Default My first spray!

Didn't turn out that well, was rushed and realized afterwards that I was using a TOUCH UP hvlp with a 1.0mm tip! Arg! Oh well, at least my bumper is red. Now to get rid of this orange peel...

Leave the orange peel on it doubles as a chip resistance surface.

It actually should of came out good. I use my Sata minjet all the time on bumpers and other small parts. I actually prefer to use it over my Satajet 3000. I actually painted my brother enginebay with it last week.
