Any thought on my paint issue on other post I have??????
What devillbis gun are you using that requires 45psi at the gun?
Cant remember what model number but its a older one. All plastic Devilbiss OMX Gun with the 2 triggers. Its old but Was nice gun at time i bought it. I normally shoot At 30 to 35 psi But figured Id try their recommendation. to see if made difference. I know time for new gun. But kind of fond of this one. And it still works good. Until money is allowable for new gun.

Is that the green plastic gun with beige trigger…kinda looks like a gardening tool?
The camera isn’t always 100% accurate all the time. Depending on how they set the info up in the mixing system, the camera will often come up with a colour from something completely different. This may work, or it may cause metamerism. The best bet is to choose the best variant and blend it out. Looking for a 100% perfect match is usually a waste of time.
Chromabase is relatively easy to use, but you can definitely alter is a good bit by controlling the metallics (such as gun pressure). If the you went to the supplier and gave them a code to mix, then they are not at fault. Generally they would just mix the standard and send it to you. Most times the problem is the user, not the product. Mix it 1:1 with the basemaker and apply medium coats with proper flash times. I think the gun you are using is and HVLP and may be better suited closer to 30 PSI…
yes it is a hvlp gun you think presure way to hi go back to 30/35

Ding, I use Nason base for all over jobs. I use the Chromabase for the silver, gold, and hard to match/blend colours. Cost is the reason I don’t use Chomabase for everything. I just bought my first gal of 2k sealer but I have not used it yet. Back on the subject of dust nibs… Today I purchased an ANTISTATIC air hose that claims to help metallic flakes lay better. I’m hoping it will reduce the electric charge that puts dust specks in my paint! My biggest problem is DUST particles landing on my paint. I was painting bonnets with them vertical, like when your painting the side of the vehicle. That helped. I still use my Ionex device, but from what I understand when you start spraying…you are recharging the surface again.. I hate buffing… Bill
