    The longer you plan on painting, the longer you will need for that run.

    Most paint guns don't hold more than a qt. Spraying that much constantly is actually a long session. Do you think you will be spraying that much paint?

    A 10' section, in a lower humidity environment would be plenty.

    Move up to HVLP gun and you could shorten the distance more.

    But seriously, more is not better. You don't need an elaborate system to paint car horns or car panels. You will need a lot of practice before needing a dryer will make you better at painting.

    We all love our tools, but some a really not worth the hassle.

    I don't use a dryer and I never have a problem with moisture as long as I drain the bottom of my tank 1st.

    I cheated and got rid of the auto drain and just installed an elbow with a quick connect. I have a dedicated hose attached there. I use it to blow the dust out if the shop. I clean the floors and get rid of water at the same time.

    Boats are dangerous subject for me. I've jumped a 16' shallow v boat 4' over another boats wake with my dad one time. We had a boat that was rated for an 85hp motor that we had fitted with a 150hp 2stroke v6. Thing could do 65mph on the water with no effort. I tend to stay away from boats after the couple of close calls we had haha, that and I don't do any water sports haha

    no blame there - things are MUCH faster on water. Easy to screw up. There will always be the daredevils though.

    Yup very easy, don't even have to call & you can print the return label online & just drop the package off to USPS or UPS.

    Some people don't do Amazon, ebay, or Paypal, but I love em all.

    I just replaced my antenna bezel yesterday, ordered the part from Amazon Prime. Package was 3 days late, called Amazon & they confirmed package was lost, so they sent out another one & gave me a $10 credit for customer satisfaction. Well a day before the replacement was supposed to arrive, the lost one showed up. So in the end, I got 2 of the bezels, a $10 credit, & to top it off I never even paid for the part to begin with as I used reward points to purchase it.

    I also ordered a pair of Depo headlights. They sent me the cheaper Vision brand. I explained that the Vision brand is sold for a much lower price. They looked into it & confirmed the mistake, refunded my money & told me to just keep the headlights.

    If it weren't for ebay, no way I could afford all the machining tooling I have as well as other tools & car parts. Machining is an expensive hobby!

    Paypal now offers refund for return shipping (if you are eligible). So if I buy something on ebay & return it for whatever reason & I have to pay for return shipping, I can request return shipping refund & Paypal will credit that shipping cost. Something like only 7 times a year but that's more than enough for me. I've used it twice this year.
