Looks great. Where did you get the diposable spray gun?

How did you manage to not get dust, dirt and lint? Do you have your own spray booth? Awesome BTW...

Default Looks good, from one spray jockey to another, but I think your 'reducer' use is too high...

It should only be about 1/3 of the paint.

Default The paint did look to thin, but the instructions from Deltron said to use 1:1

and if there were any additives, it would have been 3:1:1/2.

Since this is my first time, is there a problem with having used 1:1?

Default my "ghetto booth" was in the garage, with one fan blowing from the inside

and another at the doorway, that way I had constant aircirulation going out. I only crossed my fingers that no dust got on the paint. ;-)

Use a flexible filler or primer, then spray over! all gone!
