yeah im learning on my 1.5 too. im not having any problems with my base at all. but my clear is another story. i wish i had a better place to paint so i can get out of my garage. but oh well i guess ill have to find a place

 

i love my jet 90 for clear with the right setup sw spot clear is 3-1-10% there super glamour is 4-1-1. I spray metallics with one of my 3 nr 2000s i spray solids with a sata rp and i also have an anest iwata that i use for solids i learned how to paint with a nr 95 with a 1.5 and a siphon fed but that was when we used mostly acrylic enamel or synthec enamel .
i tried cuting my flow back with a 1.4 but it didnt work its tricky to paint when it 100 degrees in a down draft and your boss is breathin down your throat to get that car out and doesnt want to hear any thing about flash time

 

i wish i knew how to paint better thats all i can say. but i guess practice makes perfect. maybe one day ill get this damn clear to lay right

 

all you guys talking about paints work at shops? or even if its just something you do..heh I want to respray my car so if any of you are interested shoot me a PM

 

Practice does make perfect. That's the only way. Learn from your mistakes.


3xb18...Spot clear? Is that like duponts Hyper cure?

sorta like a fast production clear? That's all we ever use except for all over's. I wouldnt have a clue what we would do without that shit drying in an hour haha.

 

ya my spot clear is dry after it bakes for 10 minutes my all over clear bakes for 30 minutes and after that u really have to let it cool down before u can touch it if it a small car and a cool day i can get away with using spot clear on an all over but i have to fly so one side isnt dry enuf to catch over spay i only try that in the winter on side jobs when i wanna go home i will paint a car and bake it for 10 minutes and then tell the person to drive it home haha

 

i couldn't even attempt that. I fuck up shit so bad when im in a hurry its not even funny. Random dumb things happen like my hose would hit my clear, or i would start to get tangled in the hose and flip out....just dumb shit haha

 

dam, ya shit like that used to happen to me but i have to fly around and i wear a vision 2000 fresh air system so my air hose is conected to my waist so it is much eaiser to control so i get lucky but any time you paint somethin dumb is bound to happen every once in a while
