I am in the process of painting my 46 chopped couple. Since I don't like messing with pouring paint out of a gallon can, I got smart, I thought. I went to my local hardware store and bought one of the pour spouts that snap onto a gallon can. Poured a bit less than a quart, added activator and reducer and started to shoot the trunk door. Fish eyes every where.
First I thought water in hoses, nah, that would not fish eye. Oil, nope have filter at gun and compressor. Okay, it has to be the paint. Maybe. I was telling my wife about my problem and she said, you know that spout is made from silicone, would that make a difference. Viola!
So now I had to order another gallon from California, pay the Hasmat fee, since I want it by Saturday it has to go air. Don't every use one of those nice silicone pour lids, Grasshopper.
Why from California? It is Hot Rod Flatz paint and nobody locally mixes it. You have to use a flat clear over base coat for the effect. Hot Rod Flatz doe not require clear, and it is UV protected.
