  1. Yes and no...with kandy paints...the more coats, the deeper the color, basecoats usually need 2 or 3 light coats to cover evenly in the HOK color chip book the kandys are shown over many different basecoats, with specific # of coats used over primer / base/..... lotsa work, but HOK does have kandy and basecoats together...close and nice
  2. I have and love my micro mark booth.I do have one complaint with it though..the filters are $$$. It uses a 3 stage system, carbon, foam, and paper up top. I use lacquers and seem to go thru a lot of the paper filters. I use Badger 155 brushes, and love them, I am thinking of a gravity feed Iwata for kandys.....I have two compressors, a fixed 22psi airbrush w/o a tank and it has a water trap. My other is a small 1 gallon tank with a regulator and water trap inline, this is used for auto air water based paints and enamels (32-60psi) in donn yosts system look into " PACE" booths.....great stuff!

  10. One of America's most popular attractions, the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile was first created in 1936 to promote Oscar Mayer's products at grocery stores across the Midwest. As the company grew, it continued its record run, traveling from coast to coast until 1970. Then, in 1986, on the 50th anniversary of it's first run, the Wienermobile went on tour again, and it's been on a roll ever since!
