Dennis I would use some fast urethane reducer. I quit buying acetone for that type primer yrs ago. Have you ever tried it?

No I use laquer thinner for cleaning guns. The only time I use reducer is for reduction purposes. Dennis you should try urethane reducer in the feather fill if you haven't. No real need to buy acetone IMO unless you use it for something else. If you already have reducer it can save money and one less thing to keep on the shelf.

Coming along nicely Dennis, lots of progress!!

How did you paint the engine bay? I've been pondering this for a bit as I'm almost there myself. If I climb in there I'm going to stick my arse into everything, especially given how small it is in the Stang. I can't really reach inside from the outside without leaning on the apron so I don't think that will work either.
