Seal all new parts. refer to your TDS sheets for your paint system. Basing directly over e-coat just plain amounts to hackery
RP is the best gun out there for speed.
too much meat for me. i’m more of a seafood and pie kinda guy :p
really doesnt look too bad in the photos. maybe they just did a bad buff job on it.
freakin sheep shaggers :whistle:
Just think. With Aerosol cans you would get any contamination :p

:blink:
a 600 grit scratch is a 600 grit scratch whether it is horizontal, vertical, diagonal, zig zag, round and round up and down. If you are having trouble with the silver laying down differently then you are sanding too course or too inconsistently. it also helps to lay down a coat of clear base first that the color has a fresh layer to lay down inot instead of dry scratches.To the original poster. in metallics the flake will lay down into the scratches. If you prep too course you will see the scratches due to the way the metallics are laying down in them. they are not settling on the surface evenly so they are reflecting at diff angles. that is why 600 is the minimum for prepping on a metallic color. you can get away with 400 if you are going to use a sealer. As far as the primer goes. Just remember, your paint job is only as strong as the weakest. Lacquer is an air dried product that constantly moves with the temperature and environment. As far as recommending a specific primer, i’ll just say pick a system and stay with it. BASF or Akzo would be my first choices. Then probably PPG. if you want to go with a Dupont product I would venture toward their Spies or Standox line over the actual dupont line of stuff.
Uploading photos is easy with a photobucket account. you can also upload them directly to the site. think there is a post on how to do that somewhere, but photobucket is so easy it doesnt pay to do it anyother way
first thing you need to do is get rid of the spray can primer. after that, what kinda paint can you get in your area. most major brands have a good 2k primer. Also for silver you will want to finish with at least 600 grit.
if you set up a tent in the back yard, just run your airhose out there :blink:
never sell your tools. it sucks not having something that one time you need it.
they are big on turbines over at the 101 :p
not sure if mobile repair and side business go hand in hand. you kinda have to work around other peoples schedules
