Decided to take the plunge & paint my truck. Used
Rustoleum gloss black and the the shine is awesome. But I do have issues, not with the paint itself, but with the cheap@$#% Harbor Freight gun. I never could get the paint flow quite right. Halfway through the first side, the *%$#)% fell apart! Literally!! The flow set screw came flying of the back of the gun! I had no Idea where the darned thing went so I made a mad dash back to the store to get a new one. I thought that I'd just buy the the $15 gun and just get the set screw rather than buying another $40 one because they looked just alike..... NOT!! Got home and they were totally different! Didn't want to drive back to the store so I figured I may as well try it. It was also at this point that I realized that I'd also forgot to use the water filter I'd bought the first time. Man what a lethal combination!!! The gun leaked paint like a sieve and the filter leaked water and ruined my hard work. The paint it self looks AWESOME, if you don't look at the obvious air bubbles and the globs of dripped paint!!! (which also ruined the garage floor!!) Gonna sand down the bad spots ans do it again, this time with a better gun. Went to Home Depot today and found a much better one. Will keep you posted on the progress!
