They even took the time to blend the door on this one.
[quote=”whoknowsbrad” post=28390]shop line jc630 clear and the hardner fast,med,or slow 4:1 mix get the gal kit for 115 it worksreally well[/quote]
Shopline JC630 or JC620. Both work well.
Shopline JC60 made by PPG is $13.00 a sprayable quart. Not a bad clear.
Not a bad clear. How long do you give the basecoat to dry? How long between coats of clear?
[quote=”jimmo” post=27611]I did apply a drop coat, I don’t always tho. I don’t recall the recommendations, hopefully it will be out the door soon. lol
I have mixed feelings about it, in the cross-draft I usually hate it, the last few days have been wet out and it’s taking 20 minutes to flash off (with blowers). I have to dust on 50 dry coats odg style instead of applying it wet, maybe he’s on to something,,,,,,, ……. haha.[/quote]
If you have heat put it in winter mode at 85 degrees. It snaps the humidity out of the air. Not for nothing I don’t care for Onyx at all.
A clean car, a clean booth, a clean painter equals a clean job.
[quote=”billgaino” post=27560]Do you do a drop coat? If so do you color sand, lightly after the last coat?
EB I never touch my basecoat with paper, maybe a tack cloth, but seldom. I use Matrix clear, it is economical and spays nicley. You have to be careful with a dropcoat. If you lay it dry, it will cloud. I keep my silver base wet so the flake lays. My anser is NO to the dropcoat, unless I have obvious cloudiness.[/quote]
I always scuff my base coat with 1200 grit. Water or solvent. I’d rather get out as much in the basecoat than buff later.
I have never sprayed a more user friendly product with great color match than I have found with Envirobase.
I have 18 years experience as a Technical Rep and have found Chromabase to be the worst to spray. JMO.
I would give that approach a couple of months. Cut out the rusted metal and weld new metal.
Interesting. I never demo with Sata anymore. I find the Iwata and Tekna to be my choice.
Where are you located? If you are in a dry area (very little humidity) you will need the slow reducer. Typically two coats of color and one control coat is enough. 90% overlap. Your control coat should not be wet and look more like 320 grit droplets until it is dry. Remember BIG OVERLAP.
In 1978 your car was painted with solvent b/c. You might get a better match with solvent unless you plan to paint the whole car.

Your best bet would be epoxy. Epoxy seals off moisture and gives you the best corrosion protection.
