What white is it ?

[Paul H]

Looking to add a side stripe to my Valencia Blue Saloon like the following pic . Is the colour Old English or Triumph White ? I’m looking for the “creamier “ of the 2. Any suggestions as to suppliers of cellulose . 1 litre would be plenty

going by my vitesse that looks like triumph white. old english  more creamer . having sprayed at least 20 cars with cellulose over the past 10 years i can say all makes differ in finnish and application , have just used some from a company called craftmaster paints on ebay must say very impressed  good finish easy to spray paul

I agree with foshi - that looks like Triumph White - Old English is yellower. Also agree that the craftmaster paints are good, having recently used some on my Vitesse.

Thanks @foshi @NonMember just requested a colour chart from Craftmaster

I’m using HB Body 989 2k Epoxy Primer then on to cellulose Valencia Blue 66. I’ve only sprayed the sills so far though worked fine . Should I be using cellulose primer on top of   the Epoxy then top coat ?

i normally apply 2 coats of high build 2k primmer then the cellulose . others may do it differently but it works for me paul

It very much depends what you are filling.

If a deep dent, shallow scratches etc. 

As a general purpose filler, I have used "uPol Fantastic" but for very fine marks I use an acrylic 1k stopper.

Hi Clive , it’s general purpose use so thanks . I already use Upol Dolphin 1k stopper

Another vote for upol fantastic.

Purchased a litre of cellulose Old English White 3WT for the side stripe from Craftmaster . 
what psi at the gun are you using with cellulose ? My HVLP gun has a 1.3 tip

Air pressure depends a lot more on the gun than it does the paint. I use quite a high pressure with my old school suction feed gun but an HVLP or gravity fed will want lower. Have a play on some scrap and see what works for you.

[foshi]

run mine at 60psi but depends on gun some only need 30psi paul sorry just seen nonmember quote  sums it up really

[foshi]

just a note on the filler depends on if you are using a 2k primmer,  cellulose can sink back leaving round marks paul
