Hello All:
I'm running into a problem that makes me rethink the way I paint my PFS.
I shoot with a golf glove on my trigger hand. This is to help me have a far more solid grip the plastic PFS grip piece. I grip it firmly, not a death grip. I have tried to shoot without the glove, but it only caused discomfort.
After about 1000 shells there is a dime sized chip out of the paint in roughly the same area.
I am looking for suggestions on how to go about repainting my grip the next time it chips.
I have no desire to shoot a wooden grip or have my PFS hydro-dipped.
I know the glove causes it, so I'm looking to improve the painting process to get more time out of it.
Here is my process:
After using paint thinner to clean the old paint off, I put a coat of primer on and let it dry for an hour.
Second, I spray the first coat of paint/primer on and let that dry in a warm area with the fan on for a day.
Third step is to spray a light second coat of the same paint/primer on and let that dry for four days in the warm area with the fan on.
After done drying, I spray a coat of clear enamel designed for plastics. Dry for one day.
Final step is to put a second coat of clear enamel on. Dry it until I shoot next.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
My initial thoughts may be to extend how long each step has to dry.
Or possibly remove the primer in step one as my spray paint color is paint/primer for plastics.
Thank you in advance.
