I have been using the primer tip 1.8, which is at the thinner end of what is recommended for the high-build I’m using. I imagine it would lay flatter with a larger tip, but I’m not that worried since I’m going to be blocking the whole thing anyway.

I got 20oz more laid down tonight.  Here is a picture of the progress.

    Restoring a Caddy as time and weather allows

Yeah, that is where I would want to be with my Caddy right about now.  But summer came and summer went and Autumn followed.  Still no sanding or painting done.  No roof replaced on the house either.  I need to do a better job of prioritizing MY TIME next summer.

And the passenger side. It was a lot warmer last night and the primer set up much faster. I ended up losing about 1/3 of what I mixed up and then lost an extra hour cleaning the gun. The learning experience continues!
