Hot cans.

I (I'm sure others do too) heat up my cans before I spray. I let them sit in a bowl of hot/warm water so I get better pressure and it seems to make the spray finer.

RE: POST YOUR WORKS HERE!

I've heard of that! They say the hot water thins down the paint, and allows a smoother flow.
They claim you can get just as good of a base coat with a can as you with an airbrush, using the hot water method.
Myself, never tried it. Might have too!
Thanks for the input!

RE: POST YOUR WORKS HERE!

It definitely makes a difference....a lot less spitting

RE: POST YOUR WORKS HERE!

wouldnt it cause the can to burst?

RE: POST YOUR WORKS HERE!

If it's boiling water, yes, it will burst. But no one is that dumb to put a can in boiling water. Also, if you don't leave it in the hot water that long, it won't burst.

I don't think I cold have said it better myself. :D

RE: POST YOUR WORKS HERE!

how hot should the water be and how long? i might have to try this strat....

RE: POST YOUR WORKS HERE!

Turn on your sink faucet to hot let it heat up. I fill up a small bowl or cup and put the can in it. Let it sit for bout 5-10 mins.

RE: POST YOUR WORKS HERE!

ok thanks very much Calvin. once i paint my car i will let you know how it turns out!

BugattiFreak ,

Not sure what to tell you. I use a single-action Paasche brush and liquid mask. I draw the design on the outside of the body then cut the LM with a knife. Peal and paint.
