I had done some in the past but just machinery and crap. Nothing this detailed.

I can sand it off and try again." Remember, I'd freak with a Trans in my sink, and I'm a machinist by trade! It's all relative.

So ya think I should stick with my plan and shoot it all in pieces?

Yup, I think I have the correct equipment. I run full pressure from my compressor(s) and regulate at the gun to 30-40psi. I've got one of them little inline coalescing filters at the gun too. This is the first gun I've used that has the air flow control tho and it seems I'm always fiddlin with that thing. As far as the hi-build primer goes I'm sure I just need to thin it out more. I remember back when I was doing the cab I had the same thing goin on and finally figured it out. Short term memory must be fading!! I really appreciate the help man!
