:agree Rat knows his sheet
Dont waste your money on DVD’s
This site and if you search youtube will yield you just as good as any DVD just keep looking and reading the forums
its your car so you got something to practice on
I use PPG DBC not sure of the cost difference between PPG and Dupont but DBC Is not a cheap paint but not Very expensive either around $50.00-$90.00 pint(base)
add reducer($50.00 gal) and basecoat hardener($37.00 half pint) could cost 150.00 and up just for the base ,If you like Dupont and already have most of the supplies to use it then keep using it.
If you use all your supplies up then so be it try another brand (then you need to learn how the new stuff works lol)
I would see what Jobbers are around your area I have Martin Senour , PPG and BASF by me I have used them all no problems with any of them, they can help with problems and are invaluable at times.
I have never used the Finish One(martain senour)clear before, And I only sprayed dupont once(Centari) way back in the day for an Insurace job on a Semi Grain Trailer havent used Dupont Since (Not that it was bad just no jobbers by my house)And all of us have been where you are , No one is immune to paint problems. You will learn and thats what this site is about.
and I would say time and temp are factors in your Problem
We all know you need to follow the tech sheets for the product used (still looking where it says to use the heat gun lol)
But ya sand it down , spray some sealer and start over and just do the whole panel dont make extra work for yourself sometimes when you cut corners to do the job in half the time it takes four times as long
Another note If Grandma finds out you been masking cars with her bed sheets your in for a heap of trouble (also cloth is a very bad masking material) stick to plastic or paper only please will keep trash out of you clear. canvas wheel covers are allowed
I Agree with Ben, It will be the best and hold up, PPG makes a basecoat called FBC this is a Delfleet product. I have used it and its just like normal basecoat https://buyat.ppg.com/refinishProductCatalog/ServeFile.ashx?FileID=e376e519-bcc3-4952-af2e-b0cd775ece49
Price is not to bad either
yep its true but most shops have filled out or should have filled out a form saying they are working on getting everything together (kinda like and extention to get compliant)
you are even supposed to have a VOC list of all sprayable material
most gun manufactures will supply a compliant certificate just have to ask for it
i would recommend and auto glass place install the new window and as for the dent in the frame well umm ya i would take it and check the alignment to see what all else happned you might need to put it on a frame rack at a bodyshop to have it fixed
most good shops can atleast take a look at it for you to tell you what else is wrong with it.yep what my dad told me to when i wanted to do body work said dont do it you will beat yourself up and by 40 you will hurt all over all for nothing. so I became an electrical mechanical tech for the Dairy industry and do painting on the side for lil extra cash also around here (wisconsin) the fast food managers make like 55-65k a year
and you dont want to base your top pay at only 14.50hr (30k year) that wont get you anything
now if you were in a place where custom paint is in you could make some good coin maybe work for foose or buy boyds old shop if the bank dont have it yet start a reality autobody shop show( wait maybe thats been done ) well ya theres better things to do than suck fumes for a livingmy jobber sells them but I only asked about the Quart lids and they are $8.00ea there the dedoes lids either with the ears or the gear set up
my jobber says most people just take the plastic ears off and use a drill (when in a bind)or dont have a rack
works great I have done it myself- AuthorPosts
