'53Merc Update
Well I'm feelin' kinda pleased with myself tonight on account a' I painted for the first time with a HVLP spray gun I'd bought on sale at Princess Automotive.The first coat of primer on my new bedsides, tailgate and doors went on real easy and turned out very well if I do say so myself
However, I'm real tired after a busy weekend and I have lots more to do after work this week which I'm quite looking forward too!

I bought it in a kit about 6 months ago, on sale of course! It has a large & small gun in a grey plastic case. They are both HVLP guns and came with a clean up kit and air micrometer for precise air control! But what do I know , I'm a beginner at this stuff Model # KC-206.
Put the paint on the back of the cab, the 3" dropped dash I fabricated and a few othe rsmall pieces along with the reverse dise of the doors.
It's progress not perfection

Fomoko1;
I was nervous about it as well but the urethane primer/catalyst 2 part primer I used was surprisingly easy and forgiving. I'm feeling very good and my learning curve is flattening out nicely!
Perhaps the combination of HVLP & new product really are good innovations.
