That’s a great video, thanks for posting. The timing is perfect as I’m just waiting delivery of the airbrush version of the Flake King. I’m only a hobbiest so I think it’ll be big enough for my needs. I’ve now subbed and will be checking out your other videos.

Bro thank you so much for posting this i ordered a complete flake king kit i have ben spraying flake in my clear and its a pain to clean up. It was a bit expensive being over 200 dollars but its definitely better than cleaning stuck flake on the floor 🤣

Never heard of a dry flake gun before but it definitely looks like a really great alternative for me whenever I'm asked to do a flake or heavy metallic finish for one of my guitars. I usually groan inwardly when a customer wants flake/metallics as I just know how much of a pain in the hole it is when it comes to cleaning the gun and pots out after. Keeping the flake separate from my clear gun sounds like a gamechanger for me. Thanks for this clip!

Love your videos. I learned a few things here. This is more my size of project. I build and spray guitars, as a weekend warrior. Not pro. Some conventional wood or auto finishes, and some wilder stuff like candies, chromes, colour-shifting paints, etc. I'd love to see anything involving these sort of finishes. My limitation is about 6 CFMs from a woodshop compressor. So your guns don't mean much to me. I need to use LVLP or touch-up guns. Oh well. Thanks for the 'training' Tony. Much appreciated.

Hi what lacquer do you use for the flake I currently use quartz liquid glass but am finding it dose not like to be applied heavy and I get bad solvent pop also trying flow coat and get solvent pop every time I try it pmp supplies said you was the best one to ask and maybe recommend something they do.

Hey Tony, hope things are improving for you since our last chat, I know this is an old vid but wanted to ask about the flow coat, looked like you gave it one light coat then two heavier ones, is this the norm for you when flow coating, I just do the same as when clearing over base, with the 610 I give it two good coats then the same when flow coating, anyway great finish maybe one day I'll get something close to that!

@TonysRefinishingTV

thanks fella, with flow coats as in the name the clear flows alot faster so somtimes going really wet on the first coat can run so one light coat as a grip coat then smash it on its just a safer way to do it

@@JohnWD40TC02 its the age old problem of physics mate tbh gravity lol. so you do teo wet coats to close together ie before the second has flashed off enough and then you have one thick wet layer that can move, the weight of the second coat combined with the first still to wet coat will run gravitys a bitch , so i always say the more coats you add the longer you leave it between each to give each more time than the last to flash off as it builds in thickness. hence i always try to teach in my courses more finer coats over a longer time so say 15 mins between coats, is better than two heavier coats back to back, same result just in a safer more controlled way

What psi are you just spraying the clear at? Does it change when spraying the flake already mixed in?

@TonysRefinishingTV

3 жыл бұрын

No I’d keep the psi the same so it’s got a nice even fan mate and most guns I run at 2.0 bar 30 psi for clear

winder if a guy could make one of those out of a normal hvlp or siphon feed gun

Doesn't this way uses a lot more material blowing it everywhere and blowing loose flakes off before coating again?

They board in liverpool?

I've never used metal flake dry, what is like dry for a full respray,? For the stock car racing.? Usually the primer gun with binder or clear and flake, pressure up a bit .Gun an Extra 25mm back, go for even coats, then clear coat lacquer, ¾ coat then full coat.. Bake, Sand, Flo Coat or stock car ¾ coat 2 full coats Bake.... done

Is it ok to apply metallic flakes and flow coat the doors and bumpers off the car ?
