You know , i have been off the forums a long time, and Judy has told me to stay away. But this time i will have to dissagree with a lot of what DocCyber says.

Part 1
Geezzzz where to start lol. All this talk about,high end paints , special windows , training , delamination , paint falling off , windows , crap , where did all this come from . Oh by the way , I am an award winning airbrush artist, and not just vans. I have worked on as small as miniature Harleys to 53 foot trailers , even restored 100 year old painting.So credentials? Do not take me there.

All the art i do is over a layer of clear sanded with 800 wet, and never have i had to worry about scratches so this is a myth.

As for top clearing. Once a surfaced is cleared and wet sanded , according to the Dupont rep i deal with and the shop that does my clear there is no window to re -clear. The only window for Dupont is when you are basing, once base is applied you have 16 hours max to lay the clear on it . This only applies to the base not re-clearing.

PArt 2 to follow

every one paints differntly.....some of you guyz are quick artist types and love to just blast paint.others like to layer and make very intricate complicated paint themes....both styles need differnt approaches to your final job........i know that if you havnt sprayed large areas like a van and think you can your in for a reality check.....so maybe all those above mentioned doesnt bother you but i quarantee it will bother some.........windows are real....800 scratch can catch a bit to much solvent and swell and tear.....i wouldnt just throw those away as problems that dont exist...and anything hardened has a short window anything that doesnt has a longer window...but you still have to stay within the time frame ......and if you have painted that many rigs im a bit surprised in your post because there are a lot of top pros that think differnt.......that throws a red flag for me......how many pieces have you done????
