Base Coat / Clear Coat with Dave Jones (DSP Builders)
Alright Guys I will try to explain some of the high points to painting but just like covering and rolling harriers and tork rolling none of this comes without practice. I could write on here all day on exactly how to paint a cowl, but if you have never had any spraying experiance you will more than likely have some trouble your first few times. Painting takes practice to learn how to do it without getting any runs or dry spots and thats something I can't teach you. What I can help you with is proper equipment and supplies and probably eliminate some simple problems that occur during the painting process. The first pic is of the painting materials that I use. The primer I use is PPG K36 and the catalist for this primer is K201. The paint that I use is PPG DBC Base Coat. The clear that I use is PPG Concept DCU 2021 and the catalist is DCX61. The reducer I use varies with the temperature. I use DT875 in the summertime and DT870 in the wintertime. The reducer in the pic is Grows 1370 its alittle bit cheaper than PPG and I am trying it out and it seemed to work just fine. DT875 is a slower drying thinner thats why it is used in the summertime it allows the paint to flow out before it dries. DT870 is used in the winter and is a fast drying thinner which helps if its not as warm where you paint as it is in the summertime. The Dx330 is a wax and grease remover and I use it before I spray anything and also in between coats.The DBC500 is a intercoat clear and is used to help blend the paint lines before clear is applied. I will try to explain all of these as I go.
