Here In Spirit Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hi guys, I see some people are using airbrushes / mini HVLP to apply the coatings. Are they thinned or diluted with water (or better alternative) to get a uniform from the contents of the syringe. And since its in the same vein, how do you spray Opti Seal as well? Neat or diluted? Thanks a lot. Brian Spirit Detailing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here In Spirit Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 LOL okay, a little web searching and I see a 1:1 with Xylene for spraying OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setec Astronomy Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I don't know, Anthony Orosco sprays OC neat, from what he shows in his video. You definitely don't want to cut it with water, that will cause it to gel. I'm not sure why you would want to spray Opti-Seal in a HVLP, it already comes in a spray bottle.

Lowejackson Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Cannot remember where he said it but I am sure Chris Thomas said for best results do not dilute the Opticoat with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here In Spirit Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Okay, thats great. Thanks for replying. I was browsing Youtube for Opticoat content and saw OC being sprayed. Turned out to be Chris doing the spraying and then I saw that he had thinned OCP with Xylene. With further googling I read that somebody sprayed Optiseal and it gave a much deeper, glossier finish. I imagine it would be I guess I need to do some experimenting myself and see what happens. Cheers, Brian. ps... yep, after I posted the first question, I realised that using water to thin it would be pretty dim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
