Solid advice as ever trigger. It take years for painters to develop their technique. I was recently asked to use some cheaper clear on a commercial vehicle. I added my usual reducer and it hit the floor. I later added just 5% less reducer and it WOULD NOT flow out. I later found out my boss had purchased 5 x 5 gallon kits on the cheap. On top of all that it was responsible for turning whites and silvers a yellower shade. It has been a nightmare.☠💀👻💩 Like you say, "Poor material create work". Great work with the channel.👋 Spray on brother 🤜🤛

Nice work. I understand the cheap paint issues. Metallics, not all but especially the cheap metallics are somewhat transparent and don’t cover well in one or two coats. I have sprayed a lot of cheap paint over the years. Sometimes the metallic paints were so cheap I had to spray a silver pre-base coat or a pre-color coat before the metallic base coat. The paint was so cheap I don’t know if six coats would cover without seeing through the paint. You are correct, there are good reasonably priced quality paints out there that lay out and cover well that would aid big time for a beginner. Most beginners buy the cheapest paint they can find thinking they actually should (incase the paint job turns out bad, they didn’t invest a lot in it). They have no idea that they about guaranteed themselves the paint job would turn in to a disaster. They then live with the crappy paint job or they have to sand their lives away and shoot the car again. There is a utuber that sprayed I think it was a Plymouth Satellite three times and it came out terrible all three times. He gave up and drives it that way blaming himself when he didn’t change up anything and pretty much never learned anything. Some things he did correctly and some things he did made me cringe, so besides spraying unknown paint he didn’t know how to set up his gun or how to keep a wet edge and it is unknown what quality of gun he was spraying with. I have had my own personal paint disasters over the years and after shooting hundreds of them I try and use what I am sure will work out. Even then, even when I am sure the shoot went about perfect, I still have a bit of anxiety until that paint cures and looks great like it should.

Hey Trigger, what up man? I've sprayed Nason for over 18 yrs. It used to be an ok brand back in the day but I noticed that in the last 6, 7 years it's freakin reduced man!! hahaha, no reducers needed (just kidding.) The place where I get my base that's basically there main seller especially now being so expensive. But about 3 years ago the sales guy got me into the new Nason XL, big difference as far as coverage goes. Way better than regular Nason for sure. Once in a while I would get a high end job where budget was no problem with the materials so I would go with Dupont which if I'm not mistaken it was bought by Axalta, not sure tho. Why I use Nason as much, I live in a small town where people just want there rides looking good not savagly good. So I have to work with the community as well. Got to go back to the lab man, thanks for the great video bro.

Trigger you hit the nail on the head. Trying to achieve "Pro" results with "baseline" or "economy" products almost always ends in lower quality results. (Doesn't just apply to paint either) "Mid grade" really is the right way to achieve a QUALITY "economy" job.

I use Nason Ful-Base most often, and yea, it's not as good as, say, Chromabase. I do find it seems to lay better with Nason 441-22 and an LPH400 1.4 close to suggested inlet psi (16). Oddly, the jobber states it can still be mixed 1:1 vs. the TDS 2:1. I do 2:1 on the first coat, then 1:1 second coat, or drop coat mixed with extra binder to even out metallics. Surprisingly, I can get away with about a little over 2 quarts of raw base for coverage on a full respray, but that's just what works for me. Definitely not recommended for the beginner.

Price is just a touch more than Ful Base ($20-30 more in most case) and is way better.

I use it year round, for 11 years now no issues yet. And it's hot as a MF here 🫠

Absolutely its more work. Like i get that when your buying OEM paint for something like a GM factory white pearl tri coat that the paint mixed at your local supplier is $175 for a quart of white base and $275 for a quart of the pearl mid-coat but its a lot better match and better quality with much better coverage than the cheap stuff you see on ebay that cost $120 total for both a quart of base and quart of mid coat. Made those mistakes a long long time ago being cheap when i first started and it cost me more in the long run having to do it all over again with the quality stuff. Ends up costing you the sanding disc, sand paper, plastic and tape and everything all over again as well as primer again and clear. I like Akzonobile wanda paint and Akzonobile sikkens now days.

That's exactly what I have found in Wanda paint by Akzonobile. Its priced good and is great. It is 2:1 though for the most part which I would prefer 1:1.5 or 1:1 but its pretty good. Ofcourse Sikkens by Akzonobile is great but expensive. Glasurit is great but expensive. Ive used PPG Omni line and didnt like it, PPG Shopline and its "meh".

Omni and omni plus.

Omni is still around there’s regular Omni, Omni plus. The plus covers a little better but it’s still thin paint so I mix 2:1 instead of the 1:1 they say to mix but some say certain shop line colors cover pretty good but they’re all cheaper paint compared to deltron and envirobase

Omni gave you issues? 1:1 mix I thought so you can cut it 2:1 ? I use shops that mix their own stuff and saved with great results 1:1 mix. Now I’m in Texas and trying out some small shops to see who is better suited for my jobs

Yea Omni wasn't that great back in 2001 -2003 Not necessarily issues with it but it was just cheap watered down, transparent. Still made it look good but like I said in the video I basically work myself twice as hard using that paint.

For real, cheap materials are a headache. Just unwrapped two cars I used some cheap tape on. So much residue!

I always had a question about that using the adhesion promoter over primer. Shouldn't it make more sense to put it on the plastic directly, I guess my question is if there's primer. I guess my question is wouldn't adhesion, promoter on top of primer be a waste?

@thetriggerman954

25 күн бұрын

Not necessarily a waste. In this case I was using a product that is adhesion promoter and a gray sealer. So it's a two in one product. Adhesion promoter is not just for plastic it makes paint stick period. Whether it be plastic, Chrome, glass, fiberglass etc.

Every paint manufacturer has cheap paint and good paint. Any brand will do just go for the middle of the road or the higher end stuff. What you can do is get half and half. Half of the cheap stuff half of the good stuff, put the cheap stuff down first and then when you put the better stuff you'll see the difference guarantee. Then make up your mind from there. And that's with whichever brand you have access to

You are not wrong about cheap paints
