Spray Painting!
The chassis now sits on milk crates and axle stands.
(with tent pegs through the spring hangers).
This makes it easy to spray underneath.
With a few coats of Watyl Kill Rust Etch Primer,
she looks great!! =)
Here's what I've learnt...
30-40psi airflow is all you need for gravity feed
spray gun's. (I started with 100psi and found that
paint drys as it comes out of the gun!!)
Etch primer isn't easy to spray, it is touch dry in
5 minutes, mostly because its about 80% thinners!!
Allow a day for the priming, paint 2-3 thin coats,
sanding lightly between coats (to get the over
spray off use 240 grade sand paper).
Next, its top coat time!
At this pace I'll have the wheels back on in no time!! =D
