All I do is small stuff, and i don’t have a gun washer. I thing it’s the greatest invention since the vagina.
I don’t save paper after sanding a body with it. I do little tiny intricate sanding of things in my line of work quite a bit, and it’s very helpful to have those scraps because I generally I have to tear/cut them off a fresh sheet anyway.
I definitely go for the nicer base coat.
Thanks for the info.
Martin Senour solvent. Honda silver – ‘Heather Mist’ or whatever the crap martha-stewart-sounding name they have for that color.
OK. Thanks
I have read that the LV tip is not well suited to fine metallics. I tried to spray a silver a couple years ago and it sucked, so now that I have to again I figure I need to tool up.
When you say you switch to purple when it fights you, what exactly do you mean?
I always use slow reducer and take my time. I pretty much only paint little stuff, and not very often. No rush for me.
What the crap…. that wasn’t anonymous….
This my question.
thanks again
NotBobNice! :rock
I would kill to have a blaster in town….
No sweat.

I live in the rainforest, on the ocean, in Alaska! I don’t think anyone has more rust to deal with than we do :dnc
Epoxy primer is friendly with almost everything, and is very stable. Blast the bare metal with epoxy, and once it’s dry and sanded you can put darn near anything on it.
^ truth!
Epoxy is the only way to roll. I have epoxy patches on my old project truck, some of them are 2 years old. No rust, and I live in rainforest.
That really does not seem like enough light to me. Not even close. That looks like the amount of light I had, and put it this way: I didn’t have a sun gun…… Had to pull it right back in.
I have made a couple of booths, and only had mediocre results at best. The bottom line is you need WAY more light that you might think, and WAY more airflow than you would probably expect. You’re talking about serious money in parts to make a good booth.
7.5hp is what I run, and I got it for a great deal at $2300. Look carefully that you’re buying a quality unit, and not just being led on by a few bloated specs.
If it’s less than $2K, THROW IT AWAY! :deadhorse
and I don’t give a crap about kittens….
I love my 3m cups. I used Devilbiss bags for a couple years, and they just are nowhere as clean. Good enough for primer and glue, which is what I mainly used them for.
