It's been too long without any real forward progress. I have been trying to learn about this paint stuff and its doesn't come easy for me. I have been going through threads here and soaking it all in. I sprayed the primer back in august and ended up very thick in spots, so thick I could measure it with a tape measure.
No lie I think there was some of it about a 1/16th of an inch. Most of which I sanded off. I stopped on the way home from work quite often to get more sand paper.
Then I had to touch the primer up. Spray it on and sand it off.
So then I need to start thinking color and I knew I wanted a navy blue. I'm using the Majic brand from tractor supply and they only sell ford blue so i bought a quart of that with a quart of black and a quart of white. to mix a darker blue i took three plastic cups and three syringes from my sister who is an RN. I started with 10ml of ford blue in 2 of the cups and 12 in the 3rd. the first mixture was 10ml blue 4ml blk 1 ml white. the second i mixed 10 ml blue 4ml blk .5ml white. the third I mixed 12 ml blue 4ml blk and .5ml white I liked the third mixture the best, so i converted ml's to ounces and mixed up a quart.
sorry for the blurry pics
