Hi

Spraying 2K finishes like Oracolor or Klasskote.  Recommendations are often to wait a few hours between coats.  By then, the paint in the cup is potentially going off.  Mixing small amounts of 2K paint is a little impractical.  Sticking the entire gun/cup full of paint in the fridge isn’t popular with wifey and you then have to warm it up a bit to restart after a few hours.  Disconnecting the cup full of paint is messy.

What do you guys do between coats.  I go through the pain of stripping it all down/cleanig but its a right pain in the a@@.

Anyone got a magic fix I’m missing.

PS don’t say use dope 😀.  2K is pricey but dope in the UK is eye watering in price

Hi Dave

I have a cunning plan for when the bl@@dy wind stops here in the UK (I can only spray when theres a reasonably light wind that carries the overspray out of the open garage door otherwise the wife goes nuts).

The plan involves a plastic pipette, a steady hand and a jar of jam.

I’ll ket you know how it goes.

PS.  I think thats where im going wrong, trying to get it all down in one coat in order to avoid the wait between coats.  I want to try doing it the KK recommended way.  Ive had good results so far but i know they could be better.
