Ok.. I don't measure that way. After years of painting I can do it by eye, and a quick shot. I was taught by a master painter, and he is an amazing painter.
I have sprayed rustolium from my Binks #7 thinning with Acetone with good results and a not overly fast flash time.nah... try mineral spirits.
edit: that's funny, they used to recommend mineral spirits. I just went and looked, and they now recommend acetone on the web site for thinning, but further down, they say that mineral spirits is the solvent... I have old can's that I probably need to throw out, and it says thin with mineral spirits... F'd up.
the new can's say mineral spirits or acetone, I would not use acetone as it would evaporate too quickly. I am looking for it to lay out nicely, and I have to believe I would get a little orange peel if I used acetone. I don't think it would ever go on too dry, since it still has it's own mineral spirit solvents and needs to dry .. but the MS as a thinner works very well.
That’s an awesome band saw and nice paint! What did you thin that with? I used the same paint with a similar color on my walker Turner sensitive drill press. I just use a brush because I couldn’t find thinning information.thanks yes and I used mineral spirits this time, thanks for the tip. I'm self taught and haven't done all that much painting so your comments and input are appreciated. here are some pics of the last project I painted, much larger job but went much smoother. used the same painting system but used SW Industrial Enamel with Kem Kromik primer.
