I did rush it in the end and as a result there are a few flaws but I'm not going to mention them, they might never be noticed. I just know they are there. It a serious improvement over what I started with so I'm happy

This is far and away the biggest downside to doing a resto of anything!

What sort of spray gun do you use John?

I am a true amateur but have been congratulated on my spray jobs, Preparation time is essential. Good primer coats (At least two) and rub down. Dilute paint 5-10% maximum and heat if need be.Use the best quality gun you can afford, use water traps in your air supply. Spray the edges first and use a good steady swing, keeping the distance from the work uniform. Over swing the edges . Use good light so that you can see and avoid dry spots and overspray. . Rub down between coats when almost hard with very fine WOD or tacking cloth but don`t leave more than 24 hours between coats.
Runs are usually caused by over thinning, stopping the gun during the swing and inconsistent distance. If you get one don`t try to spray your way out of it. let it dry and patiently rub down. A few dry areas are far easier to deal with than runs.
I have never used two pack but always use Fast Flash thinners. Good quality polyurethane paint I find best .
I hope this helps.
