@@PaintsByTrigger Opel Z20R, it’s black but it can pull to the blue, purple, red, green, yellow, and for example blue shade have 6 cards. Not sure if you have that color under GM badge in US. Other one is LB9A VW-Audi white. Had one in the shop that had 2 panels in same color, spent about 7 hours with paint guy so we can mix something that can blend in the panels that I need to do so it doesn’t look ugly, we started with 18 white cards with different variances from BASF, we were blinded after 7 hours of looking in white paint.

Nice one trigger, its an interesting topic to talk about the paint variation. Some paint code will have too many variations. Ive seen some older painters used to get some toners colors from paint shop like yellow, red oxide, blue and green. Whenever the paint not matched and they will start tinting it. Like add a little yellow to make it yellower, add green to kill the reddish and etc. its just something that need time to learn and it really makes life easier.

Trigger I do have a good paint supplier however I am a mechanic by trade I'm new to auto body game I spray out of my garage a little more harsh environment then where you are spraying at but a little cutting and buffing may help love the videos love the tips keep up the good work.
@PaintsByTrigger3 күн бұрын
Yes a mechanics environment is more harsh than a dedicated paint area, it's actually completely opposite with all of the oils, lubricants, silicones so if you're pulling that off and getting decent jobs that's awesome. And if a cut n buff is the worst of it then Spray on brother spray on 🤙🏼🤙🏼 thank you for watching 😎

High speed on the highway would normally cause that 😂😬 sometimes a sealer could help. Or even a light coat of adhesion promoter. But that's a tough call. I don't get much of that and I don't seal or add adhesion promoter so I'm not sure, maybe quality of the paint base or clear.

Hey trigger, I myself paint out of a warehouse and I don’t have a paint room. What I have done over time is accumulate different colors suck as yellows, blacks, reds, course metallics, fine metallics and pigment like that and I always use these to get the paint I get from the paint store to match almost as perfect as I can and in order to make it works out I always blend the adjacent panels to insure a “perfect" job. At least that’s what works best for me. Excited to see what other suggestions followers have to make things easier. ✌🏽 paint on brother 💪🏽

I'm double coating instead of putting one coat flash time is the amount of time between colts so since I'm not giving a flash time and I'm double coating it that means more material is sitting on the panel and needs an extended amount of time for the reducers to leave.
