Re: Yet another GMC build
Not sure I picked a bright enough color. Trying to get everything painted before it gets cold but not sure how much longer the warm weather will last.
As a first paint job it seems to be OK so far. I have a couple runs I have to fix and I hate the 3 teeny bugs that landed in it. I did something wrong with the gun and it tried to blow the clear out dry for a second. I did something wrong with it again and it clogged and dripped on a small part and guess what?...you can't just wipe a clear splatter off a part without taking the base with it. Don't EVER try to paint at night. You just can't keep those teeny bugs out no matter how you tape everything. Add a little reducer to the last coat of clear to make it spray a little wetter/ smoother. The air hose is the devil. I think that's most of my new found paint wisdom for now. I have 8 pieces out of 23 coated, though 4 of them are major ones.
