Good day, i'm getting ready to pull the trigger on some SprayMax cans, I have found them on amazon for about $30 bucks shipped in CDN funds, which I think is pretty dang good.

I'm doing a Fish Tales playfield that is in decent shape, new decals added and it's basically ready for a final cleaning and a clear coat. I want to give the SprayMax a shot.

1. How much will I need to do a few coats on this?
2. How long after I spray can I spray again for another coat?
3. How long after I spray can I sand?
4. Then how long do I cure after I sand to do a second round of clear and a final sand / polish?

Sorry if this is shitloads of questions OR if they aren't real questions as its all relative somehow to other factors and there isn't a "real answer" to them.

Thx so much in advance !!

Well, regardless of the time of year I buy it, the temperature at 36,000 ft if its on a plane will be freezing as it is anyway. We don't have delivery here, it'll be sitting in the post office waiting for me.

Awesome info, thanks. Basically great "rough estimates" info I was looking for.

Something like this for polishing?

HOLY shit is that Ultra cutting creme and Polish costs a fortune!

Is there a comparable product that isn't $150 for a bottle?

*Edit - never mind, some reason, frickin' ridiculous costs on amazon .ca and normal on .com

*Edit again - none of the .com shippers will send to Canada, hence the unreal high price on the .ca amazon site.

Nipawin, SK's Napa has shit inventory and everything is "we can order it in, be here next week or so". IMO, that's the same as Amazon

Eyedropper from the dollar store would work also?

10-15 mins between coats for that?

Hey folks, question on prepping PF. I have read and see that using naphtha and a tack cloth is the answer for the prep. But, what I havent ever read, even on Vid's guide I don't think is - Do i wipe it all down with just a microfibre dampened/soaked with naphtha? or scrub it or what? Then tack cloth it then clear? is there a best waiting time between wiping down and clear?

Now i'll have to decide on method. I've read, light coat, light sand, then heavier coat, then heavier coat, i've read, heavy assed huge coat, sand, polish, done. I need to make a decision.

How long to keep the heat up in the "spray booth area" it'll be in my garage and i'm in Saskatchewan, which means cooling off already and the evenings are cool, don't mind putting heater in garage at all, probably cures better/faster with warmer temps?

My plan will be to toss a regular fan on the outside of my "out" filter blowing out the garage window during the process.

Thx for tips so far guys!

Hey folks, just doing this so it`s easily find able for me soon.

Ahhhhh,
On that side, I was looking for something like that. Thx!!!

Hey folks, prepping my PF right now, how far do I go with covering holes before spraying?!

Basically every opening? What about switch lane slots? I’m taping the holes from underneath...... feedback? Thx!

Omg, I’m missing some reading I’m thinking, should I have pre-sanded my Fish Tales here before I start filling a couple low spots before I clear?

Toss some 400 on a smaller block and it’ll find some of he low points also I bet?

Nice, sanded tonight, started at 1500-2000-2500-3000 did it by hand with a hand held block. Got it pretty dang smooth! I haven't used the Meguiars cutter creme or the final creme yet, tomorrow eve probably.

I think you have to wait months between if I remember Ive read it someplace before.

You used SprayMax2K in your house with the window open??!?? your nuts, that stuff is friggin toxic man. I built a spray booth in my garage and wore an alomost hazmat suit and it was still rank.

I have a couple neighbor yappy shit dogs that I could pipe the vapours over the fence to. hmm.... gots me thinking now

If you read back in thread a bit, you will find some complete timelines and examples.
