Thanks Cool.
She was tickled to death when she picked it up an hour ago.
I sprayed it this afternoon.

Does the rest of the truck look good? I can't imagine that the new paint on the tailgate far outshines the rest of the truck.

Thought you would say that.
I would think that also.
The truck was well cared for.
There isn't much difference in shine, however I told her I would polish it to make it even this fall when it cools off....it really is close how it stands. The farmer really babied his baby before handing it over to Meghan.
LOW mileage for a 93'. Wished I had it. Just not crazy about the beige....
Sprayed with 1.4 in my plus gun first time....think I will continue on with that size.

Looks good. Heard about that clear. Pretty amazing. Do you ever have issues with it drying in the gun or spraying dry or do you just mix a little at a time?

Which Matrix clear is that? I know they offer a bunch of different clears. Ever use the AG40? What do you think about their base? Pretty much the same as DBC? How are the primers? I've been thinking about starting to use their products.

Which Matrix clear is that?
MS747 dries to buff out in less than 2hrs and buffs like butter.
I cut it 5-7%.

I know they offer a bunch of different clears. Ever use the AG40?
no not yet

What do you think about their base?
good coverage and blending


Pretty much the same as DBC?
far more economical and mixes 1:1

How are the primers?
buff urethane is their best.
epoxy sprays silky smooth.
lightening primer sprays good and dries fast...45 min. but doesn't fill or sand like the buff.
haven't tried their high build.

if you have decent equipment you will love matrix
