although runs are much easier to get rid of if your spraying in 2 pack...

how do u get rid of em Bren
razor scape then buff?
sand n buff?

[Bren]

definitely not that way

you can just sand them back using wet+dry and a block and then buff it.

[strez]

use a titanium block

dont forget the criptonite paper
razor scape, wet1000 n buff  has been the easiest ive ever used.

hello people im back.... hope you all had a lovely xmass/newyear and perhaps a holiday.

i had a break over the holidays. back into it now but i had to sand the surface rust off 
one question, i have started to lay down the undercoat (one section at a time as i fix small repairs) and i noticed in places it stands out a bit like sand or powder but is flat in others?

i know you have to sand the entire car before putting the color on but i was just wondering if its my technique that is causing the powder effect or is that just how primer looks before a wet sand and im just a big fat noob?

sounds like overspray - either paint mixed to thick or to thin - thick = big dust, thin = little dust

[able]

its a primer/filler

1-1 for primer
1-3/4 for filler

i went 1-1, 200ml undercoat and 200ml thinners.

[BusyKiwi]

what air pressure you using? and is your gun a high or low pressure spray gun?

[Bren]

yeah sounds like your gun isn't setup properly...
just play with it while painting on a scrap piece and you should be able to dial it in that way....

i painted a new panel and added a bit more thinners and i also payed more attention to gun distance and this panel came out smooth as a babies bum...

i think i was to far away from the panel and the paint was drying before they hit the metal...

i forgot to watch the gun and not the car
