yes, you need a pressure regulator.
I would paint at around 70 degrees if possible.
Trim them to fit first. Then get them powder coated.

Steven: Saw your forum note. I have discovered that the expensive degreasers
and wax removers are little more than dilute acetone and or MEK (methyl ethyl
ketone) both available in WalMarts (paint section). I even had found some
NOS mint position lights for $2.00 but they were clear---investigated glass
actual 'staining' and found that the process was easy--but the glass had to be
CLEANED. Turns out it was acetone with a bit of distilled water ( the bit of
water gives some 'sink' for some of the types of debris, vs pure acetone. Hope
this helps. Geoff

Steve, please use only DX330. There is absolutely no MEK or acetone in it.
This is the best degreaser you can buy. You can even use it on plexiglass.

Gary, can you let us know why DX330? I've had excellent results with
MEK. Doesn't leave any residue. Acetone does, however.

| Subject: | Sata Jet Plastic or Aluminum Cup? |
--> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: "Steven Jackson" <steven.jackson14@adelphia.net>
TG,
For the Sata Jet users out there, I'm looking at the Sata Jet Mini 3 (since
I don't do this for a living and my job is not overly large) and was
wondering about the difference in aluminum or plastic cups. Any comments?
Also, would it be better to use a cheapo for the primer, and the Sata for
the paint, or can the Sata do both?

--> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: "Steven Jackson" <steven.jackson14@adelphia.net>
TG,
Need to clean my exhaust during my project. There's a ton of baked on oil
from the engine on the exhaust shroud and tubing. Plus, there's the usual
types of soot, etc. on it as well. I figure since its steel, I can use just
about anything, but looking for recommendations on the best way to do it.
Thanks,
Steven Jackson

MEK also leaves a residue, MEK also attacks any primers or fillers. DX330
will clean without damaging the type of surface. I also use it to clean the
inside of the fuel tank before resealing it.
AND... it won;t eat the hell out of your liver like MEK does.

I have both cups. I think the plastic is easier to clean. How much
easier? like the difference between 9.5 and 10.
As for the primer. if you are going to sand the surface after application, it
desn't matter too much. If you are going to top coat right after the
primer, use a gun that atomizes the paint well and leaves a nice finish on the
surface. Every flaw will show through. Even flaws you can't see or feel=20in
the
primer will be visible in the top coat.
