    We hardly ever use the etch, also it cant be anything to do with it if it was, wev tried it with and without and it made no difference. We’ve got a DeVilbiss GTi W for base, and a GTi W for clear, both with 1.4 fluid tips.

    Thanks,
    Scott

    Well, an example, We get a new door and buff the electrocoat with 320 and 320 round the edges by hand. Wipe with Standox silicon remover and then a final wipe with Standox cleaner (panel clean) , then a light coat of etch primer, then a full coat of wet on wet primer, flash off for 5 – 10 mins, then a full coat of base and let it flash off, then another full coat and let it flash off and then a drop coat. Mix up clear and give it a full wet coat, and let it tack off for 10 – 15 mins and then give it another full wet coat. The panel looks fine before baking but once the panel cools after baking, it sinks!. We bake at 70 degrees for 25 Minutes.

    Thanks,
    Scott
