Great tutorial, apart from learning how to spray a panel, another highlight I think most beginners should take away from this , is that you don’t need to start with all the high priced top of the range guns. This is a good brand , affordable spray gun that is versatile for a beginner to start with and know that it will last if you look after it , great video Tony !
That was my whole point in using a gun like this for these videos mate ain’t fair on beginners if I use a £500-600 gun to show this with so I thought sod it asked our sponsors they sent me out the one I asked for so I could show a good low priced gun suitable for beginners and as always they came through and then even put a deal up on it for you guys can’t say better than that
Dear Tony, i have watched and re watched this series. Im a DIY once in a while and in Qatar so its hot here. I hv the Iwata same model. About to attempt failing clearcoat repair with a pearlesant basecoat. Really appreciate the guides, russell
So glad that I found your channel. I am attempting to repaint my car during this quarantine period and your videos are very detailed and informative. Keep up the good work and keep those videos coming. All the way from the Caribbean Islands, Trinidad...
What a great tutorial, clearly spoken with all the details you need. Baffles me why someone would put a thumbs down for this, jealousy i guess. Keep up the great work tony, i have completed a few repairs on my car based on yours and the gunman's tutorials.
Hey buddy appreciate the comment mate I always try my best to get as much detail and content for you guys into videos as possible and nice to have you with us too fella
Thanks for passing on all your knowledge,as a beginner I’m at the primer stage of my gpz 600r repaint, would never have started without your help,many thanks again from NZ.
Have you ever considered teaching at a local high school or college? I think you would be one of those cool teachers that the students will be drawn to and I see you as a good influence for the kids. Go out and make a difference in this world mate!!
One of my main jobs in a previous employment was training apprentices mate and funnily enough I was asked to become a teacher in this trade last year but I love to do the job too much as much as I love to inspire and help others learn
This video really helped me setup my gun and paint 2K clear on my first attempt at painting a van. Your vid was perfect, I definitely would have made some big mistakes without it. I did see a drip and tried to wipe it off, oops, that didn't turn out well 😆 But overall I am really happy with the result. The best time to remove masking tape from a hard edge would be great info too - the van I am painting has an unpainted rubber seal between panels. I removed the tape about 30 minutes after painting, I am a little concerned that the paint may flake over time...time will tell.
Superb as always Tony,I’ve just purchased one of these guns from PMP supplies including the free regulator and sealey spray gun on your recommendation...looking forward to more of the same bud 👍
nicely done tony well explained. I need to make another video my first ones where I explained this were pretty lame. So I am going to make one with using Tamco USA made material. I haven't used roberlo clear but I have used their filler which is pretty nice. It poured pretty high solids to me. finish looks acceptable. I usually spray a bit closer and smash the dots just a smidge gets a wetter finish but that would be fine for the panel you are putting on.
Hi Tony these videos a really great and have helped me gain more experience they really have.. I have purchased the spray gun 🔫 and it's really is a great purchase..and will carry on watching the highly recommend videos. I think one of the areas I could improve is the clear coat. Could you possibly recommend a good product basically for small jobs ie the odd wing and door and bumper repairs and where to get it from. Thanks in advance Chris.
Great video Tony, is there a particular temperature the clear coat and panel should be when spraying? I'm assuming if it's too cold, the clear coat will run?
Regardless of the gun it can be considered that the gun should be open in a dose of material at least 70% to spill clear coat? I have Lvlp gun and I would like to be sure how my gun should be set up
Another well explained and simple video.....I can’t wait to get spraying now! Being a DIY guy I’m not sure how I’ll fair with my garage barley getting above 10c 😬
Lol we all started somewhere mate and it can be done beleive me lol just slow everything down abit more and take your time , we will also be running some introduction to paint days at my shop this year covering stuff we’ve done in the vids like this one but hands on
Andy, I’m getting there now mate....still a complete noob but I’m getting there. Pretty pleased with my results so far and absolutely loving the process 😁
Pretty much mate yes I’m do one on direct gloss for you guys too on direct gloss I’d probably go one light coat two wet coats though as the polishing stage actually takes colour off the panel so to be safe I would put one extra coat on to reduce the risk of rub throughs
Hi mate. Great videos, very helpful. I'm looking at spraying alloys and would be getting two devilbliss GPI's one for base and one for clear coat. What mm nozzles would you recommend for each?
If it was say middle of the summer or the warmer months ( if your in the uk ) then you could paint one day polish the next if you were leaving it to air dry with most clears mate weather like we have atm I’d be leaving it 24 hours to air dry in a cold garage
Very nice videos man!!I am a DIY guy and i want to buy a compressor to work with the guns....what specs (cfm, hp, tank) are ideal for small jobs like panels, doors, bonnets etc?Also is the Air Gunsa AZ3 HTE2 proper for a job like this on the video bucause is supossed to be primer gun, but has a 1.3 tip?If you have a gun to propose me around 100-150 euros you are most welcome!Keep up the good work!
Hiya mate, going to be painting my Riley in the next day or two. 2k solid and I want it to have that "old car" with "plenty paint on" look...not like a modern car. how many coats do you reckon mate ? Think I sent you a picture of it a bit back...its a Riley RMA. as a rough guess, with say, three full coats roughly how many ltrs of paint ....Cheer mate !!
Hi Tony, hope you are ok and your wife in improving, haven't called for a couple of days as you have better things to do than chat to me but if you have the time I have a question for you mate, I lay down my first coat of clear and it looks great with a flat glassy finish but after the second coat it has quite a lot of peel in it, I use the same gun same settings (full fan, 3 turns out on fluid and 34psi) and distance but I just move a little slower, any idea as to why this is happening? I know this is user error but not sure how to fix it, flash off is 10mins, any help would be appreciated mate, John
@@TonysRefinishingTV I'm using my devilbiss sri pro lite 1.2 mini gun, I have two of these one for base and one for clear which of course is the roberlo 610, I know the gun pressure sounds a bit high but been using that after watching the gunman clearing a bumper at the same pressure.
Ok no problem Tony, I'll try that and see how it goes, I do have some more unrelated questions but I think it's best if I ask you on FB, don't like bothering you atm as you have enough on your plate so I'll give you a few days then give you a call.
Hy Tony, can i ask you why my clearcoat (on a solvent base)lose its gloss after 1 or 2 ours but, if i spray It on an old wel cured panel this problem doesn't happens? I used the ICR SPRINT H62 with fast hardner. The ambient temperature around 10-13 degrees here in Sardinia..
The faster the hardener the more it will pull back , also if your base isn’t fully dry ( may be dry to the touch but could still be slightly not quite off ) then it’ll pull back or it could be your clear or thinners there’s a Humber of things that could make it do it
no mate its a proper booth so its 7.5 meters long 4m wide 3m tall the whole roof in this is the input filters and it has a fan unit and heating unit pushing air in through the roof filters and then extracts through the rear
@@TonysRefinishingTV people use negative pressure booths a lot.I saw gunmans video his booth use just exhaust fan so its not big thing if it has just one fan that extract air from booth instead of two
Hi wonder if you can help I am getting quite a lot of dust in my clear coat but not in base coat. I am using an extractor fan and getting spray tent quite hot 23oc humidity below 50%. I need my clear coat to dry faster I am using mipa cx4 2k hs clear coat any advice thanks in advance again
@@TonysRefinishingTV thanks not ideal but got a tent 3x3 and 3m high, sealed edges ground sheet on the floor covering up any gaps two fan heaters and an extractor fan to suck out dust. I am not putting any thinners in the Clearcoat as I was not at the shop I didn’t need to.
@@jamiebeddingham5838 cx4 doesnt really need it tbh its thin enough , as for dust just make sure your guns spotless ect tack before clear unfortunately unless your in a decent half sealed room with extraction its hard to cut down on nibs mate
@@TonysRefinishingTV thanks for advice I am trying again over next couple of days I never thought after watching your video the other day of blowing off with airline whilst tac rag I’ll try that your videos are great. Thanks again
Hi Tony new subscriber here, still learning to paint and having problems with my clearcoat, using upol 20:80 and fast hardener but I'm getting bad peel. I have the devilbiss SRI Pro lite 1.2 with the TE5 cap and 2bar, I'm only spraying small parts that I fabricate myself but do need a good finish. I don't have a heated booth so it's around 10C in my booth, I've been heating my mixed clear in boiling water plus heating the parts with my IR before spraying to around 35C, do you think I'm over doing the heating stage causing my peel issue, should I just heat the part and not the clear. I also find that the clear takes 4 or 5 days to harden, is this normal or is upol not a good make of clear, sorry for all the questions but I'm pulling my hair out trying to get a good finish, Oh an using Jet Black solvent basecoat. Thanks, John
do you add a drop of thinners into your clear mate , ive never used that clea or gun tbh but warming everything up like that is something ive never done and in this video we were spraying at 10c no issues and it shouldnt really take that long to dry either, im thinking warming it all up so much may be making it dry to fast so its go no time to flow out on the surface before it flashes off
Thanks for the reply Tony, I didn't add any thinners as the data sheet states its optional and its quite thin as is, I'll try again without the heat, as I'm using an extra fast hardener (5 to 15C) you are probably correct that its flashing off before its flowed out.
JohnWD40TC02 always try to rely to everyone fella if I can the help always expands further than the videos , and if you get stuck after adding a tad of thinner 10% I’d try personally I use that in most clear , then drop me a message on our Facebook page as it would be easier to chat in the future if you need some more focused advice
Hi Tony, just to let you know that I added 10% thinners, didn't heat the clear and only heated the panel to 17C (ambient was 7C), sprayed 2 coats one medium and one wet and the finish was like glass, quick flash off very little peel. Really appreciate the help here Tony, your advice was spot on. 👍👍
honestly mate brilliant fella so glad to see you've got it nailed now mate and was my pleasure buddy always help out where and if i can mate, keep smashing it now fella
Also--Wear nitrile gloves not only to protect yourself from deadly isocyanates/VOC's but also so you don't contaminate the oils/salts from your hands onto the tack rag and then onto the panel.
Personal opinion I’d say on that I’d rather have two coats of clear over a whole panel than one coat on edges and two all over so the whole panel has the same protection
The best mowie for beginners i have found on youtube
Thanks Johan 👌
Great tutorial, apart from learning how to spray a panel, another highlight I think most beginners should take away from this , is that you don’t need to start with all the high priced top of the range guns. This is a good brand , affordable spray gun that is versatile for a beginner to start with and know that it will last if you look after it , great video Tony !
That was my whole point in using a gun like this for these videos mate ain’t fair on beginners if I use a £500-600 gun to show this with so I thought sod it asked our sponsors they sent me out the one I asked for so I could show a good low priced gun suitable for beginners and as always they came through and then even put a deal up on it for you guys can’t say better than that
IWATA Air Gunsa AZ3 is probably the best beginner to intermediate gun out there.
Sure is mate

Hello Tony i just purchase this gun of PMP will be trying it out soon as my small spray booth will be ready great video can't wait till the episode
Thanks man and it’s a great little buy that gun mate as you can see it works well for a lower priced gun and it’ll last if it’s looked after too
Probably the best explained video I've seen on the subject , thank you
thanks nick awesome to have you with us

No problem Darren thanks for watching fella
Very smooth coat, how much is the CFM of your spray gun and how much is the CFM of your SPRAY GUN?
Great video Tony, is there a particular temperature the clear coat and panel should be when spraying?
I'm assuming if it's too cold, the clear coat will run?
so average is 20c but obv thats not always achievable for some but you can spray alot lower just be more careful and extend the flash of times ect
Nice job thanks please let me know after how many hours is that to polish, thanks
What this gun with nozzle 1.8mm for primer painting? Thanks
Simple but brilliant
thanks kamil
Great videos mate , have you and recommendations on a respirator when using 2K paints please

Warming your paint in hot water helps to
it does but its something ive never done myself
You should invest in a heat lamp,also you can add rocket into you clearcoat to speed up the drying process but be careful not to add to much
Andy, I’m getting there now mate....still a complete noob but I’m getting there. Pretty pleased with my results so far and absolutely loving the process 😁
Great job my friend 👍👍👍🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
Thanks buddy
Brilliant ... Thanks for sharing.
Cracking vid m8, would I do the same method, when using direct gloss ?
Pretty much mate yes I’m do one on direct gloss for you guys too on direct gloss I’d probably go one light coat two wet coats though as the polishing stage actually takes colour off the panel so to be safe I would put one extra coat on to reduce the risk of rub throughs
Good job Tony Thank you !
thanks buddy
Hi luv watching your channel. How long would that take to fully cure reasy to cut n polish under a heat light.. thank u
Just replied to you on insta fella
Sir is it OK to leave the remaining clear coat paint in the spray gun until the following day?
No most only have a pot life of an hour
Hi mate. Great videos, very helpful. I'm looking at spraying alloys and would be getting two devilbliss GPI's one for base and one for clear coat. What mm nozzles would you recommend for each?
Why the gpi mate ? And I’d go for 1.3
There great guns mate 1.4 is abit heavy tbh take a look at spsupplies.co.uk our sponsors
@@TonysRefinishingTV yeah I noticed soon after that message that they don't come with nozzles smaller than 1.4. I'll check out that website. Nice one
Awesomeness tony ... Would an IR lamp bake paint efficiently?
Yes mate you can dry base or clear with an ir lamp mate
@@TonysRefinishingTV brilliant tony 😎 ... Waterbase additive is used to thin the waterbase paint ? Think i remember you saying a while ago buddy
Bruce Lumsden yes mate il also be doing a video on our scheme and system too mate which will show it all in one detail
How would u dry the 2k clear in shed at home...
Luving the channel lots of knolage
Johnnie Passmore hiya mate I’d leave it to cure through on its own for 12-24 hours depending on the temp
@@TonysRefinishingTV will it be ready to flat n polish after 24 hrs.... and is that time for most clears or every clear?
If it was say middle of the summer or the warmer months ( if your in the uk ) then you could paint one day polish the next if you were leaving it to air dry with most clears mate weather like we have atm I’d be leaving it 24 hours to air dry in a cold garage

Would you recommend a Divilbiss FLG5 gun for a beginner?
Personally on top sizes and ease of use I’d recommend this over the flg

and my mrs dented this wing :D
This is off a fiesta mate not a focus and women hey lol

For home DIY-er's what options do we have for 2K with no isocyanates?
Honestly mate that’s something I’ve never looked at tbh most products these days are low voc but I’m not sure

Which clear coat would you recommend?
roberlo premium hs 250 or roberlo kronox 610 uhs
Hey so you went over the panels 2 times which each coat, why is that?
Thanks
Or did you just replay the clip? Didn’t catch that lol
Also--Wear nitrile gloves not only to protect yourself from deadly isocyanates/VOC's but also so you don't contaminate the oils/salts from your hands onto the tack rag and then onto the panel.
yeah was my bad that id ran out of gloves the morning i did this video lol

Can?
Me: I'm using 100 Malaysia ringgit spraying gun 😂
Wrong! First coat do not need to spray the edges always the second coat, otherwise overbuilding the edges....
Personal opinion I’d say on that I’d rather have two coats of clear over a whole panel than one coat on edges and two all over so the whole panel has the same protection
