Here’s a quick vid of my second attempt spraying 90 line. This time I figured I would do it on a write-off…..figures it turns out damn-near perfect!
My second attempt went a lot smoother then the first. I didn’t show in the video where i stopped to sand out a few dirt nibs, but I did have to. Other then that I was quite happy with how the product worked, just need to adjust to having the blowers going. This is the only color we currently have, I may bring a few more in to try before we go for a full switch.

so why does one need these “blowers” ? :pcorn:
what happens if you spray it with out blowers ?:huh:
it dries a lot slower
so then as long as ones not in a hurry :whistle: :pcorn:

To be honest, in a booth with decent airflow, and using air dryers (blowers) to provide good air movement across the paints surface, waterborne can dry just as fast as solvent base, if not quicker 🙂As said though, the trouble comes when you haven’t got good air movement. You end up with a saturated layer of air above the paints surface, so no further evaporation can occur, and it takes ages to dry fully. Turning the booth temp up a bit and just fanning with air from your gun works fine for small areas, but realistically you need dryers if you’re going to be using it long term. Having them set to blow across the surface rather than straight at it works best in my experience 🙂
(just to be clear, I haven’t actually used 90 line, but I’m basing my comments on the 4 different waterborne bases I have used, which all needed the same kind of environment to dry 🙂 )
