tips for spraying?

[Ly51ohh]

if your using a compressor and a propper gun then invest in a mixing stick.. It highlights all the amounts on that. there only pence mate

ccol004 whats a mixing stick?

[vantastic007]

Anyone still use cellulose? Unless it the 2 pack is iso free you need full respirator don't you? My mate reckoned as long as you held your breath while spraying you would be all right.
I was thinking of making a temporary booth in a car port and use an HVLP compressor and cellulose.

You need a mask no matter what you are painting.

As above, always have a mask on, even when your prepping the filler dust is also harmful

This is a paint mixing stick with all the different ratios on it

does the lacquer need rubbing down?

[mickygsi]

yes if u want to get rid of any bits of dirt/runs blocked out ,ul have to leave to dry for at least 24 hours before u block it down if ur not using a proper oven or ul end up tearing the laquer if it isnt 100% dry ,when it s cured use 1200 or 1500 wet and dry on any imperfections taking ur time not too go through especially the edges,use a small bit o fiary liquid on ur fine sand paper to act as a buffer if u want ,once ur happy panel is defect free ul have to polish with a foam headed buffer/polisher using a suitable polishing compound ,i recomend g3 0r g6

[Ly51ohh]

[mickygsi]
