I'm just a hobby painter. I stopped using any machines for sanding. The reason is the "pig tail" problem. By hand sanding I can hear it and stop and clean it. It sounds like the small birds in the garden tweeting LOL but a good tell. I've watched your vids for a long time and have learned so much! You're so right about how long it takes. Seems the closer you get to finishing the longer it takes! I've done the whole thing from engines (including my own machine work), drive trains and interiors but love the painting the most. Getting too old to start any big projects so your vids bring back good memories. Looks awesome!
2nd year apprentice spray painter here and I have to say I really appreciate your videos and how you show the way it should be done and explain through it. Love the vids man keep it up
Hallo gunni.
Yes. It Takes a lot of Time.
I had a Full respray on my Golf 6r
From Black to ara Blue cristal
2 coat clear. Dry 3 Weeks. Blocking to Zero and another 2 coats clear.
And then the work begins
All with a 2.5 mm da air Maschine
800-1000-1500-2000 dry with covax
3000-5000 tritact.
I buffed everything. Doors inside. The entering Space ( i dont know the word i am from germany.tve Place around Where the door seals are)
And then polish
First Step - wool !!!!! It cuts so Safe and you can Go near to any corner etc. With Rupes cutting polish.
Then take Menzerna. Great Products.
I am not finished at all. :)
Hey man. Little tip
Next time, if you bomb the costs on, then wait a week. Give it a 1200 block then leave it another 3 weeks or so and it will cure more thoroughly. The broken surface will let the solvents out 😊
I didn't realize how much time it would take me either after painting my bonnet how much time it actually took me to sand it back flat and polish it, That was a mad amount of time. Love you vids mate keep them coming.
Full time spray painter from the UK here 🤙 i can totally relate to the headaches with the pigtails 😂 seems to take an absolute age.. but i’m looking forward to getting my old VW off the road hopefully this year or next year, and going into the same level of detail you are with your car 🙏 been a fan for years, big love 🫶💙
Been watching since the start, just wanted to say congratulations I'm giving the restoration 2 thumbs up. Wish I could meet ya halfway somewhere in Melbourne, Im from the northern suburbs and work for Preston wheels and Tyres, we do a good job too! Cheers man. Enjoy.
My daughter passed her test so I bought her a sxxt box as you do needs painting as the lacquers peeling here and there so I’ve been watching your channel for advice and how you paint cars ! Having never done it before I’m gonna have a go when it warms up so I’ll politely tell her it’s your fault if it turns out crap 🤣🤣 only joking of course wish me luck Gunny your cars friggin awesome looking dude love it 🤙
Did my daily in Quartz Kristall clear, and I regret it a lot. When time came to wetsand imperfections and make the clear smooth I had a rough time getting the clear to polish like I wanted to. I ended up sand to 3000 grid and then using wool pad with sonax cutmax followed by yellow rupes with perfect finish. Spend days getting it done.
Never had a problem with Liquid Glass, very nice clear coat.
If your clear is good and hard you can try a wool pad at high speed and it should knock that clear down pretty fast.
👍I tried the denim pads a few weeks ago 2000 grit they take out a fair bit of orange peel without sanding but they can be risky on burning edges and they are quite hard to handle on a rotary polisher
Yes usually the box comes with a velcro type of soft hand block. Its like super thin. They normally always have a new velcro soft pad with every box for the 400 grid and 600 grid we used to use.
for the small 3m sheets?
Awesome job gun and you’re 100% right on the rotary buff. I did try the 3d one polish/compound with a dual action polisher with buff and shine microfiber pad.on my 2003 gmc sierra took the oxidation off and light scratches out.
Toy car looks fantastic. Happy new year gumnie!!
Nice work Gunny. I’m doing a similar polishing process to my car but I’m using Kovax Buflex dry sand paper and having pretty good results, there’s a few stray pigtails here and there but not too bad. I reckon you should give it a try if you can get hold of some and compare it to 3m trizac (it would make a good video)
I’m going 1500 dry - 2500 dry straight to compound with wool pad on rotary and finish with polish on a dual action
For the left over pig tails that become visible after compounding I’ve been hand sanding with a bit of 2500 wet and back to wool pad
I think that going in 500 grit increments will result in less pigtails and easier polishing; 1500 - 2000 - 2500 - 3000 but it’s more money and more time
after wet sanding if u let it gas off for a couple days it will rubout easier by doing that u will allow what was trapped under the shell to escape what was trapped under is not enough to cause solvent pop
Love your work mate, i don’t paint anymore but find it still very interesting 🙌 also i can remember pig tails as far back as 15 years ago 😂
Agree! Hate the hard clears! Garbage to polish.
Good job, looks amazing! Can swim in it!
Hi Gunman try the jeans buff pad it will make your first stage polishing much easier
3:00 you’re almost as big of a 3m fan boy as I. 3m abrasives cost less than what others do by the time you take into account how long it lasts!
Happy new years bro😊
Turned out awesome
One more step to go...
The ceramic coat, which will make it blinding at night with lights hitting it.
Excellent garage masterpiece...
Gunnny,you should have put the car in the supercruise at summernats.
Man u have to get thr bosch 18v orbital sander that thing is a beast for 1500 on up da sanding this don't stop the good is starts up easy then go to speed I really like bosch m18 sanders u won't have no sandpaper pigtails at all like your videos
I have always had problems with sanding rings when using the 3m 1500. I was also surprised when you said that you were going to hit it with 1200 because for me every time I tried to block out clear coat with anything more than 1500 I always got deep sanding marks that took forever to get out.
I think I would shit my pants taking sand paper to such nice paint 😂. Great work.
Looks awesome!! 😎 We used to use the sunlight 1200 grit, there were ok but did clog a little. Why your on detailing is there such a thing as pencil like sandpaper? I have a stone chip in an awkward spot on a bonnet so I want to clean the rust out and touch it in then flat it back. Keep up the great work! 🤜
I guess you could rig something up, but I wonder if you could get the right sized drill bit and clean it up that way. Gentle obviously, no holes in the bonnet haha 😆
Also rember foam may suck the power from sander
Use no foam on da cause less resistance
Yo, bro, wanted to buy a shirt to support you and the information you give us. I checked out your links, and, "you" have no merch? Dude, gotta at least get a small supply of shirts in stock. Get yourself a shiela and put her to work sending them out when she is not busy so you always know where she is :)
Do a story about your tattoos bro.... That's art too🎉🎉🎉🎉
I use a cheapy air orbital with 1000, 3000, 5000, 8000, all wet, then go to rotary buff with blue bottle 3m ,, i buffed my car dead paint did 8000 wet, then buff come up sweet. I am an amater, but get some nice results
Looks fantastic. I’m tossing up whether to go single stage direct gloss or topcoat it with clear. What would you say for a 60s car?
That's a hard one, depends on what you want it to look like, I went for top notch, but some prefer closer to original.
Hi again, just a quick update as I finally started polishing the mustang. I tried using powder guidecoat between most of the sanding grits and it worked remarkably well. It's a light coloured car so the black guidecoat I had was fine. I had a massive amount of dust in the job so after a lot of tungsten work I started with 800 on the acrylic Melomotive block and the black block where it was a bit more curvy. Just eyeballed the progress on the 800 grit until all the dust was flattened. Guide coated the 800 and started on the 1200 and it was very obvious when there was still 800 grit scratches. Next was another guide coat and then 2000. Once the 2000 was done I didn't bother with the guide coat again but hit it with the 3000 trizac. Polishing was done with a wool disc and Colad one-step compound. Probably a bit more work than I would have liked, but the end result was well worth it. flic.kr/p/2ps4Rhp flic.kr/p/2ps9zM5
Well, look at the bright side with the sander, you wont burn through the finish! 🤣🤣🤣
2 thumbs up my friend
would you have done a flow coat if you were using a booth or would you have done it the same out of curiosity
Bro i had the same issue with pig tails. I strictly block everything at this point wet or dry. No machines for wet sanding
I didn't do that, but since doing the bonnet I didn't seem to have that issue.
How long would you wait for home job before polishing?
First class bud🏆
Meguiars 105 and 205 is the decent shit to go with 105 for buffing 205 for polish, microfiber cutting pad with a mow down cut will knock out alot
Compound n pad combo is always a thing for testing depending on your surface and substrate but for what i see a mf cutting pad will knock down alot fast, then follow through with say maybe a medium foam pad to feather it in possibly polish. All depends on the end result you want
I like how our country and culture is so different, we restore Camaro's you restore a Vauxhall type car
Ficou um espelho meu amigo..
Great job, I find using a sander with a 2.5mm orbit makes a big difference with fine grades like 1200 up, 5mm orbit is more for 320 - 800 grit
I had the same issues with the 3m blue foam pads when wet they seem to suck down on to the panel and stop the da from rotating don’t know if it has something to do with the tiny holes on those pads, they are good pads for the money and definitely work better with smaller orbit orbital sander
Nice work man
👏👌👍
Can someone explain what’s the purpose of the soft interface pad on the orbital as apposed to the hard backing that’s on the machine, does the only difference it makes is just it sands a bit more faster and aggressive? It doesn’t change the actual grit of the paper on it right? Will 800 for example with soft pad be the same as 800 without the soft pad?
It's just less aggressive on edges etc, hard pads on orbitals can dig in if you're not very careful
@@TheGunmanChannelyeah right thank you for that. Because I work with tradesmen and they always tell me with feathering out etc use the hard backing the go over it with soft pad but never explained why, so even if it’s the same sandpaper will going over the scratches from hard backing with 240 for example over it with the soft pad 240 even do anything? Thanks In advance
@@andrewAssasin2003 a skilled tradie can still get caught out not using the interface pad on prep work
Rotary over dual action any day I don’t care what anyone says .. careful about what lights you buff under. It can be very disappointing when you take it outside 🤦♂️
💯 man
I like paint that you can shave in... If the reflection is near flawless, the bodywork is near flawless. When I started blocking for reflection perfection I wouldn't use anything other than 1500 then 2000.
NOW I realize if there is a little orange peel, hard block with 800 2 passes then a couple with 1000. I do love the 3000 /5000 foam pads.
For final polishing I use a Cyclo Orbital twin 3" counter rotating polisher and/or a Makita geared dual action orbital which I love for final polish.

and thats under flo lights, wait till its outside!!
If you started off polishing with a wool pad you wouldn't have had to go over and over the panel with the foam pad.
FOLLOW You ,,Looks great, whats the color mate ???
Can't remember the code but it's Ford Orange Fury
Why are those buffers so expensive? $400 for a PolishFlex? Really????? I am calling AzzrRaype on this one!!
More hours in colour sanding and polishing its a lot of work
Yea chasing the cc's are a prick. All the polishers on the internet get away with everything looks better on or in a pic. But real time n doing yourself its as much of a mission to polish it as it is to paint. Thort it was just me lol 😂
The only thing missing from this vid , is removing the mask and showing the difference between polished and non polished.
I will do that in future vids. Stay tuned mate
Hi gunman, love the learning process and that you finally achieved your desired result. I stumbled across a US site that does high end show jobs a while ago and although most of their procedures go way above what i would ever want to do there is some parts that are very informative. A recent (very long) episode was on polishing and they mentioned the use of powder guide coat during the polishing process to make sure that you get all the sanding scratches out of the various grits as you work up through them. I haven't tried this myself yet, but will try it on the mustang that I have just painted in the next month or so. Worth a watch. ruclips.net/video/2meI3jnGajo/видео.htmlsi=3INuG5g1QIumeb49
Привет. Я могу тебе рассказать как я делаю самодельную проявку из подручных средств, берём примерном пол литра воды(половина маленькой бутылочки от кока-кола) добавляем туда пару грамм пасты для колеровки интерьерной краски и столько же, пару грамм самой краски для интерьеров на водной основе. Взбалтываем и наносить губкой, тонким слоем.
Dude, get away from those edges, lol!!!
Gunny get your hand on what I use. It’s Festool RO150FEQ. You won’t find a better sander IMO
Hey Mate,
I’m a spray painter aswell and I only use Sonax polishes and I’ve never had an issue with Ultimate Cut being watery… did you shake it before? Make sure to give it a thorough shake before using it and you’ll be sweet as. If taken out up to p800 with it. Good luck!
