No black jobs planned for this year so far. . My customer who builds all the black cars is slowing down. He has a 70 Chevelle he wants done but I don’t know what color.Must be strange not painting something SS black eh Don?
Pink?Wait til you see the color of my 59 El Camino.
Wow! Wow! wow! Love to know how to get it to lay down like that.I had the inner fenders all done in black epoxy but the owner decided he wanted them to match the firewall. So scuffed, sealed and base followed by four coats of universal.

LPH400 LV with a 1.4. 2.5 turns out fluid. Skooch less than full fan. 26-28 psi. 50% overlap. Slow activator. 1 ounce of retarder per sprayable quart on last coat. And some good luck…Wow! Wow! wow! Love to know how to get it to lay down like that.

So you learned it here too?That sounds really familiar. LOL
Excellent job by the way.
144 means 1.4 nozzle as far as I know.
Do you have any recommendations for flash times, and is there a minimum temp for doing 4 coats?LPH400 LV with a 1.4. 2.5 turns out fluid. Skooch less than full fan. 26-28 psi. 50% overlap. Slow activator. 1 ounce of retarder per sprayable quart on last coat. And some good luck…

I do a full 30 minutes measured from when I finish spraying a coat. I heat my booth and shop to 75 degrees. The temperature drops a little while I spray with the shop man door open but my propane heater brings it back up quickly. Electric space heater in the booth. Fan and booth lights off between coats. Heat on for 24 hours after spraying.Do you have any recommendations for flash times, and is there a minimum temp for doing 4 coats?
Looks like the same gun. Just unsure which air cap is included. Most likely silver which is what I use for clear.Don, (or any other LPH400 LV users)
Does the gun in the Summit link I posted above look like the same one you're using? Other than EBAY which In don't like to use, that seems to be the cheapest option.
Yes, but it doesn't include the cup.Don, (or any other LPH400 LV users)
