Hey guys. I plan on spraying my spi black epoxy in my engine bay of my 67 fastback this weekend. I just need someone to approve my check list.
: Engine bay has been sprayed in transtar epoxy primer last year and has been scuffed with 180 and red scuffpads.
: engine bay has been washed down and cleaned with w&g remover. ( I used prep all from clean strip)
: weather forecast shows 63-65 degrees all weekend with rain. The temp outside today is 63 and the same in my garage with no heat on. I have not tested metal temp yet but will tomorrow.
: I have a 60,000 but bullet heater to preheat the garage for a while tomorrow also 2 electric radiator heaters as well.
: I have never sprayed spi before and plan to spray unreduced with roughly 20psi with minor tinkering at the regulator and a 1.4 tip.
: I completely blew out my garage and planned on wetting the floor prior to spraying. Before I spray I will tack rag and use gun psi for final cleaning. As far as heat stability. I'm off all weekend so if I have to stay in this garage for 24hrs to maintain heat I will my car deserves it lol. Someone please look this over and let me know how this sounds. Also I see people recommend spraying one medium to slightly wet coat as the first coat. Is this correct or should I stick to the 2 or 3 wet coats being my car already has a primer base down on it. The thermometer shows 60degrees and 70% humidity Thank you everyone
