I need some suggestions and help. Many years ago, I painted my fibreglas fuselages and glass covered wings and stabs with Martin Senour Acrylic Enamel. I remember adding a plasticizer, reducers and something to prevent eyes on the finish. I could be a little off in my description here. I know we primered, wet sand, use body putty for the pin holes, do the finish primer, finish sanding, tack it, go to the booth and shoot. Base coat white, dry 24 hours or more, tape for trim, shoot colors as each would dry, tape for final finish colors, etc.

Wet sand, finish that, then shoot clearcoat. I was always using someone else's setup, so when he would paint, I would bring my ready to finish planes there, use his equipment.
Now I need to get equipment together to do this. I am not interested in a major setup, 75 gallon compressor's, etc., just the right set up for painting with automotive paint, or whatever is popular today, to get a good finish, with minimum equipment and time. I realize the environmental concerns, and painting in humid conditions, etc.
I am back to the fiber glas and wing skins again. I use super lite glas cloth and finishing resin on the wings and stabs.

Compressor, paint gun, paint mixtures, etc., is what I need advice on. Also, if someone could recommend a complete setup, I could take it from there.

Thanks,
