While not close to painting my car yet, I have purchased the paint. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I know the best thing to do is take it to a professional, but I simply can't afford it. It will be a garage paint job. I will be shooting single stage acrylic enamel. My painting experience consists of using canned spray paint on a 1970 Volkswagon Karmann Ghia in a rented garage in the middle of summer 22 years ago. A few months back, I picked up a standard Kobalt paint kit from Lowes. But I was wondering if I would be better off with an HVLP setup. What is the best paint gun setup for a complete amateur on a budget? Thanks, Bob |
