1969 Camaro Trunk paint

[NoYenko]

Lynn, I did the same search for the Binks gun and didn't come up with much. I am sure they painted with a pressure pot system fed from a drum of paint. They probably painted it faster than I typed this post. I got the fresh batch of paint from John Berlage and it does lay down smoother/flatter. I have been talking with our local paint store and he suggested thinning with rubbing alcohol rather than water. He also told me years ago they would heat enamel to 100-120 degrees to make it thinner rather than adding reducer. So today I put the fresh batch in a crock pot heated it to 120 and stirred it real well.(<span style="font-weight: bold">This paint is FLAMABLE so be very careful).</span> I used my 2.5 primer gun and the finish laid down much better this time. Last time I sprayed with the gun I maxed out the regulator at 60psi so this time I didn't use the regulator, I dialed the pressure back on the gun inlet. It seems to give me a better pattern on the aqua paint balls when you start the pass. The other thing I was having a problem with before was the thick black globs plugging the top of the siphon tube so I made up sort of a strainer at the bottom to break up the globs but allow the paint balls to pass.I don't know if it will show in these pictures but I think its looking better. I won't be able to match to my friends car as he has it stored away in a bubble till spring. George
