Looking for advice from people that have used the Matte Black on completes, preferably on a big vehicle.
I have sold a few gallons of it to shops here in BC but those shops have only done smaller jobs. Chassis paintjobs, firewals, suspension parts, couple of hoods and spoilers. It has worked great, super easy to spray, etc. But I have yet to see it on a complete, I may have a shop calling me next week to use it on a Ford ECONOLINE, it's kind of a cool project from a construction company that has money to burn by the looks of it. If I understood correctly this van will have customs wheels made with the company logo on them and they will cost 20K?
Talking to the painter I know he will do the roof first, then do the rest of it in one go of course. If I had to guess the panel temperature will be in the 70's , they have a regular crossflow booth, nothing fancy.
I'm hoping they settle in a mixing ratio of 4:1 or 6:1 and they are happy with the flatness of it, I hope they don't want it any flatter than that and then having to play with adding reducer or additional SPI flattener to the mix. More than likely the 2103-4 slow activator will suffice to keep a wet edge from panel to panel.
It will be finished on top of SPI Turbo primer, I don't think the painter will want to use any sealer prior to shooting and I'm hoping the prep work will be immaculate with no cut-troughs or any metal edges showing up.
Anything in particular to watch out for?
