straight in the gun and spray it, clean the gun out well after though, its as bad as 2k laquer for staying by the needle

will warn you though its poo stuff 2k is worth the extra and give alot better shine, although if in a residential area then its got to be celly

good luck

Cheers mate, I used 2k primer to spray my fibreglass front and that was some lethal stuff. So I might go celly to be safe, but ta for the info Wayne it will help me get my roof sorted now.

If you do decide to go 2K use about 15% thinners - and don't use fast thinners whilst its still fairly warm - I did the other night and it looks OK but could be better.

I will spray celly to be safe I think mate, I did my front end with 2k primer and it blew me head off even with a good mask and open space.

quick tip i have been told twice by lads in the trade now

drink a pint of milk before you do ANY spraying and it puts a lining on your gut

use a 3m filter mask and no less, them cheap respirator throw aways are completely useless

and dont spray 2k in your backyard or driveway etc, especailly when spraying basecoats as the spray mist travels everywhere and the neighbours wont be liking a metalic effect car due to overspray
