Alright guys, I kind of have a loaded question, but any advice will be greatly apprecatied.
I am in the process of spray painting the top to my bronco. I picked up the top from the guy who sand blasted it this morning, and then cleaned and sanded down the top with a 180/220 grit sandpaper to make it smoother. I have the top ready, and I went to test the spray gun we have and found that I wasn't getting a constant spray. The spray gun would sputter sometimes when held at full trigger. When I was getting the paint to come out, I was having a hard time to get a smooth line of paint to be laid down on the test peice of metal.
Now the spray gun we are using is about 20 years old - but hasn't ever been used. - its in good conidition. But are there any generic suggestions on what my problem may be other than experience and equipment? Are there certain tips that should be used. I have an external mixer cap on the gun now which is what i was told to use. Are there adjusts I can make to make this work? Thanks for any information and hopefully at the end of this project I might have learned something (possibly don't try to paint at home without a garage, in NC with 60% humitity) - Thanks
