it could be the sand scratches comeing back through. if you can clean one of them off, try sanding over the 800 with 1000. and then reclear them.
were useing 2021,2002,dc3000,dc4000 clears at my shop depending on the job. however i wouldn’t use 2042, we stop using it because of clear darkening, as a matter of fact our ppg rep. told us to stop useing it.
i’m really starting to get the hang of the envirobase, i’ve found that the new sealer for the envior is alot better than the old stuff. but you will need to seal just about every thing. for some rason enviro takes a few more coats to cover over primer.
i also know that they will tell you to sand everything with 600-1000 grit, but i know you can paint over 400 p-grade grit, as long as you use a da. hand sanding, there is no way.
and if they give you those stupid blowers tell them no thanks. those things seem to put more trash into the paint, then help. i’ve found if your filters are clean and air flow is good, it will dry on it’s own in 5 mins.. unless your owner is willing to put some coin up for corner fans.
one small tip. make sure it is dry before tacking it off, it will pull the fibers out of the blue tack rags they want you to use, and make the clear look trashy. also keep the guns clean as possible, when they say it will stick to anything, they are not lieing. my shoes look 2 yrs old, i got them 6 mounths ago, and my gun looks like it’s 10 yrs. old.
great job, nice polish up job too.
um, what kind of car is that?there actually is a compy here that sells the aftermarket m5 cover complete with fog lights and bumper trim for 280 shiped.
honestly, a aftermarket cover wouldn’t be all that bad on a 5 series, and most likely a faster to paint a new one then dealing with rock chip repair.
i love to know if we can get it here in the states as well. if it works as well as it say, i call it job security. hell i’d pay out of my own pocket for it.
i love repairing their bumper covers on a daily basis.
to the op. you can use the heat light in between coats too. just keep it back 3-4 feet.
agree, it is good on all levels and far better than solvent base. however in my experince with it, how ever they tell you to sray it, do it that way, there isn’t any short cuts yet.
also invest in a sun gun if you don’t have one already. i also haven’t had any luck with it covering prime well, so sealing everthing is just about a must.
yellow matchs are excellent, and solid reds cover in 2-3 coats. however red mets. are tricky.[b]Han wrote:[/b]
[quote][quote]The lizards have their place in the market cuz I’m sure not painting any panels or bumpers for $75.[/quote]Agreed. Just as much as PDR.[/quote]i used to think the same thing about pdr. but then realize that we make some coin off that deal too. plus i can’t complain about pdr too much, they do, do help out in a pinch. like when i, er…. some one backs a van into a truck.
i would put the heat to it right after spraying. paint can be funny with dry times. if you let it sit 20 mins. to air dry, should of left it alone.
here one county, already banned them. supposely, they could of gotten away with 3 oz. cups, to spray with. but the county said that the lizzards couldn’t keep the waste form the run off, leagel stuff, blah, blah, blah.
but i’m all for it.[b]ryanbrown999 wrote:[/b]

the dbc5oo is mixed 1:1 with what ever temp. reducer you use. it’s basically a clear basecoat. so you spray it like base. put it on as the first coat, it helps keep mets. from standing up in the scratches. you can also use it on pearls too. we sometimes us it as a cut clear on the underside of hoods and fenders.
840 is a blender for melting in fresh clear. when i’m ready to blend clear, i leave some clear in the gun, ad some 840, like a 1:1 ratio, and stir it up, and melt in the clear, and then dump that out. and pour some straight 840 in, pull the trigger get some to come out, and blow some over the melted clear i just did, overlaping some. you’ll have to play with it some.
sweet lookin ride. but one thing some one forgot to put some stripes down the front of the newer one.
detials, details.my guess is that your clear isn’t dry enough.
