primered today

Post by ken's1971 »

just telling my experience. It went easier than i thought it would but by the time i was done i was soaked in sweat. Lots of work to paint a vehicle.
but anyway my primering went ok. i used ppg omni brand primer and plan to use to omni paint too. Now that it is primered every imperfection shows up, this should help when i do bodywork.

Some tricks i learned, what they say is true about practicing on an old piece of sheetmetal. The reason is because you don't know how fast to move the gun when your spraying. it takes experience to know how fast to move it. but it is more forgiving than i thought it would be. The second thing that i learned that is true is you need lots of light and LOTS of it. it actually started getting dark when i was done i know it was a mistake to do it that way but it was now or never. so anyway light is good.

When you reply to a topic, scroll down and you will see something called "Attatchment Posting Control Panel". You will see a button that says Add an Attatchment. Click on that.
You will now see a field labeled Filename with a Browse button next to it. Click the Browse button and find the file you want to post on your computer. When you have selected the file, click open. You will now see the filename in the Filename field of the Attatchment Posting Contro Panel.
Adda any comments you want to add, and click the Add Attatchment button next to the comments field. The file will now be appended to your post. If you want to post additional pics with this post repeat the process starting with the browse button. Otherwise click submit.
You can test this out in the testing forum. It sounds complicated but once you've done it a time or to, it's easy.
Good luck!
