Gun adjustment

[metalman]

"wet wet" is sprayed with 100psi at the gun, I am thinking of ganging two compressors together and using 250psi for UV clear. I am surprised 250psi isn't recommended in the TDS. I assume with 250psi, UV clear will be self sanding and buffing like "wet wet"?


p.s. Just kidding......

THAT (/\) is the video I want to watch. LOL. Lot of stuff on You Tube, some good, some bad.

I've watched his videos before and he not only gets trash it looks like someone threw a shovel full of floor dirt on them and his runs are gigantic. The area he uses for painting are the worst I have ever seen, I wonder if he does it in those conditions on purpose.

This is one in particular I watched by this guy and was dumbfounded about his explanation as to why not use a hard block for sanding the heads on that huge run on Snoop Doggs car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaliKpOAUCI

Youtube is full of c$%p. There's also Norton abrasives "best practices". This guy block sands his filler, just to finish it off with a glazing putty sanded with a DA. If it's going to be finished with a DA, might aswell not even use a block from the start....

And no mention of or wearing a mask for personal protection when sanding or blowing the filler.

At the beginning of the vid it doeds state that safety equipment should be used.

Holy cow, it's been a long time since I ran clear that bad! That's "Wet-Wet," all right...

At the start it says no buffing required and then he says hes buffing? Bad advertising in my opinon.

 

[chevy_power427]

Maybe he just needs to sand the runs and it comes back shiny when the car is wet wet....

What's good at least, is that those drips didn't have solvent popping. There's a PPG clear we had at the dealership, whenever there was a drip, it was milky white and had bubbles in it.
