I am by NO means a GENIUS painter, but have had a lot of experience, starting out painting John Deere & International Cotton Pickers, using QUALITY Synthetic Enamel with Lacquer Reducer. I've seen some WEIRD things!!!
1-Leo, an experienced painter, used a little Dish Soap in his sanding bucket, on a Mercury Bobcat. While doing the FINAL detailing, the paint BLEW off in SHEETS, shortly he had the WHOLE car STRIPPED!!
2-Ed had his '62 Mercury painted @ Earl Scheib, after 3 years in the SUN, it faded, he complained & they LAFFED.
3-One Guy mixed up Synthetic BLACK enamel, with a hardener, even after using his shaker, it had small soft lumps. WHIZZED it in an OLD Blender, let it sit overnight, to dissipate the BUBBLES & it worked well. After sitting in the SUN for 3 days, he color sanded & buffed it, BEAUTIFUL!!!
4-Has anyone used that "masking" spray in a rattle can? It goes on in a light BLUE, like the protective coating on WHITEWALLS. Washes off with PLAIN water!
