| Creative Sweater Winner  JJ from Tasco #11 rolls into the winner's circle by getting creative on his handmade festive Christmas sweater. | Repulsive Sweater Winner  Jackie from Tasco #1 is always a great candidate for the occasion. We approve of the various elements compiled to make this sweater a repulsive winner. |
Client Sweater Winner
Sarah Moody and Boss from Bradley's Body Shop came to party with an elf and a unicorn outfit. This unicorn is throwing up candy and snowflakes with the candy and unicorn lighting up to change colors is quite the Christmas giddy-up.
Honorable Mention Sweater Winners
 Representing the good people over at Palace Auto Supply is Susan. If you ever go to a Christmas tree farm you may run into her. |  Although Kyle is out in Vegas there is never a bad reason to represent a bright and cheery Houston Oilers sweater. |
 Jake from Tasco #11 clearly put his stamp on what repulsive means. He would give Uncle Eddie from Christmas Vacation a good run for his money. |  Chris Muller from Superior Body and Bedliner deserves a mention for his festive outfit combined with a convenient drink holder. |
Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2019 Tasco Auto Color Sweater Contest. Spread the word and we'll see you again next year. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Have you checked your spray gun’s fan pattern recently?
With the spray gun being a painter’s primary tool, proper gun set up is critical to the final appearance of the material being applied. One important aspect of gun set up is fan pattern. Proper fan pattern can ensure an even film build of the sprayed material, correct drying and curing of the film, and proper adhesion from layer to layer.
You should always check your gun’s fan pattern prior to material application. Holding your gun 6-9” from a piece of masking paper or other flat surface, spray your paint to check for a uniform, elliptical pattern. Other fan patterns can indicate a problem and should be fixed.

Make polishing easier with these best practices!
While no painter wants to buff every job, oftentimes it is necessary to remove minor imperfections from a newly finished repair. While the buffing process can be a daunting task for some, the following tips can help make the job easier, more consistent and productive.
Clean between steps
Clean between steps
- Cleaning between polishing steps is critical so as to not transfer polish to another step.
- Left over polish can fill in sand scratches making it appear as if your scratches have been removed.
- Cleaning with OneChoice® SX103 Multi-Prep™ surface cleaner or SWX350 H2O-So-Clean® waterborne pre-cleaner between polishing steps will let you clearly see if the sand scratches have been removed.
- De-nib to keep the area small and easy to manage, focusing on the small spot to be removed.
- Matching the OE texture is the goal. Avoid over polishing and sanding too flat.
- You might think ‘more is better’ but excessive compound and polish can build up in layers, filling and masking sand scratches.
- Buffing pads are designed to work best with minimal compound. Apply a small amount of compound to the pad and polish until there is none left before adding any more.
- Don’t let your buff pads get caked with compound. At the end of each week, get into the habit of washing your buff pads in warm water, then leave them to dry over the weekend.
- Avoid contamination by keeping buffing pads and microfiber cloths for each step separate and in zip lock bags.
- While everyone may have their own tried and true buffing procedures, it’s always best to follow the compound or polish manufacturers’ recommendations.

Can I mix the new sealers with my current ones?
Can I mix the new sealers with my current ones? PPG Refinish recently launched new sealers in the Envirobase® High Performance and Aquabase® Plus product platforms. The new 8-series sealers, ECS8x and P565-318x, are available in white (G1), gray (G5) and dark gray (G7) and can be blended to achieve various shades of gray.
The question on everybody’s mind is: Can I mix my current ECS2x or ECS6x sealers or P565-312x and P565-314x sealers with the new 8-series to get G3 and G6 shades?
The answer is no. DO NOT mix your current sealers with the new.
Why not?
So before making the switch to the new sealers, be sure to work down your current inventory!
The question on everybody’s mind is: Can I mix my current ECS2x or ECS6x sealers or P565-312x and P565-314x sealers with the new 8-series to get G3 and G6 shades?
The answer is no. DO NOT mix your current sealers with the new.
Why not?
- The new 8-series sealers use innovative new resins and are not compatible with the current sealers.
- Mixing the new 8-series sealers with the 2-series, 4-series, or 6-series sealers will not be VOC complaint in low VOC areas.
- Mixing the new 8-series sealers with your current sealers will not provide the correct shade of gray for G3 and G6.
So before making the switch to the new sealers, be sure to work down your current inventory!
