You'll rectify it no probs! Same happened to me recently with my Air Gunza, noticed a drip and my trigger fingers full of paint. A combination of loose screw and 1 packing gland sideways in it's chamber!! 😮😮 Is that Poly Primer nice to block? Cheers
What a bugger! It’ll be harder than a honeymooner by time I get around to blocking this round of Polyprimer (over a week sitting at the time of this comment) but it shouldn’t be too bad to rub up.
That's not to bad. I thought you were going to say the lid came of the gun when you were spraying over the car lol. Now that would be a disaster. Doing a great job as always. 👍👌👌
the packing gland is bigger in the 2.0 gun so if you swap the 1.8 needle in to it there will be a gap causing your leak i had a similar problem with a touch up gun it just needed a quarter of a turn to reseal it asit had worn once you sand it down the drips will smooth out happens to us all at sometime
Hi yeah, we all learn by mistakes I'm hoping when I block back this new Resto Finish Polyprimer White. it's going to be a lot easier to sand than U-Pol Reface Sprayable Polyester Filler. I used a 3 mil tip on U Pol Reface Sprayable Polyester Filler. I'll probably try my 1.9 if not I'll go with the 2.2 on Resto Finish Polyprimer. Great video
First couple of times I sprayed Polyprimer I used the 2.5mm tip, it was way overkill. 1.8mm-2.0mm much better in my experience. The only true polyester I’ve used was a PPG one and it was heaps harder to rub in comparison to the RestoFinish.
Packer not correctly adjusted or incorrect needle the gun will flutter or leak as you found out, it normally flutters due to sucking air around the packer, when your not spraying it can leak. Bugger.
2 coats will give you 0.2mm build I've found. as you know this stuff is great to block, those drips will rub out easily. it will really show up the bodywork 😂. I did one round with 120 and went holly hell. did a 2nd round and cut with 240. Coming along great!
It’s an awesome product. I’m a bit annoyed I had the pressure cranked up so high for the first coat due to the issues so a lot of it was just overspray 😆 4 coats is the recommended per application and having done that prior, you can sand that with 80 grit and still takes a while before you cut through! Second round of Polyprimer will be much better 👌🏼
hi mate why so much hi build poly then 3 more coats them wet on wet base clear way to much build for me. i hate to think what the microns thickness will be. best to spent a little more time on the body work first. less primer poly etc less chance of cracking that's just my opinion just some one who been in the trade for 40 years. good luck hope it all works out well keep up the hard work.👍👍
Just using the products the way they’re designed to be used. A lot of what I put on this round will be blocked off as I pick up anything that I’ve missed in the bodywork.
@@stevegus2845 that’s correct, but speaking with Lincoln from Melomotive he suggests 2k priming over the top as it’s easier to sand with the finer grits or applying 2K direct gloss in something close to your base colour over 320-500 sanded RestoFinish Polyprimer, letting that cure and essentially using that as your primer to wet rub before applying your base coat & clear coat.
Thanks cobber, the gland packing can cause all sorts of problems. A tiny bit of spray gun lube on the needle shaft and correctly tightened nut should sort it.👌
There’s a lot of factors in to what can make a product fail, not all are caused by user error I will admit, but that’s not something I’ve experienced with it, but I don’t stray from the recommended guidelines.
@@TheRestoShed Yeh I was doing every thing by the book. It’s just strange it happened in the same place on 3 different cars. Reduce cost money. Lucky one of the cars was mine
It’s definitely strange if it’s all happened on the same area as each other. I won’t even begin guessing where the issue lies because there’s so many factors that can make a product (any product) fail.
@@TheRestoShed Yeh I just took it on the chin and have moved back to standard high fill primers. I wanted to love resto finish because it has a lot going for it. Funny thing is a mate from a different resto shop warned me he was having cracking issues with it also

Not really a f%@# up. More like a learning experience. It's only primer. It will sand up.

Don't stress about it mate it's only primer, you can always get it looking nice with a little block work
Love ya work.!
Great work mate, looks great! Love the old HQ’s, it’s going to look awesome!
love your honesty mate, nice to see real content, always look forward to your vids, keep it up
Mate you are doing a great job don’t panic block it down and colour it you no what you’re doing 👍🏻 keep up the great content 👍🏻
Still a little while off colour but that’s the plan. Thanks for watching.
Great work, were is this product available. Im in sa too.
I get it directly through Melomotive, can source it locally in Adelaide if need be though.
That's not to bad. I thought you were going to say the lid came of the gun when you were spraying over the car lol. Now that would be a disaster. Doing a great job as always. 👍👌👌
That’ll happen next time now that you’ve said that 🤣
@@TheRestoShedNah you'll just be double checking the lid now. 🧐

Yep it happens every now and then, not the first time and probably won’t be the last! Lol
Even your fck ups look good!

Okay gun set not good..next time don't wipe it off.let primer dry scrap of with razor blade
.
Its only a primer high build why worry about some drips? The wors thing you can do is try to whip them off. The primer has to be sanded anyway.
Don’t stress mate you will sort it 👍👍
No doubt about it. Thanks for watching.
its looking great ... as for that minor issue it will block out that product is great stuff !!
Very true mate. I’m more annoyed at the lack of footage if anything.
Easy fix, it's going to look great anyway👍

Second round of Polyprimer will be much better 👌🏼
Feel your pain .. that’s a huge job to poly the whole car .. maybe less stress and do it in 3-4 sections ..
Yes I know, just personal preference to do the first round over the whole car in one go, this one just battled me 😆

all good mate i just don't like polyester been used@@TheRestoShed
Can you go to coler over this primer pol ? I would go to a high bild ppg primer Gray. And straight to bass and clear.
@@mansourjreige677 Yes, you can colour directly over this product. this is high build. no need for another high build.

I reckon it was too loose and then too tight! Lol
Nipped it in the butt at the end though.
@@TheRestoShed grease the needle
Good show, thank you
Thanks for watching.
Block block block.
"promosm" 😎
At least its in the prep work mate and not final colour. We all learn from little mistakes. Been there myself with packing nut issues.
Use upol metal to metal the best thunder road auto body.
Packing glands always go in those guns ive had problems with everyone ive used
Yeah okay, I’ve never had an issue until now with them.
At least it isn't a major stuff up.
Ah great tip. I have the same Iwata AZ3 in 1.8 and was looking to get a 2.5 so I will be sure to learn from that and not mix up needles.
They’re fantastic spray guns for the money.
Looking good, got me 2 to do ones in primer a z and an x
Thanks for watching
I have used resto finish on 3 different jobs and it has cracked right in the middle of roof on every single job.
I don’t want to risk using it again
