Looking good Jeremy, I like your shop :rock
Looking good Ben, its nice to see they are keeping you busy! Atleast you don’t have to be f’in with the AWX.
[quote=”Ben” post=33987]I wonder if Smooth can recommend a fast Nexa clear. I’m familiar with the PPG branded low voc clears, but appearantly the Nexa ones are much nicer. The clear coat is the weak link in the PPG low voc system, in my opinion.
As far as saying there are no low VOC clear as fast and nice looking as the DC2000, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised if you get a chance to try some.[/quote]
P-190-6659 is the Express clear and p-190-6690 is the slower glamour clear great for completes, im not 100% sure of the of the number on the speed clear in the US but here it is p-190-6800. They are all great clears and hold an unbelievable gloss but yes they are very pricey.
C’mon man, you just need to learn how to use the stuff, its not uncommon for guys that are used to solvent to complain about the switch to waterborne, there are still guys in my area that are doing the same, if you would give it an honest chance and learn how to use it properly you would understand that the stuff is amazing (been using Aquabase everyday for 4 years) I consider color match to be probably the best attribute to any paint system ,and this is probably the best system out there for color match. I usually tend to seal just about everything if I don’t just finish the 2k primer surfacer in 600 grit, no biggie. Again like Jay mentioned stick to everything in the system and you will not go astray. Get to know how to use the system first before you bash it, I personally can answer just about any question you have (Certified Aquabase user) so don’t be shy!
[quote=”Snipe Hunter” post=33964]Stumbled on Refinish Network on YouTube and I’ve been looking for a decent “all encompassing” forum. Been shooting RM/Diamont for years.. Maryland just switched to Low VOC and I went with PPG Aquabase waterborne. Great color matches but everything else kinda blows. Hoping to learn a few things here.[/quote]
Please explain how “everything else kinda blows”…
Very nice job Nick!
:welc
Is it possible to see some pics?
[quote=”bondomerchant” post=33816]thanks alot guys my boy rob is pretty jacked about the whole deal to be honest if we ever do go ta water its probably going ta be with these guys anyway they really went out of there way with rob getting him set up on the computer an stuff…ta be honest i dont even know if i could mix anything myself :blush: with this new set up the geardrive bench sounds so quiet it almost spooky we got new hats shirts an some cool ditzler sweat shirts 2 :cheers also a shitload of really cool posters some ya can see in the pics an theres 3 i am going ta frame of the same artist but west coast ones…next week there bring me some signage for the shop we even got a label printer an there making noises about getting rob some different scales that hook ta the puter???? all an all this has been a fun year for us i wanna thank all you guys on the site for all the support you all have given me this last few years it has meant alot to me….BONDO ;)[/quote]
I think you guys made a good decision with going with PPG, we have been using PPG water for 4 years now and cant say enough good things about it, the system is amazing and the help and support is great.That looks like Paint Manager software you have on the computer, yes it can be hooked up to the scale so you can mix off the screen, if you do make the jump into water I think you guys are the right track, best of luck to you guys.
Looks great guys, im surprised you didn’t make the jump to waterborne , I bet Rob would really like it, and is that RN on the computer screen?
Ya that’s what I said 3 years ago 😆 :spraywelc:
Looks very nice Jay, is that a Tim Hortons coffee cup? I love that stuff :cheers
Looks very nice Jay.
Try bumping the tip size up to a 1.3 or like ryan said try slowing down the solvents ( hardener/activator,thinner selection) personally I would try both.
[quote=”ryan999″ post=33752][quote=”smooth” post=33751]The 1.2 is the problem, what size tip does the material your using call for?[/quote]
Not necessarily. What product are you spraying with it?
If it is clear maybe try turning the psi down a bit or slowing the solvents down in the paint.
For sealer Smooth is right a 1.2 is too small.
For base it depends on water or solvent and conditions.[/quote]
Thought I asked him what material he was using, in another thread I thought he said it was for clear.
