My 70 Dart

A lot has happened since then, and most of it is frustrating. I had the paint come off those pieces like crazy because of mixing lacquer with urethane. Seems they didn't like each other. Paint came off easier and faster than any stripper I ever used, and I've used some real good stuff. I had some paint sitting around for over 2 years. It's 3 component base/clear used in general aviation. I finally got my trunk to a straightness that I could live with. I painted it with the aluminum paint. Flowed out real nice, but I had micro blisters from me being stupid and not using the correct mix ration. Overall not bad, flowed out very nice, but the stinking blisters, solvent pop. Well, I let it sit for now, cause when it's in the sunlight you can't see them. Well, I got the hood pretty good. Then painted it and AGAIN, I was in a hurry and absent minded and wrong mix ratio!!! Damn it!! Blisters. I sanded them down to where you couldn't feel or see them. Today, I went out there and did the right mix, but craters. LOL, what the hell? I thought I may have contaminated the mix with paint thinner. So I grabbed rags and solvent and wiped it off, then wiped it till it was clean. Tack ragged it and mixed again, making sure everything was clean and free from anything that didn't belong in the paint. Sprayed and the paint just would not flow out. Getting pretty aggravated at this time. So I mixed up another batch and sprayed, well it seems that the paint just does not want to flow. At least that's what I'm thinking. I had some left over MAK that is the main solvent used in the paint, I put that in there and mixed it well. I am going to wait for the hood to cure and see what's up. I will set it aside and try painting the front valance next. I'll sand it with 400 or 500 grit paper, wipe good, tack rag then mix up paint and see what happens. I'll post pictures of the pop when I can. Took pictures, just haven't dl'd them yet. And this is not the first time I have sprayed this stuff, I have sprayed it quite a bit.
