Mk1madness 1 Posted July 27, 2012 Another problem I found when priming the engine bay was access. Not so much of a problem with primer. But with met paint I understand that the gun needs to be about 8 to 10 inches from the panel. Sometimes I couldn't get that close without the top tank or airline connector rubbing on other parts of the bay. It's hard to imagine how you can keep an even distance from the panel with all those nooks, crannies and awkward to reach areas. I know I'm becoming a bit of a bore but there's a lot more to a paint job than first appears. in tough to get in areas turn your gun onto spot spray , youll notice that the pressure sounds to have increased so youll need to turn it down a bit then turn down the fluid delivery so you cant over apply the paint, do the tricky areas first with a couple of coats then open the guns fan and fluid delivery back up and paint the rest of it. regards craig Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
