Default paint

well after some difficulty with the primer, I finally got the lower unit primed and painted. I started to prime it on Wednesday and the primer shot out of the gun in ways I have never seen before. I tried every trick I know with no luck. I called the paint store and found out they gave me the wrong primer. I had to drive an hour to exchange it for the right one and then an hour home. The new primer sprayed great and I was able to do the topcoat two hours later. I will post some pictures but as always it is hard to get good shots in the shop. I mounted a blower on the outside of the shop and blew air in through heater filters and then out a window on the other side of the door. I hung tarps from the roof down one side of the shop to make a curtain wall. The curtain wall moves the incoming air to the back of the shop and then it makes it's way back to the front window. It worked great with very littel overspray.
