I've had at least one Mustang, usually two or three since 1967. My very first one was a slightly used Rangoon Red 65 coupe. After buying the White GT I sold all my old ones, my son bought my 67 S code/390 fast back.

Sorry to hijack your thread, now back to regular programing.

That's a nice shade of blue, not a lot of over spray.

It is worth having a good HVLP spray gun. I like it better than the old high pressure gun that I learned on! Bottom line, if you plan to spray your own paint invest in a good gun and quality materials.

I was amazed when I switched to hvlp. When I painted an old tractor with an old siphon feed gun I had orange clothes, shoes and a ten-foot circle of orange sand. I only have trouble with the vent on top. I usually manage to tilt gun a little too much and get dripping from top. You're almost finished now. Looking good.

Thanks guys! I solved the run/sag clearcoat issue by double flash time in colder weather. 30 minutes between coats worked perfect! I can’t help but start getting excited, only door exteriors and bed left to paint!

I'm glad you solved that annoying problem, painting is a real science.

I put the vent to the left as I am right handed and rarely tilt the gun left. This reduces slosh in most positions.

I'll try that next time. Maybe fill less too.
