Spraying my S14 from Home - HELP!!!

[kevy-s13]

Pretty much except after uv it based u turn up the pressure of the gun a tad, hold it back a small bit further away and do a light quick flick over the whole car... It just brings out the metallicyness lol otherwise known as a drop coat.

Ok, so when you say 'based' you mean once you have applied all of the paint coats before the lacquer???

Yup... U do your 3 r 4 coats, basically however many it takes to cover all the old paint/ primer completely....

Then do the drop coat....

Clear over base.. Meaning Base as in the actual colour with a clear coat (Laquor ) over it...

Could be why my bumper came out a lighter colour then . I just thought when water based use water and guy in the auto factors never said anything.

Im actualli not sure whether or nto u can use water but i doubt it... Open to correction doe...

Oh and make sure to panel wipe it before u base it so as not to get reactions and get a tack rag... After you'v the car based u can give it a quick light rub of the tak rag before laquoring to remove any little biteens of dirt sitting on the base...

by this....do you mean alcohol wipes or a lint free cloth or something?

i was planning on just hitting the rubbed down shell all over with the compressor air then alcohol wiping it.

is this the wrong idea or what?
