Scott - good review. One suggestion for you... practice with that gun a bit
and try to develop the knack for spraying with a pretty healthy spray and
not get runs. Obviously, you'll be developing your sense of spraying speed
in order to prevent the runs. The principle here is that you'll get better
finishes with wetter coats than you will with dry coats. This becomes
especially true with top coats. You'll be happy to have less sanding to do
than if you put on dry coats and end up with orange peel. Practice makes
perfect and all that.


Thanks for the tip. I did some more spraying tonight, and did good
and bad. At first my primer was too thick, then too thin, then I got
it just right. It definately takes some practice to get the speed
right so I can do things in just one pass and get a nice coat. It
will be interesting to use actual paint as it is quite a bit thinner
than the Killz primer. Oh well, will do that tomorrow.
