I have never had such a hard time with getting bugs in the paint.
I have had more bad luck painting this tractor than anything I have ever painted. First as I was finishing up my first two coats, my air compressor fell over and broke the regulator off in the tank. I got that fixed and then it kept blowing fuses and was smoking from the motor, so it was time for a new one. Now that I have that taken care of I am trying to put on the final coat and I keep getting those stupid little gnats in the top final coat. I have already had to wet sand once to get them out of the final coat and I tried to recoat today and sure enough as soon as I finished those darn things starting flying into the paint again. So now I am going to have to wet sand and try it again.
I am painting in a garage and I see no bugs at all when I am painting and then they just kind of appear in the paint as I am finishing.
Do any of you have any tricks or something you add to the paint to keep the bugs away. I have tried the old lemon juice trick before and it did not work? I am starting to lose my patience on this tractor, I really want to get it done so I can get it out of there and finish up my puller so I can actually play with it some this summer.
