Another go with Etch Primer

It was a warm day here, so I wheeled the shell outside and used thinners to take the aerosol primer off the other side of the car and the dash. Once the majority of it was off, I sanded the rest, and cleaned the rear quarter where the bumper goes and some spots on the dash with the remains of the grinder brush. It was all washed clean and then left in the sun to dry. I wheeled it back in the other way round to last week so that I could paint it with etch. I decided to set the gun up from minimum which was better, but still didn’t seem right as I got a run straight away. After scratching my head a bit, and adjusting the air on the gun, I realised the air control was not working properly. I pulled it apart, then put it back together properly, and managed to paint the rest of the side, and the dash without any real problems, apart from a few spots where I was just a little too quick or slow. Looks good though. More practice and a better gun I think.
