More Trouble Today

By

Mary Lee was spend­ing the day with her Mom, so I had some free time and went over to the shop to paint some of the engine parts before we began to assem­ble it. I went through the trou­ble of order­ing some Bill Hirsch high tem­per­a­ture primer through Cooper’s Auto Parts and so the saga begins again, both of the cans are bad. I did every­thing I could to get them to spray, all to no avail. I cleaned the valves, warmed the cans, but they would spray for less than a sec­ond and then plug up repeat­edly. Oh well, it is not worth send­ing them back, so in the trash they go, this stuff sure was not up to the stan­dards of any Bill Hirsch paints I’ve used in the past. I finally had to go out and get some new primer at a local out­let and was able to prime and fin­ish paint the oil pan, tim­ing cover, valve cov­ers and dip­stick tube
