thanks guys, I’ll try playing around with pressure and guns settings for now
I just called a PPG distributor and they offered me a cheaper state compliant paint/low VOC called “Omni Line” the guy said for $35/quart and PPG waterbase for $88/quart but there’s a big difference in quality, PPG being the better one.
I’m still deciding if I’m going to start this hobby with waterborne or try it with solvent based.
All I have right now is the compressor. Regulator,filter and water separator are not even installed yet. A HVLP gun can be used on either water or solvent based paint correct?
Cost/ease of application/quality wise, should I go for single stage or no?thanks for the input
thanks Stone.
which one would you use Sherwin Wiliams or PPG?
Single stage paint or dual?[b]RatStang wrote:[/b]

And I always seem to get a bunch of people expecting me to paint their cars for 150 bucks because macco says they can.
But I always find I can get more out of a client if I educate them.
If I sit down and explain each individual process. Including little things like Moldings, handles, Masking, and all the tiny crap that adds up. I find the more specific I make a bid, the more they understand. The more they understand, the more likely they are to accept the price.
Bondo gets on my *** for listing typical materials on my bids, instead of charging an hourly materials rate.
But I’ve wrote them both ways, and I get more work being specific.That is my experience.
of course it’s un-realistic to go into every detail with every customer, most people are only testing the waters.
But when you feel they’re serious. spend some time to explain it.
I’ll bet if you sat down and explained all the process. She’d probably better understand the “Why’s”Richard[/quote]
:cheers Now those are the words of a true business man.
I know I’m just new to this forum but his approach will certainly get more returning customers, often times customers’ trust is better than any marketting strategy out there, once they trust you they will refer you to to other people and actually vouch for it, heck they have their car to prove it.just my two cents
