Priming

The priming solution I settled on was the P60-G2.  It is a two-part wash primer, and it is extremely durable.  I am told it is the same stuff used by Van's on the QBs.  One note...you will want to mix it 2:1 for best results.  Spray gun is a Harbor Freight Special.  It is the "Commercial" version of the HVLP, and it seems to be pretty sturdy.  It can be easily cleaned by spraying out a few tablespoons of lacquer thinner when finished painting.
