Painted the Golf Cart

Captplaid

Used the DCON paint technique. Yeah I painted the hole thing holding the gun sideways. I guess it needs a real good cleaning. I found some old blue in the bottom of the fluid nozzle that holds the paint back when I paint holding the can upright. Apparently it is still deeper in the gun. So I painted holding the gun sideways.


Never added paint with each coat. Just kept adding more thinner to the gun. 7 coats. No runs. I think it will look OK. Last coat was almost pure thinner. Of course everything else in the garage is now pink with overspray.



Hey, how do you like those saw horses. Made them out of 3" channel iron. Heavy suckers, but they don't move. Dad made a pair 25 years ago, 15 years ago I made another pair. Yeah, some would say they are too heavy but they are rock solid.

When I painted mine I used automotive paint (same color as the Silverado) and painted a clear coat as the last coat.

So, when are you guys going to race? Red is faster, right?

Clear coat?

Do you paint that on while the color is still wet? Or is that applied after the color has dried? Thinner added to a clear coat? Does a clear coat give it more of a shine?

The automotive paint I used was a 2 part LP paint. As it started to set up I sprayed the clear coat. It adds a lot of shine to it.

About a week later I polished out the clear out, and it looks great.

I'm jealous! Any place that I hunt is too hilly or swampy to have such comforts. Quads are too noisy and the tractor is only good for bringing out deer.

Use mine for moving the boat around, go to mail box, shoot sporting clays, & anything else I can think of.

Now that you are done sprayin it soak the aircap and fluid nozzle in thinner for about 48 to 72 hrs, run a toothpick or carefully with a peice of mechanics wire threw the orfices and follow with a blast of air and you will be good to go for the next time

Yes, two of them actually. One for me, and one for you!![:D]

I just bent some 3/8 roundstock, and welded some 3/8 threaded rod to the bottom of the V then welded an allthread connector to a small "C" clamp, and coated the "V's" with Liquid Electrical Tape.
