I would like to help ya Jimmo but I’m not really literate with websites or anything like that. I use to use homestead back the day :stoned.
Global isn’t the greatest system, that being said it’s far from the worst solvent system out there. Using the appropriate sealer I rarely had a color cover take more then 3 coats to get coverage. In my time using it I found it fairly easy to make it work for me. You got a pretty good deal man, once you have both systems complete you’ll be laughing. Just use your value shade sealers and do some sprayouts (and keep them) to make sure you don’t have to tint.
:cheers
Right on bro :rock
Doesn’t even look like the same color :stoned

The truth is the sight has gone way down hill since taken over by current mangement at least from a technicul stand point.
Too bad current mgmnt doesnt see it that way[/quote]
well said :whistle:The biggest problem with that site is that the few pro’s using it aren’t there to learn anything themselves, they just frequent the site to preach to DIY’ers from up on their high horse, then there’s this site, where experienced tradespeople trade information and learn from one anothers experiences (and we help the odd Do-it-yourselfer which is good too). I consider this website to be an awesome asset to my career. I guess what I’m trying to say is: thanks ya douchebags! 😉
I guess I shouldn’t paint such a bad picture, there are some pretty knowledgeable people on there. But you have to sift through a lot of f***ing eggheads and I can’t say I’ve really learned anything overly useful over there.
IMO this trade is always changing with new technologies and techniques coming into play. It’s a recipe for disaster for the close minded. The first step to failure is thinking/claiming you know it all
I like yo style meng! :stoned
It just took all my energy not to reply to that thread :compsmash
[quote=”Ben” post=14992][quote=”dcturcotte” post=14962]I use to spray it lighter as well, but as I got more confident with the system I started laying it down a lot wetter. As far as orientation goes I really love this system for how the metallics lay down. sometimes on very metallic colors I do two control coats but it has more to do with personal piece of mind then something that is necessary[/quote]
So you basically do 1 heavy coat for coverage rather than several lighter coats (before orientation coat, obviously).
I find that if I do several lighter coats it dries in less than 1 minute between coats so I have no need to leave the booth. I definitely have more experimenting to do…[/quote]
I would classify my first two coats as medium wet, a little of the wet side maybe, but definitely not overly heavy. followed by orientation. When I know a color has sh!t coverage I’ll do 3 medium wet coats.
You know as well as I that there’s no one right way to do it, If several lighter coats works better for you I say if it ain’t broke don’t fix it :dnc :rock
F**k it :cens
Evercoat gravel guard it is :stoned
