Thanks! No trouble with bleed through. I had read that about the chalk but I didn't have any. I like the tight fade vs. a wider fade or a taped line.

As far as my gun goes, the paint is too atomized, ie: the spray fan is wide and hard to focus. Usually that is a good thing because I'm typically shooting lacquer and you want it to blend so you need a lot of overlap. If you have a detail gun that would probably work great. I laid out the...

I second the Resilience endorsement. It is not as cheap as the Behr, but cheap paint in my mind is not always a wise option. You will have a hard time trying to "scuff" CARC, and its not necessary. Clean off the dirt and grease and if the paint is tight, go right over it. Unfortunately, SW...

What Steve said. A lot of the decision making depends on current condition and desired results. Sandblasting is probably not necessary unless you have a lot of rust or are going for a museum quality restoration. You can spot treat rust by scraping then sandblasting or using phosphoric...

Yeah, the green on the bumper on the left one looks right on with mine. I can't really tell about the brown from your pic. I didn't think about it before, but I have a friend who painted a deuce with the Gillespie recently and I'll take some paint sample cards over to that truck and see what I...

That looks a lot darker than the Carc on the underside of my truck as well. Mine appears to have a lot more yellow in it. I wish I had a good sample of what the brown should be. My brown and black on the topside of the truck is pretty faded.

I got the same answer. Went to my local SW and they checked with the industrial lines rep and he told them there was some kind of shop certification required to purchase it.

Another reason for using an airless besides not having to thin the paint is not having to keep the gun mostly vertical as you would with a conventional cup gun or hvlp rig which is beneficial if you are having to paint under the truck. Luckily the paint on the underside of my truck is in really...

I do have a business account with Sherwin Williams and do use products from their industrial line, but I'm also liking the benefits the acrylic paint crowd is talking about. I much prefer SW over Behr and since the color formulas on this thread won't work evidently at my Home Depot, I'm gonna...

Just got back from Home Depot where I was gonna get samples of Carc made up. I don't know if the girl who helped me knows what she is talking about, but she said the formulas that I brought in from the paint can pics earlier in this thread couldn't be matched because they had changed their...
