Thank you John I appreciate you my man, Yeah it could be a number of things That will cause that Maybe that's why I couldn't duplicate stripes because I spray wet.

Several months ago I grabbed an old hood and fender that I still practice on between the occasional weekend job. Helps with reducer choices, gun settings and techniques. I paint the hood flat on a stand and the fender propped up, like they would be on the vehicle. The results have been better results and fewer screwups on people's cars.

[@thetriggerman954]

@@marcosbravo87 pretty hard to do right off the gun. Especially if you're not painting every day. You basically have to get everything you spray with zero peel including, sealer, base and clear coat so it's basically just time behithe trigger. But start out with your fluid turned in then back it out as needed. Based on how the peel is looking and keep the pressure on the higher end vs lower

Yea there are a ton of ways. I know a guy spraying in Vegas he can't even do drop coats because it's so hot even with extra slow reducer and the way his booth is set up.

Painted a bonnet today there was some old standox paint in the shop so my boss gave me it for coverage, I didn’t think to read the tds brother I got mottle which is something that hasn’t happens to me since my first year of painting, man the base was drying glossy I was sitting there using a blower blowing it thinking it ain’t dry but it was dry just dried glossy, by time I put the actual paint on which is onwings paints, it looked good but once I cleared it the Mottle showed, what did I do wrong trigger? Have you sprayed standox before? How do I prevent that mottling when it happens and how do I get rid of mottling once it happens, usually I just dust coat last coat and it goes but it didn’t work this time trigger

[@thetriggerman954]

I think standox is the only paint I haven't sprayed but I can't see it being any different than all the other paints. Maybe the 2 different paints we somewhat reacting, or the old paint was reduced with something that affected the top coat. Many things could be the reason when you're doing stuff like that.

[@ntonytay]

In the early days when i started out, i used to get stripes only on the hood. The only thing i got it when i had stripes is poor overlap and small gun pattern especially when u got the materials right. Like trigger said, just spray it wet and overlap ur passes tight and it will solve the issue. Drop coat criss cross does help alot but if only if you notice a little stripes usually can get it by drop coat.

Thanks Trigg! I had no idea that a wet bed helps stabilize the metallic flakes. I'm definitely going to use this trick in the future.

[@nocandopdx]

Reason you can't get stripes is because you're spraying perpendicular to the panel because you're so used to doing it correctly. It's not uneven overlapping that will cause stripes, but spraying at a slight angle, or inconsistent angles as you overlap. Happens when people can only pay attention to one thing at a time while spraying, and their eyes are focused on coverage, and their body is focused on distance, so then they can barely pay attention to their speed until something else becomes second nature and frees up some cognitive processing power to pay attention to something else. For most people, how they hold the gun is the last thing they really work on because you can get away with doing it wrong spraying most products, but sooner or later you run into silver metallic and you go and spray how you normally spray and can't figure out why you're getting stripes. The problem is, no amount of advice or tips from exoerienced painters will remedy striping until you address how you hold your gun. You can go up and down and the result will be that you just end up having vertical stripes instead of horizontal. Ask me how i know? I don't speak from experience, rather, what I realized in frustration due to inexperience

[@thetriggerman954]

Yeah man I remember my first few years it was a challenge. Crazy part is every paint manufacturer has a different way they want you to Spray. Sherwin Williams solvent was the easiest for me because they wanted you to spray the metallics wet on wet so you can't really mess that up. In my opinion. Thanks for chiming in my man you sound like you've had your fair share of metallic troubles as well 💪🏼🤙🏼

[@nocandopdx]

[@leviscott8519]

Good prep work trigger! The guy with the striping is painting in too hot environment/reducer or his gun isnt spraying an even pattern or the pressure is set too high. I have a Gun that no matter how I set it, its heavy on the top and bottom of the spray pattern. should throw it out because it cost me a lot of work and paint until I figured it out.

Also the strips are more than likely from holding gun to far away with poor spray pattern?

I have that same car in LC9Z black. I wonder if these new guns are any easier than the guns i'm familiar with. For solvent. I have had the best results with the old nr2000. For water i found the 5000rp 1.2 worked the best. I tried using wsb hvlp for 2 years and it was actually hurting me with certain color blends. You apply base very wet. That actually helps not get stripes. I know a painter who paints everything with a Satajet 90 1.3sl. He does crazy silver blends with it and all. I could not do it and i've tried

[@thetriggerman954]

Yeah you're right about me spring wet that's probably why I can't get the stripes. Maybe the main issue is people are spraying them too dry. And I'm definitely not going to spray some dry metallics to demo what not to do in a video, that means I would have to send all that crap back down 😭 And I sprayed my SATA jet90 doing metallics for years with no issues that's definitely one of my all-time favorites.

[@frankartale1026]

@@thetriggerman954 ya know whats crazy. I used to spray metallics with the sata 90s not even the sl. When i 1st started in 1996. I was striping up hoods on some colors but some of the jobs i did were mint. Like a full respray of my 92 notchback in calypso green . I could never do that today with that gun. I dont think 😁

Hey triggerman..good info bro..my problem with stripping was my overlaps were not consistent..specially with metallic paint..also had to learn the gun being used..but once dailed in and being consistent with the overlapping..things got better..but with your guidance still in the learning process..and thanks for the tips man..now spray on..😅😅

9 times out of 10, I think it comes from guys either using a messed up spray gun, or a gun that’s dirty. Clog a few air holes on your gun Trigga, mess that pattern up and you’ll understand how it happens!! 🫡

Overlaps are too wide and not overlapping properly or spraying too fast
