<DIV><FONT size=2>Just finished a GP SR-9 using Nelson's paint for the first
time (a big risk I first thought). Was going to spray it but was intrigued
by his other suggested method of applying - a foam brush. So, I put
away the compressor and gun decided to try the foam brush
technique. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Following his (written) instructions I found the foam
brush technique very satisfactory and with minimal brush marks. Each
coat can be applied after the preceeding coat has dried about 15 min.
(the thinned paint drys quickly). I applied seven coats of my base
color and it came out great. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Trim colors (over the base) should be applied within
about 4 hours.of the last base coat; applying trim paint after this
time requires you very lightly sand the color over which you are
painting. Brush marks are minimal; they seem dependent
on the paint/water mix but are minimal once you determine
this. Nelson's primer is an epoxy type paint which is easy to use, drys
well and is easy to sand (simiar to the old K&B). I liked it. Clean
up of both paints is easy - water. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I did not encounter any major problem when masking
(i.e. paint lifting, etc). If correctly done it should not occur.
Only once did I notice a slight lift on one part I masked and painted
(I forgot to lightly sand the under color paint as
mentioned in the instructions
;-)) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Bottom line: I liked the paint...and so does my wife
(i.e.no smell)! User friendly. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Suggestion: Contact Nelson directly and request a
copy of his written instructions before buying any paint.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Hope this helps...</FONT></DIV>
