I think the problem is my paint gun. I've tried all sorts of pressures, needle settings, and air settings as well as different viscosities. The best I could do was marginally acceptable, and that was on a small part. As a kid, I helped a friend of my dad's, who was a professional body man, and never had this problem. Of course he had good equipment.
I am planning to get a HVLP gravity feed gun and see how that works.
Marginally acceptable is unacceptable when it comes to the 'Bolt.
Jim,
Good to hear from you! Also, thanks for the advise. Any progress on the engine rebuild?
Sounds like it might be a little dryer in your neck of the woods...LOL
Our humidity hasn't been below 8000% in weeks.
