Waterborne basecoat application

Spraying demo using waterborne basecoat in a 1.5 coat continuous application method. This is the application process of the basecoat in its entirety and after this the color was flashed for 15 minutes until it was fully matte. It was then clearcoated using a 1.5 coat application for the clearcoat as well. The total time from first applying the basecoat to hitting the button for the cure cycle was less than 30 minutes.

It was Ford paint code GQ if I remember right. Amber gold off of the 2010 Mustang mainly chosen for its contrast over the white substrate.

Hey man , what the hell is that air fed mask your wearing? Iv never seen one of them. It looks like your ready for the moon, not paint a car.

That is a 3M product actually. It is their PAPR and I use one all the time. If you do look in to one, I would suggest the tool belt suspenders like the ones I have on in the video to help carry the weight of the unit. It's not THAT heavy, but I hate it when it would slide down so the suspenders were the best change I made to the setup. They aren't cheap, but they work great if you are in the booth all the time and don't feel like dragging a separate air hose for fresh air around.

I don`t know the number of the clear paint that was used,would there be a way I would know for sure that the primer would stick?

So it is a basecoat and clearcoat paint job on there now? If that is the case you shoudlnt need anything special. The only time you will have to worry is if you are painting over laquer paint itself. Enamels and urethane paints will be fine with almost all primers ont he market now. Laquer alone will need something special to make sure it sticks, but the body shop or paint store you go to should be able to point you in the right direction.

What brand of paint do you want to use now?

@sixt9coug Used this same set-up for tub refinishing. Looks like the same gun too. Same pot - bagged. An HVLP three stage turbine...."Hawk 993 3 Stage"...gave an awesome finish, spraying a urethane base finish. Not a waterborne though.

k. thanks.

[sixt9coug]

Yes sir, it most certainly is. Just a different name, but otherwise its the same thing.

Is this "orientation" same thing as Drop Coat?

Lower pressure and littla further from surface jus to ensure metallic set well and is uniform?
