Hi , when you apply the base coat do you do that in one hit or let it dry for a bit than apply second coat of base coat and each time you apply enough coat of base coat do you need to put more base coat blender on, thanks
Hi, thanks for the question. Cromax Pro is developed to use in a 1.5 coat continuous process with no flash needed between coats. With regard to the blender you apply that first and whilst it is still open/wet immediately apply your basecoat to the repair. In these repairs we apply the basecoat in a light effect coat to the widest area to create the blend and then apply subsequent coats wet on wet inside of the first to create the blend.
How do you like the ls400 for the cromax base coat? Do you always use 1.5 bar. Or do you use 2 bar when using blender and high metallics?
The LS400 is one of a number of suggested sprayguns we have listed for use with Cromax pro. In Europe the preferred set up is OBS.
I tried this spraying from the outside in with the blender and got a ring 😑and is the blender suppose to look milky?Do you spray the blender around the repair area but not on it?
The trick is to not spray the first blending coat to wet or heavy. You are using this to make the blend so spray thin and closed. The blender looks a little milky when wet due to the presence of water.
So do you use the color blender first that you spray or do you use the basecoat first then the color blender last.
When using the blender it is applied first so that it helps capture the basecoat overspray.
hi, one question, for which colors is the blender important?, thanks
I use the blender for all colours except dark colours where it is not necessary
Hey there great video. So you don’t need to use blender even if there’s some metallic in the formula of a darker colour.? Like Chrysler code pxj for example
Hi, there are a couple of occassions where the use of blender is not recommended. These are with dark colours or where you are trying to keep the repair as small as possible i.e. spot repair.
@@CromaxEMEA are you referring to dark colours in general? Or only dark solid colours with no metallic?
The use of blender is not necessary for darker colours in general as shown here. Thanks for the question.
Hi when you apply the blender did add any hardener .Thanks
No, the blender is in most cases designed to be used directly from the can after a short shake.
What's the air pressure on the dark car without blender? 2 bar?
It is 1.5 bar :D
Never apply base at 2 bar (30psi)
Anywhere from 1- 1.5 bar for almost any base coat applications.
Around 2 bar for clear coat.
@@CromaxEMEA You use lower presure for blending process ,lower than spraying standard procedure for whole panel ,isn't it?
Can you tell me what the difference is between the WB2091 and the WB2093? And is it ready to use right out of the can?
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. Both WB2091 and WB2093 are blenders and are to be applied as part of the blending process when using Cromax Pro. The difference between them is that they are adapted to suit different climatic conditions with WB2093 being especially suited to low humidity conditions. Normally this would be in conjunction with high temperatures but low humidity can also occur in cold, dry winter conditions so it's always a good idea to check your climate before making your product choice. If in doubt refer to the TDS and the Climate Guide within.
@@CromaxEMEA do you apply it right out of the bottle? Or do you add the 2040 for example?
The blenders are designed to be used directly from the can after giving them a short shake.
@@CromaxEMEA great, thanks!
💯👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
So no need for drop coat?
As in a blending job we work outside-in, starting in the widest area, this automatically is light coat applied in an arching mode finalizing in a 1,5 coat.
@@CromaxEMEA i see the official cromax data sheet suggests going the other way?: www.rali.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Cromax-Pro-Basecoat-NZ.pdf sheet 5?
i see pros and cons for each. blend 1st means the blend is sitting in the fresh (wet) blend coat and blend last means a single blanket coat with no interior halo areas
@@CromaxEMEA with no flash times? (great im solvent looking to go water) and 1.5 coats is enough to cover?
