CNKS,
I know you have done alot of painting so I thought you might have some answers on this subject. As you can see from the pic, I just painted the fuel tank and battery box. I know some of you guys use some pretty exotic paints along with hardeners etc. This is your basic enamel paint job, I used IH Red and thinned it slightly and applied it with my Porter Cable HVLP gun. I thought I was very careful about preperation etc. My eyesight is still good even at 55 but when I get within about a foot of the finished surface, in a few places I can see very faint fisheyes on the surface. I wipped the entire surface with paint thinner before I started. Wondering what would cause those slight imperfections ? Is there anythingt else I can do to prevent that ? Overall Im quite satisified, considering I dont have alot of experience doing this type of thing, just trying to get your feelings. Thanks.
scotty
