I just did this color (in ppg) i had the same problem, sprayed 4 cards, 2 bariants of the solvent, & 2 variants of the enviro, neither were a close match not even blendable. I then found a tri coat in our “chose” type of paint options, met or tri.. Which when i looked it up at first it only listed as a 2 coat. Apperantly this is a problem across the brands. Except sikkens :clappy
any i’ve seen the same videos. thought it was cool when they did it. gives a nice semi flat color look.
the last i heard of the stuff is on the bimmer forum, when the guys there wanted to paint the chrome trim, so they could have a fake me out sport version.that’s the problem with one visit clears, and with wb base they can be picky. try useing a slower hardner, or skip the bake cycle.
& we have a hard time keeping dirt out of our shit, when its in the both. Great work man.
Yes it does help. Folow the p sheet on useimg it.
Welcome new guy from scotland.
But its not required, that i know for sure!
After looking it upnthe said matter, it appears ding is correct. Of corse it wasnt in the big or in a side note under of dx57 option part, no its in real small fine print, had tomzoom in 200x to see.c :huh: & i see it was rquired in tri coats. Go figure, 12+ yrs of painting & no one has ever told me, not the rep, jobber, or the training center. So i just got skool’d by the dinger,
:blush:But i was talking about enviro, which has no activator. :unsure: :whistle:

I will tell u that the tri’s that use the prlx pearls will take 4 coats of mid.[/quote]
Why don’t you use BC activator in PPG tricoats?[/quote]
Because its not required its an option. Plus your puting base coat on top of base coat, the mid uses the same binder as the ground coat. I never had a problem with the tri coats. But now i said that…….. 😆 :lol:[/quote]Tech sheet says required on all tricoats (in the ground and mid coat.) 😛
Its required due to the increased film build. makes it a stronger more stable due to it being crosslinked as opposed to a thick layer of uncatylised paint ;)[/quote]i’ll have
E to look thAt up on the computer. On the lil instruction line it gives a pg # to look up on reduceing, never mentions using a dx57. Just to reduce it 1:1[quote=”ryan999″ post=29373][quote=”ding” post=29372][quote=”lild” post=29371][quote=”ScottB” post=29360][quote=”lild” post=29356]We don’t use 9700 black any more, & I don’t add any thing in the tri coats other then reducer.

Dings right. 1:1 I don’t use any additives, unless its fish eye eliminator. 🙂
I agree with jay, over lap about 70% try turning the heat down a lil. If u have mainly a lot of large jobs, leave the heat up & bump up the reducer to dt895. U could always do a half & half of 85 & 95. You’ll need to play with it some, you could also do the same with 70/85. Booths move air differently, so it’s gonna come down to fine tuning every thing by playing around.
Depending on the size I use 8-12 oz.
