Coming along nicely... You'll never go back to brushes. :) When you get to the latex paint, make sure to let it dry completely before sanding or else the paint will "gum up" on the sandpaper and ruin your day. |

The primer looks great. How much did you dilute the primer with the laquer thinner? One part thinner to how many parts paint? |
| WunderCade:
I think that primer is water based, like the paint. Which means you dilute it with water. The lacquer thinner is for clean up only. |

I'm not sure of the mix ratio, but it was probably around 2-3 parts paint to 1 part water. The first time with the water, it was still a little too thick, so I added more. It was much more liquid than I would have expected to get a good coat, but it worked well. Plus your paint goes farther ;D |
