Daniel, I have sprayed gallons of high build 2K primer with a 1.5 tip and not too many issues.  Perhaps you need a slower acting reducer.Also you can try a 4:1:1.5 mix.  (1.5 reducer.Good luck

I think I need a larger tip. The primer/surface sprayed well out of the gun, but when I cleaned IMMEDIATELY after shooting, the paint had already formed a thin film on the interior of the cup and the main cavity that leads to the fluid tip was all gunked up with hardened primer. I "think" that my 1.4 is not letting enough material through (or only thinner material) and the thicker material is just sitting back inside the gun itself. What a mess to clean up!!! I don't know, maybe I used too much hardener? but I thought I had the 4:1:1 ratio right in the cup.

Dennis! You are a whole lot more ahead of me - it's more like I need to keep up with you. I still have to get that frame done and pretty much my entire front end needs a complete rebuild. I am going to add those aerostar springs too and drop it about 2 or 3 inches all the way around. Say, what gun/gun tip size are you using to spray that epoxy primer? I am using a 1.4 for the DTM primer surfacer I am using and I think it is a tick too small. I use a 1.0 gun to do those small parts in Rustoleum Semi-gloss but I do like how they turn out.What color are you planning on going with?

Dennis, I see your cab has the original stamped metal rear cab mounts.  I have a pair of new Heavy duty cast mounts that i don't need.  They are yours if you want them.  Ican mail them to you sometime in the next two weeks or so. Send me a PM if you want them.

I got the frame painted and put it back on the trailer. Moved the camper out and put the cab in. Maybe I can get some work done on the cab for a couple of weeks.
