A coworker taught me to roll the tape like that. He said his grandfather taught him. They were doing it in the 50s supposedly. I bought dollartree tape to learn on. You're doing good things teaching the world that. Great video as usual.

Thank you bro. I appreciate it man. I really do 🫶🏼✊🏼

[@kingsway731]

Im with you on that wet bed. I dont hardly ever do that. If you're getting a dry halo your pressure is too high or reducer too fast for the temp. You could maybe be flicking the blend too far away. See the paint hitting the car not your hand or the gun. I like that tape trick! Im definitely going to use that. Thanks man i always just back taped and rolled it. Been painting since 2000 and still learning things. I got one for you though. When you blend clear, try wetting the blend spot with blender before the clear goes on and then after. You can put it on even lighter and it will flow into the blender. Always invisible without buffing.

[@thetriggerman954]

Hmm 🤔 blend clear I to the blender. I'm gonna have to try that on a test panel or a POS car. Sounds interesting 🤔 I'm gonna try it 😀 I'll have to come find you if it fucks up 😉

Some people dont recognise the brilliance of a good blend, and that was brilliant brother. Beautiful job in many ways. Soft edge your own tape boys. One of our painters folds over the edge, sticks it to a panel and then walks it out while piching the edge at the roll. Works for them but i cant donit like that, over the knee for me 😉😎. Great work my man, madenit look easy as.

I love hearing you say 2 turns out from closed. All these dang people saying to run it all the way out, is just crazy! I know those guys have to be using a TON of unnecessary material. A blend job like this would have those guys mixing a damn gallon of 1:1 base, and still run out… 😂 I’ve been running my guns anywhere from 2-2.5 turns out from closed since I started spraying & I always get good results!!! #TriggaForPresidentè

[@MichiGanjaMook]

comment on the wet bed. i notice that trigger lays it down wet. 2 coats back to back not getting off the panel till he has coverage. i think thats why he has no need for the wet bed on most hard to spray colors. just my thoughts. trigger spray like a pro and has spit alot of honest good info. my opinion.

[@thetriggerman954]

Thank you brother, I appreciate that. Just always keep in mind that the wet bed is intended for metallics to land and lay flat That's ideally what the wet bed is for metallics, some painters can use it to correct other issues they may have for instance... "Sand scratches" which happens when the vehicle isn't prepped properly, "sandpiling" which happens from incorrect application including incorrect temperature reducer for the job list goes on bro. People are using the wet bed as a safety net for improper spray techniques Will it help them Yes definitely, but it's best to learn the proper techniques. Thank you for your continued support. Oh and on the side note bro I'm going to be completely 100% transparent with you prior to me starting this KZbin channel I never sprayed with the wet bed. I realize that most people on KZbin are trying to learn how to paint and it does help an inexperienced painter have a better finish. But again I've never used it until starting this KZbin channel. 💪🏼🫡

[@thetriggerman954]

[@joshzimmer]

Damn that paint covers great. I agree with you people on here way over use wet bed. Im currently using sikkens autowave. Never use a wet bed, dont really have any issues not using it either. But the paint coverage on blues and red is awful. Have to use coloured sealer (wet on wet in uk) and it still takes 3 very heavy wet coats to cover and on the job ill be allocated 1 hr to do a bumper + bends takes more like 2-3 hrs. 😅

[@thetriggerman954]

Got damn bro 😭 coverage is that bad? Yeah that sucks, it's like every paint line has its pros and cons. I've used colored sealer in the past. 2-3 hours man I could spray an overall and still have time left 😂 sikkens has awesome clear. I miss those days lol. And yea these guys have gone wet bed crazy out here. They buy anything these channels sell them 🤷🏽‍♂️ thank you for watching 💪🏼👊🏼

[@MichiGanjaMook]

I use the autowave right now and have sprayed ppg envirobase for a few years. Both have good and bad. Sikkens definitely needs the colored sealer. A work around i found, is use the colorbuild system to mix a color match primer. Spray an extra coat when priming and finish panel with 800. Get the body guy spraying color primer. Then u can go right to color and get coverage in 1.5 to 2 coats.

[@thetriggerman954]

@@MichiGanjaMook now that is smart 🤓 get the bodyman spraying colored primer. I like your style bro. I would've never thought of that 😂

@@thetriggerman954 wouldn't know about sikkens good clear coats. We are forced to use aerodry no bake clear coat on everything other than large roofs and large hoods on those we have to use autoclear 2.0 which is really orange peely don't rate it at all. Apparently superior is amazing but they say it's too expensive. I'm fairly new to sikkens as I moved jobs so still getting used to the colour build primer. Used to use glasuirt and spies hecker both of which were unbelievably good in comparison. Sikkens just isn't even in the same ball park in my opinion.

Is the LPH-400 superior to the later WS-400 EVO ???

I can't really say it's superior. It's probably more user preference. I have both guns and I prefer the LPH400. less overspray operates at a lower pressure. So it works better for me.
