USING SPI EURO 2020 5000 FOR COLLISION REPAIR

Now that I think about it, every time I use SPI products it makes me want to use some more. Maybe he's lacing them with something to make us reorder. He is a chemist, you know. Oh, and JC, you're doing exactly what it takes to master a craft. Always do your best and learn from your mistakes. "The man who knows everything can learn nothing"

Another thing that boggled me , I let him use my Iwata LPH 400 to spray clear and he said that his Sharpe titanium sprays as good or better. I let him spray clear with my Sata 5000b rp and he said he would stick to his Devilbiss finish line for clear? Am I missing some fine spray guns or is he partial to his tools?
 
See quote above. Here's another one. "Some people try to get better, others just try to get by". I would jump at the chance to use a top of the line gun if in his shoes just to see the difference. You can get away with a low quality gun with low quality clear (low solids), but if he used his gun with SPI clear he would hate it and say it was junk, guaranteed.

He only used the O'reilly auto parts production clear, Also he said all Euro clear is the same and is only repackaged under different company names. I told my wife that he don't want any advice from me because I have not painted all my life and he has painted for 40 years. I could beat this old mule for quite a while but it won't accomplish what it should.
 
Some people just can't be helped & ran into those sort of people when I was younger. Could install a product upside down with one side 1/4" off & somehow it was my company's products fault cuz he'd been doin it all his life & was a Christian. That's when you have to be the bigger Christian & turn the other cheek,,,& walk away.
Sometimes when told bad advise, just go with your gut & get your facts elsewhere & call it a day.
 
The opposite of this is some guys are hung up on the big label names and the giant prices. "Can't be good at those prices"!
And some just don't like to change, or take the time to adjust to something different. Different strokes for different folks.

Some of these guys are just so hard headed....Just because he's been doing it 40 years doesn't mean he has been doing it correctly for 40 years. I have an cousin in-law that's around 70ish. Has a shop and turns out some really average to below average stuff. He had a heart attach and I was asked to finish a truck he was doing. This thing was full of acrylic spot putty, I mean tubes and tubes of it like using bondo. I fought and fought with the primer he had on there. I asked him what it was and he said "It don't matter, it's just primer and they all do the same thing". Finally got out of him it was Rustoleum from the local hardware store....I sprayed my first car in 1984 and I worked hard to stay with the quality materials, tools and trends. Anyway, sometimes you can't teach old dogs new tricks. I just smile and pass my advice along and move on. Let them do what they want. When I do it, it's my way or the highway. I've got to stand beind it. That truck in the upper part of this comment. It got stripped to bare metal and SPI epoxy and started over.

Well, at least your cousin-in-law wasn't hung up on the big label names and high prices... ;) (although the Rustoleum primer is over $50 a gallon!)

LOL!!!
We did run put of jelly beans for about three days but try to add to every order however, we get rushing and slip up.
I already screwed up one order today but caught it and let Logan fix it. my first mistake this year. LOL

Moral of story is when we get slammed, like today, Brian said go play we will handle this.

My wife asked if the jelly beans were like edible sprayouts. I think she's onto something.
 
I love the steaks but I have yet to find one at the bottom of the peanuts, Seems to me that peanuts are more popular!
 
We will take the pot into consideration, we are trying to make you all healthy with the carbs, peanuts and protein in the steaks.
All Doc's say eat a hand full of peanuts a day, so we will look for doctors advice as to using pot ???!!!????

I think it's well known that some of the best paint jobs come from someone that's a little loose.
