Rubber?

Has anyone sprayed the Clor. rubber in the past? My paint supplier (Franklin) can only sell that type of paint in NJ. I run JCL paint machines with the washout systems. Does it spay as even as the VOC oil? Can it build up on the bottom of the pressure pot? How does it react over Coal tar sealer? Anything else I should know? Thanks

Dan, I could be wrong, but I believe the person who told you that is misinformed. Check again with a more knowledgable person, they should be able to sell latex too. This has been discussed here recently, maybe search here. Jpanz would have the info as well. I have run CR in my air machines in the past, I do not have JCL's though. Depending on the temperatures it required thinning a little to get the spray "right". And with the CR I use it does settle more quickly. I would not recommend CR on coaltar unless the temps are very cold (under 40 approximately), otherwise you get the discoloration.

Dan, you can not use the Low VOC paint on Coal tar. We had luck this year with Sherwin Williams yellow but i would not count on it. We use only airless and have no problems at all. It spray easier than latex and is more forgiving. It acts like any other oil based paint. Just drys a lot faster. I did not have any luck with Franklin Paint Low VOC CR paint. I used about 400 gallons and all the shopping center I did wore out in 6 months (before the winter). I would try Sherwin Williams, Ennis, before Franklin. Jim

Thanks for the help. I know I can order latex also but I like to stripe oil on fresh pavement. I used VOC yellow over coal tar without any problems in the past, but not the white. I used to use SW but their price went though the roof and it seemed their paint was not very smooth the last few years. Franklin is the smoothest paint by far. But I think you could be right about the lasting power of Franklin. I worry about the rubber settling in my pressure pots (I seal more then I stripe) if it sits for a week or so.

Dan, I would talk to a sales rep about your prices. I got my price within $.60 of Franklin Paint. I know that the SW paint drys so fast that it does tend to get clumpy in the real hot times, but we have very few clogs through out the year with it. Jim ps. what part of jersey are you from?

jpanz, I'm from NW Jersey, I have to say SW prices were better then the price I got last year from them. But Franklin is about 1.50 less per gallon. With SW the paint at the bottom of the can never seemed mixed. Always had to box the cans then mix with a stick, then box again. Told the rep, but striping paint is not their main business.

Dan I am from Jersey and I use the SW paint. It might cost a few pennies more but if you are out on a job and run short there is always a SW around the corner. My SW guys at the store I deal with bend over backwards for me , due to the amount of paint I run throught there store. I have had good luck with SW. I have never used Franklin Paints so I cannot comment on that, but if you need patrs, they are the people to talk to. I buy all my Graco and Binks parts there and if you have a repair question Dennis in the shop is a great guy to talk to. They are the easiest parts supplier I have delt with. If you have any questions or want the name of my SW rep, feel free to give me an e-mail. Gary
