Think it was a rhetorical question as he seems to have all the answers :pcorn:
[quote=”gtome” post=30102]Dont bother banning me. I will leave on my own[/quote]
We cant ban you anywayscause certainly you or the guys next door doing a test will convince those who actually have extensive experience spraying both solvent and water in a production environment……… :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl
:ban?[quote=”gtome” post=30092] Fact is, water is slower than solvent.[/quote]
Bold statement from a guy asking the most basic paint related questions. You doing a test would not be accurate at all. Spray water is completely different than spraying solvent. Unless you learn how to properly use the product it is pointless. you really should educate yourself better before making statements about things you know nothing of[quote=”gtome” post=30087]I believe it was AutoAir if I remember right.
And if it drys so fast, why do you need to put air dryers on it? I dont have to do that with solvents.[/quote]
Auto air is a hobby paint for airbrush artists. Nothing at all like automotive waterborne paint. :wak
Got the support all painted up and the engine compartment all back together. Maybe get the used hood stripped and primed and jambed tomm and the one fender repaired.

[quote=”gtome” post=30045]Yes have the alternate decks too. I just didnt have the time to jack with it or do any sprayout cards at the time. I basically started a month behind on work, and have had to just burn these out. On top of that, as you can see, I really dont know what im doing with the collision repair. I was hired in to do the restorations, then the painter quit. So im in there trying to make something of it. Like I have said before, they did hire another guy, and he will likely be doing most of the collision stuff, but the boss man wants me to learn it as well. SO here I am trying to learn how things SHOULD be done before someone else shows me how “they do it”.[/quote]
We are trying to tell you how things should be done, but you argue and choose to do it the way you want anyway. Now is the time to start getting into the habits of doing it right. Even though you are busy, it takes longer to do it over than it does to do it right. If you have alternate decks, there is no reason not to pull them and check the color. It takes 5 minutes to do. It is easier to learn good habits than it is to break bad ones
no doubt chris that it comes in handy at times and you still have to check your color (like you stated). But when you need to call your jobber in for GM black, Something is wrong.
[quote=”gtome” post=30033]We have a mix bank, but when im slammed and cant get the info I need, I simply call and they come shoot a pic. Works out in the long run.[/quote]
This is way too confusing :blink:
so you have a mixing bank. do you have alternate decks at the shop as well ?We are a salvage yard. we get them all from the auction. We dont do too many rebuilds though. however we have been on a roll lately with low milage lesabres
