I was also recommended to use a Sealer, i am sure that this will help seal off contaminants out as well
Thanks for the comments guys. I suppose if Ryan has the tip laying around, then i can pick it up! Won’t hurt to have =)
Let me know ryan when you get to work.
^^^Fantastic!!
Let me know if you have one and I will glady take it off you.
I am using SPI clear and it does say to use a 1.4 tip, not sure how much it matter, since as you stated, i do the small stuff.
by the way, i forgot to mention, I like the make shift bumper stand for the front bumper!
nice work! Nothing better then a fine looking repair job!
great video bondo!! Thanks for the special help having to do with the clear, i really appreciate it. 😉
Can’t wait for more videos, your so damn entertaining lol. :exci
I went down to my jobber today to look for the water base cleaner, but it wont be in till Monday. Seems like it is pretty popular. In the mean time picked up some cleaning soap (for wetsanding primer), lint free wipes for the wax and greaser remover and an inline filter. (got rid of the snake).
I also picked up some sprayway glass cleaner, we will see how that works out!
I am going to pick some of that up.
So for reference. It is Waterbased cleaner? Or waterbased wax and grease remover. I am going to check out my local jobber today.
Mixing cups are important because anything inside (if paper/wax) can leach onto the clear.
What is the difference between wax and greaser remover opposed to water based cleaner?
I like the idea of using both, but whats the reason behind it?
I think this thing was giving me issues because it has been painted a dozen times( my practice panel) which means it has been wetsanded and buffed alot. I am sure some contaminants from the wax were still on this.
After wetsanding, I do not have the crators that I had before, only a couple spot specs from the issue mentioned above. Looks like panel contamination was the culprit.
Hey Guys,
So I sanded back down and repainted today. Today was sort of a test day so to speak.I followed a new direction with my wax and greaser remover in the sense that I used it correctly. I put it in a spray bottle and I sprayed it on like a river, then wiped it clean. Before I just put a damp amount on a paper towel and wiped clean. I was told that when you put it on wet, it brings the contaminants to the top.
I believe I solved the contamination issue with the W&G-R, however I still had a couple crators in the panel and I think I know what they are from. There are little white specks at the middle of the crators. In the second coat of clear, I saw them. I took a pointy object and i put it to the center of the crator and i was simply able to move the “white dot” off onto my object. Of course it messed the clear up, but when i sprayed over it, it did not crator. This leads me to suspect that I am moving some sort of dust onto the panel that is creating this issue. I didn’t notice it until the second coat because the dust is moving onto the 1st coat of clear, where it gets stuck. It could be that the slight wind blew dust from my stand onto the panel. I believe that it is the clearcoat dust from when it was sanded, which most likely was still on my clothes or stand. I concur because I looked back at my basecoat pictures and saw a couple of these white specks on the panel itself. I remembered that these specs were easy to tack off, however, a few of the nuggets landed in the first coat of clear, thus in the second they created the creator. It must be that since it is not normal trash, that it is causing this problem. Take a look at the pictures from today.
Here are the pictures from today.
[b]To paint the picture, here is where I usually paint. In my front lawn in an open space. I have 50 feet of hose going out to where I paint which you can see in the grass.[/b]

[IMG]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e25/nexson1/IMG_7204.jpg[/IMG]Well, I just cut out 20 feet of hose I did not need. I did an paper towel test in which I held down the air blow gun onto the paper and held it down for 3 minutes. I have very cool air and not one smidge of water or oil on the paper towel. I blew the air on one spot of the paper towel to keep it consistent. Is this a true enough test to cut out air lines as an issue?
I have an extra 25 feet of hose I am going to take out. It is behind the shutters. i always thought the longer the hose, the better, because it cools, but I will take out the 25 feet.
I have used PPG DC 3000 and now using SPI euro clear and same deal.
^^check out my filter in the last picture, don’t mind the indicator, I still have to swap it out. I swapped out the inside with a fresh cartiage. Is that a sufficent trap? The compressor doesn’t run a whole lot and I draibn it and refill it before every job
In an effort to help solve the problem, I have added some more pictures. On the grill, you can see where the spots are sanded. These are the areas with the crators. I sanded with 320 to show the defect.
