INFRATECH makes a very good sun gun.you plug it in so you dont have to spend big money to replace the batteries .they run about 200 bucks
Our shop is on basf onyx, and i do two tones without clearing before taping. we use a tape from fbs corperation that is made for stuff like that.I agree if it is preped corectly,and watch your flash times,there should be no problems.I use diamont (R&M) on the motorhomes i paint on the side and i do not have any issues with stripes or graphics.
my bosses wife came into the booth to give me my check and when she left i noticed tiny little fisheyes starting.long story short i had to respray the car .yes i did get paid to do it again,she wasnt happy but my boss told her to stay away from the booth. :dnc
:welc no question is a bother.it depends on the graphics.i usually put down a clear base for example basf diamonts 00 clear base over the color to lock down the metallic.then do graphics,then 2 coats clear let dry a day or two,then wet sand with 1500 or 2000 then buff.alot of people also use ppg dbc500 that works well to in between coats,or colors
:spraywelc: sweet shop what clear do u use for overalls.i heard glasuit is good stuff. we spray basf onyx waterbase with the dc5335 clear
we use the HB050 blender at our shop.i also found that if you hb040 insted of hb020 u get a little more consistent blend.i know they like the spray pressure to be in the 20’s but i spray onyx around 11-13psi.sounds to low but i have great results and save paint to.i spray base with my tekna copper 1.4 tip.

:spraywelc: limco supreme by basf covers well and priced right . color match is good to.I use it on used car work
Are u using blue fine line or a white transparent fine line by 3m .the 3m white seems not as sticky,usually that works for me.i also try to pull the tape off left or right not pulling up on it.
:clappy devilbiss gauge , manual or digital both work well
no its not that bad,its just the pro lite seem to lay the clear and base down better.I also had a sata 4000 rp,great base gun but didnt like it for clear.The pro lite replaced it :clappy
