you guys ever do a metallic and on the last coat drop the pressure way way down like to 10psi and pull back a little, that seems to kill the problem all together including any type of zebra striping, but the key is I find with metallics is to let them dry real good between coats and def. tack after every coat
don’t you hate when you got that many bumpers lined up, all the guns loaded and there all silver:rofl I learned to label my RPS cups real clearly lol, way to milk the cash cow buddy!!!! keep them f#$@ers rollin out the door
i like the 3000rp with the 1.4 for single stage it seems to throw it on better to me anyway, i tryed to use my hvlp nr2000 with a 1.3 and noticed with s/s the fan wasnt quite right either so i think i know what your talking about, its almost like the widest part of the fan doesnt have as much material as it should and i found myself doing the same thing..closeing up the fan a bit, so it might be something with the needle size vs air/fan adj but all in all the 3000rp’s are good guns, im deeply thinking of grabbing up one of the new 4000rp’s for base and retire the nr2000
[quote=”PAINTPOT” post=16973]SPIES is the same paint as standox 99% I’m sure I’m right.ASK your rep.if it is brilliant stuff.used water base for 16 years .using water base for your first time .completely different ball game.But once mastered its so easy .a walk in the park..It will probably pull your hair out for the first 6 months.[/quote]
yea man you are right spies and standox…same demon for the most part
i never used sikkens water there solvent base is awesome, my shop switched from sikkens to spies before i got there, aperently they didnt like the sikkens water, so we are now useing spies solvent but where waiting for the new waterborne to come out and then switch to that, so im assumeing within the year ill have a go at the new spies water
i’m going to have to go with Ding on this one, throw a few drops of hardner in your basecoat and this problem will not continue, i ran into this issue with ppg a long time ago, the reducers are very agressive and fire up the basecoat, but if you put hardner in the base it locks it right up
why not look for a elec. angle grinder and get the kit that snap on sells to make an angle grinder a buffer, it comes with the backing pad and a few wool pads and a foam pad works great, thats the kit i use on my air angle grinder (die grinder, everyone seems to call it something elce)
[quote=”Wydir” post=16035]:pcorn: hey someone had to do it , had to look good for the auction, could be one of my first ppg global jobs (Can tell by the color match) lol
ha to the untrained eye that looks like a run but its holding the bumper cover up on that side haha musta ran out of clips :rock[/quote]
LMFAO!!!!!!! FIRST PPG GLOBAL JOB CAN TELL BY THE COLOR MATCH!!!!!! THATS THE TRUTH!!!!!!!:rofl :rofl :rofl
does that classify under “show paint” like as in let me show you how not to paint
be warned that if you do you 2021 dont put on the first coat like you want it to look put it on kind of pealy cuz for some reason that shit loves to hit the floor, my first time useing that clear was a nightmare, bt once you know the trick with it you can come out with real nice results, so fist coat put on a little light then after that you can put it on how you want it and it stays, dont know why but thats how it seemed to work best for me
[quote=”rudy49″ post=16008]Surgeon – That would be great if you could do that for me. Maybe it will work.[/quote]
no prob man ill post it tomorrow
@ rudy..i can get you the phone number for future cure, thats the style spray booth i have and they sell the rubber that you fold in half for the door sweeps, it comes in a roll, i just replaced mine send me a message if you’d like the number or i could send you a pic of how my door sweeps are so you can see if that will work for you
i got a 2000 hvlp 1.3, love it, but i must say the 3000 rp 1.3 for base or clear i like it a lot it,s taken me some getting used to but now that i found an air pressure that works for me i got the rp dialed right in to the point where i can panel paint a bunch of metalics without question, i had posed that i was looking into some other guns but i ended up changeing my mind after talking with a friend of mine that was used to the rp’s and soon realized i was useing them totaly wrong due to being used to hvlp for so many years, i will say you wont regret buying one just hang in there for a while cuz like i said i didnt like it at first but now im a big fan, and it seems on this site a majority of people are die hard sata users, them crouts know a spray gun:stoned
i start where ever i feel like it at the time, unless im doing an overall then i start on the roof, unfortunitly im only 5’9 and i dont have overly long arms so i keep a milk crate handy just incase, man i hate doing vans lol
i havent had a problem with a bad edge with foam tape and i only use 3M because of lifting with other foam tapes, and i make sure i clean with a waterborn wax a grease remover like the one ppg has that smells more like rubbing alc., while on the topic of masking how r you guys masking to “burn in clear”?? not a practice i like to do but am forced to here and there
