    [quote]NICE!!, how do u like the PPG clear compared to SPI?[/quote]

    SPI lays out nicely, so does the dc3000, I went with the dc3000 because of its rapid drying time, anything to minimize on dust. I would have used fc710, but I dont have much experience with it.

    Are those pics after color sanding? Looks great! Did you use the LPH400 on that?

    Nexson nice job.Next time try the dch3070 hardner.I use this one when I’m doing a bumber or fender, door it dries faster, have had good luck with it.I have used the dc3000 and dc4000 for a few years and the fc710 They sprays real close to the same as each anothere.

    But to be honest I can’t tell any difference in the before and after photos from 10′ away. :unsure:[/quote]Yea, Much understood, this thing had fisheyes in alot of places and a signature waterfall that buffed out somewhat.

    Those pictures are after after about 25 minutes. At that point no wetsanding had been done at all. Pictures arent processed either. I did some de-nibbing today. I used the LPH400 with a 1.3

    Good advice easy, however in my situation with my small booth, it does not filter out the overspray as fast as I spray it, so by the end of the first coat, I am painting in a total cloud. I use the 85 temp hardener to buy me some extra time for the OP to clear out before the second coat, without the qst coat skinning over.

    The 70 temp hardner might work out quite well for my small parts =)

    nice work there Brian. The booth is nice, but you’ll have to get some ducting and a fan to suck out the cloud. that’s no fun.

    very nice finish on the clear. I’m still struggling to get a consistent finish over larger areas. I always end up with a little bit of dry spray and/or runs somewhere…

    Very nice indeed, witch cap do you use for your LPH? I also has the 1.3 but it’s so slow and I don’t get it to flow out like that.
