I know........ I'll use some thinners

Brilliant Idea, I'd go with that for sure!!

Get some thinners!!!

Shall have another mess about tomorrow, see if i can improve it a whole load.

SUCCESS!! I now know what the knobs are for ( ). Top one was spray pattern, and the next one down was paint flow. The reason I had the spray pattern turned to minimum, was because the paint was indeed to thick, so it would only spray out in a blob. So thinned it down, messed about setting the gun up, upped the pressure by .5 bar and now its MINT! So much better than before.

So thanks for helping me out with that lads!

Can't spray any more coats yet, because I've run out of thinners for cleaning the gun (not related to above ), so tomorrow I'll get the old chap over there and we can sort out what's already on the car.

Just got back in. Been down the garage since 1 sorting out the pigeon crap that splatted out the gun Thursday. Sanded it all back to get it nice and flat, mixed up the paint, with added THINNERS, thanks to SEAN. It sprayed on brill . Still not A1 but MUCH more acceptable, should looks spot on

Never took any pictures last time . The car is being rubbed down again so nothing to take pictures of really . Might be able to get down there Thursday morning before work, and hopefully another coat to go on at the weekend!

I can translate this if you like?

"Theres no freaking way I'm gonna let anyone see how the paint job turned out, now I've actually taken Shiftys advice I'm gonna have another crack it. I hoped people would have forgotten about this thread and let me hide my mistakes quietly. "

I think thats about right?

Heh heh heh heh!!

LOL!! Someone gave me a handy tip yesterday, he said I needed some thinners in the mix?
