You charge extra for the $30 worth of copper weld thru primer in the rockers? :whistle:[/quote]
Naw, we threw that in for free. the stuff works nice though8 years ago it ran around 5500-6000 for the dry chem in my booth
[quote=”cbhvr6″ post=28890][quote=”smooth” post=28885]The 4000 RP is the most loved one around here. Its a little on the slow side but will lay the smoothest finish.[/quote]
slow compared to what? i thought satas site calls it super speed?[/quote]
Slower than the previous versions of the RP.Nice looking work. thanks for sharing
ya. NY is tough. Do they allow dry chem for the fire suppression. I know one guy was telling me he had to install a sprinkler system. I would see if you can work the guys a bit.
Also with either one of those modified downdrafts, you will not need a basement. Garmat was the first out with that setup with the mechanicals on the roof and the exhaust on the back wall. Its really similar to a semidown draft set up, but I have heard from a few paint reps that they actually work pretty well. See if you can get some references from the booth company to shops that have what you are looking for. then you can check them out and see if it’s what you thought[quote=”lild” post=28789]
but if it helps any, i noticed that when it got colder out, even though i have a heated booth, the static is worse.[/quote]
Thats because the air is drier :p
Stay away from the chinese booths. I dont think they actually have the proper ETL listings. it’ll be a nightmare getting one up to code to pass inspection. I have a Garmat 3000 27′ long. dual skin with 1.5mil BTU air makeup. Mine is also on a raised basement instead of a dug pit. Installed with dry chem fire suppression was just over 55k. they wanted around 4-5 more more the accudraft. things are tight nowadays and you can likely work them some and get a real good deal. The FutureCure is manufactured about 45 minutes away from me. decent quality but still not up to par with garmat/gfs/accuspray and not any cheaper in price either
I looked at Accudraft, GFS and Garmat when i put my booth in. the final choice was between accudraft and garmat. I went with garmat because I always had a woody for their booths. The accudraft was also slightly more expensive and I wasnt fond of the blue color. They are a good booth though and you wont be disapointed if you get one. I know a few shops around me that have them and they have no complaints. Who are you dealing with for the accudraft?
:welc
Ryan had carpeting in his booth at the shop he worked at. He’s mentioned it numerous times over the years. says it works really well
Go with the regular platinum. the plus is a little thin. the platinum builds better and sands easy.
or take the air cap off and try tightening the nozzle a little more. sometimes if they arent cranked down enough they will suck in air
Sprayed dc5335 with a rp3000 and a 1.2 little slow. the 1.3 will be fine
