Your paintwork is stunning. Could you tell me how you get such perfect atomisation from your gun? The spray pattern looks perfect and when you spray it goes on super smooth with no orange peel! Any advice is greatly appreciated.
+SIRGAVALOT1 - thanks for the kind words. I have to admit that the camera is very forgiving. Also, when spraying curved surfaces like this little Porsche has, the end result is always a smoother finish than a vehicle with lots of flat surfaces (like a mid-60's Cadillac). Having said that, air volume is critical. Most shops actually starve their paint gun of air and don't even realize it. Having a consistent supply of clean, dry air is the most important component when spraying any high-solids paint with a modern paint gun. The new paint guns use air volume, instead of air pressure, to break up the paint in to the small pieces that float through the air and land on the surface - hopefully as smooth as possible. We use 1" diameter air line from the main trunk line of the shop air all the way to the regulator on the inside of the paint booth wall. Our filtration system (SATA brand) also does not restrict air flow like some other brands can tend to do. Other than that, its years of practice and making mistakes. Thanks again for digging the video. It was a really fun project to paint that little 356.
Thanks for the reply :) Ah I see so it really does make a big difference to have the maximum amount of air volume for atomisation. So when you set your gun up for spraying do you just look at your spray pattern and tune it by eye without setting a specific psi/bar/pound for the viscosity of the material you are spraying or do you spray test patterns onto a sheet? Would love to see more videos from you and maybe you could share some of your wisdom during them to teach some of us amateurs out here :)
I used a Sata 4000 RP 1.2 for that finish. It atomizes well. The curvy nature of that body helps keep the texture from being so obvious. Thanks for the kind words.
Nice work👍 You make it easy.
Very good job👍👍 i like painting porsches to✌✌
great sir 👌☕

I spray on a piece of masking paper on my wall to fine-tune the pattern, before applying anything to the vehicle. Please forgive the delayed response.
I've been thinking of just doing paint correction..but after seeing this i can't afford to half step lol
Ha! Thanks for the kind words. Take a full step, amigo...
Thanks!
pressure is what? and submission of material?
Amazing job my friend!Congratulations!Is this a Sata jet 90 or the 3000 ?
I used a Sata 4000 RP 1.2 for that finish. It atomizes well. The curvy nature of that body helps keep the texture from being so obvious. Thanks for the kind words.
PAINTHOUSE TV Thank you my friend!
That’s a sata 4000 he’s spraying clear with ?🤨 I’ve got two an they look nothing like that blue gun he is using to spray that clear
il colore che hai passato è opaco o lucido? il trasparente è lucido posso sapere?
What kind of gun is that?? Great move man
Its been a while, however, as I recall, its the Sata 4000 RP with a 1.2 tip. I use the 5000 - 1.2 now.
PAINTHOUSE TV awsome man yeah I use 5000 rp.1.3. personnally think sata are the best for clear
nice paintin man. what brand you usin???
I use PPG exclusively. My apologies for the delayed response. I did not get a notice that you had posted here. Thanks for the kind words as well.
PPG Deltron basecoat and Global 8152 Clear
did you use a 1.3 or 1.3 tip
For the clear applied in this video, I use a 1.2 tip in the Sata RP 4000 gun.
