« on: 21 March 2008, 15:50 »
Im spraying my debadged grill and thought i would go for it and be brave enough to use the spray gun!  I have used them in the past but never a good one!  I got my self a nice one to use with my new compressor and WOW!! What a finnish!  Beats any rattle can!

I shall post a pic when its finnised drying!  :grin:

Yes your right - if you have the space and time, a proper spray gun setup is the way to go!

I think you would need a decent size compressor to do large panels etc.. I use a 50L which is relativly small for spraying but be enough to do a panel at a time!   could get away with a 25L but below that and you might end up with splatters.  Im going to keep practicing!  who knows, might have a diffrent colour golf soon  :laugh: haha
