That was my first paint job, in my first homemade ghetto paint booth. spraying in the dark corner at knee level, with 18″ from the car to the wall…. yikes. I pulled it out and nearly tossed my cookies
I wish I knew about the poly trick at that time. I just razor bladed them down and got it to work. there was enough build, that’s for sure.
makes sense to me. We’re getting into tint, and I figured while I have the glass out of my truck I could shoot it and call it a day.
regarding the imperfections – you may not know this, but I’m the best painter on the planet :rofl
looks sweet.
let me loan you a broom 😉
I love my lph400, but it’s the only iwata I’ve ever used, and it’s the only nice gun I’ve ever used. I hear the brand makes slow guns, but very smooth.
so you use ABTM for all of your abrasives? bummer. I was hoping you had some awesome local supplier. I guess I’m stuck hunting for the best deals in quantity online. :compsmash
I’ll post what I find. Thanks Bondo
Does anybody know specifically of a good place for Norton stuff online?
seems like the standard warnings, but it sounds like they mean dumping the gun in an ultrasonic cleaner.
I can’t imagine any problems coming from the cap, needle, or nozzle being thoroughly cleaned every now and again with high frequency cleaning vibrating off the really stuck residue.
Bondomerchant – who’s your supplier for abrasives?
do they mean throwing the whole gun in there? that sounds stupid…. I meant taking it all apart, and putting the cap, nozzle, needle in the washer. Is that against their recommendation?
[quote=”lild” post=15316]bubbles, usually does mean backpressure, gun needs cleaning. don’t use the infrsonic cleaners, or at least check the gun recomendations. sata dosent’ want you to use one. i use the pps cups, and use a few squirts of thinner through the gun, but it still needs to be broke down for a good cleaning.[/quote]
what’s the reasoning against infrasonic cleaners on the individual parts? seemed like a great idea to me…
You guys are right about the fluid tip. I thought I was cranking on it pretty good, but when I REALLY cranked on it the bubbles stopped.
thanks fellas

awesome. thanks a lot to all for the advice
I think I’ll pick up one of those 7″ sanders, some 60 and 80 grit paper, and a pack of strip discs. I’ve torn them up before, and I have a pretty good idea what to avoid.
I can get them in bulk pretty cheap. WAY cheaper than walmart, plus I prefer the larger ones.
have you used the stripping wheels? I always thought they were the fastest way to strip, since I never had a sander like this. I see they make the pads for this 7″ grinder, which would take off material a lot faster than the orbital mudhog I’ve been used to.

electric route could work too, but generally I avoid electric tools.
excellent! thanks a lot Ryan
[quote=”MoCoke” post=15472]get a 7″ dewalt angle grinder/samder for the large areas. or, if your compressor is big enough, get a chicago pneumatic angle grinder. just as effective as the dewalt but a lot lighter in weight.[/quote]

this one? sweet, but FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEVEN DOLLARS!!!
I may have to patiently wait for one to pop up on ebay… I have enough air for it.
I’ll search the electric route, but most are combo sander/polishers, and I question their toughness… have you used them?
