Back to bare metal this time.
Etch prime, 2K prime, rub, rub, rub some more. water based metallic green then 2K clear.
Faults:
- Prep not perfect some a couple of small low spots and fine scratches that i did not get out with fine enough wet & dry.
- A sag in the clear at the front of the bonnet that should flat out nicely later.
- One drip from the clear hit the base paint and disturbed it. Lesson, make sure the top of the pressurized gravity cup is closed tight!
Still learning right amount of thinning required with the hvlp turbine. Will be getting a viscosity cup to be more scientific.
End result, it is good enough for a first effort and my plan for a 10 pace paint job.
