nice gloss
[quote=”Jayson M” post=16429]I have no complaints about autowave,it is extremely easy to use and color match is second to none.I don’t find the tinters dirty at all,[i][b]one thing to keep in mind is to treat 245 black tinter differently,you need to manually stir it for at least a minute before putting ot on the bench,this will cut down on shmag in the can.Also treat all of the 888 metalic toners the same way.[/b][/i]Energy pro 250 is a nice quick clear but it is identical to the lesonal pro-air lv,same stuff in a different can.One tip that was given to me by the training center is to use superior 250 hardener in place of the energy pro hardener,it totally changes the way it sprays,much nicer product when you change the hardener.We have been using it this way since last summer.[/quote]
Interesting advice i will give it a try.
yes the autowave is very user friendly but i found the autobase + seemed to be a much “cleaner” base, especially with blacks.
And the 250 clear is excellent imo, and you will use about 20-30% less than what you would with the HSLV. sikkens also has a speed clear which is fairly new called energy pro250 which is not bad all all, especially with non booth conditions. the 250 line is great all aroundthanks for the help, havent had any problems today when putting on first coat lighter.
wish the shop was still on colorbuild plus, rather than the 250, i liked it much better, and as you said it seemed to be much less sensitive, didnt seem to be as orangy as the 250, and sanded much nicer imo,didnt think we had them in canada yet either :S
that price isnt bad at all either!1.3 in my plus gun was not to my liking, was very slow, only thing it was good for was very fine golds/silvers.
went to a 1.4 and loved itMore so on completes though, i could see it being alrite for clear using slow reducer, but couldnt that cause uneven metallic distribution when spraying base?
None of you guys find the 1.2/1.3 a little slow when spraying clear with an RP?
Went from a 1.3 to 1.4 and it was like night and day, like the 1.4 much better flows
quicker.
