So much awesome Randy! I feel your pain on the body work-I'm doing some of that fun stuff myself. I need to go buy some HS and poly primers...probably a couple gallons. I bought an Airgunsa AZ3 with a 3.0 tip for the poly primer, haven't used it yet, but I wanted to get the biggest needle I could as I don't want the stuff to kick in the gun-that would really ruin my day.

Thank you! I’m amazed at how many hours this stage of the build can eat up.. it all pays off when the paint hits it’s though! You have a build thread on what your currently working on? I have a 2.3 tip gun and it takes everything it’s got to push that polyester through the gun and works my compressor pretty hard because it’s wide open.. the 3.0 tip should work amazing. My glasurit HS primer on the other hand goes on with a 1.4 tip.. it’s really thin but builds well and flashes super fast between coats. The can is also twice the weight of the polyester which is weird because of how thin it is! I used more than a half a gallon of polyester, half a gallon of filler and half a gallon of HS primer on what I’ve done so far, but I think I’ll use a little less on the other side because I learned some tricks.. Like fitting the extensions before blocking out the sides. I’ve got two gallons of HS primer and I’m hoping I can get the car done with that because I don’t wanna buy a third gallon $$. These Darts are a challenge to get straight because they’re shaped like a garden shed, no curves.
