Spray A Car At Home - Escort Rs Turbo Basecoat And Clearcoat

Spray A Car At Home - Escort Rs Turbo Basecoat And Clearcoat. In this video we spray the Escort RS Turbo with 2 coats of waterbased basecoat and then apply the clearcoat. The basecoat was Lechler Rosso Red and the clear coat was Max Meyer 0200 2k lacquer. The Spraygun was a Devilbiss SRI Pro spot repair and it was fitted with a 1mm tip and sprayed at 2 bar (28psi)

Yeah, should have done really but the prep work was down to the chuckle brothers.

[@retrorestore]

Nice idea.

[@retrorestore]

They supplied the 2 liters of clear in different bottles with no labels on the bottles but different colored caps. We'll have to flatten off the peel forst before the final coat's.

cheers bud.

retrorestore Hi what make was the clear coat you used, Max Meyer 0200 by any chance?

I'm looking at buying a mk4 Escort as a project car next year.

[@burrpws1980]

Cracking job, but shouldnt you be wearing a airfed mask spraying 2k clear? Ive been put off using waterbased at home due to drying times etc, but you have spurred me on to give it a go!

[@retrorestore]

If I had one, I would use it. I wear the respirators other painters use. Good luck with your project. Cheers Martin

[@vwdarrin]

cool video , hope they fix that clear, car is looking good i like the red

[@jasabasenara8124]

Should of primered that first. Gun pressure too low. Creates orange peel.

[@retrorestore]

Thanks for your comment. Yeah we should have. We did when we sprayed the mini.

[@retrorestore]

cheers from across the pond.

[@cwuzii]

Looking good. Why didn't you take the door handles off?

[@retrorestore]

Cheers bud.

[@retrorestore]

Cheers bud.

[@retrorust3395]

hi pal , easiest way to get rid of the orange peal is when spraying if you see the orange peal appearing , then ad a little bit more thinners into the clear that will make it better , . i was told this when buying my star bright clear coat , they told me when spraying if you get orange peal and a tiny but more thinners and it should get rid of it and it did , and to be honest i didn't need to rub it down and polish it , , but u doing a good job pal :D

[@retrorestore]

Hi Jamie, we couldn't do that as we were using water based base coat and the thinners would have reacted. with it.

[@retrorust3395]

oh right ,looks good doe

[@retrorust3395]

I'm into my capris more than escorts but good one more escort will be bk on road :D

[@retrorestore]

HI, Good luck with yours, I get it mixed up from a local paint factors. I am trying out new clears at the moment. I have used waterbased clears which were fine, I'm using a max meyer clear at the moment.

[@TPM961]

[@retrorestore]

I use Fishers of Lincoln and they mix the Lechler waterbased base coat to order. Cheers Martin
