2. Hey I might start at a boat finishing job. What are the ratios in the paint for the different coats for a boat hull?
3. I'm spraying edges too so I want paint to be light and spray to cover smaller area. How do I adjust the spray gun for this?
4. I want to spray my kitchen cabinets with BM satin impervo oil based paint and was wondering if it is possible to get a decent finish with a detail spray gun. I only have a 2 hp compressor and can not afford a HLVP system. Have you ever clear coated oil based paint with an oil based varnish to give it more durability?
5. I just cannot believe that I have learned so much of what I'm doing wrong in so short a time.
   Painted the same thing 4 times over and still not good enought for me.
   Going to try your techniques tonight.
   Thanks a mil.
   Liked your music.... My style.
6. How can I figure out how to watch this series in order
7. you drive a miata?
8. Thank you! Your spraying vids are helping me respray some shutters.
9. If my memory serves me correctly, I used Sherwin Williams black gloss and
   their clear on this project.  With that said, I just finished building a
   bed and wanted it to match the other cabinets from this video.  I primed
   with SW wall and woodwork primer and sanded to 220 with and orbital
   sander.  Two coats of Krylon black gloss were applied.  I then sprayed
   several coats of Minwax Polycrylic gloss clear and it got what I would call
   a micro craze.  After allowing this mess to dry for several days, I sanded
   it down again and re-sprayed the craze/fine lifting came back in several
   spots.  I'm attempting to salvage by sanding and polishing.  What did I
   learn?  Stick with Sherwin Williams paints.  Another contributing factor
   may have been temperature.  It's been very cold and I use propane to heat
   my garage just during the day when I am going to work out there.  Anyhow,
   the cabinets from this video came out great and I've had many good
   comments. My best advise is for you to do a small test panel before
   spraying your project
10. Hi Ron, what type of clear do you use on those drawers to get a piano finish?
11. Thank you fore showing how its done and understandable instructions old man Ron !!!
12. Good video man
13. 5. I use about 30-40 lbs at the gun with the trigger pulled. 6. I clean the fluid tip between coats. 7. I'll often add some XIM Latex Extender to help with the flow.
14. A guy e-mailed me with an issue of the gun spattering. The following was my answer and if any of you can ad to it please let me know. 1. Did you remove the small strainer in the bottom of the cup? It restricts flow and clogs very quickly. If you strain the paint, it isn't needed. 2. Is the fluid knob turned all the way out? 3. Is the fluid tip tight so that it won't suck air in around the edges. 4. When you installed the 2mm tip, did you also install the matching needle. 
15. Cool
16. In my really stupid younger days I would spray lacquer with no respirator and a cigarette hanging out of my mouth. After about 10 years of spraying cars, I started getting sick every time I walked into our make-shift booth and quit. By the way, I did wise up and buy a proper respirator for my DIY spraying which only occurs several times a year.
17. Thanks much for your positive comment. 
18. Very good info, thank you much for being such a professional.
19. hey im going to paint a MDF board and im wondering what type of primer and paint should i use?i've heard that many people use an acrylic base painting. i also wanted to know how should i setup my air compressor? pressure?etc!!
20. That all depends on what you want to spray and how often. I only spray things maybe five or six times a year. So all I need is a decent compressor and an HVLP gun.
