Got back from my outing this morning and started into the last bit of work for this part of the project.
Mentioned that I was going to use a finishing filler to take out the one paint run I had. Never got that far because I used the razor method and you have to be extremely diligent. Used a razor blade and drew it over the paint run - my paint guy mentioned this. It worked and was a lot faster. Every so often I would lightly wet sand with 1000/1200 grit.
Did three pieces this morning. The two saddlebag doors and the trunk. Used my new $20.00 Princess Auto special paint spray gun. The gun had to be cleaned before I could use it, had internal packing grease. Cleaned up nicely. Some Info:
The paint gun did a nice job. Set at 20 to 25 PSI, had a spray pattern of 5 inch from 6 inch distance:
Could have opened up the fan a bit but it worked out.
Still intend to do a cut and polish. Will be picking up the kit tomorrow.
Here are some pics of today's painting. Can't see much but it looks good up and personal. Second pic shows some pearl:
More to follow. Cheers
