Contact your ppg 1-800 tech line and ask about Standard operating procedures for refinishing new bumpers.They can probably point you in the right direction for literature to prove it.Basic operations like this are covered in a certification course.
Ok a new bumper primed or bare plastic MUST be sealed,pretty sure that was mentioned before.How long have you worked with the old guy a couple of months?It can take awhile before comebacks start,sometimes up to a a year :whistle:
[quote=”gtome” post=31528] But since Im spraying with a Sagola, I guess I may as well since its such a joke of a gun! :rofl[/quote]
Now your learning 😉All you need to know is zerorust,picklex,base right over 320-400,I mean if it works on quarter million restos it should work on collision :rofl
Lots of people have tried to help you,but you never seem to listen,or argue and do what you want anyway,just sayin :whistle:
Utech 4.0 works better with a 1.4,its not really a HS clear.Your 1.3 is overatomizing the material.Secondly Mix it 4parts clear and 1 part hardener just like your supposed to.For a good sized bumper you will use a potful or just a touch over,it doesn’t go as far as other HS clears.
Awesome job Nick :cheers Beautiful prep and installation 😉
Norton plastic works awesome,and you get more on the roll than carbo for the same money 😉
You know I went back and gave that stuff another try after you reccomended it.It really wasn’t too bad but would become very brittle after a bake cycle and would splinter when trying to unmask.If the bodymen mask and prime it would work great out in the shop for priming duties.The carbo new and improved premium tan made in usa tape(not the american co branded tape) seems to work pretty good as does the american blue as long as you unmask it right away.
I have done it both ways and honestly can’t tell a difference,I can get a consistent clean job either way :stoned
I like icar for proper structural and sectioning procedures that follow oem standards,how many of us have seen sub standard repairs over the years?Lets face it there are many techs who do things in a shop that don’t know how to do it properly,or they just don’t know better or “I have been doing this for years and never had a problem”
[quote=”lild” post=31339] Apperantly this is a problem across the brands. Except sikkens :clappy[/quote]
:stoned :stoned
sadly yes :stoned
Word of caution,don’t use the sem color horizons.We did a truck for one of the young guys at work with a red sem candy(shovelhead red?) and within 2 years it faded and turned pink and we had to redo it.
standard variant was base clear,been about 6-8 months since I had to spray it.I will look again whe I go back to work,but I don’t recall a 3 stage field variant,we were not on the new software at that time either.
