OR INFORMATION ON HOW TO DO - SPRAY A FLAKE JOB
never flatten out flake if you want it to sparkle form all angles------biggest mistake most people make w/ flake it to lay it flat!!!!!!!!!Originally posted by sabre@Jul 24 2003, 04:36 PM
and flatten out the flake better and still atomize well first ..
i wouldn't want to flaten the flake i would rather leave alot standing up and bury the shit with clear.........think about it if you have a bunch of BIG pieces of glitter.............for example.........Originally posted by sabre@Jul 25 2003, 01:36 AM
You could also try ,,
I keep the pressure right up and wind the fluid feed right in only about 2 turns out ,, Sometimes this gives you a bit more control with a 1.8-2.0 nozzle and allows you to wet it up and flatten out the flake better and still atomize well ,, just a bit different technique.. Maybee try out a little test panel first ..
i have a question when you say high presure--how high do you mean?????in p.s.i please????Originally posted by sabre@Jul 28 2003, 04:05 PM
Sorry SWITCHCRAFT ,, bUt did you read my second post ,, LOL ,, The first desription I gave was meant to say to get the clear flattened out NOT THE FLAKE I didn't explain ,, write properly ,,
If you BOTHERED to read my second post it actually desribed how it stabilizes the flake STANDING UPRIGHT better than any other method and still get your clear FLAT because the more even application,,
Lower pressure will flaten flake more than high pressure ..
Instead of takin sides why don't you go try It and then tell me how you made out ..:biggrin:
see that is not that high of a pressure-----i use the same pressure but i use a binx #7---i always have the compressor all the way up and then cut it at the gun w/ a pressure gauge-- however i have a trick for flake on the last pass-------the trick helps to get some flake standing in all angels and will then be partially covered w/ straight clear and the rest cut off when wet sanded--you get lots of shine this way------peaceOriginally posted by sabre@Jul 29 2003, 03:50 PM
I use a conventional high pressure debilviss JGA fo flake and use this on 45PSI at the gun with a gauge,, which is what it is rated for .. My gun I use for b/c is an Iwata w400 which takes much more air but is set on 41PSI at the gun ,,... each gun uses a different PSI and CFM and needs to be set accordingly ..
THOSE PICS ARENT TOO GREAT, RICHEE WINS BEST FLAKE AND PAINT AT SHOWS, WHY ARE YOU BEING AN ASS ABOUT HIS PAINT FOR?Originally posted by sabre@Jul 31 2003, 09:15 PM
This is a candy .. !! You can see that some of the flake are lying over each other and others are spread right appart with almost nothing in between ..
and I don't notice it sparkling on every angle ..??????? only where the light hits it ..
In the first photo you can even see down the side of the car in the darker area ,, close to the light where it is uneven and caused darker and lighter spots which looks like blotching and uneven application ..
Nice patterns though ..!!
exactly the point---those shots are at "in-direct" light---------i will give you a shot when i get one w/ direct light--------it will blind you----the entire car is covered w/ flake and there is not spaces in between---o and by the way the flake will not sparkle unless light hits it in some way-----------and ya i do win best flake are patterns at alot of shows-----------peaceOriginally posted by sabre@Jul 31 2003, 05:15 PM

I DO BRO-------I JUST THINK IT'S FUNNY HOW PEOPLE USING "NEW" TECHNIQUES ALWAYS THINK THAT IT IS BETTER THAN THE OLD WAY----JUST BECAUSE MAYBE IT IS FASTER OR SOMETHING--HAHAHHAA---------NO BEEF BRO---PEACE :biggrin:Originally posted by OrangeCounty58@Jul 31 2003, 05:40 PM
you guys are crazy. different philosophies for different painters. i like the flake on the lincoln. the patterns are old school, not my flavor, but done really nice. a lot of work in a flake job, everyone has their idea of "right". do whatever works for you.![]()
