And Money!
Cheaper to figure it out here than to screw up a metallic blend and have to do it twice!

except for the fact that it wont do anything for you on a solid color. you will not see any difference. Honestly if you are worried about screwing up the application of one coat of clear base, there is no way you should be blending metallics :wakI probably shouldnt be, but im gunna anyway! Im crazy like that!
You really need to go to an application/certification course,you are in over your head….sorry
Agreed, but for now, its figure it out as you go along. Also hoping this guy can show me a thing or two along the way.
It’s 2013 why are u using dbu? :kofee
Because we dont want to wait around all day for water to dry.

How much water have you sprayed?

oh boy :exci
Ive sprayed some. I have used it for some custom work I do.
By the way I got to use some of the 500 today. Did a rear bumper cover on a Beemer in metallic black. I sprayed the 500 on first. Glad I did too, because you could see a couple little funky spots, like maybe I didnt clean it well enough. Did a second coat and it was fine. Blended the base, and cleared the whole cover of course. Looks good. I like it! Also it made me feel better because the other guy hogged the primer on and I had to hit it first with some 220 dry before I wetsanded it. Wasnt feeling super confident I got all the scratches out. So it made me feel better knowing I was going to fill in any scratches that may have still been there. I sprayed it, let it flash for about 5 min, then sprayed the second coat, let it flash for closer to 10 min, then went to the base.
What brands?judging by your “all day to dry” satement you really don’t have any experience with it.That is a typical internet statement that is false.Waterborne is just as fast or faster than solvent.
Water is actually faster on small jobs like spotting in a cover for a Beemer 😉
I believe it was AutoAir if I remember right.
And if it drys so fast, why do you need to put air dryers on it? I dont have to do that with solvents.
