Ok ive had a look through a few searches and not really found everything i need. Ive had a quote of bodywork repairs and the guy said to me if you like tinkering with cars why dont you do it yourself and i thought what a great idea it would add more to my talents so what im looking at is trying to get all the equipment at the best prices but also the required quality for a good job.

 

I dont have a compressor yet so i thought thats a good place to start then paint guns one for laquer and one for the paint as recommended to me tonight.

 

I know there is a few people that do paint spraying on here so your help would be appreciated. Not looking at spraying whole cars maybe up to the size of a bumper say.

 

Cheers folks

In the painting and decorating trade it is pretty much all leading towards water based paints. The professional (auto)painter I know said this is the case for the motor trade too. Is this correct?

That is indeed correct, its all part of various EU Directives aimed at cleaning up what goes down the drain..

intresting thread guys:cool3:...and by the looks our street tearaway Ken seems to be a very good painter and knows his stuff, so fair doo's we'll let him stick around me thinks:tt2:

 

 

thanks znut ha ha . there just examples of smaller jobs iv done from home , starting on my z next eel and have got some nice ideas for it so you can all judge me then ha ha

 

 

re the blow ins , if there are no hard lines it's difficult the loose the clear cost line in the middle of panels , ud be better painting the whole panel ! blue ime are more for bumpers outr if trying to avoid painting onto a big panel , eg. an apost that joins the roof would be alot of effort to paint a roof because of a duno on an a post

whats the views on this?
