hey welcome to kevin's corner
the rattle can the bomb can the spray
bomb
whatever you want to call it it's been
around for a long long time and it's a
very effective means of applying the
coating to metal parts or wood what
happy but the problem with the rattle
can at least with conventional rattle
cans is it's not as strong as a true
catalyzed paint that supplied with a
professional pneumatic system because
the biggest thing that happens when you
hit with solvent
it kind of breaks down take a closer
look we're gonna do a little test here
this is a piece of fiberglass painted
with a satin finish
it's very nice look it's got that half
cluster but check this out a little bit
of acetone which is about the same
strength as like a thinner and look what
happens
that's the paint coming off of there so
obviously there's issues it's not going
to be as strong
it's not going to be as resistant as
your catalyzed paints so rattle cans are
out of the question right
absolutely not check this out eastwood
is reinvented the wheel Eastwood has
just launched their new line of 2k arrow
spray 2 K because it's two component
meaning it has a harder in it
eros pray because it's in an aerosol can
they've got a great epoxy ground coat
they've got a low gloss black satin
black a high-gloss black and a clear
coat and it looks fantastic it rivals
your pneumatic professional spray
systems i did some spray up panels
check it out you're not gonna believe it
you prep your substrate the same way
making sure things clean and completely
free of dust
now i use the gray epoxy here which
covers nicely in one code but I put two
on just to make sure I had a good fat
coating and the gray epoxy has an
adjustable tip
meaning you can turn it to the left and
it has a wider fan pattern to the right
it has a narrow pattern with more
material coming out without us in about
10 minutes and it was safe to tape on in
about 20 then I came back with the
chassis satin black and
check it out it gives that beautiful
half gloss luster that everybody is
after its beautiful beautiful coding
perfect for restoration work restaurant
or whatever you want
this came from erratic and i love it the
second panel i painted with the low
gloss underhood finish
it's got a subtle difference it's a
little bit flatter and it gives you that
different dimension and if you're doing
a concours restoration
you know that there's several different
flat blacks or chassis blacks they're
used on any vehicle when it's done
factory correct the next sample piece i
use the gloss finish which is a
beautiful gloss i use three coats and
man alive his chest gorgeous
there's one more important thing we
gotta check
we're going to give this paint the same
test that we did on the conventional
rattle-can or spray campaign using acid
on it's the same rag
nothing comes up nothing comes up it's
clean
it doesn't affect the paint it doesn't
move the paint this is a true catalyzed
paint using it is very very easy take it
make sure everything is agitated then
pop the button out of the top of the cap
place the can upside down on a
relatively firm surface and simply place
the button on the little peg at the
bottom of the camp using the heel of
your hand is best for me and you can
hear a distinct sound when it breaks the
membrane and releases the catalyst into
the rest of the camp then shake it up
about two minutes
advanced design aercap atomizes the
paint beautifully and allows you to use
the same fifty percent overlap that you
normally would with a pneumatic spray
gun
the distance from my work piece is about
six to eight inches
now one of the major differences between
this and any other rattle-can is the
shape of the spray patterns the perfect
elliptical pattern that you would have
with a normal expensive spring on the
last two Cairo spray demo I did well
with my Eastwood welding helmet check it
out
I mask everything off sculpt it with a
great scotch-brite pad and look at it is
beautiful
it's a beautiful strong glass-like water
clear coating that rivals your spray
guns that you're using a professional
paint shop environment and at a fraction
of the cost and this stuff looks great
but I do have one suggestion
eastwood are you listening Brian nick
jr.
we need a hot rod flat clear I'm sure
the people watching this would agree and
if i had had that while i was doing the
jaded project it would have saved me
tons of time and a lot of money and
clean up dinner so I hope you're
listening
thanks for paying attention so far this
stuff is awesome
eastwood you did it again thanks for
watching kevin's corner
take care
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
