yeah
Eastwood has a wide variety of top coat systems including basically clear coat
which is what we use on our online TV series hands on cars this low boc base
coat is durable and meets regulations in most parts of the country we used
boulevard black under 70 Camaro project and after that day that in East was 421
show clear so watch the video as we paint project said sled and show you
some cool tips along the way boulevard black base coat is next and we're mixing
it into a cup for an accurate mix ratio every time since the basis of 421 mix i
find the 421 column and pour from the left to the right first with color then
with the catalyst remember the seven on the cup is not a mix ratio just a level
on the cup mixing this way gives you a perfect for 21 mix ratio
yeah
attacking off the car again just in case there's overspray that we might kick up
into the paint another shot onto the test panel tells me the gun is set up
right and we can start spring color i use the same pattern spring the base
coat as I did the sealer the same road map but i'm using a sixty to seventy
percent overlap and about four inches from the surface you'll definitely get a
feel for it as you read your pattern while your spring to keep the hose out
of the car i usually have it over my shoulder and feed it into my spring hand
this gives you much better control and keeps your air hose out of the paint you
can see here we're skirting the car saves the shiny stuff on the bottom and
it also keeps from blowing debris from under the car up into the rest of the
paint job you can see I'm using a medium wet coat and not hosing the color on
there is no strength in the basecoat only pigment and residents so there's no
need and no useful purpose in applying big fat coats
typically i like to move from the bottom of the panels to the top
this is working against the air flow of the booth and helps eliminate dry spray
on the doors or any other vertical surface just like on the roof i use a
push-pull method on the hood pushing the paint into the middle and pulling it
onto the other side this make sure I don't have dry spray in the middle that
I'd have to cover up with more paint because that can cause salt and trapping
problems
I'm short and I need to school to finish the top edge of the hood but that minor
inconvenience is fine when we have the ability to paint the top and the bottom
of the panel's all at once
this saves us time and materials but it's a little more work to get
everything covered with the first coat flashed off which means dry to the touch
the second coat follows the same route as the first again I work against the
airflow other booths that way the overspray gets pulled across the freshly
painted surfaces and cross-links back into the fresh coat and doesn't have the
chance to become dry spray or dry overspray which can really cause your
problems
yeah
a magnetic gun holder in the booth can help keep your air hose off the ground
which keeps a clean after the base is flashed we let the color sit for about
another 30 minutes to an hour to fully dry before we clear code you can see
here that it's just color and has no gloss for strength to it but the
concourse program has handled both sealer and base coat perfectly i
couldn't be happier with this gun as you can see the Camaro looks great when real
proud of it and the concourse pro spray gun laid down the base coach as well as
it did the sealer coat and the 421 show clear so make sure you click on the
