Looking good! Sent you a pm.

What kind of camera do you have? If it has settings other than AUTO try them out in the booth and see which works best. I know on that hood shot you probably could have taken the pic facing your...

Edited a few of your photo's. Try not to get the fluorescent lights directly behind what you are taking a picture of.

Me too! Nearly every time I get the sata out and spray a thin clear! :D

Not enough material? Too fast hardener? Spray speed too fast?

Yep, that I am. I'm not blaming it all on Obama. It's the whole administration that is in charge. The amount they are cutting is a drop in the hat and won't make a difference except for affecting the...

I wish that was 2% of my pay. We are being forced to take off every Friday for 22 weeks without pay.

Ha...the Obama administration is about to take $800 out of my paycheck every month so none of my planned projects will be started on personal stuff. I do have a few things lined up hopefully within...

I thought this forum was to help people and be able to discuss products etc? The other guy speaks of the intercoat clear because it is designed for mixing pearls and covering up art work. You can...

I will make a recommendation here. My first airbrush was a cheap $50 Master and you couldn't really do anything with it. Couldn't get any detail work out of it at all. I talked to a lot of airbrush...

Isoproply alcohol mixed 1:1 with water should do the trick

What would a reasonable price be to replace this panel? Just the labor portion. Reason I ask is I gave someone a quote to paint the car. Labor was quoted at $1500 plus materials. I think we are going...

I've had the same issues with the oils but now I wipe my panels down with a solution to remove the oils so you know if you've polished enough. Menzerna makes a product called Top Inspection just for...

House of Kolor BC25 is the "blackest black" I've seen or used. Covers really well too.

Really? Not sure what part of the country you are from but here in Florida and the south the bubble caprices, box chevy's, impalas and pretty much any car you can put big wheels on is popular with...

Wish I could find one of those for about $500 in good running condition. Have my upholstery guy do the interior with some crushed velvet. I'd install a bada$$ stereo system and paint and make some...

I've taped some small objects and left them in the house for a few days and then painted. After removing the tape there was a residue left behind but I used some wax and grease remover before I...

BASF RM-909 works well for this. It's waterborne.

Pressure washer lol. Try some Meguiars #34 Final Inspection or Griots Speed Shine. Both of these can be found at Advance Auto Parts. Mixing some isopropyl alcohol 1:4 with water I have heard to work...

As big as some of those runs are it's probably going to take quite a few days for it to harden up so you can work with it. I usually take a razor blade and "shave" most of it out and then move on to...

I've got some infratech medium wave lamps but my fan didn't ventilate the booth I made very well so the overspray stuck around inside for quite a while and I wasn't comfortable putting a hot object...

Went and got me some albuterol and steroids today. My throat is pretty red and sore. I will be looking into the direct feed hood. Why did I choose such an expensive hobby? lol

Sounds good. I will try again this weekend. It's supposed to be around 70. On another note after spraying in my garage this past week I've come to the conclusion that I need a breathing system. I...

So I used me new Tekna the other day with some Dupont basecoat. The job came out perfect but yesterday/last night I sprayed some white/silver metallic paint and it came out a little blotchy. It was...

If a panel is stripped to metal then epoxy and 2k primer applied is it safe to leave outside for long periods of time? Reason I ask is because I'm stripping my truck and doing it in sections. I'm...

Well since the link to the forum where it showed the product and how it worked was deleted I guess you can delete the entire post. No need for it here. Sorry I posted.

Thought some of you guys might like to read up on this. I've been into detailing for quite a few years and this product is quite impressive.

Wish they sold R-M primers in a quart. Looks like I would have over $500 in epoxy primer and 2k primer just for the hood. Yeah I would have alot left over but how do you justify charging someone that...

Advance and Auto Zone are phasing the Trizact 3000 grit's out so grab them while you can! If you need multiples it's cheaper to buy them here or locally at a supplier.

When you say a gallon do you mean 4 qts plus reducer for a total of 6 or 4 qts ready to spray?

I might be repainting this mustang for someone who works within the company I work for. He recently got it back from a shop that did $3700 in repairs and he is having a few issues with it. First...

I've used Rage Everglass before and had it around 2" thick and it hasn't cracked. It's been 6 years since I built the piece. It's not a a vehicle body but inside of a vehicle on a console. Maybe this...

I don't spray a whole lot and have only used 4 different clears so far. Don't have any pictures of the Nason 496 but for a panel it worked ok. I did do an overall with the fast reducer and it looked...

I know this post is a month old but I have the exact same gun and tips. I sprayed some slick sand a few months ago for the first time with everything wide open and 23 psi at the regulator on the gun....

I would have if the place that sold it to me would have let me know it needed it. They didn't mention it until I was back for my second batch of paint and clear. It's going to end up being cheaper to...

Are you spraying a colored gelcoat? They have it at the bottom of this page: http://www.uscomposites.com/polyesters.html Seems like it would be alot more durable than basecoat/clearcoat or single...

There was a ton of trash from the guy that sprayed the top for me. It was really cold and took forever for the clear to dry so it ended up with alot of trash in it. I should have made him take care...

I sprayed the whole side and rear door of my girlfriends suv and didn't charge her. I kinda wanted to do it though so it isn't that big of a deal to me. On the other hand I did quote my uncle $1800...

That's what I'm afraid of! I did find online where I can order Glasurit basecoats as well. So how are these clears when it comes to stone chips? I know the plastic bumper on the front of my truck...

It always sucks doing things for family and friends to me. You want to give them a good deal but you know what's going to be involved, how long it's going to take and they are going to want it cheap...

The clear is roughly $275 for 5 liters, a quart of activator is $112 which I need 2 and then the reducer is $100 for 3.5 litres. Don't know if they sell it by the quart. I will have to check. That...

That happens to be the exact gun I have for shooting clear. I guess with it being as thick as you say I could get quite a few jobs done with a kit. I think it will end up being 2 gallons of material....

Wow...the 155 and 255 are the same price even though you get 1.5 Liter's more with the 255. I guess with only spraying 2 coats this stuff will go a long way. Would you see a problem in spraying 3...

House of Kolor has custom colors. Not OEM colors. Not sure if you were meaning you are going into a collision type of repair or not. As for the House of Kolor prices...they are actually cheaper than...

Which model number of clear are you spraying? I've only got a few available to me here in town and only one (923-255) can be used in an un-heated booth. My next question is how many coats of this...

Obviously house of kolor is going to tell you that you have to use their clear but I've used Dupont over it before. I've never sprayed house of kolor clears before either so I'm not sure how they...

I sprayed some for the first time a few months back with my finishline 3 with a 2.2 tip and it sprayed out really nice and slick. Sanded it with 220 and had no issues with it loading the paper....

House of Kolor has 2 types of kandy. The KBC which is a kandy with pearls mixed in with it. Most people apply it over a silver or gold. It takes fewer coats to cover and is easier than straight...

Where I work we are required to have a hearing exam every year and you are correct. The cheap foam plugs offer the most protection. Personally I prefer skull screws. You don't actually have to touch...
