Re: BBW Carden 300 (Prototype)
Now its time to spray primer, I mix the primer 5-1-1, 5 parts K36 primer, 1 part K201 catalist and 1 part DT870 reducer. After you mix the primer you only have about 1 1/2 - 2 hrs. before it sets up so spray your parts and get your gun cleaned out! I use a small HVLP gravity feed spray gun and I run it at about 50 psi. Make sure you use a good moisture filtering system on your aircompressor. I use one on the air compressor and a small one right before it gets to the gun. Moisture from the aircompressor is the fastest way to ruin a paint job. Tack off all the parts and spray a lite wet coat of primer on all the parts and let them dry usually about 20 minutes. Check for pinholes, if you did a good job appling the pinhole filler you will probably only have about 10 or 12 pinholes to worry about. Use the pinhole filler again only on the holes you see and wipe off again with DX330 and shoot another lite coat of primer on the parts. I know I use the DX330 wax and grease remover alot but the other thing that ruins a paint job is oily hands and using this between coats eliminates fish eyes and other blimishes. Let the primer dry 30 minutes or so check once again and make sure you got all the pinholes filled then wet sand with 600 grit sand paper and now you are ready to start spraying color.
