Nice,looks great with red body.What brand of paint? I been a auto refinisher for 15 years 10 years flat rate. We use PPG, and i have been spraying waterborne base since December, cool stuff, great matchs thus far. Painted my Jimmy 2 months ago, attempted theft on it this weekend, door damage, and column destroyed. Never got it though, must not have been familiar with a standard transmission or got scared off.

 

we use ppg deltron. DC 3000 clear. You have done it for awhile longer than me, i went to vocational school my last 2 years of high school for auto body, co-oped at a shop and have been there ever since this is my 5th year in the feild and 4th at my current job. Worked my way up from the bottom and now the head painter for the last year. I love it man, wouldn't change it for anything. Im sure everyone will have to switch to waterborne sometime. Are you on the west coast? i know a lot of shops have switched out there. Have you tried the new devilbiss CVI? if not you got to. I think it will squirt waterborne. Its a great gun for clear, (if i can stop blowing the seal out of it by the needle) Igot a few sata's and switched. WIth the 2 air caps you can't go wrong, and about 80 bucks cheaper than a sata or iwata and parts are way cheaper

 

wow looks tight dude! love the blacked out rims w/ the silver rim

 

not bad, but need to put it on 20's or at least 18's

 

How many coats did you do?

 

When the shop changed over to waterborne, our paint distributer included a CVI, and an Iwata. I run 2 booths, so they supplied 2 new guns as part of the switch. I am not a fan of the Iwata, and in the process of aquiring another CVI.For what its worth though. I still use my Sata 95 guns for the waterborne, they work awsome for me.Never tried the cvi with clear, its a dedicated color gun. I have sprayed many gallons of dc3000, and dc4000. For the new waterborne i am using d893, and d894 clear.

 

1 coat epoxy primer 3 coats black, 2 coats clear

 

Ive always liked that look-- looks good!

 

you got the nitrogen filled tires, lol at work every time we get one of those when we let the air out we hold a lighter to it sometimes it will hold a small flames other times it will blow the lighter out

 

Uhhh....Nitrogen is inert, except at very high temperatures and pressures. If it's holding a flame then you didnt have pure nitrogen in the tire, and youre just burning oxygen, or some other random gas..
