The guy that bought my truck a few years ago, called me right before new years , and wanted to meet me at the DMV to do the final paperwork from a sale in Nov. he actually had me sign the title over...

I am gonna wager a guess that the line pressure, before the test equip is not the same in the different locations so you might have 50 psi regulated to 30 at the test gauge showing 9 psi at the cap,...

Amen to that Len,

paint only sticks better to one side than the other, it is not bonded to it. Any flapping is sure release some paint flakes, not matter which side you painted.I have always...

Not trying to step on brians toes here, but I'll give the short version.
Air traveling down a 100ft hose will have 'frictional" loss. meaning 75 psi at the compressors regulator, will not give you...

AZ has a 6 car limit, But I think that is more like you can only have 6 cars titled in your name, before you need dealer status.Some have told me that it also means you can only have 6 titleled to...

the ones I have done all already had paint on them, yours, I'm assuming will be raw wood, why not hit it with clear urethane like you were gonna give it a natural finish, then apply your bc/cc over...

try this , take the lid off the guns cup, pull the trigger outside with your primer ready to spray, look inside while the trigger is pulled, are there bubbles rising to the top of your primer? if so...

If Len can't get you one. you might try ACE hardware, my local ACE has a very large selection of springs,near the loose nuts and bolts area! a couple hundred different springs.

just make sure it has a particulate filter on it, they make 95% and 99% filters, usually some type of fabric (coton, fiber) that air passes thru to filter out the chunks before it goes thru the...

I asked a similar question awhile ago. My friend who paints for a large dealership in Vegas, told me he had purchased a couple of new guns. They came from walcom, a gensi geo and another. Parts must...

My garage is done in 1/2 inch, short runs like yours will be. 1/2 inch has done me fine , but maybe run 1/2 to 1 side and 3/4 to the other, that way if you needed the volume of the 3/4 you would have...

Question on the corvette? does it reside in Las Vegas now? I might know its owner if it does.

thanks Len for the info

For the guys that work in a production shop, is there a a rule of thumb for using a mini gun ie sata mini jet as compared to a full size gun. Like if you were to spray only 1 panel would you use a...

might want to re-think that if Len offer, it WILL be a good job!

yup induction time will kill ya , we did some epoxy floors for DODGE after they bought a FORD test facility in YUCCA AZ . last floor the boss hurried me to get back and start another job. this stuff...

I worked in a steel parts manufacturing shop for a year, we made off road stuff, lift kits ,gas tanks ,shakles and such. a lot of it sold through JC whitney. and we used old powdered TIDE laundry...

I just spent Sunday with my buddy. He paints for a large dealership in Vegas,
I asked him what gun he sprays his clear with, he said he had just picked up a few guns recently. He told me he used a...

Mickey Thompsons

they call that one a micrometer, most people have a regulator at the gun inlet and make their adjustments there,with the regulator, which means you need to have the micrometer wide open. the...

too much water ruins latex sooo.....

You can thin with a product called FLO-TROL, it is a latex additive, instead of water, it thins your paint, but keeps the body of the paint from ' having it's...

We know what a fair price is to paint our car

(shudder)
those words will scare off most folks, because 95% of the time you really DON"T know what a fair price is, you have in mind what you think...

WOW!!!! those are so beautiful, a completely different age of boating, since your in COLO, I have to assume they are fresh water boats, which should help somewhat on corosion, eh?

I live on Lake...

88gt- what is the reason to wait before waxing and for how long? I have one coming up soon and was gonna finish with meg's cleaner wax, after the cutting. the clear on my project has been cured for 6...

gotta know a little more bc/cc , or urethane 2k, acrylic enamel , single stage?

Nice and clean inside, noticed the new dash, cool setup for the strip. I found a clean used one at some scrap yard for 50$ for the owners ,cuz someone had made a wood one for it and it was a eyesore...

I had one that did similar,and after trying all the normal things, it seems it was the filter, it was normal looking except the "filter" part was like the gold filter stuff in those cheap inline...

no rear bumper on this one , but I sprayed one off a nissan , tube style for this luv, it had the mounting brackets with it, and looked like it needed little mod to fit, just a few holes, also...

possibly a 2 part problem. Definetly the start capacitor, is bad (delay in starting). This will heat up a motor fast! making it build enough juice for the initial start up with out that cap. as...

tool is very pricey, but alot of places will loan or rent you one!!

it is rated over 400PSI and that is with water, which has "water hammer", something you wouldn't have with compressed air. I'd really like to know how well it would work!

On this subject, has any tried WIRSBO or AQUA PEX. It is the current replacement for copper. It is plastic , but not brittle, more "rubberized". It is called a memory plastic. you can hit it under...

my father partnered in a mortuary for a little while(silent partner). I'm really glad he never asked me to fix damaged caskets!! new or used!

maybe stainless, magnets don't attract to that!!

Thank you Harry, yes it was ppg omni ae w/hardner. It will all be covered with hi solids clear urethane for durability and uv protection. and thank you for the link that was just what I was looking...

I am painting a helmet for my self, it has it's base coat of AE on it . I want to lay out some different designs on it, to see what I like. I have my transfer tape, but that is for masking the...

thanks len. now i can shoot the third color

I am painting a helmet for ME, and I am spraying 3 main colors, I sprayed 2k urethane waited until it would be OK to tape according to the Data sheet. applied 3M blue over the first section, where...

completely true, I wipe it all off when I break out the gun.I guess ,I just coat it when its not being used. if it's gonna be used soon I just leave it dry

I often under estimate stuff too. I now make up my estimate the way I always have, and double it and that gets me in the ball park . then I adjust from there up only ,never down. I works for me as...

I use laq thinner and compressed air. then a light coat of wd 40 if it isn't gonna be used for a few days. (internals):)

SEE..... isn't a decent gun so much better than some ole POS. next try a really good gun, after working with your EVO. Oh YEAH don't forget to clean it WELL not like your last one! LOL

I don't think that metallics hide near as well as solid colors. they show every dent or wave because the angle is not the same in that section where a dent is and it reflects different.

I have used probably 750 of these Len , when I used to paint houses. they are worth their weight in gold. When you spray a ceiling, or a walkin closet or bath room there is nowhere for the overspary...

so my ripped up sweats, and tank top and dew rag ain't enough protection, oh and forgot my halfmask particulate filter/respirator! the bandana over my nose! LOL:D
