Thanks guys Yeah this is my first go and people are definitely right when they say 95% prep and 5% actual painting cause it is. I invested a bit of money in some equipment my compressor cost me around $600 and guns around $180 and paint so far around $70 that's without colour. I have nearly finished...

I haven't rubbed it all down yet as it is raining, I have the car covered but will be applying the rust remover and wax and grease remover soon as it stops hopefully tomorrow or Sunday. By wiping it down you did mean wiping it down with the wax and grease remover? I have kept all the panels dry and ...

Thanks. I will make sure to put acrylic clear on it then.

Why won't a 1.4mm tip work for acrylic?
I have had some people tell em it will.

Thanks
Clayton

Hey Dave I will go and see if I can get some other tip sizes for the gun. The fast fit connector is the one that connects the compressor to the hose? If so mine is silver and is bigger than the pipe it connects to and the diameter of the connector is as big as the hose. Definitely will have fun with...

Thanks tubby Thanks a bunch oldn64 for the info and tips. They will help me so much. :thumpsup: The compressor I have was the best I could get as I don't have heaps of money and no 3phase or 15amp power.
