Yup, looks quite familiar, if you get a chance you guys should take in the class ” Eye for Color” offered by PPG, that class explains all about translucent colours and how they reflect light like a prism. Goes to show that it’s not all about coverage anymore. Thanks for sharing, great video

I’ve been using Aquabase for over 5 years now, no complaints what so ever. No need to seal everything, tint the primer to the correct shade, finish with 600 grit and base right over it, i only seal new parts, Color match is great, blends nice, sealer lays down smooth (white is a little transparant) and very sticky. Primers are awesome, very fast and sands easily with 400 grit. Great all around system that can make you money

I do it all the time,and have been doing it for years, remove enough paint for filler to bite to metal, feather out the paint than skim the whole repair with putty, finish in 320 , prime, proper flash between coats, heat lamp than block when its cooled, never ever had a problem,
To tell you the truth Ive been hearing nothing but good things about Sikkens auto wave, it’s a true waterborne with great color match and has probably the best Clear coat [Superior 250] on the market with over 70 percent hs, Onyx on the other hand some can make it work and some don’t like it , it’s not a true waterborne, it’s solvent toners with a water binder, I have not personally used either just going by what I have read, there are guys on here that are using these systems that could probably chime in to help, I know the site owner Jimmo has experience with onyx and he would be the guy to talk to. Why do you ask are you having trouble with Autowave or is it a business decision?
It seems to be top secret info for some reason :wak :lol1 :wak
If it’s an aftermarket bumper cover that has a 1k primer and it washes off easily with solvent than the primer should be washed of and treated as a raw plastic cover for best results, but like I said be careful .
As stated. Above ,’PPG will not release any info unless you have a registered account with them
If the bumper only has as one part primer, and it washes off with solvent thinner., make sure you don’t soak the cover with too much solvent because it will absorb into the plastic and cause adhesion issues down the road, Strip the primer.; clean with a waterborne. Cleaner, apply a adhesion promotor ; sealer, paint and Clear ANd another thing is if your are using solvent on bare plastic and create static you could go up in flames as well as the shop so be careful

They are all the same world wide lolFor me it would depend on the amount if it were just two or three, or thereabouts, i may fill them with a flowable putty and seal prime and paint.
If there were a lot it would be a full flat down and start again.
Full flat for just two or three may seem a little excessive imho, as i have done the flowable putty trick many a time and it has always worked
since we stated cleaning panels with waterbased panel cleaner we see very few fish eye’s these days, super clean air is another important factor.[/quote]
Can’t say I’ve ever heard them called anything other than a fisheye actually, but I live in canada. maybe a language barrier like I said. Sorry for any confusion
I would sand them flat, apply your base coat if needed and re- clear the whole wing

Toorrow when i go in i wanted to do a small repair over the wax holes.. Im thinking of wiping a bit of stopper or very fine filler over the and just do a small blow in after.. Opinions ?[/quote
Not really sure what you mean by ” wax holes” maybe what we call fish eyes ?? Could be a language barrier here, but anyway welcome to the site

Ask them if the guys next door offer a warranty, because any professional will. We offer a limited lifetime warranty on our jobs but it doesn’t come cheap, materials for our last complete came in somewhere around 2k. Let them go and get the cheap job and from my experience they will be back with there tail between their legs wishing they would have come to you first, because they will end up paying double in the end. Stick to your guns , do good work and charge for it
