[quote=”ding” post=24812]I am using a Sata 3000rp. No matter what I do the paint always comes out too flat. I have tried a 1.2 tip and a 1.4 tip. I have a 1.3 tip on the way. I dont know what I am doing wrong, but every car I paint turns out looking like an austin martin. This is just completely unacceptable to me, especially when I am trying to paint a Cadillac. I have spent almost $1000 between the gun and the nozzles. Is there any special way to set this up so I get that that grapefruit type texture I am trying to match, or should I just suck it up and buy an iwata :blush:[/quote]
You should just get rid of the RP..as a matter of fact I will take that lump off yer hands and trade you my Iwata straight across… 😛
[quote=”ryanbrown999″ post=24804]I will let you in a a secret that I probably shouldn’t and may get flamed for doing. There is a special set of setup instructions you get with guns after getting certified from a painters school. For s 1.3 Supernova you start with the fan knob all the way out and close it in until you reach a fan size of 10.75 inches from a gun distance of 5.875 inches. Once your fan is set you run the material knob in all the way and then back it out 2.5 turns. Once there you have to figure out the viscosity and solids of the clear your spraying. If the solid content in below 40 you turn it out another 2.2 turns. between 40-46.75 turn it out 1.73 turns. between 46.76 and 54.25 turn it out 1.22 turns. between 54.26 and 58.62 keep it the same and from 58.63 and up turn it in .375 turns.
Once there run your psi to 18.5 and keep at a distance of 5.5 to 5.6 inches from the surface with a 73.65% overlap and a 1.3 ft/second speed of stroke. Now if the viscosity is between 17-22 sec with a #2 Zahn cup you will bump the psi up 2.2 and x0.985 to all of the material adjustments while leaving the fan the same.
I will only leave these instructions up for so long and I will delete them as I don’t want to catch to much crap for posting them without you ever attending said schools. Kind of a trade secret. ;)[/quote]
Jesus don’t take those down too quick..I’m a slow writer…:)

I was trying both RPS and PPS cups, I threw a PPS liner..and cup… into the garbage, :chair didn’t realize it until after garbage day. :stoned
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all! :cheers

[quote=”ding” post=24033][quote=”bondomerchant” post=24026]for crying out loud ya goobers were talkin a complete here???/ :blink: repair it seal the bitch base it an clear it an ya theres finer grits if it make ya feel good go 400 grit but ive never had 320 bite me unless i wasnt sealing jeez :wak :wak :wak[/quote]
then when your done sand it with 1200 and buff with superduty on a black foam pad. then slather the bitch with some zymol :wak :wak[/quote]Don’t forget, you must be wearing your ‘secret decoder ring’ in order to determine if it’s ready for the zymol. :whistle: :cheers
Lots of talent on this forum, I’d listen up if I was you. As Jimmo mentioned, he has some excellent videos to watch to give you an idea how to get started. If you want to ignore it all and use the Haynes manual…go for it.
Awesome…does that same theory apply to that secret high end Harley paint? :teach :clappy
Very nice, hopefully it stays that way for all to enjoy!
Nice work Jackass lol… I liked the ‘flat rate and 80’s montage :). :cheers
