Is really the best upvc coating on the market

In our experience Phil, a compressor and fine finish spraygun is a much better option with 2k than a turbine hvlp. Also a smaller needle size will help.

What size...1.3?

[@wecolouritall]

@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator 1.3 is ideal for 2k buddy

[@patrickcrusader6976]

I use renner pvc coating ..
2k is much easier to bring on.
Renner is also available in the UK

I preferred the first few seconds without the mask. Hopefully helpful feedback 😁

Noted!

On the air hose you have an adjuster to reduce the air flow… did you add this yourself if so where do you get one? I’ve an Apollo pro which is great but would be nice to reduce the air at times.. the newest model you can dial down the pressure but previous you couldn’t…

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

It all came with the QT5.
I'm sure you should have one, or is it on the gun already?

[@Colwray1]

@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator no the Apollo doesn’t have one unfortunately so you can’t control the airflow …. The newer model they have brought out has an air control / power control built in the turbine but the original 1500s pro didn’t

Can't help with the finish I'm afraid but at that quantity getting 10% is really pot luck. I would measure the same volume of paint ,thinner and hardener, then weigh them with a set of drug scales. If they are close to the same weight then mix by weight. The bigger the mix the less problem there is mixing by volume but even recipes mix by weight for the accuracy Phil, cheers
