As planned, more spraying today. I changed the mix up a little to 8:2:1 paint/reducer/hardener and not sure I like it. It was easy enough to control, the pattern seemed ok, no runs, but the texture wasn't good. Looks like orange peel. If I increased the paint it got worse, so I dialed it back down and the droplets were smaller. Added more air and it got better, I think the thinner mix flowed much better. Maybe I'll try 8:3:1 next time and see if I like it better.

Using an HVLP gun is hard for overhead work. Doing the inside cab roof kinda sucked. Might be easier with a smaller cup size. Pretty much got the inside done except the floor. Recoated the back and top. Other than the orange peel texture, I think it turned out good. No sign of the filler spots either. It looks much better.







Might be able to see the texture more in this one.


It might look smoother after it dries and shrinks too. I'm not really worried because there is more primer and blocking to do, just stating what I'm seeing.
