[cute wee gem]

Found some Debeer gold pearl, anyone had experience with this?, Last pearl job I did one of the panels had slightely more pearl in it (painted it off the car)

I think I just need to concentrate harder and try be consistant

[avenger79]

liquid or powder?..never tryed debeer,dont plan too

[cute wee gem]

How come?, liquid

[avenger79]

how come i dont use debeer?????

never been on there system,mainly on spies were i am.and well spies is AWESOME paint

[cute wee gem]

Oh ok, well I'm using Debeer paint aswell, I did the Colt in it and I liked it especially compared to the rancid resene stuff I used on the Corolla

So yeah, had experience in liquid powder?, any specific mixing rates or whatever?, panelbeater mixed my pearl up last time so I have no idea

Cheers

[avenger79]

depends what you want

[cute wee gem]

I want it to be seen easily (the gold) but don't want it over-done..

Dont want it to stand out this much

But I want it to stand out more than this

I'll just mix it up a little at first, then add more into another coat etc? - Just mix the clear up like normal and put some in or mix in lots of thinners or what?

Thats where I'm lost, because the pearl on the colt seemed like just thinners + the pearl

[avenger79]

extremely hard to tell you without knowing the product,mixing ratios etc

but yuh.a bit at a time,itl get darker

[cute wee gem]

All good, I'll just ask the panelbeater, can't wait eh - getting my paint priced up atm

[lowlancer]

Crazu how much darker paint goes eh. At first I was like, wtf, way too light, looks retarded in comparison, but now, bout a week later, looks way better

[avenger79]

jesus...what the fcuk paint have you got haha

[lowlancer]

Just some shit laquer

Maybe my shit eyes.

[Raizer]

Yeah the paint we used on the back doors of my van went on all yellowy,a week or 2 later it went to the green it was ment to be

[P_Star]

hey all whats the paint to thinners ratio for a spraying enamel?? um it is ppg if that helps. some crappy stuff. doesn't have a ratio on it grr

[lowlancer]

Enamel on a car? Is that right?

[P_Star]

Yeah i bought it ages ago for a landrover i was gonna do....

if it aint gonna work let me know so i can avoid a big fuckup

[cute wee gem]

Can't be specific.. but is it just single, i.e no hardeners?

If so I'd say about 15%, from what I've experienced anyway.

[P_Star]

Yeah I guess so... all the guy sold me was the paint and primer. im sure if there was any hardener or anything he woulda whacked that on top.

so 15% paint yeah?

soorry me = complete no00b at this shit
