Neil:
you can still get zinc chromate?  I proposed it recently for a job in the
petrochemical industry and thought everyone in the conf. room was gonna have
a heart attack.  In this industry "environmental" rules.

Mayf;

If it's anything like zinc chromate primer, it's supposed to go on really
thin. Zinc chromate is supposed to be semi-transparent but a common mistake
is to put on so much that it looks like yellow-green paint. Maybe your
primer is similar?

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
