Hey all! I'm new here! :-) I'm Christian, I live in Holland and I love spray painting! I'm actually a pilot by profession (Helichris on YouTube ;-)), but I've been painting as a hobby for over 20 years. Mostly cars (my own, mainly) and aviation parts. I've built my own spray booth at home and recently upgraded my compressor setup with a second-hand rotary screw compressor and refrigerated air dryer (I was lucky enough to buy them from a shop that was closing down). WHAT a difference in air quality!! Absolutely amazing, and probably a bit overkill for a home setup. :-) But hey, why not! I came across Make It Match on YouTube and have already learned so much! I still make mistakes and occasionally ruin little things... but I've already picked up loads of great tips from this community! I love what you've built here Aaron!! and I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can! Here my home setup.

I missed yesterday’s weekly call, but watching and listening to the recording this morning absolutely made my day! After a restless night thanks to stress, I woke up feeling tired and frustrated. The recording turned my mood around completely and had me smiling for hours. I always learn something new from these calls, too! Thanks, Chris, Ron and Aaron, for making my Sunday morning! 😊

Hi all. First painting adventure was about 15 years ago when I bought a classic car stripped it to vare metal and painted it in our garage. Have touched up rock chips on daily driver since in “booth” created in driveway. Now mostly spraying conversion varnish on wood projects, but that is a whole other discussion. Main issue I have now is finding paint to touch up classic car. (1969 Camaro Vert). I used PPG base and clear originally, with cut and buff. Now cant find PPG nearby or online. Anybody with ideas? The base is what I am most worried about matching. 1969 Lemans Blue. Thanks!

Just ordered this to keep on hand when something lands in your clear. This was specifically marketed towards vehicle wrap installers. It has a very fine flexible tip with tiny little barbs all over the sides kinda like a fish hook on steroids. Not a paid endorsement, but I thought it was super cool. Definitely going in my booth cart. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FS5PFBM6
