Tack Cloth, essential prep. | Wax and Grease remover, more essential prep | Bag full of Summit Racing Stickers to cover what I mess up. | |
In-line pressure regulator and disposable dessicant filter. | Paint Strainer, always strain before putting paint in your gun. | Cheap spray guns, HVLP is nice. I actually dig the little detail gun. | |
A little cheap insurance against fish-eyes. Works great except if you dump water or silicone on your surface (ask me how I know). | You must add this to make your paint harden. | Dexter Style paint booth. I positively pressurize the booth with a box fan, blowing through a good furnace filter. Air exits through another filter. | |
Viper Red paint. The closest I will ever get to a viper. | Look at the shine! | Die flies, mwhahaha. I really did not want one doing the back-stroke in my new paint. So I put these up about a week ago. By the way. Flies make little groaning noises when they get trapped. Kinda weird. | |
The booth. | Umm, yeah, I am glad I wore this. | This is a crap photo. The color is off. | |
This is what happens when water drops on your paint as painting. I had a leaky connection before the moisture filter by the gun. Dropped on hood. Then got covered in paint and pushed out by the paint and air. (Place summit sticker here) | |||

Painted!
So, I got the car painted today. I am less happy with these photos than i am the paint. The paint, for my first attempt at painting a car, is not all that bad. I still need to wet sand, that will take care of some of the surface imperfections and paint texture.
