Primer coming out of gun dry

Omni 1k primer 1 to 1 with reducer........WTF what a mess any help would be cool. Just trying to put a fresh coat on for Billetproof

 

drop your line pressure, and you might want to add a touch more reducer.

what type of gun are you using?

 

i've had that problem with OMNI before. i will NOT use that crap again... i don't know how to correct the problem. wish i did.

 

hvlp, regulater at the gun i have the pressure set at 30lbs

 

Drop the airpressure bit by bit until it stops....How hot is it where your spraying?

If all else fails, you could try doing some primer cobwebbing!

 

It was 96 today in the shop......

 

good luck man. ive messed with it a ton one night. never got it. the can is still almost full sitting on the shelf. everyone who ive talked to said its junk and im spinning my wheels. but im no pro painter, someone im sure knows a trick.

 

for one 96 is wayyyy to hot to be painting . especially a whole car . bad enough a panel . a whole car forget it .....

 

i swear by omni for customer cars... cheap lays out decent if you know what ur doing and are used to it. have u sprayed before?? or is it a first time thing?? 96 is about 20 degrees to hot u should also be using a hardener rather than a reducer... at least thats how the 2k goes. a slow hardeneer would be best. if ur not real experienced maybe its your technique... try moving a little slower over each panel and holding the gun a little closer to the panel. if you are experienced i mean no offense.

 

No offense taken, yes i have sprayed before. I used a gallon of this before had no problems, it must be to damm hot.

 

are you using slower reducer?(mr187)

 

Wrong size tip(too small) too much pressure.

 

Is the material knob turned in too far?
Are you holding the gun too far away from the car or moving too fast while spraying?

 

on a side note,,here is a link to PPG's(& omni)technical product sheets

just type in what you have and a product tech sheet can be printed off,,handy if you are doing work late and night or on the weekends and need the info...just type in the product your using,,ie DP90, dbc ,or whatever...

make sure that stupid packing nut under the trigger is tight

 

Thanks for the info, it will come in handy......

 

Bad Paint.........Found out today that omni 1k primer only has a self life of six months after the can is opened. What a waste of time
