That gun should work just fine for what you're doing. Make sure your fluid adjustment (knob coming out the back) is about half way out. That'll be a good place to start. Do a couple of test sprays to make sure you have enough material coming out to lay down a nice wet coat. Some people don't have enough paint coming out and can't figure out why the paint sprays on so dry and thin..that's the reason. Open the fan adjustment (knob on the left side) all the way open. Follow the mixing ratios to a T and go for it. The etching primer you have in the spray can is what you want to spray on the bare metal first, but it's not for any build purposes at all. It just allows you to follow it up with a high-build primer for filling sand scratches. I wouldn't use any more than a couple of thin coats of the etching primer. I also wouldn't recommend using it on the ABS parts. Krylon makes a decent high-build in a spray can, or you can buy a more pro-type spray can at your auto paint store. It's about 15-20 bux a can there but it's actually a really good product. It's cheaper then buying a whole quart and hardener otherwise. Spray all the parts with the high-build, at least 4-5 coats, let it dry for 24 hrs. then sand everything with 400 before applying the base coats..followed by the clear coats.

I bought a gun from HF, figuring this was going to a one shot deal. I didn't want to invest in an expensive gun.

Be sure to take it apart and clean the heck out of it first!
