Title: Spray gun and Tornado Red Paint
Post by: sketchy63 on 08 February 2013, 21:37

Thinking of trying to spray, but not sure on what spray gun, what type or anything specific that i may need. I can rattle can spray, but ive been told its different. Dads got a 200L Compressor, so dont think i will have any problems with lack of air  :grin:

Also where can i get the paint from?

Thanks

Its not how much air the compressor can hold, but how much it can deliver.

This site has a range of good quality spray guns for any budget. Devilbliss, Sata and Iwata are the most widely known and trusted guns I think, and are known for their quality and reliability.

Spraying is all well and good, but seriously that is the easy(er) part!
No matter how many times its reiterated, PREP PREP PREP is the key to a good finish!

Make sure you read up on the whole process, its mind boggling when you start getting into it! I just ended up paying someone to do it for me in the end!  :grin:





Oh and by the way............................










PREP!!!!!
