This Friday was pretty big day 6 hours spray painting by the time you lightly sand , prep wash , get ready to spray then wait 10 - 15 minutes between coats and clean up . I just need to do engine compartment next .. Dale










Being 6'4 tall not much fun laying on your back upside down legs sticking through the fire wall , spraying under the nose in the drivers , gunner , compartment , with just two passes of the spray gun and you can't see a thing until the air clears but worth it in the end . Darrin the protec paint that Euan and I are using can go on to glossy some times it is 30 % flatten down as well , like your are doing . I find what I do is to do one tie coat then wait ten , then a good full coat which looks glossy then wait ten this time I turn in the paint volume knob in 1/2 a turn also spray about 1 inch further away from the job and move the gun a bit quicker then the first two coats , this gives a flatter satin look to the paint then it blends into first two layers wet on wet ..
