NonMember Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foshi Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 i normally apply 2 coats of high build 2k primmer then the cellulose . others may do it differently but it works for me paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul H Posted September 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 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 Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 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 Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 run mine at 60psi but depends on gun some only need 30psi paul sorry just seen nonmember quote sums it up really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foshi Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 just a note on the filler depends on if you are using a 2k primmer, cellulose can sink back leaving round marks paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
