Sweet job buddy!! 🔥, i have confusion on how long the base and midvoats stay open, alot of ppl in watching seem to goutside the recoat window on tds sheets, yet they dont have trouble with adhesion, really nice job you are doing dude!!

Thank you, I usually check by feel or go by the sheet. I'll check my clear by touching a piece of tape near where I spray and it should feel like the sticky side of the tape, not stringing. That has worked great for me or just wait 15min between coats is a good rule of thumb!!!

That's slick.

Great video turned out great. You can do ghost stripes with your basecoat just layout your stripes after base and clear then spray the base in the opposite direction you sprayed it on your last coat it turns out killer.

We usually watch a Bob Ross video when I make pizza for supper , it’s very chillin , so I’m going to give your Designs a go and see how my pizza turns out ! My 67 RS is the same colour without a stripe and have been thinking of striping it for some time now. I’m not a painter but have worked on cars all of my life so this will be a good challenge for me. The spacing of the stripes has always been my biggest concern and really like your method and am not sure exactly how to knock off the clear coat but I’ll be wet sanding a bit. I’m also thinking how to tie in the colour of the stripe elsewhere on the car and am looking at painting the rally rims to match but that is a whole other nut to crack. I liked having lunch with the body shop guys at our dealer because they were always more chilling and making there cool toys shiny. Good luck , good health , and good fortune to you and thanks for your passion and patience. What flavour is bumble bee pizza?

Hahaha thanks for the kind words, I love Bob Ross also, if your gonna add a stripe over clear i personally would use 600 wet or no finer than 800 wet.as for addin the color other places, I like to see the accent color on the tail pannel between the tail lights. God Bless and thanks for the support!!!!!!¡

You’ve got skills! I’ve lost track, what was the number of coats again? 3 colour, 3 clear, wet sand with 600, 3 clear , and now 3 more clear after the ghost stripe?

Lol thanks, I just do this on the show cars I do, usually ill do 2 coats of sealer, 2 coats of base or till it covers plus 1, then 3 medium coats of clear, block 600 flat the 3 more medium coats then color sand 1000,1500,2000,2500 the 3000 then buff.thanks for watching!!!!

Question so before you striped it what did you use suff it like red scotch Brite would that work?

@ACDesignsGarage

Жыл бұрын

I think we wet sanded it with 600 grit. The pearl magnifies scratches real easy the red scotch brite may leave faint scratches. You may try the grey scotch bright. But if you have a test pannel try the red it maybe fine. I just dont want to lead you wrong and mess up something lol. Hope this helps!!!!

Quick question. When you start spraying the clear coat, why does it have that orange peel effect when spraying with a quality gun? The end outcome came great, but did you adjust something on the fly?( I’ll go back and see if I missed anything in the video). Most people who use this gun have ultra fine mist on the first coat. I know all guns are different, and the first layer clear coat is “ just the first coat” nothing special. Also what were your gun settings with fluid, psi, and fan?

2 жыл бұрын

Hahaha you caught me, When I started spraying the first coat I noticed it didn't have enough pressure, I checked my regulator and it was right. I started on the other side and remembered I turned down the air valve on the gun to do some touch up with base and never turned it back wide open lol luckily if flowed out pretty slick before I started on the 2nd coat. As for my gun settings its usually by feel, air psi at regulator is 26 to 28 psi, the fan pattern is wide open and as for the fluid its pretty wide open I just regulate it with my trigger pull. Check out motivated painters he has a video on gun settings that works pretty good. Thanks for watching!!

Depends on the light conditions, if its over cast you cant see it or inside the shop. The customer didn't want it to ghosted.
