From: "Jesse4" My 2 cents. I've got a lot of experience over past year with poly system. Go to harbor freight get 20$ hvlp paint gun. Air supply should be 40#. you will have to adjust spay pattern nozzle and volum till u get a smooth slick even coat. Once that is set hold your tip no more than 12 inches away and rib to rib sweeping motion don't contiously hold down trigger. Each stroke gets seperate trigger pull. 1st cross coat should be brushed. Then next 2 cross coats spray it. Follow mixing instructions and spray in the cool of the morning. If you have any more questions feel free to email me. I hope to have video uploaded to you tube within next month. I do have a channel that just shows me playing with the Kolb Twinstar I have rebuilt in entirety twice. Just look up jesse waller Kolb twinstar. Good luck and be generous with the polybrush. It is the foundation in which you put everything else on.

From: "Jesse4" Oh and definitely put at the very least a filter and preferably a dryer in line or other wise you will have fish eyes popping up. Which looks ugly and requires mek with very touchy rag to smooth. Then re spray. Don't forget when your brushing on 1st coat brush small area then come back smooth bubbles out with brush then let alone.

I found that I could get a fair coverage with 27 lbs on the regular paint gun...That was my early problem... too much air..several folks caught that error right away... I have a dryer on my air supply... by the way...anyone know of a non messy to apply the 3m , black weather stripping into the channel on the rubber windscreen trim? Last time, I just did the best to separate the gap in the trim...a bit too messy....Herb On 08/09/2015 03:37 PM, Jesse4 wrote: > > Oh and definitely put at the very least a filter and preferably a dryer in line or other wise you will have fish eyes popping up.

From: B Young I never used any black.. But these ideas may help, where the wind screen joins the nose cone, I got it to fit correctly, then put tape on both. Disassembled put in some clear silicone, used a wet finger and wiped off the excess. When the silicone dried, I removed the tape. It made a tight fitting air and water tight joint.
