| I think the prep is the hardest part. There are some forums out there that are helpful. My
biggest problem is air supply. Not the band. I have a 30
gallon single stage compressor, and already know it's not
going to be enough. Add to that, the lack of an air line
dryer (conditioner), I think I'd be in trouble. I bought two guns with 5 tips total, screens, filters, manual
long boards, a pnuematic long board, and pretty much
everything I could think of for prep and paint... except
proper air supply. There have been some pretty good articles in hot rod
magazine and car craft magazine about doing ALL the prep
your self (labor), and then taking it to the local $100.oo
paint job place to get shot for $500 or so (proper paint and
clear coats). But even at that, you wont have the
opportunity to properly block the car between coats or be
able to shoot a high build primer for blocking the car.
Lots of ifs and ands involved in the equation.
I say, if you have the compressor go for it. The rest is
releatively in expensive in comparison.
