I have to paint a hood two fenders and a tailgate on my project truck. I have a gallon of DC5135 production clear laying around. I plan on sanding it smooth after im done spraying it, but would I...

Youre probably right. Ill just weld it, i only want to do this once anyway. And upon looking at the truck with the handle off the door skin actually has an indentation for the handle so its not...

Yea the bond line is what i was worried about. But I dont see how it would show through since none of the adhesive would actually be on the outside on the panel. I just want to glue a piece of metal...

Just curious if this is advisable or not. Currently dont have access to a welder. Im shaving the door handles on a truck, Ive done it before with a welder with no problems. But this time I was...

Ive had this bus for a little while now, bought it with a friend completely re-did the interior and made it into a limo buss essentially complete with hardwood floor wrap around booth seating flat...

Anyone ever do a tailgate skin is it like doing a door skin? Havent done one in a while but i can manage. Anyway the link down there shows what i want. Im re-doing a tailgate for one of my mini...

thats what my thought process was but some people will only do a small piece with a small gun for whatever reason. Ive got 3 or 4 nice touch up guns.

how do you guys go about picking a gun for a job? for example the last 3 bike tanks or fenders i painted i used 3 different guns and not one was a clear perfect choice. painting bike parts is most if...

youre right. But the 15 minutes of time and stuff i had laying around in the garage already will work just fine. It would be a different story if this was my only primer gun or i was going to use it...

its internal...the threads were so messed up that even running a tap through them wasn't going to help.... I got inventive and just drilled and taped two holes on each side of the gun body then made...

Bought a finishline 3 primer gun, snap on mini jet, a devilbis dagger airbrush and a iwata...cant remember the model....mini jet for 100 cash today at a tag sale. A friend said the woman had a bunch...

So you dont have them in stock? I was looking mostly at the 16-22" ones. I wanted to buy one and see how well they worked, and then order more/smaller sized ones. I was just wondering if it was a 2...

Im about to purchase one or more. Is is just a single unit? I see on some other sites for the same price give or take its a set of two maskers for the same price. I asked about these a while back...

I will try that stuff, for the areas that have glue residude... other areas look like tan lines sort of speak, not sure what to do about those.

And i also wouldnt want to be spraying in anything...

Ive got an e350 party bus for a lack of a better word... looks like a shuttle bus at the airport...actually thats exactly what it is, now it just has bench seats on the inside.... Anyway, the...

...Ive been doing mobile wheel repair also some small parts and the occasional bumper. i work out of a large trailer that doesnt actually get trailered anywhere it just sits at the auction for sublet...

The omni clear is good. I havent seen how well the omni clear holds up in the weather years later but im sure its fine. The higher end stuff is going to have a better hold out over the years I...

If thats what the tech sheet says I wouldnt use it....

Alright by no means am i not familiar with cleaning a gun, i own several, use and clean them daily and none have problems like this it drove me crazy today. Went to prime something with my devilbis...

Ive got an extra taillight sitting around, ill play with it... Im going to try adding silver to the clear, why not haha

Have a sport bike sitting in the garage that needs paint...need to get the factory decals off, i tried a heat gun and peeling but it took the paint with it... tried an eraser wheel...as expected it...

How would you go about tinting a taillight with clear like that?... just clear the lense and while the clear is still tacky spray over reduced or like a candy color over the clear and thats it? Ive...

I would have never ever though of doing this... Im going to try it on an old rocking chair i have laying around... I bet it would look amazing especially if i put down a 2k primer sanded it and based...

hmmm when i say orbital i mean like a DA basically.

So forced rotation is better than random orbital is what youre saying? Does it feel and look similar to an orbital in the manner of which it actually spins? Ive never heard of a forced rotation...

Can anyone recommend a good orbital buffer? I want a good quality one thats going to last the years through a lot of work. I like the ones with the side handle like a regular rotary buffer not those...

yea youll be more than fine... the dekup isnt anything special just think of it like a regular paint cup...

maaco is like mcdonalds in the sense its independently owned so you may get a good paint job or a bad burger one place and opposite another. But also like Len said "you get what you pay for" If you...

I have no idea what kind of paint that is. Is it a single stage? Why did you spray one coat then wait over night? You should have waited 10-20 minutes for it to flash and added the second coat. What...

Depends on your clear correct? Not all clears need a flex additive do they?

110v is perfect for sheetmetal and such.... go with hobart over craftsman.

Yea been there done that.... everyone has an opinion. I have work to do.

Ive rented booths from anywhere from a 6 pack to 50 bucks and hr. Ive heard it varies greatly area to area. Look around your area and see if theres anywhere you can already rent a booth....

...

I think SW paints uses an activator. The reducer RH75 or whatever temp is an 'integrated basecoat stabilizer'. Might not be the same thing. But it does harden up the basecoat.

It being in the first layer of clear burried by the other layers is going to be problematic if you sand to far through that layer of clear into the basecoat. I hate bugs... If its not dust its a...

ah good to know. I wouldnt have thought about that. Im assuming I do not have the ability to use a 3phase welder... which is fine really Im sure Ill have more than enough success with a regular...

The farecla is good stuff. Its expensive though isnt it? I used it at work over the summer. I did the same thing with a water bottle it cleans up real nice and doesnt glob up. I used farcle for...

cool Im in no rush just yet working on some sort of spray booth to get myself out of my dirty dusty garage.

Any idea where I can find some filters? Im basically converting a green house into a...

Im looking for a welder preferably 220v so i can weld anything I want as i can see myself doing all sorts of things. I was looking at the clarke welders here at the store how good are those? Im not...

Im seeing this deteriorate... Id go back to where ever you where before you wind up losing money or getiting sued somehow. Is there any written contract? A partnership? Even some sort of contract...

wow... back and forth... who are you trying to convince about this guy us or yourself? Dont get me wrong, it sounds like it could possible work out really well. But it also sounds like it could...

Im willing to bet its just sprayable primer brushed on with an acid brush or something

id say the 2 stage not knowing anything else about the compressors. When you say space and power what do you mean? Both of those can be overcome. Ill tell you when I finally bought my 'big'...

sounds like a lot of us (those who can) will be taking paint home from work :privateeye:..


what about waterbourne paints?.... Well i guess it wouldnt matter since we're still using urethane...

how does the 3m wand work? ive seen ones that replace the aircap of a spray gun and others that where like a spray bottle with a long wand on it.

very nice. How much body work is involved in the other car? Do you have to paint it to? Id never trade that kind of car for body work. Id rather save and fork over the cash that give away a car...

You could use a 'wand' Im not sure of the tools name but its basically a stick with a hole in it that works like a spray gun to apply primer it hard to reach areas like the inside of frame rails and...

I think its like what Len said. What you've personally mastered it whats going to work best for you. If one paint was above all others, then that paint would be the only paint. Also different paint...

what was wrong with the clear? Ive been wanting to try their new line of clear. I actually love their primer. Although most primers seem to work just fine for me. Not a lot of room for error i...
