How to Spray PPG Envirobase Silver Metallic Without Mottle

[@robbyzieroff9775]

That t490, the classes i took the reps were telling me that i needed to put the wetbed down, let it flash and after its dry THAN put my base down.. i did it like that for a year. Well the last few months i actually been putting my wetbed down then quickly puttimg my base down while 490 is still wet. I have have such better results. Everyone i know lets the 490 completely dry before putting base down. Haha that just doesnt make sence to me. You want something for them metallics to land in and be able to flow out. I look at it like a pool, you take a handfull of sand and toss it into the pool its gonna flow out nicely. You take a handful of sand and toss it on dry land, its gonna look like donkey wang. Eh, i dont know sorry for the rant. Awesome work bro

I'm mainly industrial these days & approaching the big 5-0 so will probably never touch cars/trucks etc again but I enjoy all these vids never the same 😊

[@eddiebarrera469]

Like always show room quality,right out of the gun.like kamoski said,the perfect paint job is one big run.

[@smoggy1964]

Some absolute bad manufacturers paint jobs about these days Eddie

[@rosscornwall1966]

Are you basically doing a control coat at 15psi ( back a little farther large droplet sizes) or are you a little closer and putting a medium might coat?

[@vettejunkiez06bb]

I spray silver the same way..never a problem all silvers..2 coats sometimes 3 if u spray toyota 1f7. For me one heavy coats 2 drops coats..i also wet bed everything my prepers are lazy and think a red suff pad is the same as 800 paper...u ever try the method with pearl whites i told u about...

[@abelscaliber7969]

I would have the preppers fired lmao We 1000 every blend panel and 1500 on silvers

[@Sumkindawonderful]

Never did the 5psi drop before.ill have to try it and let you know how I make out

[@RMYD002]

I've never sprayed PPG but I currently use Axalta. I don't understand the purpose of using a product that needs 3+ coats? 1.5 coats of Axalta put on wet and you're ready to clear. We are in a high production shop and our current manager drops hints of switching to PPG. I don't understand how that would be beneficial. Great tutorial videos by the way.

[@edgartafoya]

I use it with T494 T492 modifier T493 and the paint is very even and does not leave sand

[@lalofactory22]

My question. Looks great but how is it a blend when you got new paint on entire door ? If color is off a bit, it won’t match to the back door. And silvers are often the hardest to match. Sometimes even if the exact same color is used it can change in a different brand of reducers or clears. I feel a better door blend by only spraying the front part of the door and blending with a fade, leaving old color on back half to match back door. All sanded in like a 800.

[@Skipdogg15]

He didn't paint the whole door. He used clear base to make a nice bed blended the door then clear coated the whole thing

[@alanjones99]

I used ppg at tafe as you. But its easy stuff to spray. But yep teachers tell ya its all bout getting air pressure right. I dont know once im shown a way to use things good at picking it up quick. We had Sikken in this week for demo,first job came out mint. Cant over think it n loose your confidence.

[@jimtysonboatworks117]

I'd like to see you do a gun review on the devillebus plus I spray 50 ft plus yachts for a living and just switch to this gun and love it interested to see what you would think

Brother.y el empalme arriba en el paral.la pintura nueva con la vieja.?????????

[@marklll2072]

Didn’t see or hear you say. What size fluid nozzle are you spraying with for you base gun? 1.3 or 1.2? Also what is the temperature where you live

[@deanenewton1593]

Hi. I have a question for you. When painting something like a bumper, how do you get even coverage on the inner duct parts or edges inside the bumper where trims go? I struggle to get the paint in, get it down smooth and not overload the edges creating a run. More so with clear coat. Cheers

[@chasehatcher1149]

Personally, I start with those edges and hard to reach areas and spray them from the backside if possible. That way by the time you get to the front you’re not paying more material on the faces from trying to hit the edges causing too much material on the faces for runs and sags to start

[@betobcn1973]

Have you tried the gti ProLite with hvlp cap for silvers? it doesn't work fine for me... I will try with the te20 cap Fantastic video!

[@vincentmartin4985]

Salut trop bien tes vidéos je voudrais savoir si ta combinaison de peinture gunman est disponible à la vente je suis en France bon courage

[@gordonwillox7781]

Is ppg Envirobase ,the same as ppg aquamax in Scotland?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I couldn't say mate. But possibly

[@REYREY-ue5fz]

I see your using the TE20 cap I’m using the T110 from one of your videos I saw and I love it. For base coat metallics should I keep using the T110 cap or change to TE20? I’ve been spraying sheer silver metallic and had some problems with tiger stripes and blotcheness… I’m pretty sure if I drop pressure and do what you Just did it will fix my problems lol

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I found TE20 best for this system. But if what you are using is working then keep doing it. Just try going lighter on the last coats.

[@quintonmullins19]

Ridiculously great tips in this video. Thank you

[@edbrown84]

This will come in handy. I've found it difficult to blend in some of the light silvers in PPG in the past. The 490 trick is definitely a winner

[@joshhunter935]

Sprayed ppg for a little while before landing on the clear base trick. Definitely helps with blends

[@GordoB91]

Nicely done - That basecoat blender looked blue when it was going on but in later shots it had dried clear?? These light silver metalics scare me

[@megaman4201]

That's correct, all of the PPG Envirobase has a very blue tint when it's wet, that's why you can't attempt paint match with paint on the stick, has to be sprayed out, dried, and cleared.

[@dropinbiking92]

Same in sikkens autowave. Lays down a wet blue / green look, and dries down the correct colour.

[@megaman4201]

@@dropinbiking92 yeah exactly, sure makes it a little more difficult to check color matches.

[@dropinbiking92]

@@megaman4201 Yes, I just fought with a subaru colour yesterday. M1Y. I ended up going with a camera formula for some citreon paint code. Took like 3 variants of the paint code before I realized nothing was going to match

[@megaman4201]

@@dropinbiking92 wow, that hurts. Kills me off every time I use waterborne thinking I'm going with better option on a certain vehicle and then fight with getting it to dry in the Maryland humidity only to be disappointed with color match in the end. Seems hit or miss, especially in my environment, home shop painting, not in a high flow climate control booth.

Great job gunman

Thanks mate. Hope all is well with you up there in Germany.

What % do you recommend to reduce silvers and high metallic colors with the envirobase

Mighty fine job!

Nice work! Gunny as always a thumbs up before i watch the vid..cause i already know..its gunna be good! Thx for sharing the skillz in automotive paint drillz..lets paint some shit!

I am struggling with nibbling during base with envirobase. Any tips?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Buy anything branded Axalta instead, it's far superior. I would struggle going back to Envirobase

[@irishgaminggenoratio]

Hey gunny have a nova verta spray booth , all new filters and it just isn’t moving the air quite well at all , any tips from your experience that may help? Both inlet and outlet turbines have been replaced with genuine ones within last 2 years

[@bigworm6635]

Do u prefer water or solvent if u did stuff at your home shop ? I’ve never gotten into waterbased

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Waterborne is better in the booth definitely. But at home I'd say solvent.

[@novinnovations4026]

Holy fuck, this changed my life thank you!

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Nice job Gunny the job turned out looking great as always mate 👏👏 I will be trying some Octoral water based basecoat this week and the TDS is saying two singles wet coats, wet on wet to cover dry then the drop coat or two single wet coats drying in between coats then a drop coat depending on temp and humidity, the TDS for this paint goes into great detail on application, should be interesting 🤔😬😂 John UK.

[@KFZCinar]

Entertaining. As always ❤️

[@duncandmcgrath6290]

I’ve tiger striped a couple

[@abelscaliber7969]

We all have

[@abelscaliber7969]

One thing with metallics is that you have to make sure you are going the same speed left and right with the gun I had this bad habit of going super fast moving left and then going a bit slower going to my right with the gun. That will cause striping 100% of the time regardless if it’s metallic or not

[@kristofkellhammer9208]

Awesome as usual 😉🤙

[@Rocksolidamerican]

So if you had to choose between standoblue and envirobase which would it be ?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Standoblue any day. But I love this shop and that's what we use.

[@Rocksolidamerican]

@@TheGunmanChannel thank you sir, I think you just made up my mind. Gonna set up a shop demo.

[@Soul1AnimeAMVs]

Can you do solvent paint the same put it on wet?

[@abelscaliber7969]

Not really you have to put it on medium wet They have a tendency to have dark spots when you put it on too wet

[@boostedgsr8580]

Ive done it with solvent and water same way. Hammer on the first coat of base let it flash fully normally lays out smooth and the mext two coats medium wet/ control coat and done. From basf RM/90 line spies solvent line, ppg ehp, have been using this method for a while and has not failed me yet. 👍

[@joaomiguelvareladesousa9130]

What presure you are using on clear?

[@Fritsvrolijk]

Thanks Pro

[@asheetuglasse]

What would you say your distance is from the panel while spraying basecoat and do you get further away on your last coat
