Do you even read tech sheets or do you just wing it?I don’t ever recall a manufacturer suggesting 15psi 😉 The faster you make something dry you will get trade offs.Speed clears all die back,it might not be the next day it could be a week,or 6 months when you see it next its a crap shoot.
Look at it this way when you spray clear at 15 psi you are putting on a heavy wet coat full of solvents,and when you put on another coat where is all that solvent going to go?It will look like leather when its cured and all of the solvents have evaporated.Thin wet coats will dry faster and retain gloss… proven fact.Read a tech sheet.. you can change the dry times by changing hardeners,reducers,adding accelerator etc.What I don’t understand is there are experienced guys who tell you its not an accepted practice and we have all tried it,but you persist,it makes no sense.Nobody is beating you up we are just trying to help you do it the right way.
Sorry still disagree with 15psi :headsmack: solvent pop and dieback will kick you in the balls one day soon.you are relying on your paint to flow as opposed to atomization and spraying it the way you want it to look.Its all about controling the paint not having the paint control you(runs)Our shop ran with one booth and 16 bodymen and painted 10 jobs a day with the old homemade downdraft with no bake cycle,so one job in the booth all day is bs.
Get camfill filters,they work just as good with out spending the huge $$$
Welcome to the site :cheers
15 psi is stupid :headsmack: no shit its going to run.. lets be honest a sagola doesn’t atomize that well :S Why on earth would you use speed clears on collision jobs,short of a cover or jamb?you can use 2021 or at least 3000 on collision jobs there is always a way to speed things up with out sacrificing gloss :deadhorse
Actually a 1.2 is not going to work well with the materials you are spraying,1.3 or 1.4 works better with 2021.If you bump up your pressure,move in tighter and closer and move faster you will not get sags.
NICE!!!! :cheers
Your work looks nice 5L,the booth doesn’t look to shabby,brings back memories :cheers I like the olds convertible and love the color.
Your work looks great :cheers The homemade both looks good to me,I have seen much worse,you should snap some pics so we can see it.Is it heated?
Nice work Mo,your getting pretty quick at those jobs,how are you liking 3.8?
A well experienced tech is always welcome here :cheers
Welcome to the site…. :cheers
The CVI is really not that great of a gun at all,it has a narrow pattern and pretty slow.The tekna is a pretty good gun that is very versatile,I would suggest the 1.4 with lesonal base or clear.The tekna has a nice wide pattern and puts out an adequate amount of material,also sprays metallics/pearls very well.For solvent base I would suggest 22-25psi with wide open settings,clear 25-28psi with wide open setings.The tekna with the 7e7 compliant cap isn’t the best gun for clear but it can definately hold its own,HTH
Looks good mo :rock
