Sorry about that if you saw it=dummy.
Hey, I was looking at that painting article you wrote... did ya' get everything ? Yikes, that was a huge iformation/comparison for sure! Thank you, I'll be printing that! I know what you mean too about using an air brush but only on a repair and even that is a mistake. I have a production gun but a touch up as well. This is the correct tool. Save ya a lot of hours.
I have a question for one who knows all about brushing. I went tp re[ly to another post and think I did the same dopiness there. I hit the wrong button without realizing.
Anyway, I am in the middle of using a black epoxy as filler as someone here had just mentioned. I just did inside the cutouts and a little edge - one side and corners.
The trick comes in here..I'm using it on mahogany which I bleached so far and stained with purple trans. Hit it with a light coat of lacquer to cover the color because the black cannot be added first as it would take off the bleach when you went to sand it down. So now, after letting the "seal" dry a day I've touched the top with 800 paper just to take off the overspray effect. I made a bunch of different applicators for this as I didn't want to sand much for obvious reasons. So, here we go - I hope it works XX I won't know till I actually sand it. Now, IF it works, I need to paint a sunburst people- I want it to be black, but what color black? I called a paint dealer for car paint. They told me that I'd have to look at a few chips and then, when I decide that the paint would cost about 48.00 a quart. It's worth buying the quart, I think only because the difference in price is remote @ 40.00 Pt. Anyway I wonder if buying paint from someone like this is a good idea. I never spent that much on paint before and wonder if I'll "see it", you know? Is it worth it is the question.
So, NOW I'll need to know how one of you might practice and on what, doing a sunburst in black, with what type of nozzle in an air brush. OR have any of you been daring enough to do such a thing with a touch-up gun?
It's just nice to know before you attempt beginning something like this lokking into it and a little practice can't hurt. Wow, all this in mind not even knowing if my sanding the epoxy works yet. It's a thin line to stain, you know?
Any ideas, hit me with them, eh?
Thanx-
Chris
