Thanks for all your help,and information.
Gabe your videos are awesome man! I can tell you put a lot of time into them with your Im sure already crazy busy flat rate time schedule. I appreciate all your invested time and hard work on this channel for our viewing pleasure. I absolutely love painting as well. All the meticulous prep work put into getting it ready is defiantly worth it once you starting letting the paint fly and seeing the final product and happy customer!
+Codeare98 thank you so much man!! It's messages like these that keepe going!! Much respect!!!😀😀😀😀😀
You're welcome man! Where do you work a dealership or collision center?
+Codeare98 collision center 😊
Awesome I was wondering how this clear was. Definetly trying it tomorrow 👍🏿👍🏿
+Cesar Gonzalez it's great man! Try it out its my FAVORTIE
Great info Gabe. That piece turned out beautiful. Thanks.
+Steve Janka thanks brother!
ive had this clear for alittle less then a month the gloss retention is without a doubt so much better than dc2000 and you can stretch it way more per panel. great video again gabe and to the rest of the followers listen to the man about bake cycles because this clear can be a double edged sword.
+Michael Dunlap haha very true my friend!
Awesome! Thanks for the review on the 520. We have been playing around with it at work as well. And you are right. It doesn't like the heat! I treat it more like the ec800 clear when it comes to baking it. Nice stuff tho! Have not had a whole lot of luck on hoods or roofs. Had it solvent pop or just dye back
+Sean Edmondson yeah to much to fast I wouldn't use it on top big surfaces unless you can air dry or even bake it for 20 at 110-120 it's a great clear though I'm gonna be using it more
Nice video from you my man.. really like your spray booth and the baking thing it dose
Thank you!!
Gabriel,
great video bro, bake times matter a lot. just bought my motivated painter kit. I support you because you are real. God bless
+Christopher Hinson oh man dude!!!! I just finished telling someone thanks for writing to me saying they got the package and now you ! Thank you so so much Christopher I really appreciate it man! 😊🙌🙏🙌
I'm falling back to using these speed clears more often, but many of them are so thin that they easily run on you, esp. the 1:1 clears that also require hardener in the basecoat. You better do your polishing within 2-3 days, as some of these clears get so hard that they don't polish easily anymore. Currently i'm using a budget speed clear that bakes in 5min@ 60°C/140F, AWESOME!! Get well soon, Gabester!
Also, i found that for some reason these clears are very sensitive to fish-eyeing, so you better keep your surface cleaner than clean!
love your show , its like going school. keep up good work
+0505alpha haha that's actually a compliment as much as I didn't like school !!!
Looking good! Thanks for sharing this.
+Nearheaven53 your welcome! =😀
Well done Gabe...keep posting !!!!
+SprayWayCustoms thank you!!! I will try my best and give it my all!!!
Excellent demonstration of your talent! Where are located? Your work on Model S had no orange peel- nice job!
+William Mulvey thank you so much!!! It a had a little orange peel haha I'm still waiting for the day when they don't have any orange peel!! We are located in oakville Ontario Canada 😀
Awesome brother I used same clear n speed up production.
Iwata lph400 gun in use cause it works for me ....thanks again..
I just I just started using this clear and I'm getting dye back it has a good Sheen at first but I'm not liking it thanks for posting I'm going to try
Hi Gabriel, those jobs looked beautiful, that looks a great clear, just wondered what's it like to polish 👍🏼😊
+richiet74 it dries so fast that is polishes quick!!
Gabe you videos are great learning a ton from you.
+William Nickels thank you so much!!! I'm so very glad and grateful you are here!!!
Your welcome. And don't let the complainers about your narration style bug you.I like the way you explain things. Your clear and understandable.
+William Nickels thank you very much that mean a lot to me! 🙌🙏
Hola Gabriel... Estaría bueno, para los que hablamos español que algunos de tus videos los hagas en este idioma. Lo que haces en RUclips es fantástico... No me pierdo ni un video, pero lamentablemente no los entiendo por completo. Sos un genio... Abrazo grande desde Argentina.
+Ariel Scharovsky guaoo ufff brother gracias por esos comentarios tan buenos! 😀😀 sabes que lo quiero hacer pero el problema es como en español no se los términos de carros entonces se me hace muy difícil ! Pero quisiera tratar
Great review my friend 👍👏
+Georgi Zlatinov thank you =!!!!
You the man Gabriel
I started using this clear about 2 months ago & it's shine @ first I bake it & then it dies back within 1-2 days bad..But I will try what you said 2 medium coats 5 minutes flash then bake 120 20mintues see if that's works..I am a production painter anywhere from 2 -5 cars daily so I hope this works better this time cause if a hole painted panel needs polish or Rey clear then because die back this clear is no good..I give it a shot 1 more time.
Great review mate ! You work in an excellent booth mate i can only dream of 👌👌
+Carl Heath thank you so much!!! If you can dream it you can conceive it!!! 😀
MOTIVATED PAINTERS i am currently saving for my booth so hopefully wont be too long lol👍
good job, I learn a lot from your videos to be better god bless you.
Thank you ;
Me gustó muncho el EC520 este clear esta bien Bueno gracias por el vídeo lo apliqué justo como tu vídeo👍👍👍
+Edgar Ramirez awesome !!!
I spray 2021 concept and love it
A good production clear makes a paint shop. In my experience trying to rush what is already a fast clear is asking for trouble. I'd much rather be spraying than polishing any day. Noticed the dekupps hanging on the wall. I like that system quite a bit better than 3M. Cup is more stable on the gun. Cup volumes more accurately match what I need to spray. Hopefully they will incorporate the filters like 3M does in the future. I actually knocked a fully loaded 3M cup off a gun once, and I still tried to like the system after that.
+Shain Andrews I was trying the cups yeah I don't mind them they are great!! 😀😀 3m is supposed to have new cups coming out soon. !
New ones are coming! I know that for a fact
Gabe, Is it best to wait until the clearcoat is hand slick before applying the next coat? I try to follow the tds, but most times the clearcoat is still sticky, stringy at the flash times depending on the weather.
Great job!!!
+Aleksander mit thank you! =
watch the video twice digest think then ask the question,But Gabe gives you the answer in the video.I understood every word .But I have been down the road many times well done Gabe ....
+deno booth thanks man!!! That means a lot!!! Thanks for actually watching and applying it ! Many people just want to message me the question without watching anything and that defeats the purpose of the videos! Haha
Hello! I like your videos, you are a serious specialist. I wish to ask for help about clear coats. I worked with the Megalack, I'm not contented. I worked with the Roberlo clear coats, that is too soft, falls back its shine. What is your opinion about the Debeer clear coat? I don't tryed it yet. Or what do you offer me? Thank you very much for your help.
Need a better clear then 5520 from nexa. Feel it's too thick.
Thanks for the awesome tricks..god blessss..cuidate campeon.
+Dimitri Dam thanks brother!! Igualmebte
Grate job, and well explain. ? what if you don't have a spray both .
Ec520 is good for air dry too. Check out the ppg website for those dry times
Hey Gabriel. Can you do a video on the 520 baking it at 140 for 15 min please
+Rick Whitaker 😀
Nice job
Moto v painter,,are you using the 520 clear on a daily basis.?Do use the 520 clear for high end cars & black color car's, , or just on regular daily driver car??
I use it mostly on sides and small hoods 😁
Cuidate,God bless you ,
Hey Gabriel, is that new clear a MS or HS clear? I have a crossflow spray booth with no heat so I need a medium solids clear that is dust free in about 30 minutes. When I spray HS clear in my booth it takes to long to air dry and I also get micro pops.
From my experience it seams that high solid clears liked to be baked.
+Cameron Marino hey this is a great clear for that is dust free super quick look at the technical data sheet it will tell you more info! 😊
This is a dam good clear
Hello! Could you tell me the colour code of that grey panel you did, I'm supposed to do one for a customer and I can't find the code anywhere. Thanks
+Sorin Cosma wb27 BMW 😀
i have my paint booth and i don't have heat like yours w clear you recommend
+Reynaldo Teran ec520
good job
Hi gabriel what would this clear be called in Australia. Because i think we use same peoducts just different labeling.
Is it lvc136 or lvc105
Man I have no idea!!!!
What if u don't have a place to bake the 520, how long would u let it set to dry?
It should be good in a couple of hours to put together go see the tech sheet on their ppgredinish website
I hose that clear on and it hasn't pinched back on me.. drys really quick
That's awesome!!!! what do you bake at and flash???
I use ppg8175 and is icredible clear and he is very fast only 5 minute baked and 5 flash of between coat i want to review on him if you can
+Aleksander mit sorry brother I don't use that clear 😠
MOTIVATED PAINTERS if you can tested that clear brother ,you never sorry (he is incredible )respect!!!
Great info video, how much is this clear in cnd dollars?
+Val it would be same price as ec530-550
Debeer 80hs is great for timing saving It's 1.5 coats . Back to back no flash and bake immediately ...
marshallpulham name seems familiar...f150 forum?
Hey! Yep thats correct! 😜
+marshallpulham haha Marsh you are everywhere!! =
Haha apparently so hey! If it makes you feel better I've retired my f150 forum days and I really only mainly follow you 💪🏼
Hey i liked having you on there. It was nice to have another voice of reason, among all the " my brand new truck has 3 rock chips in 10,000 miles. My last vehicle had 300,000 miles and didn't have a single chip" posts.
I ordered some Friday. Hoping to use it next week, but how does it polish out compared to 530? Hard as a rock?
+Chris yeah it's nice and hard right after bake
530 sucks to buff almost impossible if not buffed in ahour
I think I speak for many, most of us have booths but not ovens, could you specify or make a video about spraying without an oven and what material would be best
+Gust Namo this clear is great for spraying without an oven that's for sure if you take a look at the tech sheet you'll see that it is dust free very quickly for a clear that has outstanding shine 😀 everything would be the same without and oven the only thing that would change from all my videos would be that the clear would have to sit a lot longer. And this clear will be perfect for that 😊
MOTIVATED PAINTERS do you know how long more? I understand the temperature should be around 75 degrees. in your words do you think this is the most convenient clear for people without ovens? or would you recommend something else
+Gust Namo depending on what you want I would say if you care for the finish and shine then yes this is a great clear for no oven but if you don't care for the finish of UV protection then other faster clears are available and cheaper price. I don't use them so I can't speak on them. Like I said look at the tech sheet that I posted it will be more informative than I will be
MOTIVATED PAINTERS cool, thanks man, awesome videos.
+Gust Namo thankyou! 😊😊😊😊😊
You say the spray viscosity is 14-15 seconds. What cup is that for (Zahn #2 - or what)??
+Dave Sage Din cup 😊
Sorry to be a pest but what orifice size on the cup. (Assuming you mean a Din 53221 cup which can range from 2-8mm). Perhaps you don't actually concern yourself with it because you have the computer to tell you how much thinners (if any) to mix. If so no problem. Just wondering. Great when you review new products.Thanks
+Dave Sage yes sir I don't really concern myself with it but the most common Din cup will do as long as you are fairly close you will be golden 😉😀😀 not a worry!!! Thanks for caring enough to write!!! 😊😊😊
+Dave Sage dincup number #129035v-02 is what I use 😀
Great. Thanks.
Hi gab I paint this clear 2time but still run without baking
When I leave it at 23c it’s become run so do u have some idea for stop run without baking and without orange peel????
+Alane Atika stop putting so much on haha. Just kidding hit seriously try to find the balance. It's hard to get it to lay down without any orange peel. The only jobs ever without any orange peel are cut and polished jobs
Many thanks bro
MOTIVATED PAINTERS do you know what clearcoat factories use?
They are all different
What do u think of ec520 compare to ec800 ?
+Jing Liao I like ec520 much better unless is a very small repair. 520 is a great clear you could apply to a whole side and still have great shine and build.
Ec800 is thin like water and its not good for spraying panels!!!!!
Any info on the spray booth that is on the shop?
+Elías Hdez it's a German made booth called wolf taifune you can google it they are common in Germany 😀😀
Thanks Gabriel! I loved the video so much that I spent a lot of time on the PPG channel and I found this comparison of the clear coats you mentioned in the video:
ruclips.net/video/2kPl_Ar-jQo/видео.html
Btw, would be nice if you could link the guns in the description of your videos, even better affiliate the links with Amazon :).
+Elías Hdez haha thanks a lot man!!! I wish I did but this guns aren't available on Amazon for the most part. But I will try to get more links on there!!
How much is a gallon of that fast clear???
+JBIRD575 not sure my friend you sold have to ask your distributor
MOTIVATED PAINTERS ok
Have you ever used octoral Clears bud?
+quikie1984 hey no brother I haven't sorry!!
MOTIVATED PAINTERS no worrries mate. Keep up the great videos, right?! 😄👊🏻✌🏻 oh and drop me a link for some stickers if you have any 👍🏻
+quikie1984 hey brother you can grab some at on here www.motivatedpaibters.con/store/
+quikie1984 www.motivatedpainters.com/store/
MOTIVATED PAINTERS order placed dude 🤘🏻
I feel like that clear is super similar to the ppg ec800 I really don't like it . :/
+Andrew Orona you got to use it like the tech sheet says and you will love it. If you bake it to high it dies back if you flash it to ling it dies back but if you follow the sheet it's actually an amazing clear I've seen the shine is incredibke and you can put the car together 20 minutes after a 20 min bake at 120 metal temp! But it is similar to the 800
This clear blows ec800 Away for shine and texture! Try some and follow the tech sheet , you will much happier with this clear vs. the 800.
800 is only good for small jobs
Pretty sure those information pages are PPG proprietary info 🙄
They are available on their website
@Gabriel Merino
😄 that's funny I've never been on the website... I am a painter in Canada and I have 22 years in the trade, I have used all kinds of products and PPG is quite good!
I am using it now for about five months and I haven't had many colour issues.
Do you need a password to get access to this information on the website or is it available for public consumption?
Братан! Пришли мне один 1⃣ комплект токого лака please 😋😊😊😊
+Maks Belyaev покраска авто okay happy faces are a good thing!!! 😂
Lol this is the first time I have ever seen you get a little sassy Gabe.. geez oh peets take notes bums ;)
Lololol 🤪 I am human you know haha
@@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS oh stop it ;)You are a machine.. that sprays like a OG. I would love to have half your knowledge ;) btw I had major issues with this clear when I started spraying.. you can't stress enough how Important or how much trouble it will eliminate referring to tech sheets. Few years back I knew it all and didn't need anyone telling me what to do, long story short it didn't work out.. haha tech sheets tech sheets TECH SHEETS I wish I would have went by them.. one of those things, I wish I knew then what I know now ..
Great review Gabe! I just got my first gallon of 520 a few days ago. I'm still dialing it in but so far i'm really liking it! Check out my instagram, jpaint74 to see my progress with this new clear! Keep up the good work!
