Hi,
I have a project that has a number of small parts (one unit requires about 30 pieces, I will be doing about 10 units or 300 pieces) that need to be painted with a special spray on finish (special = $$) to give a reflective surface.
I did it last time using an under coat paint brushed on, then just the spray but it took up too much of the special spray paint and required too many coats (4) = days of waiting for each coat to dry... way toooooo long.
The strips have 2 finished sides (opposite each other) and 2 required ruff sides. All the sides need to be protected but only the finished sides need to be "special". These are thin strips of wood (pine or cedar) in various from about an inch to about 9" lengths.
The special spray comes in spray cans and will need to be done that way. What I'm looking for is ideas or methods of getting a smooth base/under-coat(s) quickly and with minimal expense. Any ideas are welcome.
