AAAAGGGHHHH! Paint WORK,, talk about a buncha persnikkety crap,,SO easy to screw it up & hafta start all over,, tedious stuff, I much prefer the dirty, greasy work on things than the ding danged ratsafrappin snitsafrazzin paint end of it,,
YOu may or may not know this, but I am STILL rasslin with painting a cabinet out in the shop. I dunno WHUT Ive done so wrong.. I have a cheapo gravity fed HVLP type Harbor Fright gun, which is not high quality, we all know, BUT, I WAS getting a good job done with it,,
Then, I cleaned it,, & had to get more paint ready & I think I thinned it a bit more that time,, & I was getting dry areas on the edge of the fan pattern,, SOO, either I need to decrease the fan size, or air pressure or hold it closer or thin it less or, or, or,, & I Dunno which or to go with,,
It didnt have a problem with it running, so,, It wasnt That thin or I didnt get it too close & stack it up & make it drip, or, or, or,,
Anybody able to tell a guy who really doesnt paint a little about HOW to paint? I really dont wanna use anything but sprayed on paint, cuz its a large area & I want it smooove & glossy.. not brush streaked,,
