Want to shoot PPG Duracryl 9317 over a SPI 2k urethane primed Camaro heater box (interior underdash box). This is the black lacquer with a suede finish added for texture, so final gloss isn't important. I know, lacquer is ancient technology but I have the paint and am trying to do it original. Under the dash shouldn't be a problem for fade or durability.
Anyway, never shot this before but any tips on surface prep, thinning, gun setup (tip size) etc? I've read that there may be atomization issues using an HVLP gun with old school lacquers. Seems like the lacquer atomizes too well and goes on dry. Using a slow thinner seems to help they say. Some say to only use a Binks 7G or similar siphon gun. I would rather use an HVLP is possible.
Again, I am not looking for gloss, just even coverage. Should i shoot a sealer coat first of the 2K primer? I will probably be shooting in 75-90 degree temps.
Please help a novice out. Don't want to have to do it twice if I don't have to.
thanks in advance for the help
