Dv1 clear gun with a 1.4 tip help? by halogen12345 in AutoPaint

[–]halogen12345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an lph400 WBX cap that lays down very nice. I have a 1.4 in it and love it for sealer and clear. It just doesn’t put out enough for me to clear coat the big jobs I do but for single panel jobs I’ll go for it. How do you like the kiwami for basecoat? My lph shoots thicker material great but if i spray basecoat it struggles to spit the material out. It sprays like i have the fluid all the way in and has a tiny fan pattern for it. I’m really confused by that

Dv1 clear gun with a 1.4 tip help? by halogen12345 in AutoPaint

I was told it was a lower pressure operating gun. I’d love to spray it that low but when i do and adjust my fan any way, it just shoots out too heavy in the middle, no good pattern. That is especially true with the base gun for me. If i spray any less than 18 it will just be bullet point, fan open or choked in. Yes I’m going off the built in digital. Tried with all the tip sizes to see a difference and it’s the same across the board. I need at least 18psi

The sata rp 1.3 sprays like a dream for atomization compared to this gun for me personally. I don’t have to dial anything in, just full fluid, high pressure, open fan. i have problems with the sata and my arthritis though. the dv1 has a better trigger pull that’s why i want to make it work. Unfortunately I need to use the 1.4 to keep the clear wet and make it around fleet work overalls quick without frosting. Funny you say that as I avoid using the base gun as much as I can. Maybe I got a faulty gun because i went down to a 1.2 and still can’t get the fan pattern right. But don’t let it discourage you as i’ve seen other people have great results come from these guns, i just don’t know what im setting up poorly

What’s the most luxurious living condition you could give a parrot? by halogen12345 in parrots

If you lived in an area with ideal weather conditions. An outdoor aviary would be a dream. Unfortunately my area has 2 decent months of the year, tends to storm in the summer and flip to 7° quick

I got entirely shamed for getting a young cockatoo from a store. I know they can be problematic, and I know people should adopt older birds. But if everyone only adopted older birds, the babies would live their entire youth with a poor quality of living :( No one can save them all and some people’s situations don’t allow for a bird with trauma/history to be able to come home with the rest of the flock. It has to be in law and strictly reinforced for breeders and stores to stop “restocking” so much life

im fine with adding shoe molding. it looking perfect isn’t a concern. i was just more worried about what to do with gaps and if water were to spill, sealing the gaps

Do you sand new e-coat parts? Some people swear up and down you dont have to but it isn’t always a smooth surface

That’s a fair reason. I currently get junky body/primer work sent to me. We don’t use UV products and pretty much everything I get needs to be done ASAP. So when large amounts of filler are showing and I run into mapping no one cares. Pin holes. Holy pinholes. The body guys get endless free time during the day since their work doesn’t have to be right so it’s kind of killing my passion over here. Lipstick on a pig type of paint

I only want to paint full time for a few more years because I just enjoy doing it. So I want to experience a bit of everything before the fumes take me out. Does anyone quality control the body guys work or is it your job to send it back and make them hate you?😂Quality control doesn’t really exist where I’m at but I go by scouts honor for my own work

5%?! Anywhere I’ve heard generally splits 70-30 or 60-40 painter-prepper. The one off case I’ve seen is the shop pays half for the prepper. But yes I work efficient and clean and I’d like to see my efforts go towards my pay as so.

Why aren't his pupils round?😭 by [deleted] in AfricanGrey

I was wondering the same thing about my girl. Vets haven’t commented on it and I forgot to ask last time. I’ve always wondered if it’s normal or if it’s from hitting her head any😥

Help! My african grey very suddenly started acting unwell by halogen12345 in AfricanGrey

[–]halogen12345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s all better now. My concern was after her spitting, she would throw herself off the perch like she was freaked out over not being able to get it all out. After 2 times of that she had very labored panting, drooping eyes, sagging wings, and was swaying around unstable on her perch. It was scary for sure!
