Wireless Set No. 52 Canadian - Project

[David Dunlop]

Well here is what a test board looked like after an attempt to spray paint a finish coat on it with my new Preval system.

The paint is an oil based, rust resistant enamel the manufacturer advises not to thin, and to use Mineral Spirits for clean up work. Under that advise, the system could not get the paint out of the spray jar.

Step 2 was to start over with a new system assembly and thin with Mineral Spirits at 4:1, as recommended by the system maker, ensuring the filter assembly at the bottom of the intake tube was removed. Paint barely made it out the nozzle and produced the attached fine textured orange peel look. Not even close to what I need. Tossed that system as well.

Now I am thinking about what to do next. At least the colour is exactly what I wanted.
