okay I am new here so if figure a little backtrack.. I have been trying to make cars look better and go faster since i could reach the peddles. Got into collision repair & refinishing bizz about 10 years ago... A buddy came to me with a busted up door
that he could'nt afford the $1800 bucks to fix it so he asked me to help him out..
to make a long story endless i have two guns. The good one is a sata jet nr95 hvlp siphon feed gun that I bought new 10 years or so ago the other is a brand new el cheapo walmart non hvlp gravity feed gun. I got all my body work done primerd the door
spent about 4hrs blocking primer (thinking the whole time oh boy this is going to be easy one ) Got out the old sata jet tor her down cleaned and lubed her real good. Laid down the base coat. Let it cure, shot it with clear. came out kinda rough figured "well it will lay down." three coats and an hour later it looked like my 8 year old daughter painted it for me with a bed coating gun. well 5hrs
of wet sanding later got it smooth enough to re coat. this time i I used the walmart elcheapo ( out of desperation ) and it came out flawless. What gives?? is the sata just plain worn out??
