Hi Tony, thanks very much for all the help here, great stuff. I am a "perfectionist" DIY'er, and have made hundreds of mistakes to get it right, and this has helped me immensely. The Iwata HTE 3 settings i havent got right untl i saw this. Also this use of of fast hardener and and thinner has fixed a lot of my issues.(more suited to our enviroment and hunidity here in the UK and Ireland, was advised never to use fast!). I just spray in my garage/workshop with a small extraction fan, use a hair dryer on the base coat and infrared lamp for the top coat.Just sprayed a black metallic on the full rear bumper of a skoda today, and the results were amazing. (just have to get rid of the dust nibs... but now have come to expect that, especially when spraying outdoors or in my garage and let go of trying to get it 100% right. I wet down everything before I start to reduce dust as much as possible). Would love to have a go in a proper booth one day. Again, thanks for all the help. Keep up the great work.

Hi and thanks for the comment so glad these videos have helped you that’s always my main goal when I make content

Great tutorial , again very well explained with a great result goes a long way to show that preparation and using the correct technique is the most important aspect rather than just buying big dollar equipment and not knowing how to approach a task

I just sprayed my first bench top with waterborne floor 'varnish'. I used a $60 NZ electric spray gun, (Ozito brand), from the local hardware store and strained the varnish through a piece of rinsed out garden frost cloth! I knew I was heading for disaster but I kept thinking "what would Rolls Royce do"? I knew half of it was in the prep so I was fastidious with that, and I made a little half-tent/booth thing out of polythene drop sheets. Bugger me it came out mint! Anyway, my Iwata AZ3 arrived today, and I pick up my compressor on Tuesday. Looking forward to spraying stuff over Christmas. Great vids mate - learning heaps Cheers from NZ

The best part I hope ppl are noticing is your technique when spraying, especially when you purposely go really slow, there’s an upholstery guy on KZread he never speaks, of course ppl complain that he doesn’t but if you just watch you learn there as well, 💥👏🏻💥

I've always wondered in waterbased if the drop coat (spraied after flash off) once dried , leave a micro peel that can be visible in some lights after the clear Is cured. I notice this problem in solvent base(more visible in lower solid clears). If i spray the drop coat with no flash off (when the base Is still wet) this doesn't happen and dries smooth and so the clear.

I have sprayed solvent for 5 years how hard would it be in your opinion to change over to water ? Thanks

I didn't quite catch if that was solvent-based clear coat can you use a solvent-based clear coat over water base base coat?

@TonysRefinishingTV

4 жыл бұрын

All clears pretty much are the same For water based or solvent based base

How do you add reducer ? I'm new to this ppg stuff I was told reduce 25% of the total paint mixture you make. So if the paint comes out to 1 ounces which is like 12 grams total what would I reduce it too

Great tutorial tone, cheers m8

There are 1k clears available, if you don't want isocyanate. They are going to require a fair bit of polishing though to achieve a good depth and won't be as hard

I have been trying akzo nobel imperium waterborne which to me is re branded lesonal as the color formulas are the same as well as reduction. It says to put down a 100% first coat, which I take as a closed coat. It will leave fish eye looking spots if its not closed and you can see the holes like in clear. It will run easily on that first coat. I have been turning in the fluid on my guns. I'm going to try your method and see what happens, I like the double control coat. I have seen that used in ppg. I'm switching from low voc solvent where it needs a wet spraying gun and cannot do a control coat. How much were you reducing metallics? Thanks

@michaelharris8354

Жыл бұрын

All waterbornes are very different. The stuff we spray is wet on wet. Almost 100 percent coverage and then straight to a control coat, no flash time. It’s amazing how fast we can paint now. Little caution with whites. Those you need a little flash time just because of density. Even in our crazy humidity, with fans and temp set, I can clear in about 10-15 min

Simple question, what product do you use to thin the water base , base coat, product, qty thinned, pressure at the gun, If you can give us a mtraxi of waterbase product , prime thinner, base thinner clear thinner.

Watching this again got me thinking that now I have a good heater in my booth (getting 22-26C) would waterborne basecoat be an option Tony? you said it gave a better finish on the clear which is my goal, so is there a difference between waterbased and waterborne basecoat and what do you use to thin the paint and do you use the thinner to clean the gun or is there a cheaper option? I can get waterbased basecoat from the same place as my solvent based at Advanced Paints but not sure on the thinners, cheers bud, John
