You will know if you had to mix it with anything, if you used it straight out the tin it would be 1k, 2k clear will start solidifying if it gets air to it, after all they are only between 40 and 60% solids, the rest will evaporate, the hardener will obviously also go off if you let air get to it
Is that not the same thing! , the document says, therefore the HSE legislation says, you should wear an air fed mask, i take it we were talking about iso clear and paints as that was the original question, so , we are talking about the same thing however you want to word it.
My point is, and...
The legislation says you should use an air fed, but, and it's a big but, if you are outside the overspray will dissipate quickly, this is why you will not see any smart repairs wearing an air fed if they are out in the open, the point i was trying to make was it's not illegal to spray 2k...
It's not illegal to spray 2k in the street, the smart repairers need to take other people into account HSE recommend 5mts but preferably 10mts and the repair needs to be a smart repair not a complete car etc.
The person spraying should take adequate protection, not necessarily an air fed as the...
You won't go far wrong with the ANI F160 1.3 or 1.4 if your using 2k solid colour, they have a bigger fan than the Devilbiss FLG5 and are a bit cheaper at around £100, If you budget can go to £200 then the Iwata Kiwami4 with BA4J cap in 1.3 or 1.4 is a good bet imo
First read the data sheet for your clear coat, some require a light/grip coat then a full, some 2 full coats, some may require 3 in total, also you need the clear to be warm, somewhere between 25 to 30c so heat in up in hot water or similar, it will run out much better and allow you to put less...
You will be fine, if it's only small things and not that often no one will even know, you just need to pick the right time, don't go doing it on a summer Sunday when it 25c as everyone will be out in the gardens, if it's 14c and raining then everyone is inside with the windows closed, better...
I wasn't aware we were going into battle and that is not my intention but i hear so much on here about 2k that someone reading it will be scared to death.
I repair and restore motorcycles and use 2k regularly, I have an Devilbiss air fed mask and a fully filtered extraction system, it however...
So are you really telling me that spraying a few wheels as a one off outside is going to affect the neighbours if you do it when they are out? , come on, we are not talking about opening a body shop in someone's back garden.
I sometimes wonder with all this talk of 2k if anyone has actually used...
IMO you are far better of spraying your own 2k clear outside if it's only a couple of wheels, the biggest problem you get outside is not normally dust but insects, even if it's cool they can come along but most of the time you won't get problems, use an extra fast hardener and get some heat into...
I use a Gti Pro Lite in 1.4 with a TE20 cap for direct gloss but but it will depend on the paint, the DG i use is 2 to 1 and i normally add 15 to 20 clear to gloss it up and improve the durability of it
I keep loads of stuff in my garage, yes the cans puff up in warm weather but they go down when it gets cooler, never had a problem in 40 years, be careful of course but things expanded when it hot and cool down when it's not.
Just store them in the coolest place you have
if you think you will need another compressor then its better to just link the two so they both run at the same time if needed, then route all your air through one of these, https://www.spraydirect.co.uk/acatalog/Metal-Work-Breathing-Air-Filter-Set-MWBREATHE3ST.html, these are the same as the...
The FLG 5 is a good competent spray gun made more appealing by the addition of a 1.3 tip compared to the 1.4 or 1.8 that was until recently the only sizes available, it, as you may expect is in a different league compared to the Gti Pro Lite or the Gti Pro, as has been said, there are a choice...
