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 |

RIGHT :
No idea what the pressure was but it was LOW. Fluid almost all the way open, ( just before getting a solid stream ). You have to get kind of of close, and move slow, but it gets the result. I will also add this gun had set long enough the old SKS had started to set up so there are some hard pieces in it. I'll also add this was on a vertical surface. Horizontal would be a bit tricky as this stuff is on the thin side and will want to droop LEFT : Higher pressure, further distance, got too smooth. Any more fluid openeing ( I think this is actually closing the orifice, despite the knob coming out ) and it gets a really small grainy pattern Attached thumbnail(s) |
