NiCe Work, what did you use to duplicate the texture?
what tip is in that Prolite?
[quote=”R1campr” post=26811]We switched to autowave this week, the rep says to try using hardner in the base in a situation like I explained here. I havent tried it yet. Can I clean over it with wax and grease remover without removing some of the color? providing sufficient dry time. Also, is there truth in adhesion problems if using a solvent based intermix clear over the wb? and if so, would adding hardner to the solvent based intermix clear help? I use ppg dbc500[/quote]
Why would you NEED to degrease base coat?
If you can get DBC500, why not just do the whole job in PPG/solvent base?
Does PPG say you can add hardener to the DBC500?
Why not just clear the thing, sand it, and move onto the next step without worries?
light pink or white.
I’ve got even appearance in one coat.
[quote=”Jayson M” post=26782]Try a slower speed reducer to see if it helps, increasing your distance and drop the air pressure a couple of psi for your last coat might help too.[/quote]
I agree, a larger tip size can also help.

I’ve painted regularly at 110 metal temp.
Depending on what brand you’re using many companies offer ex-slow and even ex-ex-slow. Adding a hardener to the base coat (if compatible) may also work well.
There are guys in the PHX area painting daily at 120.
I’ll look tonight.
I’d be happy to trade away a cup.
I’m loving the new Hutchins model 500 and 600.
Way more power than anything else I’ve tried and much smoother.

R1,
Switch to Universal LV, you’ll be much happier.
I NEVER add hardener to AWMM or LWB, I see no need.
J,
pm me your address and I’ll send you some.
Get the new tape from 3M 6528 series and put it all behind you. It will leave a cleaner edge than the fine line and release easy from the base without adhesive transfer. Its a pale green colored tape. I’ve been using it three months and zero issues.
My view is that the shop owner buys the booth and gives it to you to work in. YOU make the mess, you should clean it.
Do you clean your guns everyday?
There’s no reason in the world booth should get that dirty.
Anything you wipe the object with between tacking and base is a risk.
Like Ben already mentioned, grounding may be an option.
