Engine bay paint

[untouchablecc]

Well after a 2 days of sanding and priming i finally got down to painting. It was around 19 degrees here last night. I had my trusty torpedo heater but still only heats half the garage. This is my first paint job ever. I have helped my friends with stuff before so its not completely new to me. I have 2 runs and the gun started acting up on me an spraying a bit of water even with the filter on the gun so i had to stop but this is where i am at.

54.99 plus tax for the paint
22.99 for the hardner

I want to wet sand out some of the imperfections and then hit it with a second coat and then some clear.

Hey man just a heads up. The reason why you still got water in the line is because your water seperator doesn't reduce the dew point of the air. Basically that means that your hot compressor is sucking up cold air and its condensating in the air hose. I'm willing to bet that you ran the water seperator right after the pump right? It would get the majority of the water out if you ran the compressor to the longest hose you own then the water seperator and then a short 6 to 10 foot hose. That way the water condensates in the first hose and then runs through the seperator. Other than that awesome job on that paint job! Looks like you really took your time and did it right.
