I tried extending a thread on the originality forum, but not much luck there:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=152778 Anyone have photos of an original or 100% properly restored 914-6 showing the rear fender wells and bottom side of the rear trunk? It seems like black undercoating is never right as it was just applied by the dealers or ports (or something), and besides it's ugly. So, it seems like the good options for these areas appears to be: 1. metal -> primer -> body color paint 2. metal -> primer -> grey PVC undercoating 3. metal -> primer -> grey PVC undercoating -> body color paint Or ? -Steve |

I have that gun as well. Sprayed SKS Stoneguard with it on a 911T. I was really happy with the results on that. Which actually lend credence to my theory that the seam sealer I'm trying to spray is just too thick/sticky to pebble correctly.

I've shot both Wurth and Fusor through the other gun and couldn't get either to match. Like you said, it seems like the product is too thick for the orifice, but once you get the pressure to where it will put it out, it's near impossible to get the right texture without getting a ton of material |
