kit looks good, only thing is the spray guns you have are mainly used for spot repairs, it will takes ages to do a ful panel or car with one

and why so many cups and strainers?

edit: looks good though mate, nice to see someone having a go. keep it up!

I have fitted it, just got no pics of that yet.

Ok heres the pictures of it fitted.

thats fucking spot on matey how much for u to spray some of my car for me

great stuff mate!

Tack cloths stink tho dont they lol.

Make sure you strip the gun down to component bits to clean it with thinners.

hehe thx, wait untill I spray mine, this wont be anytime soon because of the weather.

Thx for the comments ill let you know if i do anymore.

I'm having a bash at doing this on saturday so if u could pm me a quick little step by step on how u did it and prepped it would be greatly appreciated mate =] if u dont mind :\

Good luck with that man,

I really can't wait untill we get some decent weather and a day off, then I can start on the sides, i have also decided to primer the whole panel instead of the only bit that need it.

how much u paid for the spray gun ??

Well, Like I said its the first time I have used a spray gun so I wouldn't know?

But all I know is, it works lol

So yeah I guess there good

Yeah, good job man! Looks like a professional's done it :p

Thanks, I'm hoping to get the doors and rear quarters done when we get some heat and sun light, the salt on the roads has rusted the previous primering I did.

Primer is porous so shouldn't really be left bare. Normally best to seal it with some other paint, my mate usually goes for matte black as it doubles up as a guide coat that way

yeah i know, but I used Kurust, so I don't understand why it came back? anyways it dont matter I was going to have a sand it down again anyways.

Thats your problem there, every magic rust treatment never works, you might think it has but fact is the rust is still there in the metal so it will keep spreading and bubbling the paint, when i have to repair rust i grind it out of the metal and if i cant grind it out then i just get a replacement panel like i did with my wheel arch

I see.. Ill get the grinder out.
