You'd be surpised at what temps those 500W twin halogen lights can produce. I use those on a single panel or small parts for epoxy when the weather start to cool off. Using an infared temp gauge, usually the metal stays in the 80 degree range.

I appreciate the info. I will bump my pressure at the wall to 90. When I spray epoxy, I always set it high and use my RTI regulator at the gun (Tekna). My DV1 clear is the C1, I have the C2 but havent tried it. My base gun, its the standard one, it says B. Sounds like we are really close on the...

Thank you. That would be great. The clear gun for me seem to work best at wide open fluid, I turn the fan in just a touch and was at 23psi. Both my guns are the digital version. The base I struggled with. Seemed to be too wet on a good test pattern through the whole pattern or dry in the middle...

Thanks Chris

I finally got the fender painted. We are moving at the speed of smell on this project, lol, but making progress. This was a first type of this repair for me. One thing that I totally screwed up on, was when I put the sealer down, I blew grey epoxy overspray all over my blend area, even using my...

I wanted to update this thread. I finally got the bumper painted. Wasn't too bad. I was happy with the results. I appreciate the help from everyone. I still got alot to learn with my gun setup, but I'm getting better. I'm using the DV1 setup, I like the clear gun, but need more expierence...

Hey Dean, I have received my blocks. I'm very impressed with them. Thank you for all the effort that went into them. It will probably be later in the summer before I get a chance to use them, but I'm looking forward to trying them out. Thanks, Russ

Norton 89034 is what I have been using. I'm amazed at how long these last. They are 3/16 and similar to the 3M ones. I use these for the majority of the grinding and then use the rolocs.

Awesome info. I really appreciate it. I'm going to give it a shot.

So I have the fender on my daughters Mustang repaired and I'm almost ready to final prep for paint, but I have a delima with the black stripe at the bottom. My first thought was to replace it, but they are expensive and it may not match, my next thought was to clear over it, but it's more of a...

I like the 2.0 PPS cups. I have been using them with epoxy so far. I pull the screens out of the lid and use a strainer. Mainly cause I'm waiting a little longer than 30 mins between coats. I have the Dekups too, but like the 3M ones better. Hardest thing for me to remember is to turn the gun...

Thats a super nice space to work in. Nice work.

I have a Tekna Copper gun that I'm thinking of selling. Its been used very little, has the 1.3, and 1.4 fluid tip/needle. Also comes with a new cup. I always used the disposable cups. It seems to be a great gun, I bought a DV1 bassecoat gun, so thats why I'm thinking of selling it, to recover...

Thank you Barry

Probably a stupid question, but if you don't know??? What is the lightest grit scratch that turbo can be put over? So if you have done your epoxy over metal, roughed in the body work to 180, is this a good place to go to the turbo, or should you finish your rough in to 320? Trying to figure out...

I love these old Blazers. They have really sky rocketed in price, and most are really rusty. Looking forward to following the progress Don.

Thank you. Will do

I have only held a Sata in my hand. I haven't used one. The only thing about them that I was unsure about was the piece of metal that stuck out under the trigger. It just felt different in the way I gripped it. I have an lph400 Iwata that I like and a Tekna/Prolite. The Devilbiss fits better in...

I actually had a defective fluid tip cause this on my ProLite. It would flutter when spraying and bubble in the cup. I tore the gun completely down. Like to never found it. I purchased the gun new, and the fluid tip was so tight on the gun, I thought I was going to damage it removing it. I...

So I'm blocking this fender out and its turning out decent. I put down 2 coats of epoxy, the next day, I found my lows, tapped down one high, and put down filler. I roughed it in with 80. Next I put down 2 more coats of epoxy, and I let that sit a few days and blocked it with 180. I did add some...
