Re: 72 K20 build thread, need good name

Two posts in two days! Making good progress.
Today I sprayed the smooth Gray Durabak over the interior and the underhood skin. I bought a 2.8 nozzle for my Turbine HVLP system so I could spray. The first problem I ran into was that there were alot of small chunks in the durabak that I have to filter out. The usual paint strainers are way too fine and the Durabak wouldn't even go through it, so I had to come up with something else. Ended up using 220 grit drywall sanding screens. Worked pretty well.

It did not spray as well as I was hoping, as it spattered quite a bit. I could have thinned it a bit with Xylene, but it was kind of runny as it was, so I had to settle. I was really hoping to put this on nice and thick, but it wasn't going to happen. I'm going to see how it is when it dries and I'll go from there. I can always brush or roll it on too, but I wanted a smooth finish. Oh well. I'll post more pics after it dries.
