Does anyone have this gun? Is it any good? I just got it and haven't had the chance to use it. They advertise it for water but I spray solvent aviation paint.

Hello from the Great North. Iam retired and learned autobody through various You tube channels. I did my first project a 1992 chevy K15, did rust rpairs with pannel glue and replacement panels,so far have had good results. This truck is a two tone, Bahama blue & silver metalic, ground down to bare metal and was my first attempt of painting and believe it turned out OK for a beginner (base coat / clear coat) My second project was a 2003 dodge Ram 2500 4 x 4, Quad Cab, just repaired the box wheel wells with panel glue and replaccement panels. Had some issuies with runs and had to re sand a few times, but final result I am happy as it was single stage silver metalic a very tricky paint to get it to look good. I was cleaning up the frame so I could do some rust prevention and when I wased out the inside of the frame noticed there was no drain in the lowest part of the frame, that is when I seen the spot behind the cab and before the fuel tank the frame had rusted through. I found a frame repair kit from Rust Buster and wondered if any one else has used their kit or had any ideas what is the best rout to repair the frame? Thanks and glade to be a part of the community🙂

So, my big project is to repaint my '64 Ford Ranchero. Currently, it's silver, with a lighter silver for accents. I've decided to repaint it silver, but with black pearl accents instead. The accents will be the hood and side double-dips. My question is on the black pearl. Do I buy pre-pearled black, do I mix in pearl into the black on my own, or do I spray the black, and mix the pearl into the clear? If the last, do I clear over the "pearlized clear?" For anyone asking, yes, I do have to repaint. The clear is destroyed. No, I know, I can't just re-clear.

While I have been working to learn autobody for several year’s now, this work is something I do at home and take great pleasure in doing. Finding a starting point was not easy to do as the pros in my corner of the world act as if this should be a secret with no newcomers allowed, so in-person conversations don’t happen. I am grateful to find forums and site like this to interact with and learn my mistakes from. This ford truck has been my first commitment to a full frame off restoration. This has been a 2-1/2yr endeavor to this point as all the work has been by my hand. If I could not purchase what I needed I fabricated it. I am very proud of this truck but I do realize that because I was so lacking in knowledge this paint job will eventually fail. After some time practicing the Chevy truck was the first time blending the hood into the fender for a color match. The bed was my first bed-liner spray. Thank you for opportunity to learn and a place to communicate with others learning. I am currently working a obs Chevy. I am taking this one to bare steel replacing the rusted areas or sanding out the rust then covering in epoxy for I start any filler work. I’m driven to step up my game on this one and do it properly.
