RE: Automotive paint
Well I bought an HVLP spray gun from Harbor Freight for $15 and it looks like money well spent! Got a buddy at an autobody shop score me a couple of 3M respirators and I set set up a paint booth in my garage (w/ proper ventilation of course) An artist friend came over and brought his compressor. I tac clothed the airplane and he set up the gun and mixed the paint, thinner and hardener. We tested the spary pattern on a box and then sprayed the plane. All I can say is WOW! This was pretty easy and a ton of fun! We shot the dark blue first becaue I am going with the tri-color mid WWII scheme and want to fade the colors together. So far here is what we have! Unfortunately he is unavailable to paint this week soI'm on hold. Enjoy!
