    I got this when i mixed white paint codes little specs of black or blue from the tint would go on to the panel when i was using paint strainers and normal plastic cups . Changed to the pps system and i have not had this problem since.

    I was intending on using the 2k primer i have then use the recommended undercoat as the 2k i have is very light. exactly what i was planning on doing clearing the door and the 1/4 panel but as some of the guys have said i think i should key up the front wing just for possible blending. Although i think i may have to leave it till i have a sensible gun using 1mm minigun is going to take an age to get this sprayed with clear. Also using a .8mm base gun is going to grind my gears. I think the bottom line is this should really be done in a bodyshop and with large equipment?

    i have not got a ppg sealer or from my knowledge an etch primer. I cannot tell from my 2K primer quite what it entails as it rebranded with no product information. Is it possible that a 2k highbuild primer has etching capabilities? Also as painter123 said i was not intending to seal is not recommended. This post was really to see the best workflow so would you guys say that has to be done? as i say i normally do SMART/spot repair where a sealer is not applied. What you think Guys?

    Also painter123 i also think i am not going to enjoy that i really need a new spray gun and compressor.

    Cheers for your reply’s guys :cheers

    I was looking to just take off the wing mirror and leave everything else on that should still yield great results?

    I agree with both of you on the primer my 2k high build primer is very light so i will put the recommended undercoat on over my primed areas.

    The problem is currently i only have 50 litre compressor which means i cannot use a full sized gun until that is upgraded.

    have you guys got any experience with the LPH80 recently for some reason i have been having a little trouble getting the result i want just end up with a little too much orange peel πŸ™

    This is ok doing my usual SMART repair work as to cut and polish back to a glass finish πŸ˜‰ does not take long. Though spraying a side of a car i am going to want to lay that clear pretty damn smooth. Or is this going to be pretty impossible using such a small gun on such a large job?
