Ok, I'm a bit late on updates, but here's the situation. The Sea Doo is gelled, but we can't get paint from any of our usual methods. So the boss is taking the chunk that I cut out to another place to try to get some.
While I wait for that, I have another one with pretty much the same thing.
I still have a hard time with the pearl. That stuff is hard to see anyway, and it really doesn't help when it doesn't contrast with the base. Supervisor had to help me out a bit.
best sales people in my experience who worked for me over the years are people that do the work, know the work, believe in the work. It then is not selling, it is showing the obvious.
Sprayed, sanded, and started buffing today. I had trouble getting the shape right, so I black gelled my bodywork yesterday and blocked it out some more.
Have to give credit to Beave here. When I got to the flake, it just wouldn't come out of the gun. I got a few seconds of good spray, and managed to mostly cover the spot. He managed to get enough out to finish blending it.
I think it was because I didn't have enough fluids for the flake. Normally, I mix the clear how I want it, then add the flake. This time though, they didn't send much flake, so I poured it in a cup and added clear and acetone to it. I thought it was good, but there must have been clumps on the bottom that I didn't get mixed in well. It turned out well though.
Bonus, check out what the leftover clear did to the cup. Yeah, I way overestimated how much I would need.
We FINALLY sprayed the hull of that Caravelle that I posted about back when I first joined this forum.
This was my first time using the pressure pot gun. I can see why Beave used to go through a pair of boots every week when he was spraying molds way back when.
