Default Finally paint ready

Blocked to #400. Plan is SPI EPOXY as a Sealer, PPG Base, SPI Universal clear. Now to put 2 nice weather days back to back. Question, for the SPI Epoxy sealer. I was thinking of using my 1.4 Vaper gun instead of my Tekna Pro lite which I was reserving for base and clear. Bad more or not. Maybe buy the Finishline then for the sealer? Thanks

My concern on this is that probably my high end gun will lay on a better (smoother) coat than the Vaper gun even though both have 1 .4 tips. My question is do I want to shoot epoxy sealer in a gun I had intended to reserve for base /clear? I guess that becomes my decision .I think mw window of opportunity to paint ends Sunday. I started masking late yesterday. SPI Clear will arrive tomorrow. Haven't bought paint yet.
