Again thanks. I just recently tried using the 870 reducer with 2021 and the clear actually laid down a hell of a lot better than with the 885. i turned the booth down to 75 tho. as for ur bake recomendations….. i have been baking my jobs for 50 min. is this way too long. 140 at 50 min. i did buy a sata nr2000 1.4 to apply sealer. just used it on a roof of a suzuki sx4 and the results where awesome. aperently switching to a bigger needle for sealer really helped. no blotchness no tiger strip no mottling. and it was a silver. but the specs were there and there are a lot. and im constantly keeping toners mixed up. What im curious of is those specs look aweful big to make it through a pps strainer. but its def in the silvers. becuase i dont have that problem on any other color. and my last and final question…. first of all i cant express how much gratitude i have to your help! so hear goes. prepping a silver car. I spend what i think is adiquite time prepping them. A lot of times i have my helper prepping and he usually does a good job. but on every silver car he does, and i cant see this until i clear, is 320 grit scratches. what i have taught him to do is dry block with durablocks. make sure the bodymans shit body work is pinhole free and block to make sure there are no dents remaining…. (lots of hail jobs). i have him do this with 320. i then have him da over the blocked areas with 500 grit. but on everysilver car i do. if i look hard enough i can find the 320 marks. and even if there are 320 scratches…. shouldnt the das sealers fill these scratches. When i started painting i wet sanded all the primer with 400 grit and a paint stick. do i need to go back to the basics and wet sand everything from now on? well silvers anyways? i am going to ppg training next tuesday in kansas city so hopefully i wont be writing to many more novels on here…. lol I also used that nr2000 for base on a 2011 infiniti and was very impressed with the results. i am really rethinking my 1.3 guns. It surprises me that in my mind the nr2000 out performs my 3000 hvlp by quite a bit. but again maybe its the bigger needle?
Thaank youuuuu!!!!
I have been waiting for someone with adiquite ppg knowledge to pick thier brain! So what guns to u use for what? What clear do u use on large panels. I have been using 2021 on large panels and large jobs. and dc3000 on bumpers and smaller jobs. i have been painting for quite a while. just never with ppg. All the problems i am having with ppg is problems i had starting out as a painter. for some reason ppg has been killing me. I notice with silvers tiny black specks in the paint. Thats with a brand new air system brand new hose and using pps cups. and only on silvers. so i would like to be its in the toners? which are only quart size and get swiched out often. (high production shop) also how long do u bake the clears. it seems like it takes forever before i can cut and buff. a lot of cars i paint in the mornings still go that day. and a lot of cars i rush buff the spots come back. is there any way to eliminate this? and i will take all the color advice u will give me. because ppg colormatches are horrible! i painted with sherwin ultra 7000 a few years back and they have ten times the colormatching capabilities. which is sad…..
i like the 4000 rp for clear. well worth the money. its super light and extremely comfortable to spray with. can i use a rp for metallics? i have found i big deal of difficulty getting mettallics to oriantate properly with ppg deltron. i used to spray with sherwin ultra 7000. when spraying mettalics with ultra drop coats would get rid of mottling or anything like that. drop coats on ppg is like pissing in the wind.
what would u suggest? a 1.5? what would be the best gun for sealer as well
das sealer. ppg i use pretty much 885 on everything. i never have problems with horizontal panels. just large vertical panels… hoods and roofs
am i ok using my base gun to apply sealer???what i have seen of our reducers is…. dt 870 70degrees dt885 degrees dt895 95 dt898 98 and above. i can control the temp in the booth in the winter…. so should i shoot my sealer reduced at say dt 885 and base with 870? i have tried just about everything with my problem. and dealing with my paint rep is like a monkey fucking a football. ppg is very new to me. any ppg advice would be great!
