[BITESIZE]

I bought an hvlp gun, so i'm shooting her, not rolling....

[Gemini2003]

HEY WOW! I know what you had to go thru fixing your car man!!... as you know :-) but yeah that nutz I'm happy your car is progressing much better then mine is right now :-)

Hate to see it get sold after all that :-( oh well... are you looking at another accord?

[BITESIZE]

Got my turn signal, now i just need some vht

[mkymonkey]

wow...its face is coming together all over again!

[BITESIZE]

I know, I know, it's just a corner light. But it's like I'm a kid in a candy factory!

What kind of HVLP gun you get? You painting single stage or base/clear coat?

[BITESIZE]

Base and clear. It's a $60 from Harbor frieght. It's a good one to learn.

[RamThis]

When you get ready for a better gun after some practice, get a Sharpe HVLP Gravity Feed, with a 1.2 or 1.4mm fluid tip. Mine is a Snap-On BF700 with a 1.4mm fluid tip, but it's the same thing as the Sharpe guns, I just paid more for the Snap-On and didnt know it at the time. It does primers, basecoats, and clears great.

[BITESIZE]

My friend has a snapon, he spent too much money on. So if mine doesn't work that good, I'll have to borrow his.

I wish I had a garage so I could do that kind of thing. Your project is progressing nicely, it seems.

have you used SATA guns? we used thoes at my autobody class and they are good. also my friends dad works at a autobody shop and he said that his german gun cost like 700 bucks....

[RamThis]

Havent used a SATA but I think they are supposed to be one of the best. You see them alot on the satellite tv shows like Overhaulin and such.

I think mine ran about $550 from Snap On, and could have got it for about $450 from the paint store with Sharpe on it instead of Snap On. Oh well, live and learn lol.

Also, make sure you have a pressure regulator with guage on your gun, and a really good filter and dessicant cartridge inline.

i have a SATA Nr2000 now probally outdated by the new styled NR3000 i bought that gun and a IWATA gun togeather for 300$ plus i got to use the gun while i was paying it off b/c i worked with the guy who i was apprentanced to and also BITE i saw the picture of the car wrecked , i am really suprised a hit liek that didnt damage and shift the front side support/ triangle apron did u measure it bolt to bolt and it was ok?

also if u need advice on anything with paint or u got questions on usin a gun , lemme know ive been doig autobody stuff professionally for 4 years now (not alot of time compared to alot of the old timers, but hey i left the busineuss working on BMW's ,benze's and orther high end cars)

[BITESIZE]

[RamThis]

I see your car got a little pussy action too......

Nice spoiler, not ricey like alot you see. A low, clean spoiler is always nice.

What color do you plan to go back with, or are you keeping it white?

[speedpenguin]
