is the body guy mixing the filler and poly together to try and skip a second step of applying a glaze over the repair? perhaps changing the filler brand to a more premium resin might help. i recently began using platinum plus filler and not only do i no longer need to cut with anything below 80 grit, i can actually finish with 180 and higher without the need for polyester glaze.
USC Morton 40 glamour clear :cheer:
looks like it hit wood for sure, its mouth is stuck wide open :lol1
youll need to flatten your clear with maybe 500 grit before u reclear. 10 mins between clear coats is fine for that clear but fast hardner on a complete is a big no no. next time, keep your hand moving and use consistent even passes and youll have no runs
yes, i use solvent debeer in Jersey. but about it being the sister company of valspar think of it as the time when mercedes benz was paired with chrysler 😡
maybe its just me but 95% of the time i can never locate the paint code for vw’s or audi’s.
looks good. will you be spraying the entire car of just the top? i once got a job like this that i told the customer to go get a vinyl top installed on it to cover it instead :whistle:
well i only use it in solvent on everything thats not fleet and the hs clear on a few vehicles. in my opinion its the best paint system ive used and the least expensive. another member here uses it in water and has great things to say about it too
just a tip that i recently discovered is that 3m’s purple paper makes blocking primer so much easier. dont forget to use a guide coat and i like jaysons idea of priming twice.
i havent seen it as many times on GM’s as i have on Fords. i sometimes get a ford code that simply doesnt exist.
hey welcome, have you tried viewing any of the dupont vids on you tube? they might answer some of your questions. here’s a link to one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PrU5yFt6uE
yea the better solution is to buy a new finish panel
[quote=”Matrix Paint Systems” post=21370][quote=”smooth” post=21355]3 to 4 coats of paint? wow.. im glad ppg has improved that wit their sprectral gray sealers in their nexa auto color line. i cant imagine having to use 3 to 4 coats of base coat. looks real nice tho bud![/quote]
I would say at least 3 coats would be standard on any red. Are you using a system other than water that covers in less?[/quote]
exactly, and it really depends on the color of your sealer or undercoat.

surprised no one suggested a case of filler and a mudhog? wouldnt hurt to brush up on your plastic shaping skills :lol1
since u dont care about the old finish, a floor scraper with a new blade works best. no chemicals, heat or eraser wheel needed
