Top notch job. I can't wait to finish mine...I'm imagining the thrill of completion!!

RE: maker/source of reel? I love the idea. I've also got a spare hose reel and was thinking about what to do with it. I'll keep my eye this thread to find out what tank size I'll need.

:ditto:

Re: RE: Proper Brake Bleeding Ditto on the "do it yourself". I used a pc. of steel as soldier "B"'s foot. I did a bit of running back and forth but it worked well.

I think you better wait at least until I'm done to determine your poopoo level...This is my first time painting. I'm a machinist not a body shop expert remember????

Man you are goin' fast on that project. Is that semi-gloss green or that brownish color?

I'm looking hard at Durabak because their color matches my desert tan 686 closest. I'm leaning towards durbak because it looks very simple...just open the can, mix it up and apply. Others I've looked at, like grizzly grip, offer similar colors and can match colors w/in 15% but they require...

I've been using jasco first followed by rust-oleum gray primer. I've only used the laquer thinner prior to priming. I felt the mineral spirits left more of a residue than the laquer thinner but what do I know???? Regarding how dry it was. That day it was pretty dry and kinda warm especially...

Welcome 54REO. Glad you could join us.

Bro, I figure a month and i'm back on the road. Regarding the 105, I'm gonna take a vacation from sanding for a while.:roll:

I can't believe I'm finally starting to bring my deuce back together again. I set up my outdoor paint booth, sprayed some H2O in the bottom to catch some overspray, put on my white hooded bunny suit, resporator and started a mixin' and a paintin'. Thanks to all for your help regarding how to...

got it! Thanks all.

Re: RE: winch removal definitely a torch. I beat on bolts way too long before using the torch...fired up the torch then one, two, three and they were out with no damage to the brackets etc.

Sounds good. Do I have to worry about thinning the paint when using the 1.4mm? If so, how much???

If others have just cranked up the pot pressure, i'm all for it. Anyone painting the new 2 part CARC with 1.4mm? If so, please offer some set up numbers I.E. pot pressure, gun pressure, comments, suggestions etc.

I've got an HVLP gun kit from harbor freight http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=93305 It comes with a 1.4mm but my CARC recommends 1.8mm. Anyone know where I can buy the proper nozzle kit? H.F. doesn't have it and their tech. staff isn't too helpful...friendly...
