    Good dressing to apply with paint gun?

    I have been using Perl, but I`m on my last bottle. I love applying with my spray gun, and I was wondering if there were any better options out there?

    Opti-Bond is supposed to be very nice and have a matte finish I believe. They even have a gun for application.

    I use Opti Bond. I get asked about it often, so I made this thread and video:

    The only thing I have issues with when using a gun is over spray. Tiny particles everywhere, but it is the easiest way to dress my knotty tires.

    How do you all combat that? Volume or pressure?

    I run Optibond straight at 45psi full volume.

    I guess I`ll give Opti-Bond a try, and thank you for all of the videos.

    If you check out my video, you`ll see the air gun I use. I run it under 50 psi, and I don`t get overspray. I like Opti Bond at 100% because it is thicker too. I used to use DG Wet Shine and it would make a cloud, so I think it`s a combo of product and pressure.
