The Colonel and I were looking at a friends 34 Ford pick up rod.....he said " yeah, the paint huh, I haven't got a good spray gun ,matter of fact , I haven't got a spray gun at all....it's the one at the back.....
I reckon he'd painted it with a 4 inch brush too......but I've gotta say that was four years ago and we saw it last week , and it looks like it's fresh out of the show-room........
Anyway, back to amateur hour. There are any number of pitfalls in the drive-way spray job....just as I mixed up my first pot full... on the ground of course , my phone rang.......I looked at who it was and elected not to answer( long story)...this distracted me long enough for me to forget what I was doing and not screw the needle control knob into the gun. I took the top off the pot and poured the color into the gun( a gravity)....from where it promptly poured straight out of the tip and into the case for the spray gun.....no I didn't see it because I was concentrating on the pouring job , the paint was obscured by the pot and body of the gun, it was when I heard the splashing sound sound that my ears pricked up.....great, good start.
For once I didn't knock the new can over with the air hose, drip paint out of the air hole all over the job , trip over the air line or use gun wash instead of thinners in a coat , nor did I somehow attract a million insects on a suicide mission seconds after the first coat has gone on, but I did manage to get some over spray on one of the wheels....just to keep the look right.
I might be slow, but I'm bloody rough.
George knows that.
