Len, I also find the area on either side of the run, the raised area, is lower then the run or the panel on either side of the run, as you look at the run you can even see it, also after you get the...

Len, I also find the area on either side of the run, the raised area, is lower then the run or the panel on either side of the run, as you look at the run you can even see it, also after you get the...
I definitely don't consider myself a pro yet, but one of the most important things that I have learned as I move forward is to take my time, I used to run around the car as I was spraying and now I...
I used a finishline III with a 1.8 tip, reduced my feather-fill G2 with a little acetone and it sprayed very nice.
Thanks just what I was looking for, used the sealer today all went great.
Thanks, I am at the shop now, so this came at just the right time, I usually sand 600 wet then spray base, without any sealer, but this guy wants it and he is paying for it, so customers are always...
I have never used a sealer before this but the customer wants one and I can not talk him out of it, so I will spray a test panel today and let all know the findings, was hoping I could skip that step...
Question is, if I wet sand with 400 what grit does that compare to dry? Reason I am asking is I am spraying a sealer, then solid black base, then clear and I am going to use an epoxy for a sealer...
I used it to spray my 68 vette. I used the 333 base and the high end (most expensive) clear, worked like a charm for me.
I use my plus gun to shoot clear only, I use the 1.4 tip, spray at 39psi, and have the fluid adjustment out about 2 1/2-3 turns out. I used a write up on gun adjustment I found on a online paint site...
I really like the the the devilbiss 670 plus, It is a great clear gun....
What a great looking Vette! I am getting ready to lay color on a 68. C2 big block vettes are sky rocketing in price, I have been looking on ebay and cars that are apart, missing parts ect are going...
Thanks for the product info!
Serge, Whats the brand of that high build epoxy? That would save me a lot of time!!! Thanks
Thanks Phil, I have a fresh air system, a willson half mask system I picked up on ebay, now re-branded Suriviair, I just never used it since dragging that hose around is a pain in the butt, but I was...
I used the 3m disposable, how do you read the expiration date on these? How long will they last? I always take the pre filters off and store them in a separate sealed bag, I read this stops the...
love to see that, could you email to steve.james8@comcast.net ?
Thanks
Take it to a car show, there you will get the responses that hard work like that deserves. I know we do this for our selfs but it is nice to get a rave review once in a while!!!
I went to ppg website, emailed them and they sent them to me in an attachment, with ones are you looking for? If you send me your email I will forward the ones I have, I believe they are the 2k,...
Thanks Phil, Just what I needed. I have done a few fiberglass repairs and did them in the way you described, but with resin and mat, but have never repaired anything like this before. Thanks again...
Sorry I don't have a pic of this, this is a plastic, composite??? fender on a late model Cadillac. First what are these made of, second, the hairline crack is about 2" long at the top, middle of the...
I have the spec's for the platinum at my shop I will post for you Monday, you can go to the Sharpe web site and compare there. I see you posted on the "other" forum on this and got a @hitty answer, I...
Tried this today, like day and night:) I used the 1.3 tip and my clear went on like glass, using 50 psi I was getting the sag and run thing....Thanks, Steve
Looking to rent a paint booth on weekends in the Sarasota, Bradenton Area. Appreciate any help in locating. :)
Thanks Steve
Does that wire come in different thickness? Is it to be used with shielding gas or not? Thanks Steve
Thanks man, not to get too mushy here, but that means a lot!! Steve
Thanks Travis, great info, I did use the DX840 on the blend edges of the clear, came out really good, I did not use it to blend the base, which now it sounds like I should have. I think I will wait...
Thanks Chevyman, Right now I am happy with the repair, in the future though, the halo is not a difference in base color, but because of the fact that I did not blend it out far enough? The repair is...
Hello, I used DBC for blending the color on a 06 civic, the blend seems to have more silver in it then the surrounding area. I applied 3 light coats, since the p-sheet states 2-3 coats, should I have...
update, Clear came out really nice, using that DX840 really works nice, I used it like the p-sheet stated, mixed 50% into ready to spray clear and it melted the dry edge right in. Base is a little...
Well I am up to my waist in it now!!! I have the base blended in, so the easy part is over now the clear, I have done a lot of research, practiced on a few panels, I guess we will see soon. I wish I...
Thanks Len, I am going to get this a go today, I will let you know the results, I appreciate all the good advise. Steve
OK I tried the clear in the scratch method, no go. This is on a 06 civic, the area in question is the top of the door, (don't ask me how she got a scratch there!!!) This area has a end edge toward...
I just picked some up today, using tomorrow, I will let you know how it goes. Steve
Thanks for the help
Hello, my wife scratched her new car with her key, the scratch is a fine line about 2" long, and it catches my finger nail as I run across it. It does not look like it is through the clear. How would...
I have two of these guns, for the beginner, which I am they are great. I sprayed omni 170 not reduced, laid down very nice with the 1.3 tip, have not tried base or clear yet, but if it performs as...
Thank you Len, and a Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Hello, a freind of mine wants me to spray a rear bumper cover for a 81 vette for him. I have done overalls on both my chevelles and my 68 vette, but I believe this cover is a sort of flexable...
I know these guns are disco, but I have pick up two of them since I have heard a lot of positive comments on how well they work with little air. Yes they are a little slow, but compared to my finish...
