Exp Painters Question.

[1996BlackGSnt]

Ok So i live in NC obviously i'm not going to Tampa to get a Paint job. Anyway my motor is out of the engine bay and im am wanting to paint the entire car with the new bumpers. I got the paint i want which is Cobalt blue Metallic if this helps for my question. I am wanting to do this myself, But i like all the tools but got a location to do it at. What kind of tools do i need and good Brands? (as far as an paint gun). i got the compressor too.

Good paint gun= $400-$600. Maybe you should find someone to do it unless you plan on using tools again. A lot of money for a one time deal. Are you base/clearing or single stage? Cheap gun may work but could mottle and stipe base. How much air do you have?

sata, devilbiss, iwata are all good paint guns but they are pricey

How do you get thru an overall with a 1.3?? A 1.4 Iwata for clear leaves my arm dragging. Wish I could use a 1.6 again like back in the day before High Solids.
