The main problem I see using a LPH80 might be getting enough build to be able to flat and polish it. You can make it work but i would allow for an extra coat or two. To be honest I have never tried to spray a job that size with a mini gun.
I agree with Andy on all things. Those handles are a real PITA. Taking them out isn’t bad, it’s putting them back in. It would be a nicer job with them out though.
I would want a full size gun for that job.
I would definitely use a black primer if possible or use a black groundcoat under that color. That isn’t the best covering color over a medium gray primer. It covers very quick over black.
I have heard great things about the Jun-Air booths, how do you like them?
Hell of a job man, that was a really cool thing to do! :cheers
Is that a Jun-Air booth??

Good point Ben, some epoxy’s wont go over aluminum without a pretreatment first.

Is this bike something that will have a high likelihood to be scratched?[/quote]
He need not worry about that as he isn’t using sikkens paint :p[/quote]
Says the guy using PPG. :rofl :cheers
Either is a good option. Whatever one you have more readily available would be the one I would choose. You are correct on the no base over etch so one would require an extra small quick step.

[quote=”Andy T” post=25350]I like SATA.
There we are, I’ve come out of the closet and said it 😛 😆
I haven’t demo’d the 4000 yet, but I used a 2000hvlp for years as a base gun, and I’ve used both of the 3000’s. I found the 3000 RP to be a great gun, but very fast, even for me. I would like to get a demo of the 4000 RP as I’ve heard good things about it, but I still have my life long issue with SATA – that silly fan control on the side. What purpose it serves I don’t know, as once my fan is set I leave it be. And if you did want to use it to quickly narrow the fan down you’d still have to wind the material knob and air down to suit, so what’s the point? :unsure:
I know I’m in the minority, but being a leftie as soon as I pick up any SATA I immediately catch the fan control with my index finger and turn it down to spot. Not ideal!
Anyway, after my meaningless rant :blush: it’s really hard to say which gun is “The Best” as a gun that suits one person may not suit the next perfectly. Some may say a Ferrari is the best car on the road, but they don’t make one that I can throw my compressor into the back of, so they’re no good to me ;)[/quote]
Well thats an easy fix Andy, just start spraying with your right hand! :p :cheers
[quote=”chumpi” post=25016]I was checking the prices on the Prevost, way out of my league, they go from $17.00 to $25.00 a peice.[/quote]
How much do the cheap ones cost? If you can buy a Prevost and it lasts 5 years vs $5-6 for a cheap one and it lasts 6 months are you really saving? I have used Prevost fittings for over 6 years here and have yet to replace one. They get dropped after every use too.
Cool vid, but you lost me once you started playing Nickelback, seriously man? :sick:
:cheers
Look for Prevost fittings. They will be blue with a green button. They work great and last forever.
You know Ding, I would have never figured you had an issue with not getting enough peel :p
:cheers :cheers
[quote=”Wydir” post=24845]Well….. Ryan , You forgot about the Elevation and Temperature deviations. And my sheets use a Ford Cup not a Zhan. But my sheets maybe older than yours :chair[/quote]
All elevation and temp variables are accounted for by viscosity. The reason they use a Zahn cup is they are more accurate the a #4 Ford cup
What Ding said is correct.
Don’t let the nay sayers here get you down, we will get your Supernova dialed in in no time and you will be painting sheets of glass that will not need a buffer.
have you copied down the instructions, as I need to take them down, I have been getting alot of PM’s threatening me to remove them.
I will let you in a a secret that I probably shouldn’t and may get flamed for doing. There is a special set of setup instructions you get with guns after getting certified from a painters school. For s 1.3 Supernova you start with the fan knob all the way out and close it in until you reach a fan size of 10.75 inches from a gun distance of 5.875 inches. Once your fan is set you run the material knob in all the way and then back it out 2.5 turns. Once there you have to figure out the viscosity and solids of the clear your spraying. If the solid content in below 40 you turn it out another 2.2 turns. between 40-46.75 turn it out 1.73 turns. between 46.76 and 54.25 turn it out 1.22 turns. between 54.26 and 58.62 keep it the same and from 58.63 and up turn it in .375 turns.
Once there run your psi to 18.5 and keep at a distance of 5.5 to 5.6 inches from the surface with a 73.65% overlap and a 1.3 ft/second speed of stroke. Now if the viscosity is between 17-22 sec with a #2 Zahn cup you will bump the psi up 2.2 and x0.985 to all of the material adjustments while leaving the fan the same.
I will only leave these instructions up for so long and I will delete them as I don’t want to catch to much crap for posting them without you ever attending said schools. Kind of a trade secret. 😉
