First post on this very unique & informative forum.
A bit of background is in order.
I have not sprayed anything in over 15 years. Technology has marched ahead while I have not. I am trying to get back up to speed before I make anymore purchases. Hopefully with your help I can keep my "oops" to a minimum.
I will be spraying a 76 Trans Am in white. Total restoration. Right now I am in the metalworking stage (full qtrs. & tail pan). Car is totally apart (well real close!) I am trying to collect pieces parts for the painting stage of the resto.
I will be posting a thread in the restoration section (this weekend) of my homemade spray booth as well as my home made compressor air cooler as well as pics of the restoration as it sits today.
For any interested parties I have a thread going here...

I did mention SPI...
I have purchased from SPI the following:
1 gal Epoxy Black & Activator
1 gal 2K High Build Primer grey & Activator
1 gal W&G Remover
I have 2 guns. (dont laugh) A Sharpe 975 & a Astro AS-7 siphon feed. Can I use either of the 2 for the application of the Epoxy? While I am at it I cannot for the life of me find my tip size. The Sharpe Has a gold ring around the tip.
Will either of these 2 guns apply the 2K primer?
Final Q for now is 2 fold. What gun is recommended for the application of color & clear? I know its a personal preference, but as of now I do not have a clue. I just do not want to spend 400 bux for a gun if one for 300 (200 sounds better!) will do. Even a used on from fleabay. This is one subject I am totally clueless.
If the above guns will not spray the primer, can anybody point me in the right direction?
I will have SEVERAL questions regarding the painting process as I progress with my resto. I hope you peeps do not get tired of my seemingly endless noob questions!
BTW: I have not unpacked my SPI products I bought on 8/30/11. I just noticed on the packing slip that a little birdie included a quart of Universal Clear & activator. You cats are top shelf!
