Anyone thinking of doing a latex paint job.My new paint scheme is going to be a "faux clear-doped linen look" with atrim color edging and nose. The ceconite will be sprayed with a tintedclear dope, but the trim color (a weird british green) is proving very hardto match in dope, so I started looking at latex.I just purchased a new hvlp gun for work and just finished some sprayexperiments with latex and I gotta tell you, anybody out there preparing todo a latex paint job should really consider spraying. I simply am amazed athow nice the test panels came out. The semi gloss I used really mimicsdope, or one could easily spray a clear coat of dope on top and it would bedifficult to tell the difference. Now I just take my paint chip to Home Depot, have them put it under thespectrometer, then hit the auto paint shop for the matching enamel for thesheet metal and we're good to go!Secret seems to be diluting with windshield washer fluid for good sprayingqualities (smaller atomization) and floetrol for better flowing qualitiesonce the paint is on the surface. Mixed solution I used took about 25seconds to exit a standard viscosity cup. Seemed almost impossible to get arun on a vertical surface too, which was kinda neat.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________
