Some gress on Stanger (Dave knows - PROgress is to move forward and REgress is to go backwards. In the Gov't we have "gress" - just general movement which results in no measurable work output.)
Asa and I filled the holes in the deck lid with epoxy (an experiment as the epoxy won't warp the flat panel). Fox Mustang convertibles came with a sort of luggage rack on the deck lid given the tiny trunk but I've never used it and I don't like the rubber strips though I'll keep the outside ones and the ducktail spoiler w/high brake light which I do like. So we flattened everything out and spot primed the filled areas and yesterday I attempted to seal the area with thinned DP 50 epoxy primer - I've had great luck with that in the past. But my d@^&d mid-priced HF spray gun can leaked and left spots all over the panel. I was NOT happy. The deal is that I was unable to get the lid back on the can properly as either the plastic can was no longer round or the plastic lid was no longer round. I thought I had it adequately together but I was wrong.
Having had enough, I ordered up a 3M Accuspray system from an online source. They're pretty well reviewed and are really well suited for those of us who spray small quantities of whatever it is we're spraying. You never clean the can, you just toss the liners which are sort of heavy-duty baggies. The whole deal seems to be cleverly engineered but I'll get back with a report once it's in hand, probably later next week.
No pics - I was too annoyed to bother. Suffice it to say my deck lid has a series of blotted spots that will need sanded down and if you've ever sanded DP primer you know it's no picnic.
