[quote=”dunson” post=24327]When I started spraying it I was using an lph400 1.4 with an orange cap but always seemed to fight the blends with high metalic colors. I switched to an ls400 1.4 w/ the gold cap and it was a night/day difference. An added bonus was the much faster drying time with the ls.
I mix everything with the 002 and use the 020 in solid colors and 040 in metalics.[/quote]
I use the 002 & 020 for everything, but have to agree with the LPH 1.4/orange cap, I find it can sometimes make my silvers look patchy/mottle and have to fight at times. Ive recently started spraying my CVI for light metallics and find it better, never tried or even heard of the gold cap but I think I’m due for a new gun anyway.
I’ve been spraying and playing with onyx for a little under two years now and I have been using 3000 and 4000 1.5 HVLP sata’s. the tech sheets changed a little while ago to 1.6….I havn’t tried it yet. We are going to be used as a basf training facility this summer and I’m curious to see what gun they will use while training.
Sometimes I find certain mix’s out of the mixing system are a tad thick. I recommend getting a #4ford viscosity cup and making sure its properly reduced before spraying. it can be reduced 100:60-80 so I tend to like the 80 side.
For blending I like to take wet bed and mix it with tricky colours 50/50 give or take, to make sure its easy to blend
I find my CVI sprays clear better than is does OnyxHD basecoat
530dent – I use 75% water(distilled) and 25% hb020 it works quite nice to remove the basecoat 99% of the way then I do a solvent wash and thorough dry before spraying a new “anything”
