I think we all need refreshers no matter how long we have been "trying".

I hear you. Most of the time I can do a fairly decent 15 foot paint job, it looks pretty good from 15 feet away! :109: :giggle:

Thanks for putting this up, as well as your drawings! :thumbsup:

It’s been awhile since I painted anything that I wanted it to have a nice gloss. When in the past I painted, I always seemed to think of it like welding. In welding you look at the molten puddle and slowly move the electrode keeping the molten puddle the same size and shape. In painting you watch the paint spraying out the gun and keep the gun moving the same distance away from the work, so the gloss keeps flowing. I’ve painted a few cars and motorcycles but it’s been awhile. :peace: Harry
