[quote=”pierceg” post=24825]Ryan,
Sorry, I understood everything except for the solid content bit. I would love for you to explain that to me.And would people actually get upset at you for giving out really direct information like that? :ban?
(This thread got confusing a long time ago) On the subject of trade secrets, Ed Leedskalnin knows a lot of trade secrets. If you would like to learn what those are, I would type his name into YouTube. That’s what I did yesterday, good times.[/quote]
The solid content of the clear is listed in the Tech sheet for the product you are using. Older clears were low and medium solids. new clears are medium to high solids. it basically means there are less solvents in them and more of the stuff that is actually going to stay on the car. thats why knowing the solid content of the product you are spraying is critical to the set up of the gun.What Ding said is correct.
Don’t let the nay sayers here get you down, we will get your Supernova dialed in in no time and you will be painting sheets of glass that will not need a buffer.
have you copied down the instructions, as I need to take them down, I have been getting alot of PM’s threatening me to remove them.

Well….. Ryan , You forgot about the Elevation and Temperature deviations. And my sheets use a Ford Cup not a Zhan. But my sheets maybe older than yours :chair

All elevation and temp variables are accounted for by viscosity. The reason they use a Zahn cup is they are more accurate the a #4 Ford cup
Yeah I did write it down actually lol. I’ll remember to delete my reply to that post too.
** I feel bad for the people who spend all night reading this thread in the future, sorry guys. 🙁 **Okay so I just learned what a Zahn cup is and now I’m wondering what kind of system you use yourself? Is there a brand that is best for automotive clear coat?
And is there a kind of clear coat that is better for this gun? Or do they all have the ability lay glass flat?
I appreciate your help by the way.
did you see the tip on wearing cotton gloves while spraying? and your right about the cups . but whats a couple centistokes between friends.
I don’t usually give pro advice to beginners but your passion for having an edge on the rest of the painters out there has made me re think. So here goes, I have the best tool for laying glass clear coat. It’s called a dewalt. You should go down to you local paint supplier an tell them you need one. You will know it when you see it. It’s yellow. That’s the best know secret for a glass like job! Hope this helps!
