Hey guys-
Ive decided to try and paint my car myself. Yeah, its probably pretty foolish, but its something I want to try, and Im pretty sure I can pull it off.
I will be doing all the primering myself, and I'd like to paint it the evo Titanium Pearl color.
I've got a few questions though...
What size compressor will be larger enough?
And can someone point me to a good spray gun? I'll will be used for primer, base and clear. - not sure fi the Titanium Pearl will make it more difficult to paint, I'd assume it will, right?
I'll be able to make my own spray booth, so Im not to worried about dirt and stuff. Im going to be doing a 2gb Eclipse conversion at the same time, so Im going to paint one of the bumpers first and see if I can pull it off or not.
Any constructive tips or comments are very much appreciated.
I figure this time last year I was having a garage replace my crank pulley, and now Im building an engine to throw into a car, so I know I'm capable of learning how to do this as well.
Thanks guys.
