Looking good Ed.
To chime in on the yellow paint problem, I would shoot flat white primer, then flat yellow and finally a clear gloss. Build up your color slowly. Yellow is already hard to spray and then add to that gloss paint has its own challenges. When faced with a problem like this, simplify. It's the same for shooting white. I will have to try the light pink primer. Sounds interesting.

Thanks Kenny! :drinks I'll keep that in mind. Seems the hardest paints for me to spray is, White, Yellow & Red
Slow and thin, I'm dealing with that on the Bulldog, think Red is harder, it seems to be harder to clean up.

Looking good. Love the yellow birds. 
One thing I have found that may help. For white , yellow, red, I now spray on a flat white, or yellow or red as a base coat. The flat just seems to spray better and covers better without the problems of gloss as you got on the cowl. Then I go over with a lite misting of the gloss colour. If you like the shade of the flat colour just go over with gloss coat. To make a really vibrant red or yellow use flat white as the case. I found that I never seem to have issues when I do that.
Hope that helps Ed.

Thank you James. I'll make note of that.
I rattle canned the cowl the other day with white primer but, haven't had the chance to paint yet. Planned on doing so yesterday but, 2 things were against me...1) Mother nature decided to throw buckets of rain down upon us here in Sunny Calif!! and 2)My mother had to go pay some bills & such & we didn't get back until like 5pm :frantic Today doesn't look good either so, will play it by ear...
Thanks :drinks
