I have a black car to paint - have only painted SS on insignificant projects - I understand the process is like painting clear coat - question ; having never done one for a show car, should I just stick with Clear Coat that I’m familiar with ? Or is the difference that big a deal ? - if I go SS...

At what point is clear too much . I’m building a mustang for my wife - using UV . 3 coats - block with 400 - 3 more coats- block with 800 and work to buff . BUT —— does doing more coats and continuing the process make it better/deeper ? All I’ve ever done is 5 coats- I hear of Sema cars having...

I’m finally getting around to making some kind of booth/filter design for cleaner paint job - does the intake side need to be roughly equal to the exhaust side ? I’ve read all about calculating proper air flow. Just trying to improve on what I do now which is box fans under my garage door. If my...

I was wondering about minimum price for a paint job - a lot of assumptions I know but I’m curious. A mid size car- standard color paint - a few door dings and scratches- nothing removed just taped off - door jambs painted. Minor orange peel or maybe some cut and buff but just starting with 1200...

Just wondering - have heard various hour quotes thrown around . Customer dropped off a car which needs blocked and painted- of course taken apart - gapped - assembly - final color sand and polish - he said “for 20 grand it better be perfect “ - I understand his mind set . He said he talked to...

does anyone know if this is a tri-coat? didn't look like it from watching the show. Can't get much info from the website- the spec sheets don't mention it being one and it looks like the mix is 1 part paint to .5 reducer? I thought I read here where Akzo is a good paint. I have a customer that...

right now I have the LPH400 and it's been a good gun. Seems to be spraying my base coat a little on the "light" side recently. I ordered some of the gaskets that go in the air cap hoping that fixes it. I paint just as a hobby so I don't have a bunch of guns. I feel like the lph400 is a little...

I’m gonna paint my aluminum boat- satin black with a candy red stripe (gloss). I know I have to get the candy first and clear coat to prevent bleeding. How do I do this and not have a stripe edge ? After the candy is cleared - I tape off the stripe and shoot satin but that will leave an edge...

70 chevelle that a tree landed on roof - got it pretty straight but there still needs to be more crown to avoid excess bondo - plan of attack ? There was a lot of oil canning to begin with and most is gone now - shrinking disk from the inside ? Will that raise it up ? Pretty new to the big metal...

simple question...if I'm getting a fair amount of trash/dirt in my clear coat (not the best garage for spraying)...am I ALWAYS gonna get pig tails ? I clean off the car before I sand. It seems to me that the trash breaks loose from the clear and stays under the pad and then it happens.....sure...

I just painted some candy colored stripes (brandy wine) and I want to pinstripe the outline of them - am going to use a silver base coat - will the candy bleed into the pinstripe ? It’s been 24 hrs and I used some hardener in the candy. Do I need to clear coat the stripes first before pinstripes ?
