Hey Paul, a very enjoyable and interesting video along with the more technical voiceover made it a good watch, these days I can understand the more technical side of the job. When I worked I used to hate it when the boss came over and said this has to go today or we need x amount of panels made by Friday🙄 I used to be a vacuum and injection moulder making the outer panels for MRI Scanners, I made the computer screens/bezels plus the panels that fitted in the tunnel of the scanner so these had to be spotless and have the correct gloss on them, as you know if you have a glossy mould then the panel coming out of it will also be glossy that is the nature of gel coat so I had to spray my moulds with a matting agent using a normal spray gun so more coats means a less glossy product, any tiny defect in the panel and it was scrap as nothing could be repaired even a tiny pin hole would scrap it so if the gloss level was off the boss flipped his lid🤭 I had a gloss meter which gave me a figure as to the gloss level and they were checked afterwards, it was an interesting and well paid job but could be stressful at times. Mate I better shut up as I'm running on again😁I could go on for hours about my job as I loved it👌
@JohnWD40TC02 dude that's awesome, it sounds a little like making carbon fibre parts. They had to take care of the moulds and they checked the gloss level after I had applied the satin clear coat. 😎
Thank you for making this very informative video! Could you please answer a brief question/clarification? The annotation in your video shows you spraying base coat with a 1.2 at 29 psi and then clear with a 1.3 at 26 psi. Is this correct? Thank you.
@midnighttutor yes, come to think of it, it does seem backwards. The 1.2 used to be a clear coat gun that I now use for base coat. And my new clear coat gun is a 1.3 because they don't offer a 1.2 but the atomization is so fine it leaves a perfect plat factory peel in the clear coat.
In North America under hood and under doors barely have paint. I'm not in the booth everyday. We all do our jobs start to finish. I can go over a month between booth time.
@@paulphillipspaintwork We had painters and body, body guys took over painting. We do too many things outside of paint. We do a lot of fabrication and welding.
@glen4407 wow I wish I could fabricate and weld, I do often feel like because "I am good at painting" and very consistent most places don't let me out of the booth lol so I miss out on learning things like that.
@refinishtechnology2529 mostly because I am an employee and absolutely no say in what paint we use. But I did pack up my kit and move to a shop that's on the almighty Spies Hekker 🤘

@paulphillipspaintwork why you spraying that PPG junk -- and not spraying glasurit / spies hecker / standox / sikken / debeer

@@HRob73 👍👍
do you use a DIN cup to measure viscosity for clear coat?
@lutra7670 never lol. It was more of a thing at college but now we just follow the mixing ratio and is always good enough.
