Default Re: Priming or Painting Misc Parts

Chuck if you are going to float the paint you need to use deionized water... which is purified,
I have done the dip painting and the paint must be thinned more than you would think in order to not get a heavy build.


In order to not activate too much paint, I mixed a quart and then put it in an old syrup bottle which has a smaller hole, then I coated the parts starting at the top, collected the excess in a roller tray then when empty I filtered the paint and refilled the bottle. What was left I poured into the ends of the frame or into the cowl sides and let it run out the rockers.
