🙂 I have ventured down that road- its a crappy street. My best guess would be to grab some old color books, or chips if you have them. Find some reds that might have a metallic or pearl in them, see if any of those have the orientation your looking for (metallic or pearl saturation levels). If there is any metallic in your system that looks similiar, add it in your clear (in small amounts, a little metallic goes a long way when being put in the clear) and start spraying let downs like you would a pearl white, find the desired amount of metallics you need in the clear, and spray away. Another solution is if you have a clear base toner on your rack(usually something applied before base after sealer to help color lay well) use it as to add the metallic to, and same thing, spray let downs to achieve correct level of saturation. If using clear, be careful, metallics will want to stripe, if using base with metallic for same reason, be careful because metallics wont look suspended like they do in clear. Hope this helps, good luck!:)
sorry jimmo, didn’t add much relative, but I feel better!:) 🙂 🙂 🙂
jeeps suck period. Haven’t ever sprayed one that looked good without a drooler. too many stupid ass reverse curves. Now I know why factory leaves em dry as fuckB)
flat rate all the way. I can work with my thumb up my ass, do good work going slow, and still make double what the owners in my neck o the woods are willing to pony up(hourly wages).
wlfgnggtr thats an awesome picture you got there!
I love the limco lch4000 for a cheap clear on old cars. 923 109 also works extremely well, but because its preflexed it is remarkably slow, I havent tried the dc5300, have heard only fantastic things, but my tried and true favortie is the glazo 923 255, because its an all around good workhorse clear with fairly desirable characteristics,i.e., buffing, job costing, recoating, speed, gloss retention, ease of usage and so on. Do any of you glazo guys remember the 94 clear? That was my favorite of all time, smooth as a babys derrier and easy to use.B)
no weekends for me. I very rarely even do side work. I live the mode that if I can’t make it between six and five monday thru friday I don’t need to make it. Have done quite well thru my career this way. Besides, with kids and a wife, there are only so many hours where I get to do my thing and working weekends pretty much eats up any of that time.
