Spraying 2K acrylic

[mike os]

wet on wet is OK for paints with the same base & solvent..... if the manufacturer recommends or approves

dont think 2k over acrylic wet is a good idea

if you lay it on right cant see why you would have to key it.

its not a good idea to go wet on wet with different types of paint even if both are 2k as the base materials are obviously different and could well have different curing rates.
and for the time saved is it worth the risk of wasting paint and possibly having to re-flat the full job

I did the painting a little while back now, did´nt do it wet-on-wet though.
Primer

Then after a few touch ups and keying the primer, i sprayed the paint. Dont have a pic of all the pieces though because i started putting them on the car pretty soon after they were dry

Although the paint was good i would prefer not using 2K products...at least not in the conditions i work in, primarily because it´s so dangerous but another fact is that cleaning the gun etc is quite a bit more difficult.

Also i would like your opinion on this product: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e..._trkparms=algo=LVI&its=I&otn=2&category=34999
Would order it from ebay because this kind of a product is quite more expensive in the country i live.

Try and get one with 1/2" fittings for more flow,especially if you are using a HVLP gun.
You can allways put in adaptors to come down a size but cant very well go the other way.

Im not using a HVLP gun...actually i tryed going with lower pressure as some suggested, but the paint didnt even want to come out of the gun, so i guess the gun specs were right that the pressure needs to be between 4-5 bars.
Orderd it already so i guess we´ll see
