Sounds too good to be true. https://www.amazon.com/Ionizing-Upgrade ... r=8-2&th=1 $110 is tempting. I'm only doing bike parts so small gun like this could work but I am skeptical. Thoughts??

Just spray a light mist coat on right before paint, After tacking and wiping.

Thanks Dave. I assume that the mist coat evaporates pretty rapidly--perhaps mainly alcohol based (?). I'll see if my supplier can get it for me.

The SDS sheet for SX103 lists it as >90% Isopropyl alcohol.

PD is spoiled by his reps, as one of the "little people" I use use water based (Isopropyl alcohol based) W&G remover from my local FinishMaster house brand, Tamco or some other online supplier. That way I can save up for my $250/qt PPG paints!!!

I will use it after my solvent based W&G remover, which I am sure I learned from someone on this forum.

but you do spray it on i hope ? wiping is partly the cause of static.

OFB: buddy when PPG reps need color matched you should see the PPG swag show up in boxes :happy:

what size coat you wear ? go pick one out and let me know.

I use a mix of Methylated Spirits (aka Denatured Alcohol/Ethanol) and water. Usually 50:50 but I do increase the alcohol content in winter if I want it to evaporate a bit faster. The water stops the static and alcohol cleans any residue from Prepsol and leaves the surface clinically clean. Spray-on, wipe off preferably with a low static producing cloth. Tack and blow before paint. Fisheyes are a thing of the past.

PD, I only look like a medium but I'm an XL and wear anything fleece!

My water based cleaners get sprayed on, then wiped off with a wetted Krew 600 towel - I sure hope that's the correct procedure!!!

***BTW, I just checked with my usual supplier "Jeff Bezos" and Amazon along with two other websites don't carry Krew 600 towels anymore????

both water and w&g should be used correct, the wiping is what actually causes static,

especially on plastic, the dx103 misted onto the part will kill the static after cleaning and tacking.
