Thread: Wrinkling Base coat

Tweet

dody,
most all shops have turned to using BC/CC = Base Coat / Clear Coat systems.
They are Acrylic Uerathane Base Coat systems and require the use of a HVLP or LVLP paint guns . initals stand for :
High Volume Low Presure or Low Pressure Low Volume .
These guns have excellent paint transfer meaning more goes on the vehicle then in the air and use less paint .UNlike spraying lacquer because this product requiers a high air pressuer to spary , more paint goes in the air then on the car , or over spray , which in turn it causes a high VOC content level ( VOC = Volatile Organic Compounds = the over spary they create is what is killing the Ozone )
.
The base is very fast covering 3 coats is all the vehicle needs , and the clears today are called High Solids , require 2 coats as they are very thick mixed for spraying .
Never spray with out using the correct spray masks !!!!!!!
They are easy to spray and repair , excellent chemical resistance after 30-90 days of full cure time .
These clears are easy to buff , even though they have excellent gloss right out of the gun .
The BC/CC has excellent color hold out from sun fade as they are chemically formulated with UV protection .
Try doing a google search on PPG , Dupont , Sherwin Williams, Spies Hecker, Sikkins, galserut BC CC systems to get a better idea.
The Sikkins and Glaseurt are From your part of the world .
These products are easy to use and learn , but expensive is the draw back as they all have their own required Primer Surfacers , and Primer Sealers. Usually no lift cycle on these products when repairs are needed.
I had this all typed out once and it didnt post as I got logged out because I took to long in posting , as I was playing Ball with my dog .....LOL

Hope this give some insight on todays painters products used today .
