Any spray paint experts out there?

[ayabrea38]

OH has invested in a spray gun and various paints and thinners.He bought an odd pot(someone had used just a bit of it)and when testing it,it dried to a gloss finish,like it already had lacquer in it.My(his(question is,can you mix the paint,thinners and lacquer together and spray at the same time,instead of having to wait for the colour to dry then lacquer over it?
Thanks to anyone who knows

not that simple without more info, loads of options water based paint/solvent based...wet on wet ....then theres icocynates....

Isocyanates are potentially dangerous irritants to the eyes and respiratory tract. No matter which chemical is used, all isocyanates must be treated as a highly hazardous chemical. The greatest risk when dealing with these chemicals involves inhalation of the fine vapours or droplets which irritate the nose lungs and thorax. Increased exposure to isocyanates can lead to sensitization causing workers to experience asthma attacks.

Common health effects caused by all isocyanates include eye irritation leading to watering and discomfort. Dryness of the throat and chest is common and difficulty breathing results from constant exposure, especially when in high concentrations. When the chemicals come in contact with the skin, reddening, swelling and blistering will occur and persist until completely washed off. Dermatitis is also linked to excessive exposure of isocyanates as well as liver and kidney dysfunction.

no modern paint has laquer included, its applied afterwards...
when paint was mixed that way it caused problems with paint flaking off on certain colours were a nightmare, anyone remember ford silverfox ???

Yes. I remember Ford Silverfox. Almost as bad as Roman Gold, also by Ford.

[Graham-W]

I stand corrected, Chaz. Roman Bronze it was.
