The Lair

I wish I could be more help I will do a little digging also and see.

 

This one may be ok. I'm not familiar with the brand but the 1.4 tip will be good for single stage or base clear kinda an all around tip. Adjustments and air pressure will make a big difference also

See this is why I asked you. I haven’t a clue about tips or stuff, so thank you. I appreciate it.

 

Dint jump on it yet let me look some more

 

Done

 

Thank you sir!

 

I got a 2 pack of the central pneumatic paint guns from harbor freight. They were the nicer ones for around 90$ a set and have worked out great. I dont see that set on their website anymore.

 

Some not so good pictures of my paint projects. Using omni paint they sprayed great. Of course there was trash in the paint from spraying in a garage. Still much better then spray paint. I use the detail gun instead of spray pain cans. 1000x better.

 

I’m looking at HF website now and there is quite the range of guns available ranging from $15 to $215. Oh my.

 

That’s why I want to get into the spray gun. It’ll be loads better than spray paint.

 

For harbor freight you just have to make 1 step outside of their base model guns and from what i read their fine.

 

What kind of paint do you use in a spray gun, for say a rear bumper? Can I use any paint in a can if it’s thinned appropriately?

 

Go to a paint store and buy real automotive paint. Omni paint can be bought for around 15$ a quart and a gallon of thinner is around 30$. Thats like 10 spray paint cans worth of paint and enough thinner for like 8 quarts of paint.

 

I keep gloss black, satin black, a metallic blue and a gun metal color "in stock" cause that covers most projects.

 

Ok that’s good to know. I paint damn near everything satin black so I’ll start with that.

 

Buy a gallon of thinner. Once you use real automotive enamel you'll be hooked. Its so much more unlikely to run then spray paint is its unreal, so its super simple to put on a thick glossy coat.

 

I'msorry but for simple ease of touching up I would still consider DIY bedliner for the bumper with a couple of coats of satin black over top for UV protection. Just my 2 cents

 

Once my respirator arrives I can dexter my garage and turn it into a paint booth. I’m thinking my 10x10 camping canopy with plastic hanging off of to contain over spray

 

Painting or meth lab?????

 

Oh also randy. For things you plan on lasting forever without maintenance, consider a 2 part epoxy primer instead of self etching primer.
