Today's lesson, boys and girls, is to ALWAYS check and double check your mix ratios and air pressure settings BEFORE you start painting.
I wet sanded the bedsides, which had a few small issues, but were deemed worthy of color, so I mixed up my HRF and got to it. Problem is, I was just spraying base/clear, so I had the wrong mix ratios in my head. Twice as much hardener and reducer as necessary yields a runny, dripping, sagging mess. Low air pressure results in a spatter-paint effect. Both of which are not conducive to good-looking paint on your truck... Now I know why my clear came out so crappily, too. Seems I have a bad habit of resting my pinky on the air pressure fine adjustment knob. At least with double the hardener, the paint will be dry sooner, and I can fix it sooner :) |

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Are you using a clear coat or just the color? If you are using a clear is it flat too or satin?

Tore into the front half of the truck today to prepare for primer/paint by removing everything I don't want blue. Found a few more 'surprises' in the way of some rust that was bondo-ed over and the core support being mis-aligned and missing lots of fasteners. Fixed those things up as well as gutted the doors and gave them a good coat of rust inhibitor inside. The hood fits much better now that the doghouse is square... Sanded all of the metal down and got her masked-up. Primer is laid- needs to be wet sanded then ready for some more blue :D

Wet sanded, scuffed, and cleaned up in preparation for some color on the rest of the truck. Was fun stretching across that looooong hood. Also caught a little suicide dive bomber in the fender. Truck actually looks kinda good with glossy, wet paint... |
