So I'm thinking after another wet-sand tomorrow, I may throw a coat of paint on...just to see how it goes. The primer was a lot easier than I thought. I'm learning that I can always sand it smooth and put another coat on. I've got to get to the paint store in the morning to get some more catalyst for the primer. I'm about out. Maybe I'll get some more advise while I'm out there...

Long day in the garage, but I feel like I got a LOT done...

I have a little gun that I stuck pack there and just went wild with. I'll post a pic of it later, but it's a little gravity feed from HF. (Purple dude) ok...I'm off to the garage for more wet-sanding!

Thanks Wayne...

Ok, so I went to the paint store to get more Catalyst. The lady said I should have just needed one pint for a gallon of primer...Hmmm...

Turns out, they gave me the WRONG INSTRUCTIONS! They gave me the K36 SEALER, not the K36 PRIMER. I SHOULD have been mixing at 5:1. I was mixing at 4:2:2...oops.

No worries...I sanded everything down this morning, and just shot it with the RIGHT mixture. this stuff goes on like butter when the mix is right!

Hides ALL the little scratches and scuffs...Nice stuff.

I'll offer up a better report later tonight when I wet-sand it again. I'm aiming to put the first coat of paint on in the morning!

Wish me luck!!!!!

Ok...We have the tub 100% primed!

Here's the ammo I used for the job. PPG K36 High-Fill primer.

In the photo, the can says "primer, resurfacer", The "instructions" they gave you were for shooting on a sealer? I'm sooo confused!
Re the vice grips. Steaks...Hood...beer...door jamb...seat and good company, I'm thinking it was a pretty good trade (I never ride for free!!)(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif)

There is a K36 Sealer, and a K36 Primer...they just gave me the wrong sheet.

The chemist I talked to said what others backed up. What I did was probably a GOOD thing...putting a sealer on top of bare metal. It wanded down great, and after wet-sanding, it was smooth as a baby's butt.

So what did I do today???

First Samson and I hooked up the fuel pump back up and got her started...just to knock the dust out. Turned over about 5-6 times, then Vroom!

After that was out of the way, we started masking off the trunks to prepare for paint.

Here's my handywork...It's bumpy in the back because the PO POR-15d the daylights out of it.
