    Not bad for 250. I would get the 1.2 also

    That is a good deal. But i do get a decent shop discount through
    my local guy; around 20% off. But Len is cool.

    I will take one and pay plus shipping if you get it. If it is 20% less then what Len has it for. Seriously. PM if it interests you.

    Thanks guys for all your help!!!

    After painting and sanding down this grill at least 10 times, I finally nailed it.

    First off I learned how to use the paint mixing cups with the ratios. Yea I know, a little late, but I thought I was mixing accurate with the cooking mixing cups, but really I realized I was probably off a little here and there. At any rate I pumped up the PSI to 25, I opened the fan wide open and I used my 1st coat as a tack coat.

    After three coats, I got fantastic results, at last! It is so cool to see how well the clear takes after that 1st light-medium coat.

    Pics!

    Wow – that looks very slick. I hope my experience with my new LPH-400 is as good as your’s. So what was your set-up exactly?

    Well the nail is almost down, but not totally in yet; I got some little crators, with a white fot at the center.

    Not sure if it is from the higher PSI, had this problem before with the pressure boosted up.

    Scuff it, dab some clear in it, let it dry, and and buff it.
