Well, I got the underneath side of the hood painted just now. It came out pretty good. I seen one spot that I didn't cover real well but I think it will be covered by the liner. Now if it will hurry and dry I can get to the good part. The part I spent three days priming and blocking. Man oh man is it gonna be sexy!!!!

 

keep ur base on 20 psi!! n clear a bit higher for slickiness 3 coats for both hope it turns out good for you...make sure u have the right SEALER....

 

if u feel un-sure alwas put another coat...

 

The underside I already cleared. It cover real well besides that one spot. But it's the underside so I wasn't worried about it. The top is where it will get tons of love. Why 20psi? It called for 35-40psi. I'm just asking, as I Don't do this everyday.

 

The primer is a sealer also from the tech I read. Feather fill 2g.

 

what kind of gun do you have?
it will show max psi on the side,i use sadas jets

 

It's a cheapy from discount. I'll get the name off the box. But it seems to be doing well. Reread the tech on the primer it says required no sealer. It's a high build that takes a hardener like bondo. It's thick stuff let me tell you. I had to take the whole hood to bare metal due to rust spot under rock chips. Then I hit it with a few coats of self etching primer then 3 coats of the feather fill and blocked the snot out of it between each coat of primer.

 

Nikota industrial. 15-50psi.

 

When I use a gun I always set the air for the spray pattern. You want the air high as it will atomize the paint particles better. The idea behind it is to raise the air pressure to get the best atomization. Pressure too low, your pattern will look like a football, and pressure too high it will look like an hour glass. Try to get a slim even shaped almost cigar like shape, and the pressure will be just right. Don't even bother looking at a gauge, you are looking for that pattern. Besides some recommended pressures are taken at the cap, and you need a special tool for that.

 

i wwould put an sealer on it dude really! thats me...at least a coat...if i were u would,paint u cant get cheap with it,cuz u get what u paid for,i use ppg at work and the cheapest color(from any where u get it is black) and its 300 a gallon...i painted my 91 chevy n it cost me 3500 in just supplies,you just dont get cheap with at least not with the clear n the i have on is 400 dollars a gallons...if u ever wana make a show truck of out it use some slick sand now thats some hard *** **** the man,it dries you have to sand it with 80 grit its like concret,might be even hard then concret,i even threw it at the floor n the **** wouldnt break,n its really cheap also like 120 a kit thats a gallon n 4 tubes of harder...what brand are you using ?
