Why not just slow down the activator.
Should allow you to put on a thinner smoother coat that will dry quicker.
[quote=”bloverby” post=23070]My Nexa rep. always corrects me whenever I call an “orientation coat” for aquabase a “drop coat”. :nothingtoad[/quote]
Ask him to explain the difference. 👿
[quote=”jeremyb” post=23062]Good explanation, but with proper gun adjustment, spraying technique, and reducer selection there is no need for drop coats, assuming you are using a quality base system. On lower quality systems, I’ve seen guy sword fight their way through an all over achieve a uniform metallic finish. Beats me why they keep using the stuff.[/quote]
Ever spray a single stage metallic?
Can be open to interpretation, but usually involves lowering the air pressure a bit and or backing the gun away from the surface. What you’re really trying to do is get bigger droplets of paint with more solvent/water in the to land on the surface and have time to smooth themselves out. This (in theory) keeps the metallic from bunching and pooling.
My fathers driving around a 66 El Camino that I did with auto clear circa 1991.
A JGA with a 1.4 tip and 9000 cap will put even an RP to shame.
3+1 LOL
What about auto nova filler. Cars still smelled years after when they came in for another repair.
I would like to see some MS clears and how they look next to today’s chemistry.

I resmble that remark.
And I fondly remember 1-2-3 reducer. :dnc
For sure a copy of the SATA RCS.
I’ll stick with a squirt bottle of thinner and a good horse hair brush.
Also consider the Devilbiss SRi Pro.
Comes with either an HVLP air cap or an RP type.
[quote=”tcsauto” post=19033]So what`s the difference between the RP & the B?[/quote]
RP is hybrid of HVLP and high pressure.
B is HVLP.

The lizards have their place in the market cuz I’m sure not painting any panels or bumpers for $75.
