Hallo

should you tell me which type of paint (brand name) are you using for blank painting? Price is not important, I need the best paint on the market. I do not want to do it with cheap spray! I have a new room only for blank painting because my customer want diferent colors.

Thank you for the answer.
Michal

Spies Hecker Automotive paint. If price is not important and you have an area set up for it.

Just my opinion. I am sure others will say different.

I like it because it has incredible UV protection, sprays out nice and is flexible enough to use on rod blanks.

If you have a spray gun with about a 1.3 tip you should be good to go.

Yes, I spray the color with a 1.0 and clear with a 1.3. Waste is a consideration so if you have an airbrush or something along the lines of a SATA minijet it will cut down on that considerably.

Another tip (maybe it's obvious), spray as many as you can at once. It is cost prohibitive to spray just one at a time.

yes, will do, maybe it is a secret, but are you mix the clear coat as usual for spies hecker or do you have your own formula for mix?

I contact manager of spies hecker, I hope he will call me back this week.

No secrets here. I mix it per the instructions on the can....it is going to vary with temperature, humidity,etc. The main thing is to check your pattern first. If you are getting a pattern that is even top to bottom and looks to be atomized well then you should be good to go.
