:cheer: very nice mate would love a set of rm’s for my mk2 !
[quote=”Andy T” post=18651]Looking good Tommy.
I really love that 414 clear, but it’s a bit on the expensive side for me. Should give you a great finish though.
What poly have you used? Reface?[/quote]
hey mate hows it going?
the poly was lesonal i gave it 2 coats and also a coat of lesonal epoxy under that !
should be a good base now!
this may seem to much datail but i have copied it from other forums i am on (ie what poly dose etc…..may benifit some neewbees)
Small update !!!
well after a long time blocksanding the car
we have the first stage of many primer coats
this coat is polyester spray filler basicly a thin coat of body filler to fill any corse sanding scratches /pin holes etc
2 coats were applied wet on wet then given a dust coat of black is used as a guide coat for blocking the panels with a finer grit of paperpics

more updates this week !
tommy
hey,
i had the same problems with my iwata ws400 and ppg dbc
just get a test panel and run reccomended pressure at gun pull the fan in a little tad and play about with the fluid
the fluid supply is were your going wrong … if its to wet it will go rashy looking and stripes …. keep turning it down till its med wet…not wet
some may not agree but this was my first iwata and thats how i cured my same probs
AND THEN I COMPLEATLY SOLVED IT BY MOVING BACK TO SATA :p
[quote=”adamd437″ post=18171][quote=”turbo t” post=13395] … got offered a rental of a £29000 booth just installed i thought great we will go for that
BAD IDEA … [/quote]
hey fellas, i now this is a old post but im a newbie so just thought id share a bit of info too.
when i worked at my old place they had 2 new booths installed, costing the governor £100,000 for the pair all in all, and the first 10 jobs or so were filthy with rubbish in the paint. and the first job alone was completely smothered from tip to tip with grit and all sorts. but once the new set-up had settled in and cleared all the airways everything was fine so that might explain the crud in your first job tommy 😉
and just a quick thank you to andy t and tommy for all the extra info discussed. very useful. and i definitely agree with the ‘familiarity is key’ comment andy ;)[/quote]
thanks for your input buddy !!!
Welcome to the site too!
was on a tight budget hence not stripping handle
thanks for the comments guys
all i have on this one is 475/9 small box beside has 0.5?
going to get the paint mixed tommor for a blend in back door and front bumper …put the sun gun on it tonight before i left and it looked very metallicy so just though i would ask if it had and xirralics or any special tinters in it !
thanks
woud’nt say it could cause fish eye maybe more orange peel as its thicker !!
i usually open the lid and sit it on the heater/rad for a good 20mins works great !
Now most tds say spray at 22 deg booth temp dep on hardner but what about the actual product ? dose that have to be at a similar temp ? any tec sheet tell you that ?
:welc from sunny scotland
20-25 deg ! but look a tds sheet for your clear coat that will tell you all you need to know— tip size —temp—hardner—thinners etc
im in uk too mate were you based ?
thanks for the input guys!!
the car is just full of small ripples and basicly wanting all the door /wing/qtrs all the same hight so its like one continious panel
as for the colour is lexus red 3 stage paint ….cream engine bay …. cream interior etc
its going to be a show car/daily driver … i like my cars looking good lol
some new pics from today
qtr replaced metal and first skim of filler
[IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/xr3iturbo/golf%20mk2/DSCF1093.jpg[/IMG]
on this bit the metal had been streatched by what looked like reversing along a fence so hammer and dolly out we got the matal back to shape …after that the metal was high at 2 points so we applied heat till red hot the rapidly cooled with water to shrink the metal and get rid of the tin can effect ….worked real well

[IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/xr3iturbo/golf%20mk2/DSCF1123.jpg[/IMG]
final skim bridged onto the door so its all level
[IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/xr3iturbo/golf%20mk2/DSCF1127.jpg[/IMG]
next is to final skim the repairs and the door/wing/qtr gaps/levels also have to do the same to the filler so everything looks like its one panel nothing sticks out or sits in
then whole car in poly primer
more to come soon
the car is in the restoration section !!
its realy not to bad itself few bits of rust i have fully cut out and welded in fresh metal
BEN …. as for what i am doing i and just leaving the std finish on the car and blocking it flat with 80 on a long block then 120 then i was going to poly the full car so i can block over …doors-qtrs + doors to wings etc so they all look level and straight
the poly i can get can go over std sound finishes keyed with 120g (lesonal brand by sickens )
apply poly then let sit over night block with 80 -120- 180- then 2k prime
i know it sounds alot of work but its not realy …. iam using 3m paper aswell and it cuts so good and on the long block so defo wont take long
how dose that sound?
so what are you recomending do the dent repairs ….. block the panels then spray poly ….block again then prime ?
Thanks guys !!!
Heres the plan
skim all panels with rage filler
block with large block and 80g paper ….guide coat and block till removed
re guide and re block with 80g till guide is removed
skim with rage finishing glaze (stopper)
knock down with 80 ..re guide and sand with 120 ..re guide block with 180
prime with 3 coats of 2k primer let sit over night
guide coat and block primer with 240g re guide then block with 320g
apply another 3 coats of 2k primer let sit over night
re guide and block with 320 re guide block with 500 re guide block with 800
job done
how dose this sound ?? did i miss anything any recomendations welcome
