Nice posts in this thread silpena. Thanks.

silpena · 12-07-2008, 05:25 PM

no problem glad to help. Now if only i could get my own shop going. Probably wait another 5+ yrs for that.

silpena · 12-07-2008, 05:30 PM

yes on the gun but i would get the starting line becuase i highly doubt u need the stain less internals for waterborne paint. Great gun thought btu for the same price u an get a a primer gun/touch up gun/ bc/cc gun. Unless u plan on painting more cars in the future i get the starting line kit. I'm not too big of a fan on those cups. They discolor and over time when using them for bc/cc.

with the touch up gun u can use it for jambing and tight areas. Believe u will need it.

as for the water separator/oil seperator it will work just make sure to check/replace them often and drain ur compressor alot since its very humid in this time of the year.

worangejuice · 12-08-2008, 02:29 AM

My apt. parking lot sadly does not permit me to do this. I can hardly spray pieces w/o it getting on other cars

Good thread. I would be all over this if so.

liv2drift045 · 12-08-2008, 06:20 AM

the respirator course is online... nko (navy knowledge online)... it may also be on your equivalent airforce training site as well... but don't quote me.

HyperTek · 12-10-2008, 08:36 PM

yokota i like how your car came out.

this pic is from yesterday

i woulda had it sprayed back in march but then my financial situation changed and was no longer a priority.

i got a 21 gal air compressor and a gal of some plc poly primer, i feel like blasting it one of these days to get it a solid grey base..

Money is tight right now, i cant really look at considering painting right now, my friend wants to spray it too. but I also want to take my time to spray it....

sadly i may raise it up a lil bit, i cracked my other fender comin out of my driveway this morning *im fixing it now*
really discourages me from leaving my house having to deal with it lol

I freaking love the look esp with the fiberglass fenders, its just hard to come to the idea of changing it away from what it was set at.

I should have blasted this a few months ago when i still had some money.. even now would be a good time since im unemployed.. I just cant spare a few bucks right now for this.

Matej · 12-17-2008, 11:05 PM

Speaking of rattlecanning, these guys paint a car at the track, haha.

HyperTek · 12-17-2008, 11:12 PM

they probably did it for the video? the car looked good before

HyperTek · 08-21-2009, 08:48 PM

bump this awesome thread
i bought this HF gun on the right thinking i was gonna use it, but i still have access to my friends matco silver eagle hvlp gun so i just grabbed it from him today

the HF gun has a 1.4mm nozzle, and the silver eagle has 1.3mm nozzle.. Ill use the HF gun to spray primer, think the nozzle is too small for primer? I need to throw some primer on some bare metal on my car.

Ill need to pick up some new primer because the stuff i had I sad on it for 3 years and didnt realize it has a shelf life, any one got some recommendations?

I also got a gallon of single stage white im gonna hit it with.

Im no longer employed so figured i could knock this out b4 i get serious again with work.

Kouki_Love · 08-21-2009, 09:13 PM

damn how did i miss this thread.. i hate rattle can... i painted my shell myself in my garage for less that 200 bux.. luckily my friend let me borrow his compressor and i bough the paint.

i had never done any body work in my life.. so it was an interesting experience..

here are some pics.. i still have to wet sand and buff. just waiting for my front to be on... not bad for a first timer imo..

pics..

HyperTek · 08-21-2009, 09:21 PM

dam didnt think about this but the top portion of my car is bare metal clear coated.. im debating which primer to use.. really hating this because im on a no job budget and looking at different primers i may need raise the price up alot just to take care of that bare metal area.. =(

Kouki_Love · 08-21-2009, 09:22 PM

dude your FC is sick man, if i was you i would just get a light primer to get it as close as how it looks now...

HyperTek · 08-21-2009, 09:57 PM

i live i socal, flat black is pretty risky imo. otherwise id be all for some hot rod flatz colors. i bet flat red or yellow would be crazy lol

I need to find out what primer will be ok on this thing.. im gonna wetsand the whole care, and i need to clean up that bare metal area.. what primer can i use for all? Im gonna take teh car body apart so everything will be sprayed in pieces. What would you guys suggest?

KrazyS13 · 08-21-2009, 10:29 PM

This thread has just inspired me to get a compressor/separator setup so I can spray my own shit instead of getting ripped by local body shops! I've got my own garage now so I can throw down!!!

I'm gonna get the same compressor my dad just got, it's a bad [email protected]#%^& and it's not tooo bad $$$ wise.

HyperTek, Sweeet FC man! I love those cars, I miss mine!!

ms!3 · 08-21-2009, 10:42 PM

spray paint can actually turn out pretty decent sometimes.

just have to take your time.

I'm using SPI aka Southern Polyurethanes, since you're in socal you'll have to order it but let me tell you! This stuff is great! and the dude in charge has unmatched customer service. I've pretty much heard nothing but great stuff from this product. There's also a forum dedicated to this product and the people on there are really good help.

If you're sanding to bare metal you could go like how I went, epoxy primer, then 2k high build over that and then paint and clear.

I'm currently finishing up my car, I bought myself a Devilbiss Finish Line kit and I love this thing. I used the HF gun in attempts to just shoot the primer with it but it ended up shooting like crap halfway through the hood so I junked it and just used my Devilbiss.

Rattle Canning is junk, I'm so glad I did more work and went this route. May not be professional work but it still didn't come out that bad.

HyperTek · 08-22-2009, 04:21 AM

nice, well im hopping to get away with just getting 1 primer since again im on a no job budget lol. its just partial area thats bare metal because prior owner decided to do it like that. more of a hassle down the road instead of actually looking cool
