A $1,479 Spray Gun, Cut in Half #Shorts
SATA lists the jet X RP 1.3 I DIGITAL pro at $1,479. Cut in half: the trigger's first pressure point lets air out before any paint (SATA calls it pre-air), pull further and the needle comes off the 1.3 mm tip, and at the head centre air breaks the paint up while horn air makes the fan flat. The whole cut-through is the full video on this channel.

What's Inside a $1,479 Spray Gun? SATA jet X, Cut in Half
What does $1,479 buy in a spray gun? We modelled SATA's jet X RP 1.3 I DIGITAL pro from SATA's own photos and parts list, cut it in half on its centre line, and followed the air from the hose to the air cap: the air piston that holds it back, the trigger's first pressure point that lets air out before any paint (SATA calls it pre-air control), the needle coming off the 1.3 mm fluid tip, and the head that splits centre air from horn air. Then SATA's numbers, and the adam X pro display that reads the pressure at the handle.

Bare metal: etch or epoxy primer? #shorts
Bare metal, and four cans that all say primer. Etch leaves 0.6 of a mil β it bites, but it fills nothing. 2K epoxy is the one whose sheet names a time for body filler over it: 1 hour at 70 Β°F, and it stays recoatable without sanding for 72 hours. And "sealer" is often not a fourth can at all β Transtar's epoxy is 1:1 as a primer and 1:1:10% as a sealer, on one page.

How to Blend Car Paint: 6 Levels, From Your First Blend to a Tri-Coat
How to blend car paint so the repair disappears, in six levels, from your first blend to a tri-coat. The short version: colour to hiding over the repair, each coat a little further out than the last at a few psi less, then clear over the whole panel, edge to edge. Every number here is from the paint makers' own pages (AkzoNobel, Axalta, PPG, Spies Hecker, Standox, Ford), and where they disagree, we say so.

Same paint, and you can still see the line? Blend it #shorts
Right paint code, fresh paint, and you can still see where the repair stops? That line is the edge of the new colour. Blend it: colour to hiding over the repair, each coat a little further out than the last, a few psi lower every coat, then clear over the whole panel, edge to edge. Never stop the clear in the middle of a panel.
Stocked deep on the names you trust.
