What size tip ya using in your Tekna?[/quote]
Its the 1.3 and the 7E7 air cap.
I gather by all the talk tonight that everyone wants me to model more often :lol1[/quote]
I’m not too sure how warm it gets there in the summer but if the humidity is low you may want to look into a 1.4 for your Tekna for basecoat. It’s only about $100 in the states for a tip and needle for that gun. If it doesnt get too hot you might be fine.[/quote]
It can get pretty hot in the summer, I will definitely keep that in mind. Thanks! :cheers
this ones for u benny:weights :weights :weights :weights

just what we need to see. Bondo holding his Horsecock :sick:

Thanks Jayson. Devilbiss recommends the 1.3 with the Tekna (for auto wave), but I will try the 1.4 when it is warmer. For the last few metallic jobs I haven’t really dropped the pressure (like I did with the ehp), rather just backed off to about 12″ or so for the drop coat. I’ve been doing my spray out cards 1/2 with and 1/2 without the drop coat. That one drop coat makes a huge difference on most colours
You need to drop your pressure for your control coat along with 12-14 inch distance,that is important for color match I’m not just saying that for fun it is taught in the application course.I know other painters in my area that use the 1.4 in there tekna year round for autowave and found a huge all around improvement.I run a sata 3000hvlp with a 1,4 HC all year round and have had no troubles,1.3 is not going to give you the film build and you will have trouble with difficult colors due to over-atomization and going on too dry IMHO.
Jayson is correct. You will turn a silver with EC or DC into a bass boat in the summer with a 1.3. Trust me on this. There are times here when the 1.4HC doesnt wet it up enough.
Have a look at [url=http://www.autorefinishdevilbiss.com/docs/paint_co/Sikkens%20Waterborne_2.pdf]THIS[/url] Ben. Devilbiss recommends a 1.4 to 1.5 with a 1.4 being optimal for most conditions.

I did have a look at that before and thought it said 1.3 or 1.4 (not 1.4 or 1.5). But I probably wasn’t wearing my glasses when I read that :blush:
The other bodyman at work is pretty good with the product, unfortunately neither of us has had the luxury of the training course…just what we read in the tech sheets and the little experience we have with the product.
I appreciate all the input Ryan and Jayson :teach
well no wonder i can’t make the paint look good i wear the same brand paint suit as bondo:P
Akzo in calgary is awesome,make a call to Scott hefley or to Glenn(tech rep) and explain what is going on with your shop.They would be more than happy to come out and make sure you are up to speed with the product and proper application technique,that is what they are there for.They want you to have a good experience with autowave,and it will save you and the shop any hassle and unwanted headaches.
how is it you guys can turn a serious thread into a break bennys balls thread and a break bennys balls thread into a serious thread :chair
