You can get acrylic enamel for about the same price at a paint store, it is one coat and does not need to have clear coat over the top. The paint you are using is a lacquer with fast evaporating reducer pre-mixed. For me, base-clear is very time consuming due to the number of applications involved. I prefer one-step paint and I am partial to acrylic urethane enamel, it is one step with a hardener.
Even if you are not down to bare metal, it is wise to use a primer/sealer. Also use the same manufactures products to include primer, paint, clear and reducer. I've seen people use the most expensive Ditzler/PPG, but use cheap reducer and the result was an expensive awful result. Temperature/humidity are very important factors and you need to use the correct reducer. i.e.: fast, slow, or medium depending on those conditions. Under ideal conditions like 75 degrees and around 45 to 65 percent humidity, you could even paint your car with spray paint from cans and if care is taken, it would be as good if not better than most shops could do. Just remember your work area and surface to be painted needs to be clean, clean, clean, and clean!
sweetness, i actually got the TCP global paintgun kit, includes 3 guns and a bunch of accessories. good overall kit. wish i could find some good paint places around here that i could buy affordable paint from. i might have to go back to TCP for paint, they have gallon Base/Clear kits for 200-300$. cant wait for part 2!
@Johnnysshop yea, i know the 2-3 hundred price tag is still kinda bad, but its a whole kit from base up. still need primer if ur shootin bare (i wont be) i have a quart of eastwoods black single stage urethane for practice before i pull the trigger on the full kit! only problem is with any paint, what it looks like on a computer screen is never what it looks like when you spray! lol i'll have to see if i can get some of this duplicolor to play with if i can find it that cheap!
I've painted a little before and I used this systems primer today on a perfectly sanded panel with the same gun I've used before that did a great job and I have to say this is some shit!. It clogged my gun up, it splattered, it laid down in a very rough manner in what should have been a glass coat (while wet). I'm taking the color and clear back and getting my money back I can believe I wasted 50 bucks on 2 cans of this shit primer that I'm gonna have to sand the shit out of before I coat with the primer I usually get from car quest.......DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP
my name is not susan patch I am her husband jerry, I bought a quat of duplicolor rust barrier gloss black I bushed it on full strength and it was gloss black I the sprayed my truck frame and it was thinned with duplicolor acitone when I sprayed it it came out flat black I called duplicolor and they told me it because of atimisation
Use sealer or primer before just spraying color you can cause the base to fry do to reactivation the product your covering

were you running a pressure regulator on your gun?
+RTdeluxe No, just at the tank. Having one on the gun is ideal!
Thats a nice gun.\
Chris Will 😂😂👍🏼
Just going to say the actual color coat is good the primer is not good and the clear coat isn’t that good either

I must have gotten lucky. I've heard other horror stories regarding the paint as well.
Me Too, I spray enamel and urethane easier than this stuff
Mmm. Same! I know old comment, but i reduced with acetone, 50/50. Works fine then...

Yeah, it's cheap for a reason I suppose...
Horrible video, do you have to repeat everything two or three times?
Do not buy this. Great concept, terrible results.
I thought I’d spend more for this but in reality I should have just used rustoleum topside.
MC i have had nothing but great results from it! Read the directions on the can and turn gun down!
This paint results are horrible. Comes out with very rough finish.
