Your right that it is a very comfortable gun to hold. I didn’t notice just how much more comfortable it was till I picked up my SATA after. It’s a very well balanced gun I found. I was impressed with how well it put out clear but I’m still not sold on HVLP for c/c. Very nice base gun. I was pretty satisfied.
jesus, i should really pay attention :silly:
I’m not a big ford guy but that is one sharp little pick up!

Exactly, the clear basecoat acts like a clear sealer

It doesn’t look like PPG deemed them compatible. That’s not to say it’s guaranteed they won’t work together but you will be taking a chance. If you want to be in the safe the PPG Global clears are compatible with EHP basecoats

Awesome job, I’ve never seen anyone use a donor floor before. I can’t believe you found one in good condition! Nevertheless good job! :cheer:

There’s so many factors to blending a color like silver then none of us will get it right EVERY time and anyone who says they do better knock on wood. Some systems and colors may not have the most accurate alternates or you may not pick the best one. Some silvers might match up with one system and another they may be WAY out to lunch. You can spray one blend one day and another do the exact same blend in the exact same fashion and just the different conditions like humidity and temp will make one go completely @$$ backwards. Were all somewhat slaves to our environment. Things like taking an extra 5 minutes to color match and using a wetbed helps minimize our redos. But we can do everything right some days but if we pissed off Jesus the day before we can still be screwed. I’m very confident in my blends but I’m not dumb enough not to admit that I don’t have to redo one once in awhile. Theres a lot of factors to consider and were all human in the end. however, i’m looking into a series of operations that will change that! :evil:.
Omni and Nason are value brands and your trading some serious quality for price. PPG Global is a good solvent system. Dupont’s Chromabase system is good too. Silver is the hardest color to blend and easiest to get mottling. Make sure to do a wet bed before base coat and an orientation coat after your base and you should be fine.
Good job nex! thats cool!
