[presure2]

hey all, as most of ya know, i have been working at the local maaco, and have been painting there for the past year or so, well, that has come to an end, but that dont mean i've stopped painting!

it was fun while it lasted, and i got what i wanted out of the job:
i LEARNED.
last night, i preped up and painted jims gt-4 hood and parts for his car, and painted them in my garage.
here are a couple pics i snapped this morning after they were dry.







these last 2 are reflection shots. this is before wetsanding and buffing, since the parts were just painted last night. ill post more when they are done and on the car.





later today i will paint the gt-4 bumper and the forgmann lip.

more pics to come!

Can you post the specs of your sprayer, gun, compressor? Nice work.

Can you post the specs of your sprayer, gun, compressor? Nice work.

sure,
my gun is a devilbiss GTI HVLP gun, with a 1.3mm fluid tip.
the compressor is not really up to the job, its a 26 gallon craftsman, its big enough, but the motor just dont have the ummph to keep up, so with it i spray right at the edge of not enough air pressure, and stick to doing smaller parts (the hood is the largest part i've sprayed in the garage.)
i need a few more upgrades that will come over time, but for where im at right now, im pretty happy with how it looks, the dupont chromabase i used matches very well with the paint that is on the car, which is a beautiful thing, and the 2 little kerosene heaters i use get the garage just barely warm enough (~55-60*F)so that the clear flows out and dries well.
i will post a few pics of that later, im going out to the garage in a few to finish prep and paint the bumper and lip, ill post some pics of that as well when im done with those.


thanks for the compliments all, ill be sure to post some finished up pics once its all back together and wetsanded and buffed!
