ok them regulat it at the gun to 20-25 n it spray way better with hvlp

 

It sprayed ok I didn't know anybody with a 2.0 nozzle. I tried to locate one but it didn't work out. It laid down good. I just block sanded with 1000 to make sure it was nice and smooth for the paint. I'd hate to mess with the settings now on the gun cause it sprayed so well. The only reason I have the one thin spot is because I stupidly didn't stand in front o the hood and spray the back lip. Had I done that it woul have covered it. The biggest issue I've had so far was from the spray can self etch. It laid down like non skid. But after I knocked down the bumps the actual primer went down good.

 

I just happen to have read the stovebolt link last night. That's why I did the test an all this morning. I had to adjust the needle a bit but it mad a nice pattern with tiny particles leading away. I took a pic of the test but I can't seemto load it on here from my phone.

 

make sure u clean the gun,if its ur only gun....n if that ut only tip which i dont think so you should of got like 2 or so one for base n clear...1.3 for base n 1.4 clear

 

Grrrrrr so I managed to get a ******* finger print on the hood. I washed the **** out of it. So how do I remove it? It's not been cleared yet

 

Is it a base color or metallic colored paint??

 

u can wet sand the figure print out and put a light coat of base on it,but you to wait till its dried then cleadr,u only can let it seat for 24 hrs now after that u have to sand or wet the whole hood....

 

i hit it with some 1000 then i recoated. it actually came out good. the underside came out like glass but the top not so much. it looks good but it needs some wet sanding and buffing.

here are a few picks from stock till now.

 

Good to hear, looks good man. That truck is the same color green as the HD hood I just cut up to fit my gmc.. If you were still in MD I would have traded ya..

 

well that sucks, that could have saved me a **** ton of time.
