I sprayed auto base and autobase plus for a good few years, the old 1:1 mix autobase blended easier in my opinion. Definitely try the basefix wet bed but don’t take it out onto the repaired area , then base up your repaired area and let it blend into the wet bed while the wet bed is still wet.
For some tricky silver’s I used to use a slower reducer and a little bit more of it, reduce the pressure at the blend and if there is still a halo drop the pressure way down to about 0.8-1bar and try a drop coat over the blend. Sometimes adding blending additive to really light counter high metallics can also cause a colour discrepancy and poor metallic lay down.Interesting to see that some of you are slightly going in a different direction in regards to fluid tip sizes, I find that people over here are starting with 1.3’s and moving down to 1.2 fluid tips , especially with uhs clears, some find the smaller droplet size leaves a smoother look and feel to the clear and also reduces the chances of solvent pop during the bake cycle.
I have a fair idea, but I’d love to know the full in’s and out’s of whatever Hub meant about it.
He pm’d it to me before but I could never recieve it for some reason :unsure: must’ve been to do with my firewall.
So if some good ole soul had a email with the info could they please send it as I never ever believe that there’s nothing to learn from even the smallest of tips.Am I right in thinking the 90 line is made up of toners very similar to solvent based toners, but use a more waterbourne binder??
So less prone to be turned to custard if froze.Apologies for bumping, but any chance someone could pm the chop stick trick to me please.
Cheers 😛Thanks jimmo , and everyone else
Thanks for the welcome folks, to tell ye’s a bit about myself, I would mainly be in the collision repair end of things but I also do some restoration work although this is more a labour of love/regret!!!
Used quite a bit of spies hecker, sikkens and Sherwin throughout my 22yrs of torture.
I hope I can add something to the discussions while learning myself, as we never stop picking some info up everyday.Hey Raf, how did you get on with the 321 clear. I find if you put the first coat on fine and smooth but not dry or a half coat, it sits pretty nice and bakes up well.
Hi folks,
I’m a new poster to this forum but have been following it for some time with great interest.
Could someone pm me please with the ‘magic’ chop stick trick, I am curious to see how it works.
Cheers!
