That's not that shiny. Looks good. I use reducer 1 part reducer to 4 parts paint. If it does not come out as I like I ad a little more reducer. That hood looks real good.

Got anything to put it on?

Very Funny !!! And I will...

24087 is glossy! That's the color they recommend for a M38. I tried it and their other browner color and went back to 33070. Too shiney and the shade was lighter than my original perfect paint I found under things like the tags and inside the headlight pots. As long as you paint all the same, it will look fine. If you don't like it, let it cure and paint over it with the duller stuff. Lee, Your red ass is a 44 ? 319 is early 33070 is late. I'll have to deduct points now---------do as I say or you're fired . I'll have to confiscate it since you are doing it wrong. I'll wait until you have all the right parts on it though. Ok, time for you to fire back at me! Oil

Haines, forgot to tell you I use Xylene, 4 : 1. The 111 primer will run on bare metal quite easy, so put on several light coats. The OD covers with less paint, and doesn't run as easy. I always put my runs in the primer first. That way I have a concours restoration. The GI's painted them and weren't concerned about overspray and runs, so none were perfect. Adjust your particular gun to spray well with the least amount of air. All guns are different. You just have to find the sweet spot for adjustments and air. Then a correct distance away from the surface and a steady motion trying to get a wet thin cover without running. Too wet = runs, too dry and thin = lots of orange peel rough look. When you paint your tub, I suggest you put it on a rotating stand. You'll need to paint with the wind and move front to back. To get up under the dash, you end up spraying through the shifter hole. Plan it so you don't get trapped. The hard spot is trying to get paint under the side rail on top of the rear wheel wells. With the rotating stand, you can hold the gun better by putting the body where you want it for easier spraying. Make any sense to you? The rotating stand is nice with wheels, so you can roll it back in the garage before rain, dirt and bugs get you. A paint booth is heaven because of air flow and lights. Outside isn't bad if you don't have wind, bugs, and rain. Overspray settling back on your job is a disaster. It will botch the job. Too much air in you gun will cause allot of overspray. I call it backyard technique. . 10 days until seat time here! Windshields down, pine smell in your face, let's go! John

Yuk, Yuk, love to stir the pot. Should be tall tales in the air over here. Starting about Fridy PM, if not sooner. Why don't you just bring that paper over here in person for me to read. John
