There is no doubt that y...Thanks very much Dennis! There is no doubt that you are making excellent progress and will indeed "get there". I use a very unique spray system that is rare in automotive circles, but gaining in popularity in the "underground". It is a turbine HVLP system made by TP Tools in Ohio. I have an old post that briefly describes it here:<br /><br />http://1970boss302.blogspot.com/2010/11/engine-bay-is-primed.html<br /><br />I have been using my 1.4mm tip for the PPG primer (perfect for it) and tried it with the SEM Rust Shield with lackluster results. If I ever shoot the SEM again, I will try my large 1.8mm tip, but THat really hoses the material on and I am doubtful I will like it much. The trick to turbine spray systems is that you must use a bit more reducer as the air it delivers is very dry, filtered and warm, which combine to cause very rapid flash-off of the solvents if you don't offset it with reducer.<br /><br />The 3M PPS system is very similar to the DeVilbiss DeKup system, but I don't think the DeKup system has a pressurized cup version which the turbine systems require. But, the DeKup system is a ton cheaper and works very well on compressor gun systems to be sure. I would recommend the investment in a system that isolates the paint from the air in any case and gets you away from the spills, waste and shooting position restrictions that gravity or siphon guns impose. Plus, cleanup is a ton easier!SW Pruetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833091216176215652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362925166950770245.post-14182314415086944762013-02-09T11:19:47.845-05:002013-02-09T11:19:47.845-05:00You know it Alex!

The only place I ever had any isse is where the ZR got very thin and the solvents in the DPLF primer started to soften the ZR. Everywhere else, it's solid as can be. The SEM Rust Shield didn't seem to care in any case and I attribute that to the hardener. The SEM was MUCH harder to spray however.SW Pruetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833091216176215652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362925166950770245.post-58720814252670924392013-02-09T11:16:44.386-05:002013-02-09T11:16:44.386-05:00Thanks Grant.

As you know, paying for a finish and paint job is big $$$$ and I am struggling.

I need to check out the PPS cup system. I'm guessing it's similar to the DeKups system. Excellent progress! You'll be hanging doors and fender panels before you know it.deo1929https://www.blogger.com/profile/06637879831843277574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362925166950770245.post-86207698159450654722013-02-09T04:35:11.726-05:002013-02-09T04:35:11.726-05:00There's nothing like a fresh coat of primer! ...There's nothing like a fresh coat of primer! I like your comparison of the various products. That should save some people some time and hassle in the future. I was pretty happy with the interaction between ZeroRust and DPLF but usually, it was in areas that wouldn't be seen (under the car) so maybe I just wasn't looking close enough. <br />A.
