We tend to favour using a 'fluffy' roller - paintman.co.uk/shop/roller-kit-coach-enamel/ . It is always recommended to lay off your paint with a brush with any coach enamel paint to get an extremely flat finish. We still mix ours to the highest quality which ensures the great lay off time. :)

We would suggest prepping the surface til it's smooth and you are happy with it. Then using adhesion promoter, then filler primer and then finally a topcoat. paintman.co.uk/applying-coach-enamel-to-fibreglass/

If you are spraying with our ultraspeed, you have a 20 minute flash off time, so you can wait 20 mins and re-coat! If you wait longer than this you will need to wait the full 24 hours to denib and then re-coat. If you are using coach enamel it is recommended you wait the full 24 hours.

@@paintmanpaint perfect thank you 👍

Clear coat is optional with our 1k paint, you get a high gloss finish from the top coat. Clear coat is beneficial to add a layer of protection from weather and extreme use.

@@paintmanpaint thank you for reply, will just apply an clear coat on mine then :)

You would need to prep first! :)

Yep on this we did 2 coats. We used the ultraspeed paint - we put a coat on, gave it a 20 min flash off time and then did another coat! :)

Glad you found it useful! :)

Hi yep we are aware of laying off brushes, and I know you can get absolutely great finishes with them. This is a video displaying our products in use and you can use our high quality brushes to lay off with great results! :)

Hi! You want around 40psi, you would ideally want a tip of 1.4 - 1.6. We use a 1.5 tip here! :)

Also, I've learned the hard way, ensure you have sufficient flow rate for your gun measured in CFM. HV is high volume and that means air volume delivered to the gun to atomise the paint. Without this you'll likely get orange peel. If it requires 14 CFM at the gun you need to account for loses from the compressor through the valves, oil/water separator, line and connectors - go for the high flow connectors. Or, go for a LVLP spray gun designed for small low capacity compressors.

At 4:51 it shows a video & photo of how it looks flattened out where there are absolutely no brush marks left in the paint. Check out our Instagram for more photos of our customers amazing finished projects @paintmanpaint . If you are struggling to get a flat finish, you could add brushing additive which extends the wet edge time, or possibly a small bit of thinner (5%).

Silly comment

I'm curious that you think so. Perhaps you have only ever painted in the ideal setup. If however you are working in a confined space (any enclosed environment with poor air exchange) and wearing suitable RPE for high VOC paints, such as 2 pack urethanes, you will get drips from the mask exhaust onto any surface you are working over. Given that this video is focused on finish coats why would it be silly to avoid drips onto a moisture sensitive coating? Either you like inhaling isocyanates, or repairing your topcoat. Naturally any VOC coating should mandate responsible PPE. Likewise not all coatings are so sensitive to salty water drips when wet. Granted is was intended to highlight the lack of PPE. There is however no excuse for it's absence especially as this is presented by a business that has a legal requirement protect employees from W.E.L. above background whether in the US or Europe. For everyone else doing the odd job it is still important as the effects of chemical exposure can be severe. Let's chalk this up as a silly comment and then watch that video on the train crash over by.. vynil chloride etc. Just in case there is a rebuff of it being a single pack paint.. if the solvent is not solely water then it's not good for you.

@@alistercarmichael4990 I don’t wear a respirator when spraying. I find it too cumbersome and distracts from achieving the best finish. As long as you step outside post job and inhale plenty of fresh air as this will allow your lungs to remove any toxins before they can harm your body

@@Jontyfarmer

As long as it doesn't shed and it's not your favourite... haha.

@@paintmanpaint Mark of a careful professional, really

Any good quality brush can be used to lay off really! :)
