Using HVLP spray equipment for enamels, multicolor or metallic finishes
When using conventional or HVLP spray equipment for enamels, multicolor or metallic finishes, the problem has always been, how to keep the particles mixed without shaking the pot or buying an agitating model. Well, say hello once more to marbles. That's right, the same kind of marbles we all played around with as kids. Visit any hobby or children's toy store and buy yourself another bag of those colorful glass balls. Put a few in your pot after mixing or catalyzing your material. As you spray the marbles will roll around and keep the material agitated, offering improved results.
