I have been working on a project car for eons. About ten years ago while shopping for a moderate air compressor at Sams Club. I stumbled onto a Coleman 80 Gal., 6.5 HP for slightly more. It was mis-priced or a closeout. From that point, I could see DIY paint work. With an attached garage, I was very concerned about the wife having issues with my project. I recently built a 10x15 spray booth in the garage from a HF storage shed. There is an inlet fan with four 20x20 filters. The exit has four 20x20 filters with ten foot flat tubes for air extraction to the outdoors.
The black epoxy primer and 2k were laid down with $30 HF purple gun, 1.4 tip. A Sata 3000 HPLV 1.4 was used for base and Universal clear. All of my spray experience is with the little plastic nozzle on a rattle can. I have to think that learning to get good results with a rattle can is good experience for a real gun. Last year, I stocked up on SPI products for my little project.
So, just this weekend I laid down the Prospray base and UV clear onto the first four panels. I am incredibly pleased with SPI products. If I were not getting so old, I could see many more painting projects. I have another car that I want to repaint, just can't justify now without garage space for it.
