[stevenjaskolka]

[UAVr]

Nice job. Very informative. Thank You!

Thanks the video. I was trained on axalta products, but started a new job that sprays solvent. Axalta has such a specific application method (wet on wet), so its definitely been an adjustment. Gonna be tackling my first blend job this week, so this video is a lifesaver lol

My work spraying metallics got a lot better once i switched to the Devilbiss DV1-B basecoat gun.

[nestormoran]

I have used the Speedokote color blender to blend when it is still wet and had excellent results also. I was using a ready to spray base coat so I'm not sure how it would react with a reduced base coat when applied on the wet blender though. Thanks for another great video Chris!

Awesome refinish as always man, great work, i am definitely going to start using the color binder, looks like it helped a ton, thanks !

[geoffreyrawlings]

Always confused about sealys why did have to use a sealy .Thanks another great video.

[carterriesen]

Do you blend/ soften the the sealer edge while it is still wet or after flash time of sealer?

[Diocletian-qbwj]

I’ve never painted, gotta lay light blue metallic on hood and roof, should I use the color blend on entire area before base, both are fully primed

[garretspendlove]

Do you clean the gun between all these different materials, out do you have several guns

[marchallaert]

I have a question about what grit sandpaper for prepping the original clear for this repair. I have the same situation on an older Silverado we repaired the rusted wheel wells and are getting ready to blend into the rest of the box. Thank you!

New gun seems to be working well👍I use a lot of Speedokote products and the color blender is a decent price. I like the SMR 42 /2 to 1 clear they have. Makes 6 sprayable quarts for 159.00. I like it so much i'm going to use it on nearly every job. At about $28 a quart, it's easy enuf for me to budget into small jobs or entire car. Dries a bit slow, so I ordered the fast kit this time.
I'm guessing you are using the new gun on some jobs before posting a video or review. Well, back to the garage. Job isn't going to finish itself...

[terryhall]

Did you sand the other door and fender b4 you used binder

[gabrielcortez]

So this is basically “blending additive”?

[chvydrptop]

Just did a small spot repair on a quarter panel using color matched spray. The blend came out terrible. When you mention tiger stripping and modelling, is that the same as a halo effect? I get that a wet bed is suppose to smooth the surface so the metallic flakes land flat. Just not sure of the differences between the three mentioned. Great videos as usual.

[jeffdickson]

Just wanted to know how u get such clean work out of an open area like that. I assume u do body work in the same general area?

[premnathsamjahwan]
