Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: Nitro spraying advice
There was a car spraying channel I posted in the petrol head thread or somewhere recently that does a lot of crazy finishes, worth a look!

Re: Nitro spraying advice
The former sounds a lot like the metallic paint I've been using recently. It's a prick to work with, to be honest.GrantB wrote: ↑Sat Jun 03, 2023 8:46 amThen I would just ask the shop to mix it for you, or at least the base, and you add the powder last? Shop mix will be best.
Big flakes is usually applied over top of base colour in the clear. I’ve never done it, but it’s a pain from my car painting friends experience.
When using big flakes, would you apple them over a base coat of a similar colour, or white/black?

Re: Nitro spraying advice
Yeah, metallic is a tough gig.
Big flake is always in the clear, over a base solid colour (incl metallic base). You need a bigger nozzle…maybe 2mm at least?

Re: Nitro spraying advice
yeah, theres a few threads over in the TDPRI site with sparkle finishes. Its not easy and the finish ends up being real thick to ensure that you get enough clear layer over the sparkle so you don't wet sand through which (from memory) means refinish. Also believe that the sparkle gets everywhere you spray, clean ups a bitch, and you end up using that spray gear forever more just on glitter.
That said, I'd still contemplate doing it - whats the worse that can happen??!!

Re: Nitro spraying advice
What respirator & filters do you guys use for this kinda work? I've got a spray job coming up and don't want to do the 'hold your breath while you spray' thing anymore.

Re: Nitro spraying advice
I have one of the big 3M respirator things. Wouldn't do it with anything less.

Re: Nitro spraying advice
They don't deal with aerosol droplets though, same reason why we now know they're not as effective for covid protection as its also transmitted as an aerosol

Re: Nitro spraying advice
Also using the 3m large fumes rated masks. Only way to go.

Re: Nitro spraying advice
Thing is 3M make a whole bunch of respirators with different model numbers. What do you guys use specifically? I'm looking for a half-face at this point as I've got eye protection already.

Re: Nitro spraying advice
Hi, not nitro related but polyurethane related.
After spraying the gloss colour coat, do I need to spray a clear coat, please?
