Further Investigations Part III

[mechman]

The next round of investigations will include all of the different AAAs within different bases. So far we have shown that Black Widow works well with both HE558 and AAA fine. And now that I'm caught up a bit with my work around the house, it's time to investigate AAA-medium and AAA-coarse. I ordered all of this a few days ago and I expect it to arrive shortly.

The bases that I'll be working with are these (all tinted Bermuda Beige of course ):

PPG Grand Distinction Flat - I have already tested this with AAA-fine
PPG Grand Distinction Matte - Will pick this up tomorrow
Valspar Ultra Premium Flat Enamel - I have a lot of this sitting around!
Valspar Ultra Premium Flat - got a quart of this!

So the question is, what will the larger aluminum get us?

Another thing that I will be working on as well will be gain. I think that will be for another thread though.

And then I have a couple of things that I'm going to try and if it works I'll share it.

mech - although flat paint is available it can only be bought in white or magnolia. the lowest sheen level that s0907 is available in is matt (flat enamel)

the sheen value for flat is 2%
the sheen value for matt (flat enamel) is 4%

but i can still test the different AAA's with matt s0907

what is the sheen value for matt over your side?

Custy,

Just test them with the matte then. As for those sheen numbers, I'm unsure exactly what they represent?

[custard]

i have some s0907 left over. i will order the 3 different aaa's in the next few days

[mechman]

Sounds great Custy! Do you have panels you can paint as well?

[custard]

i have a large piece of plasterboard (drywall) which i could cut up into smaller pieces if thats any good. otherwise what do you propose i use as the panels?
