Today went just about as bad as can be.
Rented a compressor to start painting. Long weekend, and the stores are closed. I had female quick fittings for he air drier and needed males. Managed to swap fittings around to make that work.
Next, started reading about the Nason paint I bought. Started trying to familiarize myself with the ratios, and application times/coats etc. Noticed that I did not have primer... (I had been using spray can primer for after I welded) I had planned to do a full primer coat and then paint. That plan fell apart quickly.
First coat of red single stage.
This is after the second or third. Don't remember.
