It was red/white when we first saw it at the North Rim. Are you uncovering a repaint?
Nice work.

2K primered floorboard and inner firewall (last weekend). Did a little light prep work today in preparation for a second coat of 2K. Want to use the pressure pot this time for getting at the upper firewall under the dash. Gravity cup makes spraying this area pretty awkward.
Coming together!!

Broke the pressure pot back out to spray a coat of 2K plus the ceramic paint insulating additive. Both of these are @jmack ideas, so giving credit where it’s due - thanks Jim!
A couple notes on this particular pot - I think the regulator leaves more to be desired and it would be interesting to compare it to say, a Binks or Sharpe pot/regulator. I cranked the regulator down to zero and slowly came up to get a flow rate I could work with. Well nothing happens until the pot hits about 15 psi and then it’s flowing a little too much, so couldn’t really get a happy medium. It still worked good and did the job I wanted to do, just had to move faster and pull the gun away from the surface quite a ways.
I’m treating this coat like spray filler, so unlikely I’ll be able to spay paint today. Lots of stuff getting ready to happen, and fall is swinging in, so not sure when I’ll have another chance for paint work.

Looking really good!!
Can’t wait to see it come together.
Dang dude, really coming along.
Make any paint heat insulating? I like the sound of that and had no idea it was a thing.
Meanwhile I just sit in the forest waiting for turkey to walk in front of me, but at least I can keep up with your progress while I wait.
