Very nice, hows the u-tech for coverage? are you sealing/priming them white first?
Hey looks great, what was it like for coverage, do you tint your primer or wet on wet to help, is that your booth in the pics, Do you let them air dry or bake them in a booth set up, I have noticed that alot of people use homemade or garages that which the spray in, which that in mind do many of you guys do insurance work with this set up etc

thanks smooth, u tech has excellent coverage and holds up extremely well. i always seal no matter what the existing paint condition is for a taxi to save paint and make color uniform throughout. i dont use white sealer tho because it throws the color off and makes it appear brighter when i need it a tad redder so i mix my sealer pink.

thanks rikka, yea, air dry no heat :blush: the homemade booth works, but it needs lots of improvements or simply replacement lol. we do insurance work but not as much as we do fleet repairs/refinishing
Awesome, I love fleet work, at my work I can fill the booth with replacement panels with can fix a couple if vans at a time they pay great for use, are work is by 80% insurance work, with being second panel I get most of the crap that people don’t wanna do but it keeps me busy ha ha, the only thing I noticed with air dry was the die back on the high solids, do you over reduce to get a better finish or do you flat back a lot 🙂
