In Response To: Painting the formica bulkheads (Paul Haggett)

Pictures I have no Idea. Painting the brown bulkheads can be done. Proper prep is the key. I used the old awlgrip make sure you use a light primer so that any nicks down the road are not so noticeable. Just sand it with D.A. 60 grit wipe it clean with lacquer. Tack cloth it. shoot it up
You have to follow the directions to the letter no matter what paint you use. The old awlgrip was very sensitive to humidity and temperature.Vertical surfaces require a tack coat and let it set up then finish shoot
