I think i am a convert

#1 Post by paddyz1 » Sun May 09, 2010 11:01 am

I have been using cellulose paint for years now as my first choice.
Over the past 2 weeks i have been painting the Falco. The colour i wanted was only available in 2K so i had to go with a full 2K system.

Today I put on the second coat of primer, and like the first it was perfect (well not quite as i got a single run in the first coat) I can't believe how easy and smooth it is. Mixing was easy, Spraying was easy, sanding down was easy.

The only reason i have never used 2K was that you waste what you don't use but with careful planning i wasted about a bottle caps worth.

Top coat next week. I will report back.

Just a word of warning, you should never use 2k paint without using a full face air fed mask and painters coveralls.
