[quote=”Jayson M” post=22793]Yes it should look perfect,can’t help you if you have the wrong reducer,if it feels like 220 your pressure is too high,and reducer is to fast.[/quote]

[quote=”Jayson M” post=22791]Who told you that??Some solvent bases have excellent metallic control and a drop coat is not needed,others must be drop coated.Read your TDS.You really aren’t using a solvent base coat,you are using a low voc crappy base coat,not even in the same league.[/quote]
yes sansei, last one, am I supposed to look 100 percent uniform after basing? and also, the drop coat made it feel like 220 grit.. but it looks more uniform
[quote=”Jayson M” post=22789]Fix your rough spots,add more reducer,put on a nice medium wet coat,let flash.Make your last coat a drop coat,reduce your psi,increase your gun distance.[/quote]
thank you jason. I thought your not supposed to drop coat solvent? I’ll try what u suggested
I only have medium reducer. and 1.3 super nova. help please
oversizesls hood. a bigger and flatter than the average hood.. better ?
the tech sheet- the tech sheet…. ya ya i hear ya. reminds me of my ol teacher. i agree tho, indeed the tech sheet should be followed close as possible… i was just sharing my results from using 400 couple times.
the times that a reaaally reeeally wish i knew if 320 will cover is when im sanding down mesh style rims with all sorts of curves and cracks with clear peeling off and those grills with hundred verticle lines spaced 1/8 inch apart..
lets see, to save time, extra sand paper not used, reduces dust, improves shop air quality, reduces possible dust in the finish, extends shop filter life, saves elecricity for the da, saves phyical energy, saves your lungs from breating in extra dust….i can go on for quite a bit. i think why not would be the better question
you can get a oversized hood with heavy hail damage perfectly straight using just a d.a.?
[quote=”jim c” post=22121]just sounds like your using way too much compound and the pad is completely loaded with it. the heat eventually burns off the water or lube and it just cakes up. use less. it doesnt have to be a big smeary mess.[/quote
bingo
220 wet? that’s a first
in regaurds to water, light metallics, under certain lighting conditions and angles, and super anal analyzing, I can almost always see something… and yes sprayed and prepped together the same way
not to challenge you. but is that a fact or theory
[quote=”Wydir” post=21865]Im with Mo on this one +1 blue shop towels (cus im cheap)[/quote]
the only problem I have with the cheap blue ones is it’s so damn cheap I don’t even try to conserve them so end up going though the Costco pack in a week.. but the expensive ones I conserve like crazy. oh well
