Klass Kote Greens

DeKupps by Devilbiss. Disposable paint cups are the way to go. I can clean my gun with about 6 oz of thinner and takes about as long as cleaning an airbrush. With the airbrush, I gotta clean the cup too.

Another plus with the DeKupps is that you won't suck air if you tip your gun sideways. Like a baby bottle.

While the painters are gathered , I'm looking for small measuring containers to mix 8:1 catalyzed automotive paints in very small quantities for use with my airbrush . I find myself wasting a lot of paint because I can't accurately measure small quantities . thanks .

KEZ Did you you the satin or gloss 2X? The gloss does not lay down as well as the satin and has to be sanded. JB

Jerry, I did use the Rustoleum 2X gloss because that's what they had at the time. Actually, gloss paint is not a bad idea as it will make imperfections stand out. I like to sand the entire boat with 600 before clear and the gloss paint would let me know if there is any spot that I missed. I plan to let the paint harden for a week before I clear it. Will let you know how it works out
Thanks, k

Always fog on first coat. It always helps with incompatibility issues and sticks much better. Just think of what a pain in the A%$ it is to clean over spray off of something. "One good coat of paint" is never a good coat of paint.

So the Rustoleum 2X has been drying for a week. It is softer than epoxy paint for sure. I applied the graphics after wet sanding the entire hull with 1000 paper. I used KlassKote clear. For a small job like this, I am too lazy to use my touch up gun. I decided to give the Prevail sprayer a try.

The sprayer actually did a pretty good job with lower pressure than a touch up gun. It sprays like HVLP. It came out OK. It will not win any concur for sure but I just want to put some color on it and go run. Oh, it does not show in the photo. But while leaving it out in the backyard to dry, a gust of wind blew a sheet of plastic on the still wet paint...I will need to wet sand it out and recoat. The KlassKote clear appeared to be compatible with the Rustoleum.
