How’s it going gunny Have you tried mixing your primer shade in water base if you haven’t it’s really handy to get your primer shade just change the mix to greymatic on your colour code search then type in you g shade it’s very handy for coverage. Great channel cheers.

I'm an old school autobody tech and currently mix paint for a living. Deal mostly with axalta systems. Cromax pro is our only water, but for solvents, Montana big sky, and Nason. We also deal with besa's urki mix pro as well as their industrial line. Nothing covers like the cromax, and the fact you don't need it to flash between coats. Shits hard to beat. But so many of my customers are old school too, and don't want anything other than a solvent.

only ever really used envirobase (been painting for 6 years) i used baslac solvent for a little bit. but i really do enjoy the envirobase, i know a lot of people have colour issues. but man once you figure that system out its A class. nice video bro

I got a gallon here in a San Diego paint store for $100 bucks, it was a return so they just make up the price, im not a professional, I just paint parts here and there, I use the DevilBiss GTi pro that the Gunman got me in to, it likes to run, and mixing it is definitely by weight, don't use a measuring cup, other than that is pretty easy to use, it smells like Home Depot house paint, I think I'm definitely going to use it from now on.

You can change from parts to percentage by editing your rfu in paint manager xi, on the money with there being to many variants at times but if you click on the information “I” symbol it will tell you the origin and vehicles painted in that colour.

Interesting video Gunny, I don't know what clearcoat Gabe uses as he has never mentioned the strange ratios you use, obviously it's PPG but probably a different clear. I'm still getting my head around my Kapci solvent scheme but I do like it and has good coverage, I tried some water based basecoat but had drying issues with my homemade booth so it had to be a solvent scheme.

You can use the Deltron line of primers I’m sure they’re envirobase compatible. Talk to the rep, I use dps3055 and it comes in all gray shades, and use ENV sealer over top and deltron base over that

its weird because in canada atleast where i am in canada the ppg color match blows cromax out of the water i only have to tint a couple cars a year out of maybe 800-1000 cars where as my buddy that works at a cromax shop and has to tint every day.

I’ve recently used ppg for first time and looks like I’m stuck using it for my diy jobs. Have you ever experienced spidering? Panels were clean and dry. No solvent left. Got spidering/cracking look in few spots on fender arch and on flat roof of a t4. Was not fun fixing it in the heat of the moment. Any input would be appreciated since I’ll be using same ppg paint.

I go with the camera over the color chips. And I've been having great results for about 3 months now. I've only been spraying this paint for 8 months now but I've been painting for close to 30 years. I've always lived by the chips I never used the camera except for on Volkswagen because sometimes it's hard to get to the paint codes now I use the camera on every car And like I said I've been having great results at least with this paintline.

@karlm8221 2 жыл бұрын

Just in regards to the colour scoring with the spectro, 1-15 on metallics is generally blendable and 1-5 on solid colours, the spectro for me is overated if it's a tricky colour the higher score is generally a better score, has its flaws but is a decent system l, clear coats and primers are tops imo

@peterpearce8489 2 жыл бұрын

That’s interesting, my experience with spies here is the US Is similar to what you’re saying about ppg when it comes to the color chips. A lot of the jobs we paint will have 5-6 chips and none really look all that good. I’ve also found that 90% of the time the chip is a shade lighter than when you go a spray out.

in canada the big paint companies care more about making money than how many spray out cards you have to do to match a color (more spray out cards means more money). I dont even have a paint rep anymore, not a helpful one anyways. they tell me to look on the computer for the TDS sheets or instruction sheets. im sure there new moto is "mistakes mean money" for the paint companies. so why would they help us painters with better color matching. good thing for your vids Gunman

I have sprayed PPG AuqaBase for 15 years now and I have one hate about the product, It HATES HUMIDITY, and takes forever for it to blow dry between coats and if you push it , in a few months time you will have delamanation in areas that are not fully dry! And when you live in a high humidity area this SUCKS for production!!! Have not tried other products to have a base line where AuqaBase truly stands in the Refinish Products out there!

I started at the shop I’m at about the same time as you did at this shop. I’m spraying ppg envirobase here as well and came from cromax pro. To be completely honest I have very few good things to say about ppg water base. My biggest issue so far is hiding a sealer edge. I seem to have to sand out the edge in my basecoat on all high metallics. Is there anything you’ve found that works? My ppg rep said to use the 490 and I do, but it only hides it so much. Any help would be appreciated
