Painting (Day 2)

Summary: It went better than yesterday. Had a few hiccups but over all it was fine. 3 coats on and then we will flip them over and do 3 coats tomorrow. Lots of work, but overall very satisfying.

2 pointers for others wanting to paint with a HVLP sprayer. First, keep an eye on the air hose, easily gets tangled and can be in the way.

Secondly, and I don't know if this is unique to my sprayer, but I will mention it. First application the paint started to slow down. After loosing the lid and letting air in, the paint flow improved. I realized that keeping the lid loose on the HVLP sprayer kept the paint flowing.

Overall, a good day. One more day to go!
