[QUOTE="panFried, post: 323163, member: 9467"] First coat is complete :P and Im starting to really like this new HVLP sprayer. I really like the coverage of Parker's paint and I must say spraying it on works much better than rolling. Below are a few pictures, one of the boat after sanding, prepping and primer, the other, when I started to roll the paint on the hull, and decided I was using more paint with less coverage. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Img_1061.jpg"]55215._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Img_1062.jpg"]55218._xfImport[/ATTACH] Today, I set up a make shift paint booth in my garage and ventilated it with a large fan. Then I mixed my paint at 15% ratio, which is recommended by Parker's. After reading the sprayer instructions several times, and dialing it in, I was able to get the first coat on. I will say, it did not come without a few idiot moments, like removing the protective seals on the air filter before trying to use. I couldn't figure out why the paint wasn't coming out of the gun on full setting. #-o All in all I'm very pleased with the paint, and I would definitely recommend if you are looking for that duck boat color scheme.
