Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
I cleaned the gun at every refill of the cup, because the goo was setting up inside. I left the gun in a bucket of lacquer thinner overnight to see if it will all come out/off today.
I used a cheap "on sale" Princess Auto (Harbor Freight) HVLP that came with a 2.3mm tip. You are going to WANT a 2.3mm tip.
15° increase in temperature gives half the cure time. You can't leave this in the gun more than 15 minutes, and my booth was 10° higher than room temp, so 15 minutes becomes 10 minutes. You gotta work fast.
If you spray it down thick, you can get a reasonably smooth. If you spray it light, you're just going to be building up pebbles.
Having said all that, this covers so well, that I needed very little filler. It is certainly nice to use to get that super straight finish.
