Thoughts on enamel paint.
I have in the past year sprayed NAPA Martin Senior paints.
The one time I was really impressed was with my neighbors white truck. Don't know why he was in such a hurry (got a spare truck just like it) but one morning I had to go out at 4:30 and shoot before the next rainstorm.
Went out and the truck was wet. Fired propane and started drying (both sides of bed)
Was shooting at 5Am at about 97% moisture 54* outside.
SHOT IT! (White truck last 2 pics NOT Fern!)
When I gave it back I told him if he woke up in the morning and there was a long white round plastic staw on the ground next to his bed, to look up on the side of the truck cause his paint rolled up and slid off that night!!!!!8)
It's still looks pretty good!!
Remember FABO, I do not recomend doing this at home!
I am not a professional painter!
Just use me as a very good reference for what NOT to do!
I really don't think you need as much hardener as the say either. The more you use though the faster it sets. really expensive though. (Ran out on the white truck on the last coat!
Still OK!
The only problem? Lost track of the formula for the 64. Even went in with one of their old chip sheet from 1964!
They copuld not translate formula from chip chart to their new computer system. 1 year prior they mixed a quart no problem.
Now I have to go 30 miles away to Smyth. They have a camera to shoot the color on your car and go in, plug it up, mix, shake, pay, leave!!
I always shoot 1 stage color, it always turns out very bright and metalic looking with high gloss. Then I still shoot a couple coats clear, just to have something to cut & buff.
Hey! It'l buff out!!!!:cheers:
