I love his accent so much!!! Not to mention he is a really good painter.

I am mostly a frame tech and body specialist. With your help I'm blowing the minds of the paint techs. with my paint jobs with your help

Thanks Gunman, invaluable vids and admirable commitment to sharing the art of your skill.

Hi from the UK Loving your tips I'm learning a lot thanks

Came here to see how’s it’s done 🤓painted my car and added some flake and I regretted it after .I didn’t know you had to sand it down to get get all the rough flake down then clear coat it again now I’m happy I can do it the right way thanks 🙏

Heya Gunman, I’m really enjoying these videos! I’ve taken your advice and I’ve got out into the shed to paint some shit! First project was a guitar I’m making. Painted in hi opacity white from Concept Paints. Then covered in silver ghost flake, some pearl gold graphics then clear. Waiting now for a couple of weeks to sand the whole shebang before I flowcoat. Really happy so far, laughed at your comments about the panels looking like you’d thrown a handful of sand on them. That’s exactly what I said!!! Cheers 👍🏼

Great video and that flake looks amazing on maroon and have taken and used fine line and use the flake to add a painted pinstripe border with heavy flake.Makes it look like a silver fine line border❤️👍

You make it look so easy. But when you do it as much as you do, it is easy. Thanks

Nice one mate, I've never been a fan of flakes personally but some people like the effect I guess! Would be interesting to do maybe one or two test panels and see how the go! Cheers for the vid!

Always nice to see a pro at work !

you got some amazing skills thankyou for the share

Great demo on the use of DNA

I love spraying large metal flakes. Sometimes I mix them with interclear and spray over jet black and other times I mix them with kandy paint and spray over metallic bases. The combinations are endless and with my bench rifle stocks I make and paint it is fun to come up with colors for a customer so he can go to a match with a paint job no other bench rifle there will have

I'm gonna try to apply this method when painting my interior trims

Other nice work from you with that metal flakes :-) i can say every time i watch your videos i learn something new :-) Just keep going with your nice work because i never get tired to watch your videos :-)

Since watching your videos I've started painting anything i can and when i feel i have it right, I will do the black base silver marble effect and then candy blue. Yep its a big ask but you make it sound possible and the tests i've done so far are pretty good. So thanks for the videos, you rock.

Be great if you could show your results with candy blue, am sure it must look awsome

awesome work dude, now i know the texture of what my old car had. gonna get mine Metal flaked while im baked lol

Good video, we all have or little do's and don'ts. enjoyed!

Hello S P R A Y M A N I subscribed. I've been learning how to spray in college. I enjoy watching your show because its packed with information. So, I learn from you too now. I'll have to watch from the beginning and take notes of the equipment used, techniques, and products, and know-how tips WOW. You motivate me Good DAY

As always gunny great work.

That black flake panel is bloody beautiful! I've been debating doing the bottom bit of my car in black; now I think I may have to see about getting some of that DNA flake! I recently lost about half the vision in my right eye, so I'm not sure if it's me or if the camera is just having trouble picking up the subtlety of the silver panel, but it didn't seem to "pop" quite as much as the black did. You'd mentioned that some of the clearcoats you've used have had a yellow tint to them. I've found in the past--at least with rattle cans--that you can use that to your advantage. I've intentionally tinted clearcoats with yellow to bring out a lot more depth when finishing certain colors; particularly green metallics that are a bit more on the warm side. I've also done a lightly blue-tinted clearcoat over both black and dark metallic gray, which created quite a fascinating result. A friend of mine called it "Electric Gunmetal." You couldn't see the blue tint unless you were really looking for it, but the way the basecoat reflected was wild. :D

Thanks for sharing your expertise The Gunman

I own a black car, I'd give my right arm for my paint work to be accented with that metallic look. Great Vid.

NICE JOB THANKS FOR THE DEMO!

the black looks awesome ! nice job... something i've never done!

Nice tattoo! Nice painting!

That black plus flake on my Canyon Ultimate... would look stunning

Awesome mate.. My girlfriend wants her wheels like that. Another job for me.

they make bottom air feed cups ..used them in the 80's to keep the pearls that just came out mixed up to stop blotching when fogging 3 stage paints were new then and expensive

Thanks Gunman ! I like metal flake, and there have been a few new options introduced since I last got flakey ! I had acceptable results with the older techniques. I will absolutely use intercoat clear in next project ! : )

It just seems to speed up the process as the intercoat dries so quick, plus I guess there'd be less film build but I guess end results would be similar.

I put an stainless steel 3/8" nut in my gravity fed cup and swirl with my wrist to make sure I keep it agitated. I also have a SHARPE stirring cup for a conventional suction fed.

Awsome,Thanks for that and looking forward in doing a candy blue marble effect on my Mitsubishi L200 ute

Sifon feed gun is lot better than a gravity feed as well as putting a couple marbles in the sifon feed gun for stirring every pass or so to keep the flake suspended other wise it it start to settle at the bottom of the cup I've done a lot of flake jobs on bikes and cars .. But your doing a good job with the gravity feed gun I've seen some where the flake settled in the gun and can out as blotchy patches were there was more flake in one spot than another.. I done a few with just a light dusting so there in not as much flake just the odd one here and there type thing just to add a little sparkle to the paint job so the looking at it from about 2 meters back it has a nice touch off the odd color red, green, etc. Rainbow flakes I've even used on my outdoor patio table on top of gold flake. Myself I use the biggest flake and don't sand through when sanding and u use a block wet sanding becouse with the rubber block I use it as a squeeze and pull the water aside to see where I'm at but then there are usually a few different colors and I don't like to have edge's between the colors ... Would be nice to show your test panels in the sunlight for the real effect like the speed boats sparkling.

Excellent videos mate,I'm just starting out an find your videos very helpful. Anychance you have any vids helping people work out what gun/guns we need an you recommend for biginners

what a great video stunning finish

No wonder they call you The Gunman. You make that clear look like glass!

Love the gunman videos. He is a true master in his art. Love the fact he is not afraid to admit his limitations and teaches us from his mistakes. Perfection every time is nearly impossible. Your videos have really helped me understand car paint. As in prime base and clears, and how to apply them properly. I know you have a lot of videos and I'm just catching up but could you put some of your gun settings in your videos. I'm fairly familiar now but would have help me a lot if I had a better idea on air and material feed

Thank budy.. For the big idea

beautiful job

wanted to say i always liked your techno beat intros on all your videos, you ever go to SEMA tradeshow in las vegas and visit all the paint or refinish display booths? PPG displays always the best display of the entire show. last year wthey did a mardi gras theme that was beyond awesome.

nice work once again!

Thank you for this. I'm making a tombstone for my mom and I think this would be a great finish but mind you I'll have to use something stronger for epoxy final coat. Do all those flakes look rainbowy?

Thanks for sharing great videos. I was given an LVLP gun set and I'm having some trouble figuring them out.. Could you share any advice on when and how to use them? I was told they're good for clear coat. Is there a special formula for mixing coatings. Using your dna panel painting video I painted my street vendor cart,it worked well.Thanks.

farrrr outtttttt your talented!!!!

Great Work Gunman

Ever tried 2 coats of clear, then 2 coats of flake with clear then another 2 coats of clear. Takes awhile but you can get good results without the need of flowcoating

Great videos. Can I ask a question: if I use Createx colours and Candy colours is it possible to finish a job with a regular 2k clear coat?

Great to hear a Aussie!

Nice vid. I hope that in the future you'll do a review for that ANI gun.

im not a painter but great video ,keep up the good work

Hi Gunman, brilliant videos, many thanks for taking so much trouble! Maybe a completely stupid question but: at around the 10 minute mark in the video, you mentioned that you lay one coat of clear down, wait 10 minutes, and then spray the next coat. What do you do with the gun in the meantime? Do you just leave the mixed up paint in the gun and start spraying again, or do you empty the cup, clean the nozzle with thinners?

Hello thank you for your video. Please excuse if this is a stupid question but I have a silver car and was wondering do i still need to do all the prep if I want the base colour to be silver like sanding and everything or can I spray the flake right onto the silver car? Thanks in advance for your advice should you wish to reply.

Nice job. Were you doing more clear coat there at the end? I had a bit of trouble understanding what you were doing. After those last coats, do you sand or buff again? Thanks!

been watching you for a while from Minneapolis Minnesota USA, you paint like i weld... i can fix a panel on a car or a bridge... so now i want to learn how to finish the job.. still trying to figure your language out...i.e. 2 part paint, does this mean paint and hardener? you rock dude!

hello very nice work, what is the size of the nozzle of the gun you use when applying glitter? 1, 1.4, ou 1.7 ? Thanks

Using that same process and incorporating a water drop would look killer on a surfboard. Even if it was just wide stripes.

+FerrariDMC I'm not sure how much of an impact the extra weight of all the clear would have on performance bit apart from that absolutely agree.

that was SLICK!!!! 👍👍

Thanks so much for the vid . I want to paint my van with a black base and hologram flakes but there is a huge price difference between the DNA flakes and unbranded ones . I know it may be difficult for you to say but do you think that for an amateur gunman like myself its worth paying premium ? Cheers ...

The black one has the dramatic effect.

great video.....i have a car that has inferno red paint that has flake in it but its an old paint job factory....i plan on redoing it can i buy the same paint and just ad more flake to it..?..the wife wants more flake.and then put the clear over it..?..and what color flake should i use..?..

Hello sr. May i ask if a 1.7 nozzle tip can be use for this type of job.

Thanx for showing how to do it.

No problems, there are a few variations to technique that some people do but this method works fine as you saw.

15:29 "Get out there and paint some shit" Love it!

Very good and fun and beautiful

I have a minigun with a 1.2mm tip on it, is this good enough to spray out 150 micron size flakes?

what size flake can be used without having too over coat with lacquer

This is why a siphon feed gun is better for flakes...because with an HVLP , every time you rest between coats, the flakes settle into the gun and can't be stirred back up into the cup. So every time you resume spraying, your first trigger pull is loaded with more flake than the following strokes have. You would be better off pointing the gun away from the work and pulling the trigger to clear the gun and then resuming immediately. BTW, use ball bearings in a siphon feed gun for flakes...just like cans of spray paint have.

I bought this metal flakes in a spray can an i sprayed it on white colour and it looks great. I dont like it on black colour because for me it always looks slighly dirty.

every time I open my gold metal flakes, I seem to get flakes all over the place to the point where I'm cleaning inside the house and all my clothes. I never see that in any of your videos, is there some trick to not let the flakes fly all over? I'm not whipping the top off of the jar or anything.

what kind of tips for spraying metal flake 200 micron thank you in advance.

Hey can i spray metallic out side on a still warm morning? Then flake

I'm going for it !

so why did you go back over with clear after sanding. and not wet sand and buff it out?

how do you think those would look over a bright red base coat?

How long did you let the flaked clear coat cure before regular clearing

can i use 1.3mm nozzle in 200 micro metal flakes ? THANK YOU

what is the round equipment u using to roughing the surface ?

can i paint wood like that? and will i get the same results?

So the metallic flake mixed with intercoat is basically a metallic flake clear coat of the base coat?

How much time did you wait betwenn the layers of flakes and your final coats of clear ? sticky tacky ... ?

Hey gunman. Can I put 1k or 2k of clear base before clear lack? Would it work no to put second 2k of clear lack then?

can you link where you buy your blank test panels from please bud?

Hi gunmen, I have the GPI gun, is a 1.4 tip on this model suitable for using to lacquer with.?

can you mix the flake with the base and be fine? I had someone who has been painting for a long time recommend it to me

looks good

Can I mix desired flake with black base coat and then clear over the top?

Is it best to shoot flake over an already clear coat?

what tip sizes do you recomend for flakes

will these paints work for a flexible fiberglass boat? or will it crack

i have good paint can i just put metal flake with clear onto it

could you do rose gold with gold base with gold flakes

Can you put flack on top of candy ? I’m going to use red candy and I want black flakes. Cheers phil.

How many metal flakes go into a liter of varnish?

Thank you

hey gunman... id sure love to have your advice.... im looking at a tricoat paint system with black ground coat with "spectraflair bright silver 20" flakes at 20 microns size (not the holographic version) mixed in the mid coat (possibly tinted) or also considering "PPG Vibrance - Crystallance (TM) Silver VM4501" at 80 microns size. whats nice about these smaller flakes i can use a 1.4mm to tip. is it difficult to spray like a candy? do we have to spray precisely like robot like you do for candies? again im not after holographic color shifting, just the intense silver sparkle these two choices achieve. in the states we have a GM color code called "black diamond", that one uses the "spectraflair flake" (developed by fiber an optics company from silicone valley) and another color code in ppg products only color called "mystique", both are black tri -coats with that intense silver sparkle im after, any experience with any of these flakes or any tips or this type of color? love your show...

Whats is the reducer that you put with the flakes mixing?

Looks like orange peel. ? Will further coats be smoother. Do you have a vertical demo.

sanding and varnishing with p500 not the brands?

How do you keep your gun so clean? 👍
