Hey guys, here’s a motor cross engine I didn’t late last nite, I went for a satin silver finished. Quite pleased with the result
I definally think its best, to keep your solids, metallics and clears separate in different a guns ;), I got called into a shop to help out and omg I couldn’t believe the state of his guns and how they whereby cleaned after use. After I finished fixing his job I stripped, cleaned and reset all his guns to get him back on track. I don’t understand why people don’t clean and look after there guns
I don’t know if its only me that does it but, I’ve got for different clear guns with different set ups. Due to doing all different vechiles for insurance work, know I can’t say which better or worse as I don’t know what finish your trying to get. Is it for your every day car or custom builds etc. I have to match my clear fresh paint work with the clear finish that’s on the car. Over the years you seem to pick up which guns are best for the finish you need. Know I now painters that use the same gun every day but are always playing round to get the pressure rite etc to try and match the car. I ways think if you can match the car so you can’t see the difference in the clear coat between the old and new it’s turned out gd ha ha
[quote=”Xchaser” post=28853]Hi there Rikka did your prolite come with any other nozzles and aircaps?[/quote]
Hey mate. No you only set the set up on the gun, no extras or hard case. When you buy it you choose the set up and the stamps you want ie : for clear or baseHey welcome to the site, don’t be afraid to ask anything your not sure of. As there’s pretty of guys here which can help :rock
Hey I’ve just got a devilbiss gti prolite with a 1.3 te10 for solvent and clear coat and mate its awesome great money well spent. Easy to use, nice and lite plus no effort needs to spray with 😉
Here’s a bike frame I’m doing for Xmas for a young lad which has ad a hard time so I’m doing this as a surprise for Xmas. He has no idea bout it an when I got asked to do it I couldn’t turn it down, I was so over whelmed bout it I said ill do it for free as a gift
Ill put a pic up after I’ve polished it in my lunch hour 🙂
:welc mate from guernsey lads 🙂 ha ha
Hey mate I understand where your coming from as I’ve had this problem with different products,
First with the clear coat, which kind is it as for example you cans get medium solid which is great for your everyday car, then there high solid for great gloss, scratch resistance, slow solids for smart repairs.Fit the polishing I never polish the same day as I find its to fresh and the next day you can see where you’ve polish. I’ve learnt from the past the clear can stay soft due to…
To much material and not fully coured
Not baked for long enough or at the right temp
Try and out the clear tins in the corner of the booth to warm up and help get a better flow
Also having the right speed harder for the clearThese thing help me to get the clear just rite to match the style of job your trying to get, hope it helps
I have noticed that when I’ve used a wet on wet or sealer then based and cleared it does leave a dryer finish, so when I do use it I do an extra half drop coat of clear
Also thinking bout it is the guy using the right, compound, the right speeds and coupons heads, as there’s so many different kinds. If your using the a compound try to use the same make for the machine heads, some of them are to harder for some makes of clear
Thanks, I’m lucky to go and visit the owners work shop to see how the three builds are coming on a d get some pics. So ill post them to show you guys . Also ave the chance to put the stickers on for him ha ha lucky I got my new glasses which will help, hopefully ill get them where he wants them :clappy
Also a bike Shane as well, I’ve still got al the panels to do aswel it’s nothing special as its a race bike but the money will help for Christmas 😉
