Re: Bringing the '65 back to life

You have to be careful when using that technique with a gun, as it's easy to end up with "dry spray". Any textured, hammered, or metallic paint is going to require a little additional care to lay down a uniform coat, but you'll have an easier go of it with a gun rather than rattle cans.

All of the primer/paint on this project thus far has been shot with a typical siphon-feed gun, with the exception of the Raptor bed liner coating, which was shot with a Schutz gun. The interior paint above consists of two coats of Rustoleum Hammered Silver, thinned 15% with Xylene with a little acrylic enamel hardener added, which was shot over one solid coat of Rustoleum primer (which was thinned 10% with Mineral Spirits plus a little hardener, IIRC).
