Today's lesson, boys and girls, is to ALWAYS check and double check your mix ratios and air pressure settings BEFORE you start painting.

I wet sanded the bedsides, which had a few small issues, but were deemed worthy of color, so I mixed up my HRF and got to it. Problem is, I was just spraying base/clear, so I had the wrong mix ratios in my head. Twice as much hardener and reducer as necessary yields a runny, dripping, sagging mess. Low air pressure results in a spatter-paint effect. Both of which are not conducive to good-looking paint on your truck...

Now I know why my clear came out so crappily, too. Seems I have a bad habit of resting my pinky on the air pressure fine adjustment knob. At least with double the hardener, the paint will be dry sooner, and I can fix it sooner
