    Question Soooo Frustrated..

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Alright so my podi boost gauge came in Friday, and so I decided I'd try to paint the pod today (cuz I have Platinum interior). Got on A4mods.com and got the paint he got and the preval sprayer. I load up the paint in the sprayer and it won't spray the paint... Is the paint too thick, I put a little paint thinner in there or am I missing something? Please help. Thanks

    Re: Soooo Frustrated..

    When spraying paint.. You have to thin down your mixture to what your nozzle can handle.. I would either look up what the specs of your gun are or talk to the supplier of the paint to see what its mixture calls for. The mixtures will vary from paint type to paint type and supplier to supplier so its always better to ask.. For the most part its usually somewhere around 50/50 but again this is all dependent on your gun, your paint, and your air pressure. All can play a very important role. Soak your gun in thinner over night (not the plastic or rubber parts) so the paint doesn't solidify inside of it.

    Hope this helps.. =)
