Re: Ice cream getter

” I am still putting mine together after fresh paint last winter”
Gillnetter you are moving at a pace I am familiar with

Finished painting the tub this week including blacking out the bottom. Base went ok but the clear, not so much. This stuff was thick and heavy like no clear I’ve sprayed before. I should have reduced it but wasn’t sure the reducer I had would work and as it was about midnight I couldn’t call anyone I knew to ask. My gun is set up for much finer or thinner material, like the base, so I kept spraying. I cranked up the air pressure and just poured it on. The end result was lots of orange peel and plenty of sags. Even had a couple of bugs decide to take a rest after the last coat. The worst part was when I turned the tip on my gun to spray with a horizontal fan for the tail light area. I quickly hung the gun up adjusted the rotisserie and then forget to turn the tip back before spraying the bed side. I was pissed.
