Be glad it wasn’t yellow… :silly:ppg 500 makes a single stage clear sealer….i think this is something similar to what stone is saying…Matrix line calls it color blender…never used either but i don’t do blends on metallics everyday… What color and type materials are you spraying?
try matrix :clappy
[quote=”bobwires” post=15301]alright, how about some more specific questions.
How many of you guys use gun cleaners? would a super cheapo HF gun cleaner be good for me to pick up for an initial wash before I break down the gun?
Is there a filter system on a gun cleaner that will save you much on the thinner? I mean does it really get the thinner clean? or do you have to clean them in fresh thinner even after using a good gun cleaner?
I use devilbiss disposable bags, becuase they’re cheaper than DeKups, and seem to work fine.
I have a stainless bowl I use for my initial cleaning. I dump out the leftovers and drop all the parts in there, slosh them around, brush a little, then put them in a clean cup of thinner. I percolate some thinner in the gun before I do the final wash. After they’re 100% clean I put the gun back together and shoot a couple oz of thinner through it. I only use this procedure on my nice gun, since the old ghetto guns I have are only for primer, and a quick clean seems to be fine. if they sputter I clean them up thoroughly.
– is there anything about my procedure that sounds dumb?
if the gun is very clean and still gets bubbles back up through the cup, what does that mean? I have 2 old cheap guns that do this. don’t spray well – no problems with spray pattern, just sprays about 2 seconds, then stops, then picks right back up. Like the pressure is building up in the cup or something.[/quote]
BUBBLES THROUGH THE CUP…..

Flash Times
I’m not in a booth but I have a pull fan in the bay.
I have learned that if I wait 15-20 min before my second coat of clear my runs and solvent pop (pop is rare for me) has become practically non-existent. I hammer the base after 15 minutes but I have become more patient and usually wait 20 min to an hour or so before rushing my clear over base coat…..like jason said there is always something else to do. :pcorn:wonder whats hiding under that quarter,,,,, :rofl :rock :woohoo:
its drained….good idea on the bellow :clappy

That’s one plant!keep up the good work!
