nice vid nex 😉
Well looks good ,The thing I saw that made me wonder was why did you not just spray the entire cover? to me it looked like you were using a can of spray bomb (maybe Iwatas need to be sprayed that way) :stoned
Keep up the good work and Nice video.
I was fixing some scratches, using the same exact paint used to paint it before the scratches, scratches were only in the area i painted.
Nice vid nexson:cheers :cheers :clappy :cheers :clappy
Nice video. I would work on your gun control. Dont use the gun like a spray can, you can leave the air pressure going and close the fluid off. Should have a 2 step trigger, not familiar with that gun. Make nice long strokes with the gun, not short fast bursts, more likely to have problems with metallics flowing out, even in small repairs. Try to use your whole arm to move the gun not your wrist. Looking good otherwise.. It all takes time.. Your on your way though!!

Exactly. Trigger the gun (always keep the trigger pulled so that air is moving without paint, then pull slightly to allow the paint to come out during your passes, this allows better control and more even paint spray). I wouldn’t bother blending something like that, it won’t make a big difference, especially if you have the same colour. Long even strokes (spray like you are a robot) it will be much quicker and much more even. If you were spraying a really difficult colour with the technique you had (like a gold or transparent colours, pearls, etc) your uneven strokes would show up as darker and lighter areas, maybe even tiger stripes (which can be hard to fix).
The clearing should also be done in long even strokes. Because the pieces you are painting are small and you have a productioin clear that isn;t too fast, you are getting away with your mistakes. I think if you were to paint a larger job, use a super fast clear, use a lesser quality paint gun or low quality (hard to spray) paint you would run into some bigger issues.
I hope that this helps. Overall, for someone with no technical training you are doing very well. I think with some work and practice you could be very skilled.
Just 1 last note, make sure to change those 3M charcoal filters regularly and keep them somewhere safe when not in use (like in a Ziploc bag).
Nice video, keep up the good work and keep asking questions! :clappy
looking pretty sweet Nex. That mini booth setup is great for what it is, and where it is, but some more airflow would sure be nice. You’re working in a cloud like me :dnc
Thanks for the replies fellas, I posted this video, so I can get those instructional replies so once again thank you.
The mist on is a bad habbit, so I need to work on my long strokes when “blending in color”. Don’t get me wrong, I know how to properly overlap with long strokes when painting a piece that needs to be completed covered, but when it comes to blowing color into a set in area I have a bad habbit of triggering it, which is why I over-empahsized it. I was hoping something would point that out and steer me in the correct direction, so thanks!
Jayson stated even that I was putting my basecoat on to dry and to open up my fluid to around three turns as I am out around 2.25 now. That is something I will correct as well. I just freak out when it is going on too wet because i don’t want to get nibs in the base.
Nelson, I am getting two more high powered fans which will help out alot, they will replace my remaining two box fans (been safe so far), its pretty cool to see the overspray move across the booth, but that lip is as big as you want to paint in there. A bumper is pushing it.
Also another thing to keep in mind, if you put the base on to dry you can have adhesion problems with your clear down the road.. A wet bed will help with that, especially when blending difficult colors.
