you get a lifetime on both. as far is i know deltron or dbc is for the states and dries fast, as putted to me, we’re in too much of a hurry. the global dries a bit slower, and i belive has more colors(toners). i’ve tried their euro clear once and it took twice a long to dry. aqua and enviro are also the same.
[quote=”Ben” post=14495]I filled in for the painter a few weeks ago. I think I did about 80 hours for the week @ 25/hr.
That is much less than our painter…but I don’t paint on a regular basis.[/quote]what you made that much and that’s less then the reg. painter.
excuss me, i need to go to wallymart and get some ky. thanks.tell me about it. they are tryin to pay for less and less now adays. it takes more time and thinner just to get the goo off.
that’s why sometimes we use the trim black. that stuff holds up well.
i’m like you i don’t have the paitance to wait. so i put one of my guys on it, or i just go paint a car.
sometimes i have no choice when the bubbles come up, to cut a small slit into the tape, and carefully push the air out of the openings.like ryan at time i find it best to do it dry.
i start at the top, useing a mud spreader with some tape wraped around the edges. pull some of the backing paper down, press the top down pull the decal tight like when you pin stripe, and slowly press it on with the spreader. if i get a bubble i can pull it back up past the bad spot, and repeat the process.damn, this a lot of work for a 2 min. job.
you know the ones i hate the most are the clear ones that go on a toy. tocoma bedside flare.also i almost forgot to mention. the filter is just like a car oil filter. so you need to put a dab of oil on the o-ring before mounting it on. or it will blow off. and no you won’t have to worry about fisheye’s, oil on the o-ring not on the threads.
[quote=”timbo” post=14441]move the filters down to the end of the hardline.
put fall away from the filters and tee in 2 or 3 traps in the hardline.
might want to add this…
I have this stand alone with a gun filter….very humid here and never get fisheyes. :woohoo:
order over 100 bucks and get free shipping..[/quote]dude we got these in our body shop, and in the old paint booth. i’ll help you out with the filters. we used rolls of toliet paper. can’t remember if it was the double rolls or reg.
really we did use rolls of tp.to the op. our filters are at the end of the airlines, located next to out booth. we have this filter on our system, and depending on how much you use, you can get 3 different sizes. i change it out once every 6 months. it really works well. i know you can get the kit at carquest, but i will post a different link just so you can see what it looks like. the price in the link is about the same at carquest.
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WIX-ACK20/you can try a 50/50 water and alchol with a few drops of soap in it. the alcohol helps the water dry out.
but we have the same problem as you. some go on better dry, some wet. and some we have to buy new again.
sometimes, we make ours, by useing sem’s trim black. it’s a nice oem look. as for the edge’s i find it best to wait for the decal to dry completely, then i use my fingers and press and wrap. no water, it’s easier when the edge’s are dry.
i’m at 25 a week.
i think your first one is too close to the tank. the air hasn’t had to redo it’s thing.
we painted a glass once. we da’ed it with 80, then shot non sanding expoy on it, more like a wet on wet.
that looks good.
which sucks.
you will also fine that bumper covers will match now.

[quote]thanks for the input lild. We have the Garmat fans on the ceiling of the booths right now. We had them installed a few months ago and we have been using them for our solvent and they do move a lot of air so I will have to do a little experimenting with everything when we get switched over. On the part of keeping your gun clean is there a special cleaner you can use (other than the cleaner you would use to clean your gun out after painting) maybe as a cleaner to use once a week to really clean your gun out? After hearing everyone’s response on the sealer, I’m going to seal everything!!! The guys I work with won’t seal primer unless the HAVE to so we will get to see how it goes both ways. Can’t wait to keep everyone updated on the change!!!! One month and counting!!! P.S. just sent in my paper work for the PPG certification[/quote]
those ceiling fans i heard are nice, and the reps. that i trained with really liked them. they told me that with those the paint can dry in as little as 3 mins..
a lillte warning the control coat will wear you out, so do some cardio work outs. 😛
since you got to go for thr traing ask them about the epa area source rule, and see if they wiil include that in the traing. ppg just held a course here and now i have that part out of the way and i have the epa certfication now. might of as well kill two birds with one stone.i have a specail pre spray that i spray though the gun, amonia mixed with sx1005, and then run it through my special wb gun cleaner. the machine we have can recyle the water cleaner 10x over before haveing to replace the water. also they will recommend and you should use the 3m pps wb cups you can’t use the regular ones.(keep away from the cheap brands, i’ve used the carbo ones and they caused a lot of trash even though they were the wb ones). also i too highly recomend you break the gun down every 2 days. belive me once a week isn’t enough. also like sugessted use a thinner bottle and run some through it too.
i’ve always had good luck with a high end slow drying clear. like ppg’s dcu 2002. it flows out nice, and barely leaves any orange peel.
plus i can mix it 4:1:1.5 for a better flow.
