Thread: Flames, flakes, shimrin base coats

To spray a .004 flake, what size tip? My primer gun has a 1.8, touch up 1.0 and spray gun 1.3.

I use a 1.6 for mini flake, a 1.8 for the ordinary stuff and i have a 2.5 tip for the big glowble stuff, i usually put it on at around 20-25psi otherwise it can bounce.

I have one of those dry guns which i think are rubbish, very messy

I wonder if I can get a 1.6 for a touch up gun? Might be alttle easier to spray the cage with a smaller gun. How many coats of color and clear do you have on your frame? Its awesome. And by the way your T you are building with the stainless frame is a work of ART

Thanks, for the Help. Still more questions
I will most likely be useing House of Kolor.
What is a good clear they sell I need to use for a novice painter? By the time I get ready about 2 weeks, the temp should be in the 60's to 70's?
Is UC35 good?

I dig this car It might be easier to flake the whole car, then paint the cage and flames white What ya think?

I personally don't like the HOK lacquer.
