can the sata 4000 have the fan control on either side of the gun? Or have I just dreamt that up :unsure:
Its a special order on the nissan skyline bit like the old platinum finish on ally wheels where the black isnt quite covered by the silver giving a metal type look, its an ultra fine silver and spies hecker permahyd version retails according to the training centre manager at £360 half a litre! Didnt even look that special in my opinion.
Hi i went to spies hecker training centre in stevenage here in the uk to mess around with a few new trends in colours and one of them was nissan KAB. and a Mercedes 047 that was similar.
We used it in waterbase permahyd and it comes factory packed so tinting a colour is not possible. The panels we painted were painted in black spectroflex primer and laquered, then they were baked and then flatted again with 1000 dry on a da then 3000 trizact so they smooth (no texture) and with a slight sheen cause spies KAB wont cover the prep marks of anything under 3000 trizact. Do your sprayouts to determine amount of base and coverage (like 3 stages).
Although practising on panels isnt doing a whole side or front end but we had an insight, I dont think this colour is that common in the UK as in the US and as yet havent had the pleasure to paint one at work.
All seems straight forward enough but will take twice as long and have to be thorough with your prep and blends.:welc from the uk
sounds like youve missed that particular area if the rest of the panel is good, what guns?paint? you using.
remember the primer and basecoat need to go on flat and even otherwise any structure in these will show in your clear which could give you an undesirable effect.I worked at a renault approved nissan main dealer bodyshop and we had to have this on the shelf for renault work, we used what we knew best the sikkens on the other scheme hence it hardly ever got used.
But when I did use it it was fine just like the dupont cromax in my opinion, takes some getting used to swamping it all on in one go if you have come from basecoats that require the base to be put on in stages like the sikkens.
If it is rebadged Dupont cromax/spies permahyd or standox equivelent they have a few issues though, as in drying problems (staying spongy) and if you ever need to puff a bit of base on dryer or lighter anywhere watch the colour as light colours tend to look darker in sunlight although it initially looks lighter or ok in the workshop. we had a libary full of sparyouts sprayed wet and dry, giving different colours some like you wouldnt believe.we can make some wicked colours with whats left on the bench when clearing up on a friday (spies)
Yeah no issue blending and painting already painted panels, over here in the uk we would prep with 1000 dry on a da.
what paint you used?
See if I can add it to the list of paint manufactuers whos metallic reds dont cover for s!^t, i always wet on wet with a red tinted primer with panels off the car if they are already primed with different coloured primer.AndyT,
Our paint rep talks about places like car giant he tells how mad the operation is, busy busy I guess, push-through ovens? Do you just paint or rotate with prep and polish? I mainly paint as we have preppers but have to polish our own work, and prep when the preppers cant keep up. What paint you on? J
