[quote=”ryanbrown999″ post=15649]Sounds like your kicking *** there. If your hustling you are about right. I paint 2-4 on avg a day. If I am doing bumpers or parts off the car I would say 6 wouldn’t be bad. Some days it seem 2 is a chore. Really depends on the job. I have worked at shops where I ran two booths and all I did was mix paint, wipe down and spray. I could push 12 if I had to. Things had to be clicking though.
How are you masking jambs if you dont use paper?[/quote]
i use that 3m foam tape, ill take a pic of a good example for you, saves a lot of time, now that i dont use paper it takes me no time to mask, my spies rep gave me a few pointers when i started working there, im glad to hear im painting around the ave. amount of cars
yea i got a future cure truck booth, i paint 2 cars at a time if im painting the car together or if i paint the apart i have gotten up to 6 cars at a time going, i did 7 today, had a kid mixing my paint after i picked the var. and had him washing guns as i was done with them, i do mostly all my own masking,i wipe them down, i do sand some of what i paint not all, but when i mask i dont use paper at all i got some tricks i use and my ave. is about 6 cars a day, but have gotten 9 done in a day quite a few times,and hope to beat that, wish i was getting flat rate on those days i could take the rest of the week off, i do everything right i just move man lol i asked one of the guys who has worked there for a while he told me last painter was getting about 4 done a day, why how much you guys painting a day? i figured i was doing about the amount most people got done a day:blink:
let me give you the same advise i got, i demoed the lph, and looked into the super nova but was told for the price the guns are not much different, so keep that in mind
[quote=”ryanbrown999″ post=15475]I would use Nason 465 before I would ever use Rubber Seal. If your jobber has Spies do they get Nason?
If so use Spies reducer in it instead of the Nason reducer, which is crap.
What I have used that I likes was Acme FC720, U-tech 4.0 select, and the Nason 465.[/quote]
yea i was just told by my jobber that they have that nason clear and it might fall under warrentee due to being in the same “family” i just had to voice my opinion of a product that i feel is garbadge and should be avoided if you can, the first time i used rubberseal i got a “bad batch” i was told, the clear went on with billions of fish eyes, aparently the people that they get there cans from did not wash them properly before the clear was added to the can, so fist use gave me a bad taste in my mouth, and they didnt make up for it in any way so i had 2 redos that day due to rubberseal, and mind you im painting up to 9 cars a day at the time of this incendent, thank you rubberseal!!!!
well all i can do is tell you i run mine wide open fan and wide open fluid, some guys like to run the fluid 3 turns out, guess it depends on your comfort level, but if your getting orange peel no matter what you gun settings you need to either slow down or get closer to the panel, so keep the gun 5 ta 7 inches away and your speed is determined by the way your material is flowing out of the gun onto the panel, hope that helps homie good luck
