HELP!! I have a turquoise car that I cannot blend. Everytime I try it leaves a silver ring. I have just painted the car and I am using the same paint. I have tried blender, different thinner,...

I recently attended a car show and three cars were side by side each painted black. All three were different depths and darkness of color. I could not find the owner of the (blackest one). I plan...

Hey everybody, been a while since we talked, hope all are well. I am restoring my 1968 Chevelle this winter. I want to paint the motor and transmission (automatic) but not sure what to use. Should...

If the decals are small and not satin or flat black I clear over them, but only if they are top quality decals. If not they may wrinkle. Haven't seen a Cuda in a while!

As long as the scratch doesn't go to the metal your alright to use the clear. I have done it many times. You will see it unless you flat sand and buff. The problem is that you will have to buy a...

Barry, use a good 2 part putty, not the laquer type in a tube and you will be fine.

Just wanted to ask someone who knows about Devilbiss guns a question about which would be the better gun, the JGA, HVLP or the Finishline with 3 tips? My shop has 1" pipe and a 60 gal. 7 HP...

Anybody use 400 grit to sand between 2:1 clear. I have sprayed 2 coats and want to sand it smooth and put 2 more. They recommend 600 but I would use 400 if I were repainting a car. Just wondered if...

Been struggling with my PLUS gun for a while because it just didn't throw enough paint. Last night I turned in the pattern adjustment and I could not believe the difference in the amount of paint it...

Yep, that's it.

Just bought the second automatic compressor drain from harbor Freight. The first one worked for a couple of days then quit. Even though I could not find anything wrong with it I bought another one....

Anybody know how to remove the lock from a 1969 Camaro glove box?

Anybody used 5 Star or the Transtar 2:1 clears? I would like to use them on my next project but didn't know about their characteristics. Thanks

Len, do you wet sand or dry sand? Thanks. I am afraid of getting moisture into the primer as I have had some problems of small water bubbles coming up later especially where I had bondo.

I finished all the body work and primed with some very high priced Dupont primer. I dry sanded with 220 and a guide coat. Next time I will water sand! Anyway, I plan on re-priming where the whole...

Go to the "store" at the top of the page and look at the DVD's Len sells.

Sounds like a JGA suction fed gun. It will be very hard to spray latex through this gun without thinning it. However, when you thin latex your coverage is terrible and when it dries it looses it...

I have the same gun and it took a while to get use to it. Distance from the gun to the panel is critical. Also, with AE you need a slow reducer so the paint will flow out better. The 1.4 tip allows...

If you decide to sell the gun please let me know. the one I have is about worn out and I would like to have another one. Thanks

On a Daytona Yellow car with black stripes what would anyone suggest for paint? Some have suggested SS and others BC/CC. Which would you use if it was yours? This car has been fully restored so...

Just thought I would ask about which clear some of you would use on a 1969 Z-20. It will be yellow and I want a really good clear that polishes good and lasts. This car needs to be done with the...

The work has been out a couple of years with no problem. The last job I used it on was a Harley. Even though it sets inside it looks great. i hope gasoline is not an issue on that job! Just have...

I always spray 3 coats so i can buff out the trash. Let me know what you think of the clear.

I have use 465 many times and it is the best clear Nason has in my opinion. It sprays like glass and be careful when you spray because it will flow out. If you spray it out to see it flow it will...

Anybody using the lvlp guns? If so, what kind of finish are you achieving with BB/CC or SS? Also, which gun and set-up do you use? I have a cheap HVLP and I have never known what a good HVLP gun...

Thanks for the info. Could you tell me which fluid tip you use with the base and clear? Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I have a JGA HVLP and I wanted to get a GTI cap for it but Devilbiss said the gun bodies were different and the GTI cap would not make it a GTI gun. The JGA is a good gun but...

Just taken in a 1969 Z-28 to restore. It will be Daytona yellow with black stripes. For once the customer wants the best. He wants a show car finish equal to what he has seen on American Hot Rod. ...

Thanks and I am sure it was the Shopline (Omni) SS that gave me such a fit (gold color). Should have used BC/CC but the customer would not hear of it. My old stand-by, Centari, would have done much...

Thanks for the info. Just wondered why you don't use it for base as well as what you do use to spray base with? Thanks

I also have a PLUS gun and I am curious as to the pressure that should be used. I have experimented with 1.2-1.4 tips and various pressure settings. However, what should be correct with BC/CC and...

I was in the paint store the other day and looked at an Astro Pneumatic gun. It was a Quantum HVLP, 1.5. Looked good but does anyone use these for their BC/CC and SS work? If so, what size tip do...

Matrix has moved in close to my area and I was wondering if those of you who are familiar with it would comment on its quality. never used it so I don't know what to use and perhaps what to stay...

Anybody know of any iso free SS or clear on the market? Just wondering how they held up too. thanks!!

What size tip? Probably 1.8. You can do it but you will have to play with the fluid adjustment and air pressure. If the base is metallic go light on the coats and also the Omni probably won't cover...

Painted Omni SS (gold metallic) yesterday and i tried to buff a small place today but it scratched too bad. i used a foam pad and 3M microfinishing compound. maybe the paint is just not dry enough....

Just finished a car today with gold Omni SS. It turned out very nice without mottling or streaking! However, it has some trash in it as usual. How long should I wait before trying to get the trash...

I was going to spray tonight with Omni SS but I just discovered I don't have enough thinner. Could I use another brand of Urethane thinner or should I just go to the store tomorrow and get some...

Just came from the paint store and they advised against wetting the floor before I paint (SS Omni). Never had any trouble before and I am concerned about dust. Just wondered if it made any...

Still trying to get used to leaving my old JGA suction fed gun. Didn't seem to have these problems with it, however, I sprayed mostly AE with it.

Just sprayed under a hood with Omni SS. I know it is not the best stuff around but that is what the customer wanted. I have one place about a foot square that mottled. The more I messed with it...

I use a Hookit II with interface pad to sand CC and single stage. If the car is going to be sealed, what grit could you get away with? I have been using 400 but some CC takes 220 to even cut it. ...

Working on a '68 Chevelle with rounded quarters and doors. What can I use to get them sanded "flat"? My long blocks seem to be digging in too much. Just wondered if there was something around the...

I have a 1967 Ford Fairlane that a customer insists on using Centari AE. What gun set-upo would you begin with? I have sprayed alot of Centari but it haas been awhile! I have a JGA suction fed, A...

Hey everybody in the paint and body world!

I have a 1967 Fairlane to spray and the guy insists on using single stage. the car is a gold color and I have used Dupont for years but I am afraid of...

Anybody familiar with this line of BC and Urethane? Thanks

Mostly use Dupont and I have been spraying with 30 and up with trigger pulled. Thanks!!

I have used JGA suction fed guns for 30 years. Just bought a Plus gun for better efficiency but I can't seem to get enough paint even through the 1.4 tip. My old gun was 1.8 and it layed down a...

Hey, I am thinking about purchasing the same gun. I would like to know how it sprays the clear as well as what kind of clear you spray. hope all goes well!!

I have a new 60 gal., 5hp compressor. In the next few weeks I will be spraying three older, larger cars in Centari. I currently have a JGA suction fed and I would like to find a gun that creates...
