Welcome to the site!
All paint guns are set up the same…that is, adjusted to what suits you. Every paint sprays different, and every painter applies with a different technique. Play with the gun setting, and adjust your technique. If you want it wetter, move in a little closer to the panel and do slightly slower passes, possibly with a little more overlap. You may also adjust the paint and use a slower reducer/activator and maybe a little more solvent.
Just practice and make it work…you have a very good gun to work with.
Good luck!
Looks great! I am sure the single stage will perform very well for you!
[quote=”lild” post=17926]no shop should ever be that clean and tidy, to the point where you can actually find things. i’m pretty jealous. nice place. what are those robot looking thingys hang down next to each car?[/quote]
Looks to me like air hoses and Vacuum lines…had ones like that at the Ford dealer I apprenticed at.
Yeah, those darn Vauxhall colours always get me…I know Bondo has mastered those… :rofl
Looks like a great shop, big and clean/organized.
I worked in a place for a little while that did similar stuff. Wasn’t my favourite work, but it paid well and turnaround was super fast. Most jobs were in and out the same day.
Its very impressive. Love the colour. Have to respect the work put into it
So are you going to buy it Bondo, and use it for firewood?

I know it was a joke. Kind of hard to put it on as peely as some of the OEM jobs…[/quote]
well im sure you dont have to much a problem with that ben:rofl :rofl :rofl[/quote]The roller from Home Depot matches the Chrysler orange peel…and if you get a run, you just run a dry roller over it before it flashes off. You should know Bondo, I learned this from you! :rofl
[quote=”bondomerchant” post=17905][quote=”Ben” post=17903]After looking at the pics more, I can’t figure out how they did the jambs…where they done before or after?[/quote]
i could tell ya 😉 but its fun ta keep ya in the dark with ur drill bits:p :p :p[/quote]My first thought was they were done with at the same time…but I am not sure that the doors were masked to be opened, and if you look in the first pic, it looks like the crack in the jambs is black…

[quote=”Idunnit” post=17874]Yeah I checked on their today and it dont say anything about points requirements it just has training requirements for each role, and different levels for each. I couldnt find out anything on what you needed for gold or platinum points wise.
Thanks
