    Nope no photospectrometer lol man I've been playing with these colors for almost 30 years now. I can pretty much get any color close enough to fly. Might not have 2 wings but it will fly 😂😂 and I don't get headaches bro in the big fancy shops is where my headaches and stress came from. This place is a blessing 🙏🏼♥️

    I learn more with each job and watching your videos closely.
    One of my earliest mistakes was not giving myself enough room for a blend and ending up with a color hardline.
    Thanks for all these Triggerman tips and tricks.

It seems to be the area's that I have to keep the fan pointed towds the blend to keep overstay from laying to far before laying clear.

    Perfect blend man, great job, i can't really comment on what i do to help my blend I've only used solvent base coat about 5 times in the last 20 years, but I've been having issues with pastel greys in water base so what I'm going to take from this video is I'm going to try the transparent binder that on my system thats used for pearl coats and mid coats and mix that 2-1 with my base coat to see if it helps with the transition when blending them, i can always see where I've painted pastel colours in water base its a pig, i can't use my blender coat and mix it with the paint as its not part of my systems tinters so it won't mix with it, its a different type of material.

    If I may be so bold as to ask you a question Trigger🙏I'm only able to mix my WoW primer (sealer) in grey shades so is there a trick to deciding which grey shade to mix for a certain colour🤔what I normally do is take a pic of the panel then convert it to black & white then mix my sealer to that pic, not sure if that's the best way 🤷‍♂🤔😆John UK

    • @thetriggerman954
      @thetriggerman954  Před 25 dny +2

      Yes John there is a color chart that tells you which color primer/sealer is best for that particular color. You should be able to get one from your local paint distributor or even get one online. They usually have the chart on the walls in mixing rooms. My shop is so old so I haven't seen one in almost the 12 years I've been here. But I remember most of them. Also the BRGY paint wheel that helps you adjust colors I have all of that memorized. I'll scroll a little online and see if I can find you a chart or something. ❤️
