Cheers, settings change on the gun depending on density of the paint, all you need is light mist, so the gun needs to be adjusted each time. The gun is hvlp with 1.0 jet , about 2 bar pressure.
How is the leather softening oil you apply at the end ever going to soak through all that paint and clear finish with hardener? This is the main issue with aftermarket painting of leather, it isn't nearly as soft as new leather and the cost of doing this isn't far off a retrim.
It looks like you have some knowledge about it, but you can belive or not, its not first job I did, with some leather paints it wouldnt make sense to apply leather oil after, but with Geist or Colourlock paints it simply works , done it many times and it does softens the leather nicely, I usually apply oil/conditioners until the leather gets back to a decent level of softness. I used paints from different brands and yes some paints will not let the oil/conditioner to be absorbed by the leather , so I wouldn't use them on leather that is dry/hard. That's my experience. When it comes to the cost of respray by me compared to a good quality retrimmig in my area ( with real leather ) , my cost is 1/3-1/4 of price of retriming. So its customers choice whether they want new or restored leather.
Looks good 🙏🏻 I’m doing my e30 convertible, with pacific blue leather upcoming summer. Why do you feed the leather after you’ve sealed it with filler, paint and topcoat? Why not feed the Leather beforehand, like, after sanding? In my humble opinion, the leather is more likely to absorb the conditioner deeper into the leather fibers.
@@xraylax the reason I am doing it after is that I would worry about proper adhesions of the new paint , overall it would be better to do it before , I am sourcing water based solution for that to use it before restoration.
@@OCDDetailing2021 Ah, that makes perfect sense. I might use 303 Aerospace protectant for that. After I use leather Honey to feed the leather. The 303 might just be enough to seal in the honey before paint. Would be great if you only have to use the 303 to keep the leather and synthetic top coat from drying out and cracking. But for now all this is still just a theory😅
