Natural Metal Finish - 3
STEP 2: Painting the car
5: I used Alclad2's new single action airbrush,
the Accurate ALC-9200, to spray the paint on the
shell for the first time. The needle adjusting screw
was set to provide a 1" fan pattern. The airbrush
atomized the paint very well and I am very pleased
with the finish it provided.
6: The base coat
paint is Scalecoat
II NYC Dark Gray
and it was thinned
approximately 60%.
Each coat was applied
medium wet with a
50% stroke overlap.
I waited 5 minutes
between coats. After
allowing the Scalecoat II color to cure three days
at 77F to 80F temperatures, I proceeded to apply
Alclad2 formula #105 by misting it on in long, even
horizontal strokes. The air pressure was set at
12 psi and the airbrush was approximately 2 to 4
inches away from the car's surface.
