new to this forum and have been reading paintmans advice, i belong to another forum and have many times given advice about painting issues as i was a panel beater for 30+ years and worked with the spray painters, i agree with all the advice given by paintman and wish that on the other site 17 year old new to the trade kids and older members with no trade experiance would stop giving there advice when they have no practicle knowledge.
it looks like on this site that what paintman says is good advice and not critacised(sp) wish it were the same on the other mini forum.
its nice to see that the members on this site leave it to the expert and dont try to say sorry paintman is wrong and im right.
sorry for babling on but its really nice to see a expert give good sound advice and no one condem it as totally wrong.

Malcom is that you?!

If anyone needs paint advice then midridge2 really knows what he's on about.... I'm glad you've found somewhere that suits you better!

On another note, have a look at these two tins of paint, the darker one was ordered yesterday and is meant to be the same colour as the other one...!!! (GN17- Porcelain green)

I'm in the process of trying to get these guys to arrange a collection, as yet I've had no response.

There's no way I'm paying to send it back to them..........

Welcome to the both of you.
And that paint is shocking.! Too right you should not have to pay to send it back.

Thanks!



He tried telling me on the phone it just needed mixing......

Thanks!

You have to be joking! even a colourblind person could tell they were different shades!

[Amy]

Just got off the phone with the 'paint technician' he reckons someone fiddled with his machine (oooh errr)

Anyway, he is sending another tin today and will be picking up the wrong colour when it's delivered tomorrow, he was really helpful this time.....

I'll let you know tomorrow if they get it right second time round...!!


Amy

[Amy]

The correct colour arrived this morning....

I was being lazy and was still in bed, so my Mum took the delivery and never gave the guy the other parcel to send back!!

So if the courier has gone way out of the area already, it looks like we're going to have to pay to send it back after all......



Mum's are great sometimes aren't they....?!

You dont really mean that

Glad you finally got it sorted

Thanks for your kind comments Midrigde2.
One of the down sides to this forum is that so many members are posting for the same advice without reading any of the topics that are already their.

I agree with you that on one yet has turned around and disagreed with any advice that I’ve given. As a qualified panel beater and painter for over 20 years I’ve come across so many young people that have also said “I use to be a painter and that’s not the way to do it” What the really mean is, I’ve read all of the books that tells you how to paint like a professional.

I have been a panel beater for over 29 years and have to agree with paintmans advice , we all have our own systems and they varry with the type of materials used etc
i also try and give good advice , but it can leave you open to abuse from some that think they know better
as for the same questions being asked repetedly how about a FAQ paintman ? it would probs save you time in the long run mate

[midridge2]

ive been doing a search for information on the aquabased paint and have drawn a blank, can some one tell me why you have to use a different gun and is it thinned down and basicly as much info as i dont know anything about it. thanks in advance.

An FAQ is a good idea Woody, it'll take time to do but it should save me from repeating myself, i say it should save me from repeating myself.

If you’ve already got a devilbiss GTI gun just buy a No 115 waterborne air cap, I think their about £50-60, beats paying out another £300 just for a waterborne gun.
Theirs no difference at all between the GTI and the GTI-W, apart from the air cap.

Waterborne covers must better than a solvent based paint, hence why you need a different gun. As you know with solvent you need at least 3 coats of colour for a good uniformed coverage. Waterborne is applied with a dust coat as your 1st coat and then one wet coat as your final finished coat, and then lacquered once dried.

Waterborne paints do not take kindly to being over atomised as excess pressure will knock the metallics out of alignment and cause "greying" on silvers. Similarly the flip or orientation of the metallics can greatly change the final colour.

Hope this has helped a bit
