hi guys
So watching Richy's idea of the tire gel from a HVLP gun was just amazing. My question is can we shoot Cquartz UK from a gun and buff off as normal the reason i ask is cause, we all know that what takes the longest when coating is the application part!!! i know Opti-Coat you can spray from a gun as seen in this link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yyo_-UA8yM4can we do the same with Cquartz? or even maybe Reload?

I know Barry Theal has done it with Americoat. I actually bought an HVLP gun to use for it to try that method but never did as the downside to it is that method uses a lot more product. I didn't want to charge more than what I am now for it so I never ended up using that method. As far as the CQUK goes, I don't see how it would be different in both respects but Corey would be better to comment on that than I seeing as I've never tried it. Hope that helps.
 
I was actually going to try this with a small HVLP or air brush on a Harley Painted inner fairing. There is lots of tight spots which would be very difficult to coat the traditional way. Unfortunately the customer fell through. I have read to do an entire vehicle this way you would use more product.
 
well in another video i saw
spraying it adds more hands so reduces amount of hands given and adds more micron. i would say to shoot low pressure small fan~!!!
 
You can spray the CQuartz coatings as well, it's no problem BUT when aerosol ANY product you should be sure to wear appropriate breathing protection.
 
Thanks corey but hey question what PSI should i shoot at? and what would be the best cleaner to use in the gun when I'm done so no product crystalizes in the chambers!!!! maybe if possible can u make a tutorial detail for detail on spraying with a spray gun!!!!!!
