Hey Martin! I wanna say that your channel has inspired me to take my spray gun painting to another level! I learned so much from you. Your teachings are clear and to the point.Also learning with laughter.Keep up the tutorial vids! Your #1 fan Dave...
Hi Martin! Great video and tips! I also paint bikes and my spray pattern is; headtube, bottom of bottom tube to top of bottom tube, bottom of top tube to top of top tube, then seat tube. Time to change it then
Greetings! I've seen you talking about spray guns in a number of videos, also from your backlog. However not yet about compressors. If I've just missed it, maybe you have a link, please?
I am still using the spray can as this is an easy way of spraying but have the right tools to do a paint job with a spray gun. The only thing I am very uncomfortable with is the measurement for the paint and clear coat. Is it like pastry where everything should be perfectly measured? Do you have a video on this? Thank you!
Hey Martin, great video as usual. I have a question: I sanded a sram red 22 crankset to remove the original clear coat and stickers. Now I have to clear coat it and I want a visible carbon fibers look. Can I spray acrylic 2k clear coat directly on the carbon (I think there was no primer on the original crank because it went away really quickly) or it is crucial to put a transparent primer? Thank you
Let's say you don't have the option to thin out your 2k clear coat (Spray cans) and you get the orange peel effect. Do you wet sand the surface and if so, what grit sandpaper do you use?
Hey man, approx how long from spraying the clear coat to rebuilding the bike? PS: Love the channel mate. Just wrapped up my first bike project that started a month ago. (This bike had like 8 layers of paint to sand through😭) Your videos helped me so much.
Hello Martin, do you clean your gun between the first- and the second layer? Is it possible, the hardener - in the meantime - will do his job inside your gun? Thanx for so many helpful and entertaining videos
Great work, I've drawn a lot of inspiration from your videos. I have a question regarding sanding clear coat. I just sanded my 2K spray Max clear (after a 2 month cure) and it resulted in some cloudy spots and also areas that are now sticky to the touch. Is this normal? I was going to go 1200, 1500 and 2000. But now I'm concerned that I damaged the clear. Should I push on? Do I need to reclear?
Hi Martin. Great video. You inspired me to try a clear coat on my next paint job (coming up this summer, outside with no flies 😁). Greetings from Edmonton.
I am getting ready to put the clear coat on a Norco Six full suspension frame I am working on. Just waiting for the clear coat in the mail. I am really worried about the inside sections and the nooks and crannies of the frame. This is my second frame paint. The first was based off ETOE's DIY spray paint a bike and I royally screwed up the clear coat on that bike.
dannyslea I done a couple bikes. I got a practice alum frame from bike shop they were throwing out. I stripped and painted it then tried different clears. Some work to rest strip but I got practice in paint gun setup and technique. Also used some paint but better than my good frame. Also Fast hardener. Slow and medium flow too much and caused runs. Hope this helps.
hello Martin My name is Luis, I am a follower and admirer of your work. I work with bike paintings and carbon repairs too, I would like to know what type of primer you use on carbon and also what type of acrylic paint or Polyurethane Im from Brazil thanks
could you do a demo video how to use spray-can 2K clear coat, like the Spray Max brand? also, could you do a demo video how to spot-repair paint and clear coat? also, could you do a demo video how to spot-strip a carbon frame with pin-striping tape? like masking off stripes and text blocks, and removing the paint all around? i don't know if this is even possible? also, could you do a demo video how to make a bike frame-sized DIY spray booth? thanks

Hi Martin - you’re amazing, and I’m just starting to do my own bike painting for my kids etc (for now). I’m using HOK paints - I noticed here you wet sand, but this is primer. Wanted to confirm you would also wet sand a painted surface? 1200 grit? Thanks!
@@ETOE Hmmm...I just tried the wet sand and ended up taking off some of the paint on the thin edges of the motorcycle parts I'm painting....must not have sprayed enough in the first place I guess. I was definitely being gentle with the paper too.
Hey Martin! What do you do when you have to paint a carbon frame in clear (like the one in the video) and there are some "white" parts? i think is like glue or something like that. I have an epic s-works 2018, I striped it following your steps and there are some parts in "white" mostly on the bottom of the down tube. Do you cover it with something ? Thanks!
@@ETOE I've watched that video as most of your great videos. I know that the datasheet for the gun says 1 bar and i run the 1,2mm nozzle needle setup but i think that 1 bar sometimes isn't enough. I have an industrial type compressor so the airsupply isn't a problem. I was just curious if you follow the spec or if you have your own sweetspot. Really like your content and I've learn alot from it. /Tomas
@@TomasHedlund16 I am no where near as qualified as Martin to respond to this question but I also have a new LPH 80 and I find I get better consistency at a higher pressure, 1 bar is great for saving air but its a very fine balance to avoid a dry finish, when I saw The Gunman's review , he recommended 29 PSI as he does for most of the guns he show cases, I thought that was way too much so I run at around 18-22 depending on base or clear. I had so many different results using the lower pressure I have now treated myself to a Devilbiss SRi Pro Lite and that is ow my dedicated tool for clear.
Clear coated the frame last Friday and .. what a wonderful disaster!!! Everything you talked about magically happened to me ... you either jinxed it for me or your were spaying me as that chicken dance is my secret ritual! Jokes apart the low temperature (1 degree celsius) ruined everything. The iron frame was so cold that the clear coat was literally dripping off the frame!! What would you do in this case? Happy to send you a photo of the frame and runs for you to roast me :D
1.there is no basecoat on the video..you go from primer to clearcoat.....yes we sand the primer...600-800 grit...we never sand the basecoat unless there is a blemish or something and we have to put another coat on...!! 2. on other video you put 3 layers of clearcoat...and between the second and the third you sand with 800 paper...then you spray the final one...its something i ve heard, never tried it though ...you put 2 layers, sand it with 1000-1200 and then the final one 3.there are 2 main categories of clear coat....the 2k with the hardener and without it....its a world difference...the 2k has amazing strength and if you are experienced with a good gun ..an iwata sata devilbiss bla bla...the result is mirror finish..you dont have to sand and buff....with the softer ones ...the usual ones we get on cans...not the 2k cans you ve showed...you need work to come to a descent level...the key is to put as many thin layers as possible ...4 or 5...so you dont risk when you sand and buff later...you let it cure completely...and by completely i mean days ...till there is no odor ..smell...then you wetsand with 800-1000 up to 2000 grit...finally you get a fine compound and start...till you see your face on the surface!! and you were a little unfair with the mini spray gun....its price is equivalent to 2 spray cans....!!!!
I'm really amazed by your talent. I hope i can have my father's bike repainted. It's his bike since early 90's and it inspired me to be a cyclist too.

I use primer. You can do what ever you want.

1200 than 2000 than 2500 than 3000

You killed the clear coat and have to repaint again.
@@ETOE ok, I'm never sanding clear again becausei used the lightest touch with 1000 grit. Thanks
Can we get the same high gloss finish but with spray can ?
No because you don t have control is very hard to lay down clearcoat from spray can...atomization is poor
hey martin, thanks for the great videos and tips!
Would you mind sharing the size of the nozzles you use for the basecoat and the clearcoat??

Was just about to ask about orange peel and u answered it already
can we use alcohol as a substitute for degreaser?
Can you post the link for the printer you used in previous videos please?
Hi Martin, what pressure you use for clear coat? i have a similar as the prize 150cc spray gun. I´m your fan
I recommend around 2bar for most common spray guns. Please make sure not to use the cheater valve on the spray gun if you are not a pro.
Greetings! Question: You apply 2 layers of clear coat but do you mix those layers once or do you mix it separate for the second layer? THANKS!
I mix once.

I call the client and say: hey your frame is cheap and looks ugly. What do you think about a cool custom paintjob and a nice color.
Hi, there is no need to wet sand after the clear coat dries?
No
I wish you custom painted a sport motorcycle. It would be artwork.
I have painted first layer of clear coat and the second layer of clear coat after 24 hours of drying .Is that fine .
No it`s not ok. Worst case is that the second layer has no bond with the first one and will peel of.
What pressure do you run in your lph-80 when clearcoating?

Do you use the same spray gun for prime, painting and clear coat?
I laughed my ass off ... mal wieder danke für die immer guten und besser werdenden Videos. Trinke gerade gutes Bier und schleife meinen Rahmen ...
damn was a little late for the raffle.. nice video!
3m superfine works good
Hi. You are too funny. The content is great. Thanks a lot
Thank you.
What size air compressor do you use with smaller guns?
Same like for my bigger guns. Makes no sense for me to by a small compressor.
Thanks for sharing your hard gained experience.
What an amazing video
doesnt the overspray get on your clothes, hair, floors, walls, etc??
Yes it does.
Cheap air brush challenge coming?
Amazing...ETOE your is my inspiration.from indonesian .💯%👍
do you apply a clearcoat without a primer?
No as I mentioned in my video I use and sand primer.
Am i late for the giveaway??
J'adore tes vidéo, j'espère gagner le pistolet

Sandra would have done a better job! even if she did not telling her it was any less than perfect would have put you on her Ex boyfriend list.
