I am a pretty fair welder. I even managed to get lexan wind screen made. I
am a pretty good fabricator. But I cannot paint for sour owl poop. I just
tried, for the very first time ever, to do some primer work on the car. This
was the 2 part etching primer. Supposedly had enough to paint the entire
car. A qt of paint and a qt or catalyst. Half gone in just the hood and deck
lid. Had enough smarts from all yall telling me to use the paint respirator
so I did do that. I had an old paint gun that Keith gave me and it put paint
on in fits and starts. There are 2 controls on this gun: one above the hand
which seems to control the amount of paint and the spray pattern and the one
on the base of the handle for what? Air flow control? Bottom line is I could
have painted this far better with spray cans! I have a gallon of grey primer
(at least I think it is grey) that I will use on the remainder of the car.
That etching stuff is 2 weird for me. Anybody have any really good tips?
Like take it to the paint shop? Or something similar? I need help.
