Good work man, I'm with you about directional sanding, perhaps not so with a large flat surface but generally yes.
What I really want to say though, is that I started messing around with painting 6 years ago and your channel really inspired me and helped me along. I actually quit my job (where I had 60-70 people under me) to pursue a career in the industry 12months ago. I have been assessed as a 3rd year already and I honestly look forward to every day at work. Never have I been happier in my life. BTW, I'm 46yrs old....
Thank you Gunman, I salute you bro 😉

Like the idea of doing more videos at home. You did alot in bodyshops but most of us who look at your videos are home DIYers so we can relate better.

Watched alot of your videos last year along with Paint society and you both helped me ALOT to completley respray my 1996 Supra at home 😎🤟🏾

Home garage setting. I like it!
I have a dedicated space, but its not a spraybooth. Its a garage bay with white plastic, insulation, a wall separating my compressors. Pretty decent diy set-up. Fans and filters, powerwashing everything before paint. I enjoy it👍

Nice video Gunny. Proof that you don't need a £30, 000 paint booth to do a great job, it's the bloke behind the tools and the spray gun that make it what it is. Great finished result.

Looks great bud! As far as blocking goes, as long as your not putting grooves in it, thats all that matters! Even though you're blocking linearly, you are keeping the block moving in different areas and slanting the block so as that it's not moving perfectly parallel. Common sense is the name of the game...which doesn't seem to be so common anymore. this whole thing with guide coat too. I use it occasionally in poor lighting, but if your lighting is good it's really not neccesary, you can literally see whats being sanded and whats not. I keep a micro fiber towel close by so that I can wipe the dust off the panel to see whats going on...it's not hard stuff. I use the towel because I'm not a big fan of blowing dust into the air every 5 minutes, and the micro fiber really cleans that fine dust off well allowing me to see everything clearly.

Those metallic reds I use a solid red base first, roughly to same shade as the car, to cover the primer first. Almost treat as a 3 stage even though it's not. As a smart repairer find it helps without having to put so many coats of the metallic base on. Great video, like the kind DIY style home stuff.

I look forward to your VW garage video! Thanks, Phillip Hall

I like doing directional first and finish with a diagonal cross pattern. But honestly I think it doesn't really matter also long as what ever your doing works good for you and ends with a good finish on the vehicle.

[alanjones]

Thats it, the end result is all we're after. 😆 well i learnt from you mate so im a directional sander. I like the blocks, also need a vacuum. They definitely helps keep dust down.

[lesskinner]

Agree, the DV-1s is an awesome little touch up gun, great fan width for size.
You ever used a vacuum with the random palm sanders for prep and filler, first blocking blocking, and final palm sander 400 / 600 ?
Vacuum keeps that dust under control nicely, and using the velcro ceramic papers for the random palm or blocks, they last so long !
I use a fairly cheap 40lt 240v Ryobi vac from Bunnies, no BS there is no dust at all in the air or going all over the panel.
Noisy bugger though, hearing pro a must !!
Not a bad job pushing the dent out, the heat and getting that bodyline out is key (42 years a beater / painter, 8 years PDR).

I'm looking forward to seeing your home garage videos. They appeal to me more as my garage is where I do all my painting. I've been watching your channel for years and learnt a lot from you. Can't wait to see your extraction set up for the garage.

If getting a smooth finish look on the body filler it should not matter how you block sand it if you are going to be using a orbital da, it is the paper that you use and the stages of grit that you go up in, as long as the next grit removes the previous grit scratches and you keep the shape of the panel there is no wrong way or right way to smooth out body filler, bog, bondo, mud or muck, or whatever you call body filler.

You do great work and the finish is the proof in your work, a smooth mirror finish if that is the finish you are looking for.

Keep up the good work and keep your head high and proud of the workmanship you produce, don't let the doubters get you down.

I was always told when doing body filler cross hatching to key the surface to apply body filler over cured body filler so that the fresh body filler can get a key grip to the old or cured body filler.

Im a diy autobody dude...CNC machinist an welder is my trade. anyhow I always have used Gunnys technique time is money

[BogDustForBreakfast]

Honestly mate as long as your guide coating and watching how its coming off while sanding, you can cross hatch block or block straight and expect to get good results .. personally the way i do every job is cross hatch but i know blocking it straight gets the job done too! wet checking the primer with wax and grease remover is a quick way to check before paint as well . i know you know that tho, was mainly for people reading. tail gate come up alright . bit of plastic up and water gets the jobs done . having constant "clean" air flow is also really good also .

[AutoTech]

I think your block sanding techniques are real good and you're a boss at your work....

[LTVoyager]

I use directional for panels that have a crease or significant curvature. I like cross hatch for large, flat panels as it gives a more even finish generally with less chance of waviness. So, I say both are correct, but in different situations.

[markstone]

Always crossed section when sanding, I can't see how it would work doing full panels any other way, but you can't argue with the end result, I guess you have a good eye and experience to do what you do, for some one starting new I would only show them cross sanding as its hard to mess up if done right.

The exchange of knowledge is a very good thinking

Thanks for the video. Found you by someone on Amazon recommending you for the review of the paint gun you use. I've never used a paint gun in my life other than airless but I want to switch up my game. I am rebuilding older tractors now for parades and want to have a nice paint job on them. So if you get this message in the next couple of days, could you shoot me back a note about the brand of gun I should buy. I see this video is about a year old and products have gotten better so, yeah, let me know. I have an 80 gal compressor 15.5 CFM so that's not a limit for me. I am restricted in $$ (aren't we all) so about $300 is the cap for now. Thanks so much. Mark

Everyone is just blowing past the fact that Gunny has hair! Must have grown it out to keep warm in Victoria 😂
