· How to spray single stage paint.
I get a lot of calls from painters in production shops that never spray single stage paints and a lot of them rarely do all overs except for base coats.
Then they get an allover job and the paint of choice is single stage and the question for me as the painter is in a state of panic how do I spray single stage.
It would shock you the number of calls I get on this subject and really the problem is they don’t understand what single stage is.
Assuming of course and it always is the case it will be a solid color.
My answer is spray just like you would a clear because that is all it is with nothing more than a dispersant agent added and the raw tint.
A perfect example of this is yesterday we had a run on white single stage and had one gallon left, at the same time we were backed up on formulas we were also making so instead of doing a full batch we do have a tote that holds only 75 gallons we use in cases like this and here is what we did to get us by for a week or two.
We dumped in 40 gallons of clear in the tote, added the dispersant and then added the titanium and the entire process took us less than an hour to have packaged and labeled.
Cost efficient? No as wasted 40 cans, tops and labels but it was fast and did not interrupt our production and filling of the 2400 quarts of activators and 300 gallons of a clear we had scheduled yesterday.
Once you explain this to a painter as to how simple this is, it does ease his mind.
Hope this helps someone to understand what SS really is.
