I'm doing a super low end job with Nason. It's GM 519F if that helps. I hear it likes to wrinkle if pushed at all. Would adding activator help. Any other tips to reduce issues?
 
Nason had an activator for their base coat I used many years ago, but I'm sure any clear activator would work. Never remember having issues, and it sprayed well for a lower line base.
 
I have used it in the past with no problems. It sometimes took a few more coats for complete coverage but it always worked.
Do a sprayout first to ensure good match.
 
This is a 16 year old car. Owner knows the risks. I might get coverage with Nason then hit the edges with my Standox just to try and help match.
 
I would not put Standox on top of Nason! But you can use their straight binder as a blending clear for adjacent panels. Of all the cheap-crap bases I have used, Nason has not given me too much trouble. Sometimes it looks like it has blushed terribly but when it gets cleared, the effect goes away. Always use 5% activator in Ful-Base.

Why not just hit the edges with Standox? There won't be any blending going on here.

I guess I am not sure what you want to do? If Standox is going to end up on top of Nason, just do a test panel first to make sure it's going to work the way you want.
 
This is on a 16 year old Malibu for a 16 year old. Bumper and fender. My thoughts were to get coverage with the Nason then do a fans width, on the edges of the bumper and fender, with the Standox just to try and get a closer butt match without having to use my good base for it all. I told the guy it won't match. He gets it but didn't want his kid to have to drive a car with a blue fender and red bumper.
 
The reason I would not put Standox on top of Nason is that as far as I know, they are two different technologies and the Standox might attack the Nason. Tinting the Nason a little is about the most I would do, if it's a cheap job, you are taking risks and throwing away profit by mixing expensive Standox, jmho.

I was wondering if it was apples and oranges or apples and rotten apples. I won't be tinting anything. As I said, he knows the risks

It isn't. This is openly a Walmart type job. Satisfying the customer not some high moral standard. My question was can I at least try to improve by using good stuff at the bare minimum.
Simply, my kid hit a deer and I want parts near the same shade.

Ha! We'll see! Gotta get bitten sometimes. I'll take my time and not rush it.
