applies different , first coat of base should always be light really then go wet after ate
Ok thanks for the help, yes that makes total sense I was thinking along those lines, just wanted it confirmed by an expert, ok mate I'll let you get on, take care mate and stay safe.
Great information
No problem brain thanks for watching
Great vid Tony. Would be good to see similar vid with your new scheme. 👍🏻
will be coming soon mate dont worry weve got a list a mile long atm for these beginner vids and it grows every day
what is the price of that gun and how close is it to the GTI Pro?
£110 new mate prolite is more than double
If you had to choose one gun between these 3... Iwata here, FLG5 or ANI F160?
I’d say the iwata was a better gun and better value for money in the long run tbh
Top vid tone, all taken in and stored in my brain, keep up the vids,
Any applying filler vids in the pipeline mate ?
yes fella we will be working through every aspect one by one so bare with me , one vid a week on this series
Hi Tony, would you recommend the DeVilbiss GPi All-Purpose Gravity Spraygun ? its around 180 pounds and saw a lot of good reviews. just thinking as an investment. heard it can be used for base and clear, not sure for primer
honestly mate thats one ive not really used much and its been a long time since i have im afraid so couldnt comment on it properly for you, as far as i know yes they can be used for base and clear and primer if you bought a bigger tip size for it
@@TonysRefinishingTV ok cool, I saw the Iwata has a 1.3 tip. will you be using the same 1.3 tip for the clear in the next episode?
Yes mate 1.3 is a perfect size for both I find also they have this on offer for £99+vat plus a free gauge and a free sealey 1.4 spray gun so two guns and a gauge for £119 pmpsupplies.co.uk/p/iwata-blue-flash-spray-gun-1-3mm-1-4mm-or-1-8mm-free-gun-and-gauge
Awesome video
thanks fella
Tony my paint shop said to mix basecoat 1 to 1' its solvent base but you say 2 to 1? do different manufacturers have different ratios ? help please
Yes mate every paint brand is different in ratios buddy so don’t worry
@@TonysRefinishingTV Thanks Tony hope your well and staying safe, I'm binge watching your channel at the moment :)
@@canalboating im good mate yes thanks just helping my mrs recover from a big operation atm start of this week but were all opk hope you are too fella

Tony's Refinishing thnx buddy!
Brilliant Video, thank you
hey darren thanks for watching buddy
Ordered mine.
Well the clear stage is out on Wednesday at 5 mate too 👍
@@TonysRefinishingTV Had the old az3 hte2 for 15 years or so, never any problems, looking forward to trying the new version.
Real nice the new one mate atomisation is better and a slightly bigger fan too
Nice job bro
thanks and thanks for watching
Good
Brill, great video
thankyou george
Awsome brother
thanks man
Love that gun
really is good for the money looks nice too wait till you see how it handled the clear in the next video lol
Flg5
Was and is the best one for the money
Bigger fan .a bit faster
I have one 1.4 and 1.8
What else you need
Thanks Tony
Keep watching you since you did blue metallic Peugeot)))
as technology has improved though and some guns have come down in price and been revamped to make them better i cant agree anymore, i personally used an flg5 for years in the same setups you mention and now have two of these iwatas in the 1.3 and 1.8 and personally think they are a better gun
Thanks Pro
Your welcome mate
Why 2k thinners and not cellulose thinners mate. I thought you had to use cellulose thinners with cellulose /solvent base paint.
Cheers Jason.
Celluose and base aren’t two different types of paint mate
