Thanks for the response Xchaser—I ordered the Techline with three tip sets and both the CPR and HVLP air caps the other day. I have a Sata 3000 RP that I use for clears but the Techline could become my base coat gun.-With the three tip sets and both air caps I’m sure I will find plenty of things to use it for–
Xchaser, someone on another forum using that user name was talking about how much they liked a CA Technologies Techline gun that they had —-was that you? –Do you still have a good opinion of that gun? I was thinking about buying one—-Thanks
Tip size should have been OK for this material according to the technical data sheet. —I am confident that the gun was clean—-the results were not that bad but could have been better. MoCoke do you ever find yourself shooting at less than 29 psi?
The rear bumper cover is lighter—the front looks the same as the rest of the car
–Unless you guys think its a complete waste of time money I will probably give it a try—If I remember correctly, it was one of the alternate chips that was the best match for my car–Han, Doright–What characteristics about the MS make you prefer it to the universal
I have heard good things about ProSpray —I can get the maroon color in ProSpay for about $90 a qt and the silver for about $60 a qt —The truck I will be painting is a 1990 full size 8ft bed regular cab Chevy—Maroon upper and lower and silver center section—I wont be painting the jambs or inside the bed–Do you think 1 qt of silver and 2qts of maroon will get it covered using ProSpray? I spray base with an HVLP gun that doesn’t seem to waste much paint (low overspray)
Thanks
The last time I did some paint work on this same pickup about 8 years ago—I repainted most of one side,, for the maroon I had Tec-Base the silver was Crossfire–The maroon went on perfect no problems at all—the silver Crossfire mottled and I had to respray it, better the second time but not that great — I really don’t want to fool with it again–Maybe Matrix would be a good alternative????
I saw that TCP Global has a factory packaged base coat line called Restoration Shop—144 colors at around $100-$120 a gallon —I need to repaint my old pickup this spring— It is two-tone maroon and silver,,It doesn’t need to be top of the line stuff,,,but I don’t really want to fight with a lot of poor coverage and metallic control issues either—The guy a NAPA said Crossfire base is around $175 a gallon does anyone know how this Restoration Shop stuff compares with Crossfire,Omni, Nason?
