I had no problems spraying it yesterday, went on super smooth with no orange peel, have a few small runs but other than that it had great coverage, and lasted a while in the gun.

Thanks Mike, this weekend im going to wetsand everything I painted and lay down another coat or two because it is thin in some spots, and I want to get rid of some drips. I also went out and bought a detail paint gun (basically a mini spray gun) to get into some of the harder to reach areas, like around the headlight buckets, in the engine bay, etc. My plan is to have even the hard to see places covered in a coat of phoenix red paint.

How about some details about that mini gun? Pic? For that matter, what gun are you using to this point? I'm actually considering buying a gun and dabbling with some sprayin'. I have some furniture cabinets to do first, but I'd like to get into some automotive primer at least.

My main gun is a craftsman HVLP gravity feed gun that I got from Sears, it was around $130 a few months ago. It is an awesome gun, and has given me consistent results, it isn't a $400 devilbliss gun but for my purposes its fine. The gun that I bought today is from Harbor Freight, neat little mini gravity feed gun, will be the perfect thing to paint all those hard to reach nooks and crannies.

I am in the same boat. I wanted something that would work for both woodworking and auto paints. The guy at the paint shop sold me on a 2 gun Divilbliss kit for around $160. One gun for top coats, and the other is for primer. He was pretty up front that they are not the greatest, but not bad for the money, and most importantly, you can get parts for them. Have not used them yet, but hoping to do some wainscoting over the week of Christmas.

My worry is on the air supply side. I have a 6hp/26gal compressor, and I am not sure it is up to it. Wondering if I can somehow run it in conjunction with my portable, maybe by using a T. I can put the regulator on the gun.

Jonathan, what are your compressor specs?

You're 6hp will work just fine. A 3hp with a 5 gallon tank will even work as long as you don't try to paint the whole car without letting up. Al. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif)

Yep, I have no problems with my compressor, it keeps up and lasts a while before it has actually has to kick in, and I never feel a drop in pressure.

back at ya'.

You'll love L32k; one of those colours that changes moods with the light from a nice warm red to an all out orange. Good luck on the rest of your shoot.

Got some work done on the teener early in the day before the Christmas festivities. I degreased the lower firewall and undercoated it along with the suspension ears and engine mounting points. Made sure to get extra coverage under both "hell-hole" areas. I used 3M Pro undercoating, sold at autozone. The brake proportioning valve, came out to be replaced with a brake tee sold by Jwest. I also unmasked the engine bay wiring, since im done painting in there, and started laying it out. Some pics...

Merry Christmas everyone! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif)

Jonathan -
Before you spray the the body, do yourself a big favor and put the car on jack stands, take your Fuchs off the car and put them inside your house. Cleaning the over spray is a bitch, compared to just taking the wheels off...
Just my .02...

By the way, the car looks great -
