Custom Paint Job - 1980 Corvette - RUPES & Gyeon - Extreme Show Car Makeover at Autogeek

[sealthedeal]

Hi Mike (and/or others that were a part of team),
What were the temperature conditions when you started coating (temp/humidity) ?
How much time did you let gyeon MOHS sit before removal?
What was removal like (compared to other coatings like cquartz etc) ? I heard it continues to show some high spots on panels you've already cleared so requires to keep checking prior panels as well...
Was one layer applied or two ?

Any other application usage details you can provide for MOHS would be great.

Great outcomes !

Hi Mike (and/or others that were a part of team), What were the temperature conditions when you started coating (temp/humidity) ?

Off hand I don't remember the temperature and we don't have hygrometer in the garage.What I do remember was we had the garage door open when we started as it was cool and even cold outside last week.I'd say it was in the 60's or 70's - don't even want to guess what the humidity was?

How much time did you let gyeon MOHS sit before removal?

About a minute. Jeff McEachran from Gyeon told me the wipe-off can start as soon as 20 to 30 seconds after application.

I spoke with him the day before the Corvette project.

Wipe-off was easy. If you look at the pictures I posted, Jeff Bell was inspecting the paint with the SCANGRIP light for high spots and none were discovered.This is a very user-friendly coating.

Any other application usage details you can provide for MOHS would be great.Great outcomes !

Not much else I can add at this time. If you can, go to Mobile Tech Expo this Thursay and attend the GYEON class Jeff McEachran and I are teaching from 2:00pm to 2:45pm in the Dade/FLorida Keys room at the Double Tree Inn in Orlando.

Looks great. What does a "high spot" look like after the coating is put on?

Would one describe it as butter on a half slice of bread and half the side doesn't have it?

I have examples in this write-up

Now lets see what's really going on....

These my friend are holograms....

Can someone explain to me how to tell that the marks in the last 2 pictures are Holograms?

To my eyes all 3 pictures look like swirls, and I don't see the difference between the first picture and the later 2 pictures. (except maybe more lines coming out from where the light hits...?)

Sure - be happy to.... :xyxthumbs:

Look at the wispy LINES or PATTERNS you see in the below pictures from my article here,


The word holograms means a specific scratch pattern inflicted into paint using a rotary buffer

See the LINES

Holograms are a pattern of SCRATCHES that mimic or copy the direction a ROTARY polisher was moved over the surface.


Swirls are RANDOM.

Micro-marring is caused by ORBITAL polishers, they are not random nor are they caused by a rotary.

Somewhere on this forum I have another article with pictures that shows the different types of paint defects.

Good to see you, Mike.

I have tried to draw on that picture in your post:

I see lines, which i draw on in red. I'm guess this is the direction the rotary was moved

I see other (circular?) scratches, & I draw on (some) of them in blue. These look the same as swirls TO ME, but I THINK these are also from buffer spinning.

Are these circular scratches (where blue lines are) holograms, swirls, or micro-marring?
