Default Re: Which gun to buy

Tried it!

First I coated a test pieces but that metal was more oily than i though, so I had holes in the finish. TOTALLY my fault, didnt want to start the compressor for blasting.

Second I took a pieces I had coated successfully with my old gun, same mirror white from ptbp (I want to make sure ive got the hang before coated 900+$ turntables)
I tried shooting my clear with flakes and pearl in it. It didnt want to stick to it all that well. It stuck to some place and not to others seemingly randomly.
The powder does not flow and stick like in the hypersmooth video.
Heres a pic of it before cure. I put in more pearl blue so we can see the difference.


See how it sticks in places, and not to others

A bigger pic is located here:

Im now wondering about ground surface area and also about Pbtp powders. Ive tried 2 mirror colors from them and they've been the hardest to get right (OP, bad attraction to part).
I did not have any luck with clears and second coats so far.
