Ok you two Spielberg wanna bee's I have an idea for you

How about showing what The difference's between Medium wet and full wet is supposed to look like?
Then what Medium light is supposed to look like

I bet a whole bunch of Noobs would be interested in seeing that done right!

I bet every one has a diffrent idea of what each should look like.


Is it even possible to show the diffrent spay patterns with the cameras you guys have?

Problem is that will be hard to show on camera, it will look shiny either way, full or medium coat.

Are you referring to basecoat or clearcoat?

I guess it's possible to do that, I can see what I can do. A close up might be able to illustrate the difference....I guess if I'm get critisized on 101 for applying my base to wet ya must be able to tell .

ya jimmo is a hoser aint all canadians just ask odg i.. on the otherhand show the perfect way to shoot base but i aint one of them book lurnd punks either an jimmo dont take this the wrong way i really am trying ta help ya

Try making videos of the different types of blends
I have been taught alot of different types of blends and it really helped me to see them.

lol, nelson, im not sure wether to belivbe you or not lol

Jimmo & Bondo

Way back in the day A guy I knew told me about useing water in the spray gun and spraying it out on a chalkboard to practice with so you could see the pattern.
Of misting it on. I thought then BS But now after thinking about making this post it kinda makes sense to be able to show it. of course water and paint would spray totally different.

I was just reading my Tech sheets and thought this one up I have my own idea of what all these things should look like just wondering if you could show on video what you think it should look like.

I'm not so sure there is a real definition of how wet a coat should be.

It changes from product to product. Brand to brand it seems.

I've shot things that you had to hose on to get absolutely any coverage at all.
And I've shot things that would mottle if you tried to even go half as far.
It also changes a bit with different colors, metallics, and pearls.

Sure there is a basic idea as to what you're looking for while shooting.

And you could probably make a basic "Starting point".
But I only see people following it too closely and getting in trouble.

This would be really helpful. I give a lot of credit to Bondo and Jimmo for helping me get up to speed quickly by just watching the techniques. I had some real issues with laying my base coat because the first coat went on too dry, I then had to pick it up in the next coats (still had issues with pearl not laying nice in overlap areas like door jams where you get an extra coat when you do the outside). I would also love to see a full instructional video on gun set up (some of us are visual learners). I had switched over to a desicant dryer on my gun (Iwata LPH 400) and it killed the water, but also killed the air volume. Chuking the dryer for a cheapo orange filter made all the difference in the world to the spraying. No water, lots of volume. Now that I have a feel for it, I should be good, but a video would be better.

I watched Bondo shooting his beloved bumper covers just before heading out to the garage to shoot my car...great stuff.

Spray patterns would be good, cleaning booth would be good, general technique, anything you can think of to improve quality.
