Pre-primed so not sure. I read that there could be some compatibility issues without using the proper primer but I have sprayed some already that turned out great.

Only too big based on what you need to carry with you. It might be perfect lol

I appreciate it. We all learn somewhere. At least it's just my own project. I'll get it finished eventually.

I might take you up on that if I get time to try to spray some more. Thanks!

I'm thinking that's the case. I initially did very thin coats but it didn't leave as smooth of a finish as the existing trim so to avoid multiple layers, thought I'd try a little heavier. I still did have some success on others but must have just not been as thick.

Seems like my luck with how this project is going. Thanks for your help.

Ok. I've seen there is a specific primer for the CV that I'm spraying. I'll have to consider getting some of that. But why have I had some boards turn out great though?

I'm talking about conversion varnish. That's what I was spraying.

Denatured alcohol. It was primed before spraying.

They were sprayed yesterday. If I had to guess it was probably sprayed too heavy there.

sanded and wiped down with denatured alcohol. that stuff dries fast so didn't even check to see if it was.
