If it is a nice jeep you want to keep pour the Aervoe out on some dusty
gravel, that's about all it's good for then get Gillespie.

Subject: [MV] Aervoe paint questions
I recently painted my Deuce with Gillespie '383' cut down with
xylene, using an HVLP gun. I'm very happy with the way it came out. The
paint layers went on easy, dried to the touch in 15-20 minutes and
seemed "done" (hard) sometime the next day after painting. I put on two
layers in about an hour, then waited about 24 hours before putting on
some more. I was painting outdoors on some nice spring days.
I'm want to paint my dad's MB to be ready for Memorial day. We're
painting indoors now, and it's going to be raining for days. He bought
Arevoe paint and their medium thinner. According to the label re-coats
must be done within 2 hours or else we have to wait 72 hours! (Gillespie
was 16). Since we haven't even started the masking and other prep, it
sounds like I'm going to paint all the layers in one day.
Does anyone have experience with both paint brands? Can I expect
similar results to what I got from the Gillespie paint? Any "tricks" to
Aervoe that it would help me to know?
Thanks,
Jim
