SUP GUYS IVE BEEN READING SOMETIME NOW THE $50 PAINT JOB AND SINCE I HAD TIME THIS 3 DAY WEEKEND I THOUGH I'D GIVE IT A SHOT.. I USED A HVLP SPRAY GUN AND A 33 GALLON COMPRESSOR.. FOR PAINT I DECIDED TO GO WITH A GLOSS WHITE WITH BLUE METALLIC FLAKE AND CHOOSE DO A GLOSS BLACK HOOD, FRONT BUMPER AND PART OF THE TRUNK..
CURRENTLY IM STUCK ON WHAT TO DO NEXT WITH THE WHOLE SANDIND IT DOWN WITH 1000 GRIT THEN 2000 GRIT RIGHT NOW OR WAIT A WEEK OR SO.. I SANDED MY HOOD WITH 1000 GRIT BUT AM NOT SURE IF THAT WAS THE RIGHT MOVE..
*** TIPS ON WHAT TO DO NEXT? *** COMMENTS WOULD BE NICE TOO...
THANKS FOR READING..

 

when u used the 33 gallon compressor how much air did u end up using in the tank. cuz im contenplating on getting a air compressor but dunno if i should get a 30 or 60 gallon tank. ppls say i would needa a 60 gallon if i was to paint a whole car. but what is ur experience?

 

IM NOT TOO SURE HOW MUCH AIR I USED DUE TO THE REASON THE COMPRESSOR KEPT ON TURNING ON, SO IT COULD REFILL ITSELF. WHEN IT TURNED ON IT STILL HAD A LITTLE OVER 100PSI.. THE REGULATOR THAT IN THE COMPRESSOR WAS SET AT ABOUT 90PSI AND I SENT THE HVLP GUN TO ABOUT 50PSI. I DONT REALLY THINK THE SIZE MATTER BECAUSE LIKE I STAYED IT KICKED ON WHEN IT GOT TO A POINT.. A WHILE BACK I CAME ACROSS A FORUM OF A GUY THAT WAS USING A 7 OR 10 GALLON COMPRESSOR TO PAINT VARIOUS CARS.. THE ONLY THING HE SAID IT WOULD LIKE ALWAYS BE ON... SO IT REALLY DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH YOU WANNA SPEND.. I HAD NO PROBLEM AT ALL WHILE SPARYING...

 

Your question should be how many cfm does it push out.

 

That looks really good, esp for a DIY job.

 

Thanks.. Ill be posting up more pictures later when i do some buff and wax...

 

that some baller issshh right there.
