glassdave/grafikworx,

What do you guys use as to spray the paint? I use to work at Lockheed Martin and we used pure nitrogen. Never compressed air, didn't matter how many dryers or filters you had inline you would still get contamination. That was their reasoning anyway.

Hey Dave I spent the day under my boat. I am getting it ready for when you come out. I will stop off at Wally World and get a chair with a drink holder so that I am comfortable while you work

GlassDave,

I love the info on this thread,and yes I did sit hear and read all 32 pages of it.I have one question for you,After sanding the old paint do you spray a coat of DP401LF before the k-36?or do you just go right to the 36?Then do you coat again with the 401 after sanding the 36 and just as the first layer of paint goes down?

Thank Nordic95
