Hopefully you can see the writing on the following photo. I am presently using the tablet computer, and it's camera is CRAP!

Spray about 1/2 a second of paint directly at a scrap of something flat, doing so at 90 degrees. Examine the pattern and compare to the examples in the poor quality photo, above.

If you have a fax number or email address you want to send me in a PM, I will copy and send you any applicable pages from the book. Bare in mind the textbook is old, the wisdom is timeless!

Thanks for the info Tony . I'm using a suction touch up gun for the smaller parts and a larger STAR S770 suction gun for big bits . The protec paint is pretty glossy so i did add a bit more flatter base , using enamel thinners , no harder plus lots of stirring mixing between coats . one thing i need to look at is my hose length is very long about 8 -10 meters and looking at this you tube below maybe my fan is to wide I'm trying to get to much coverage might need to bring it in a bit . looks like from your book i need to make sure when i do that quick test spray i have the oval spray shape pattern .
