    Re: new pics 56kno

    yeah i noticed the paint too.. it's not bad but it seems a little flat. did it get waxed at the carwash? like even sealer waxed? waxing it may add depth to it a bit but it still looks clean

    Wow, lotsa orange peel in the paint finish.

    Was the paint you used a single stage enamel lacquer, or was it a basecoat/clearcoat?

    Either way, you can do a "colorsand" with 1000 grit wet sandpaper and a hard back sanding block. knock down only enough paint to remove the high parts of the orange peel. Then you polish with some 2000 grit wet paper. (remember to keep constant slow flow of water where you are sanding to keep the paper from clogging.) Then you can use some polishing compound like 3M Perfect It III, Then some 3M Swirl Mark Remover, and finally, a good coat of wax. Will shine like a diamond in a goat's ass!!!

    Err, figuratively speaking.... Anyway

    All "automotive" paint guns run on air. At least any that are worth a damn. Wagner power painters are for your house, not a car. HORRIBLE finish and not made for automotive type paints anyway.

    My compressor is a 60 gallon upright, 220 single phase 6.5 HP motor and cast iron pump. This is about the minimum for painting a car, as the paint sprayer eats up ALOT of CFM.

    I use a Snap-On BF700 HVLP Gravity Feed gun, paid a little over $500 for it about eight years ago. Sharpe puts out the same gun but costs less. Mine has a 1.4MM Fluid tip, good for allaround painting.

    DO NOT go cheap on the spraygun and air compressor if you plan to paint your car. That is, if you plan to do it right.
