So installment 2 of my painting experiments tonight. I like the new colour I got him to make... a blueish grey. He got it quite flat this time too. Got the gun figured out a little better, and getting a decent enough finish for my interior (still not smooth, but since I'm using a flattened paint, the fine "pebbly" or bumby texture actually looks nice for the interior).
The guy at the paint shop sold me a big metal pail of "gun wash" (his term for it) for clean-up. The can says "thinner"... and it has 3 warning symbols - flammable, toxic and the one that looks sort of like an explanation mark with a bar across the top, meaning "materials causing other toxic effets".
This stuff seemed to actually eat through my rubber gloves. Certainly disintegrated my thin latex ones i was wearing at first. When it got on my hands they felt a warm burning sensation. This stuff does not seem to be the same as the hardware-store paint-thinner I'm used to. Is it actually corrosive? Is it going to eat away at my drain pipes??
