Faraway Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hi guys, Just saw Chris Thomas' video on the above and would like to try it out. Got a few questions for which your help and opinions would be much much appreciated! 1) For the airbrush, may I know what compressor to use or at what air pressure should I set the compressor to? 2) Can only siphon type airbrush be used and not gravity fed ones? 3) Must Opti Coat Pro be diluted with Xylene for use in an air brush or can it be used neat? Is there an alternative chemical apart from Xylene that is more commercially available? 4) how do you clean the airbrush after use? As in, to clear any residual opti coat pro from the air brush. 5) How much Opticoat Pro will I need need to do up a MPV such as the Citroen Grand Picasso C4 with moon roof? 6) Is it really not necessary to do a quick wipe over with a MF after application via airbrush? If needed, how soon after the application? Thanks guys in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowejackson Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 There are a number of threads on Autogeeks eg http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/77724-spraying-opti-coat.htmlwhere spraying is discussed. Not used Opticoat so I cannot really offer any meaningful advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rele Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 What ratio O.C pro:xylen? 2:1? Tnx.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Harris Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 We spray 50/50. So in your pro kit you have 15 cc's of product. We draw up another 15 cc's into the syringe giving us a total of 30 cc's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rele Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Thanks Ron Do you use 1 or 2 layer in that case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest agipson Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Regarding use of xylene. Do you also dilute when spraying for Optimum Gloss-Coat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
