Anyone have an opinion on the best sprayers? I want to paint my white bumper match blue today, and while I can get a matching color in Duplicor, Rattlecans just don't spray evenly for me.

I figured I'd run up to Sears and see what they have, but thought I'd first ask opinions and for some first hand advice. Best way to get all the curves and little insides even?

Shops want 600 bucks just to do it, and that isn't an option. I hate driving around multi colored.
So I figured Aircraft Stripper, Sanding, a black primer? Or Dark grey?
And I'll head to Wesco for some matching paint I guess.

Thanks for any Sprayer suggestions or other painting tips.:thumb:
 
I couldnt tell you what spray to use, but Sand off all the old paint. Before you prime, make sure the area is absolutely clean and smooth. I would use dark gray primer, let it dry, then apply your paint.
 
With the right prep work you can use just about any type of spray gun and get a decent job. Just put a couple coats (giving plenty of dry time in between) on and if you get some sags you have plenty of paint on it to wet sand smooth. When it comes to putting the clear on same thing goes. A couple coats, wet sand out any imperfections, buff it shiny and you should be good to go.
 
I painting my whole car with Dupri or what ever its called and it is looking great im doing 1 side at a time, i even painted my skirts a different color i will show before and after im done if you want. It takes time. And again my car is white so its easy for the color to match.
