FroznBeavrBALLs Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Im looking to be able to do some automotive painting this summer I want to paint my car and maybe a friend's or 2. And i want to get a paint gun that will be a pretty good quality but not like a ridiculous price. I already have a compressor and hoses and what not so i just need a good gun. Anyone have any suggestions for a decent one? ALso where can i get real automotive paint? I have never looked but do places like Home Depot, or Lowes have automotive paint or do i have to get from somewhere special? Thanks for the help. 2 DC 12" lvl 4s 1 DC 1.2k XS Power S3400 big 3 Alll KNU wire Pioneer HU cheapo Legacy coaxes (just for now) http://www.stevemead...n-sentra-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for guns Iwata,Sata for cheaper end I think 3m still makes a gun that is pretty good not sure of many other that'3 what I used when I was in school for it. As for paint find a local pain supply store will be your best bet imo. Big Wheels Are Like G-Strings...Anyone can put them on but it don't mean they look good.....

alaskanzx5 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 ppg is a good brand from what ive heard, im looking at doing the same and was told by a freind that has 40+ years in autbody repair that most local part stores should seel paint kits that will include all the primer paint and clear you need to paint a whole car/truck. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

Again this probably wont happen until the end of the semester. i just want to learn as much as i can before as to not waist time and money. Cortez (guy on here) actually just recently painted his Mustang and when he saw this thread he texted me about it and gave me some pointers on everything. sounds like its going to be a longer process than i thought it would be. lol... but im up for the challenge. 2 DC 12" lvl 4s 1 DC 1.2k XS Power S3400 big 3 Alll KNU wire Pioneer HU cheapo Legacy coaxes (just for now) http://www.stevemead...n-sentra-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
