60FlatTop Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 You have to be using an HVLP gun. What brand and model?Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacrat Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 thats a tricky question i have a lot of guns being a painter for 40 years,but for my single layer urethane(no clear)witch suits these cars i use a develbiss gti gravity feed with a 1.4 fluid tip.if you rub it out looks like old school lacquer,not a fan of base clear on these cars.

60FlatTop Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I noticed the lack of overspray. It is impressive. After having a new bumper cover for my Impala painted by a professional last summer I abandoned outside bodywork for good. Although it was too cold to get inspired to use them over the winter, I did buy the Devilbiss guns and a suitable air compressor. And I have a 40 year coach. A few weeks and I will be into couple of jobs. Same thoughts here, lacquer or urethane to start. I might give the base coat clear coat a try on my truck for the experience.Oh, yeah, I have a black bumper cover to do, also.Thanks for the reply and reinforcing my plan.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
