I am going to attempt to paint my car this fall. I say attempt because if I fail miserably with the primer coats I will seek professional help! Most of the car looks accessible except in the front trunk area under the headlight buckets behind the front cross brace. Looks pretty tight in there. How do you get that area painted? I imagine a small detail gun helps, but is there anything else?
Thanks |

Eastwood internal frame coating. you can get in there with the nozzle but paint this area first because the stuff goes everywhere. then just dust some paint in there with a detail gun to get some color.
I tried to use the nozzle on a prevail sprayer with body color paint, it would have been a great way to get in there but the tip wasn't compatible. Maybe you could figure out a way of using the hose. http://www.eastwood.com/internal-frame-coa...-nozzle-qt.html |
