As many of you know I am always searching and testing out new paint. This time I thought I would try BM Scuff-X as I have heard a lot of good things about it.
BM was kind enough to give me a gallon to play with.
This paint is really thick and has more VOC's then usual. As per the TDS, I thinned the gallon by 5% with BM extender and it still was very tick. I was skeptical on how well this was going to spray and lay down. I used my Graco Ultra handhell with a FFLP310 tip, pressure was at 6.5 on the dial which is around 1400-1500 psi.
Set my fan and sprayed some test panels.
Typically when you spray waterborne paint you try for that wet lake look and you will have a little orange peel look but as it dries the orange peel goes away. With this paint, it sprayed absolutely flat. I was quite surprised.
The image shows one coat sprayed over a medium grey test panel and dried for 24 hours ( approx).
I'm quite happy so far. You can see the reflection of the dental scraper.
Cheers,
JC
