Re: Water based replacement to 2k PU clear?

Great work and pics, das_auto!

But a question for you (or anyone else with experience) about your statement of "after about 5-7 coats with 5 min flash between coats". Do you flush/clean your airbrush between each coat? I have always wondered whether that is necessary or advised when spraying multiple lacquer coats like that, as seems very tedious. How about if longer (10 to 15 minutes) between coats? Just wondering what other people do on this?
Thanks for the kind words Cameron!

Well, I rarely clean the airbrush out between coats. Usually, the clear has not begun to dry. If it has, a simple "squirt" onto some kitchen towel with the airbrush will remove any semi-dried clear left in the nozzle.

If you choose to wait for a longer period of time iŽd advise you to dump the residual clear into a sealed container and run some thinners through the brush to clean it out and keep you out of trouble.

Regards!

Emil
