    Soooo...how would this change using an airbrush for the G5?

    The formula is now water-base, so the amonia and whatnot mentioned here...still the same need?

    I expect to receive my G5 shortly, and the tutorial Veil Guy showed on the application in one of Roy's videos just said clean the surface with water and a paper towel, shake well, let settle a bit, then foam brush on top-to-bottom, letting gravity do some of the work. Looked E-Z Breezee, and the results looked darn nice from where I sat.

    Soooo...is there still any advantage to using an air brush on the G5?

    And polycarbonate vs. glass...C'MON GUYS! How the HECK do you test for THAT? Baseball bat? If it cracks, it's poly, if it shatters, it's glass?

    Ya know what? I'm betting that if I'm patient there will be some instructions packed in this sucker.

    So all I have to do is apply the first coat, cuss, dig the instructions out of the trash, read them, clean off the mess I made, and re-install properly per directions...just like I did with the ceiling fan, the rear speakers for the bike sound system, and the little thingy that holds my cell phone on the AC vent so that I can see EL! when driving. Heck, that last one took THREE tries!

    *Sigh*...it's hard to be a man...

    You're a funny guy...



    Veil G5 is now removable with vinegar instead of ammonia. The thing with G5 is that it has a bit more viscosity than G4. Have yet to try G5 in an airbrush system. I am going to be very interested in seeing the results from those that actually attempt to apply in that manner. On headlights, etc, the coating, I believe, goes on much nicer and sets up nice than previous versions. It no longer really flows and runs like it used to, making it much easier to apply without the need for masking off sections.

    I'll be most interested to hear about your experiences when you get it.
