Aplying products
The total areas of spraying will be done with a compressor and spot repair gun ....
Do not use an airbrush
A spot repair gun is basicly a fully functional spray gun but smaller... and dual action dont use a bleader gun where pressing the trigger and oophh loads of paint ,,,No Good<<
Running 1.2 nozzle on primer gun
0.7 on waterbase
and 1.0mm on laquer gun
Please be aware try to get the gun set up right before going arse over tit and making a muts nuts out of the work
If at all get hold of a heat gun or wifeys hair dryer ideal for water base as the product dries on air circulation better and not heat ...The flash off temp for water base is 100c !! Yup so plenty of air or hair!!
Now apllication should be done carefully dont rush car paint it bites...
Make sure each coat is flashed off before the next in the first few stages
Finallly
Laquering areas to finish off
First coat lets say no finish just a basic area coverage ...Dont load it up for a finish unless you have abucket ready for the runs...
Next coat go for the finish after leaving to tack off on first ,,,,
Dont worry about the area where you stop ...
Use a good fade out thinner or add little thinner to the laquer in the gun around 75%more then you have left apply over the final ends of the laquered area ....Dont doddle about on final coat as this will react if left to dry too long or loose the shine ...
Dry off for 10 mins with a good heat source walk away and have a cofee
Finally finish off with a good finishing polish ie fine compound or used car polish ..."cutting particles in the product" DO NOT use T cut as the amonia is no good for finishing off faded out repairs ...
Or if you want just laquer the whole wheel and forget last para
Hope this helps
