    ok so mix it 2 parts base 1 part reducer? I know when you mix a color it tells you to ad ur50 as the first part of the mix, I was told to leave this out then reduce it 1 part base .75 reducer. Also I have a 1.3 iwata. I am sure I can manage with the needle size. What psi do you all spray at? Also I use ur60 and spray in about 80 degrees.

    cool deal, I am being told to use a wetbed but also, when it comes to getting the metallics to not model on a fully panel paint is there any little tricks to it? I use ur60 reducer and I am told to reduce .75 to 1 rather then 1to1 for coverage?

    see thats just it, that is what I am used to but not with diamont, you have to spray it rather heavy, and it looks modeled but the metallics orientate as it flashes off. That is where I am blinded by blends, I just cant seem to get it to blend without it being modeled. If you spray a light coat over any of it it will model like crazy.

    My reductions are correct, I am getting the hang of how to lay this type of base down, but it seems to be a pain to blend withought cloudiness with the lighter metallics. Should I still mist out and flick my gun and taper it or should I do low pressure and stop without flicking the gun out? Also I am not using any blending beds, is this something that is almost necessary for Diamont?
