Hi Trigger, well that looks awesome lovely colour and the finish from the clear is outstanding, I don't think you would get a better finish if you was using the more expensive paint apart from the longevity might be better🤔 I use the Kapci paint here Trigg and I'm lucky enough to have a paint scheme (seeing as I'm a hobby painter) so I normally use Kapci primer, base and clear which is regarded here as a mid range product, the base mixes 1:1 and IMO it goes on nice but like most paints there are a couple of colours that don't cover so well, I'm not sure if you can get the Kapci paints but they might be worth a try👍John UK

Thank you 🫡♥️

[@bradsrestorations1085]

Trigger, I didn’t understand what made the job 80% easier. Was it the reducer or the paint? (The car turned out beautiful)

[@thetriggerman954]

It was the base coat, I use the same reducer on the last overall it still wasn't pain in my ass. So definitely the base. I was just throwing in the reducer tip as a bonus.

​@thetriggerman954 thank you very much! I truly enjoy and appreciate your channel. You are providing excellent training for everyone! Thank you. God bless you my Brother

[@thetriggerman954]

@@bradsrestorations1085 thank you Brad. I'm glad it's helping guys. But if you haven't definitely try a quality reducer man it helps with the metallics and believe it or not gives a better color match too. Thanks again man have a blessed weekend. 🙏🏼♥️

Looks great for a cheapy! What do you like running for tip size on the dv1? Been bouncing between the 1.4 and 1.3 for base

@@Peterrides yeah not bad at all for a blow n go lol I run a 1.3 and it's hot AF here it's perfect. I tried the 1.4 it's faster but gives me excessive peel in my finishes.

Dupont good stuff. I got a question Trigger . Luxe and all. What paint code would you consider the absolute best Black. Black of all Black paint. Thanx.

[@thetriggerman954]

If it's jet black I like Mercedes 040 it seems to be the blackest black in my opinion. Some blacks have lots of red mixed in them and it seems like the Mercedes 040 is always the blackest in most paint systems.

[@jessekampegaard8491]

I used to always use chromabase base coat and nason clear. I just tried to amtech clear and it's kinda thick and dries fast. The van I just did has some orange peel. I'm about to try the REVOLT products. Have you tried any of them?

No I've never heard of revolt, This BMW was sprayed with the Am-Tech as you can see it lays down pretty good Maybe you need to bump up the pressure a little more but I really like it.

@@nyronjnobaptiste8536 I've been using it for 11 years. Trust me man if it were garbage I would have moved on to something else loooong time ago. It's decent clear.

What does it mean when you say it will die back ?

Meaning the paint is shiny when you leave it then the next day it has loss anywhere from 20 to 50% of the gloss / shine.
