So here are the pics of the Epoxy primer i was using the mixing cup i was using and the harbor freight spray gun.
one thing I did figure out I was doing wrong was my ratio the parts store guy told me to go 4:1:1 and when I was taking the picture of the cup, I realized I was doing 4:1:10% and not filling the reducer all the way? maybe this is part of the problem? I'm 99% sure the reducer is what I was only filling 10% and not 25% because I was adding the hardener second and it was what was brown.
now i wonder if im going to have to sand it all down or blast it again
