Thank God the weather's holding off. I can still paint and not get chilled or fried. The PPG shop Line paint seems easy to use. And yes, The H.F. "Purple Gun" seems to be doing a good job with the slight modifications (From You tube) A few Thousandths of an inch larger nozzle and slight enlargement of the small air ports, .020 - .025 seems to be working well. A slight increase in pressure at the gun to about 25lbs seems to have helped. It seems , from what I've heard, this gun likes pressure 20 - 25 lbs.
Marshall, I'm consoling myself with exactly that. I saved an original part! It's a California car so the rust issues are small. How did the fenders get so many dents from underneath?
Midget racer, I was wondering about that! In fact, I was trying to think of a bigger challenge. Try as I might, I couldn't come up with a more exposed part, with more arcs, and radii and curves and seam lines and I could not. Oh well, mine's not as bad as some I' ve seen and it's shiny!
