Thats just it, i paint with rattle cans not paint guns. there is no wax on wax of to painting.

painting is the easiest thing in the world to do and takes such a short time.

all about how u control your flow and move your wrist and have a steady pace.

the hard part is prepping and making sure everything is flawless for paint to be applied too.

I have not used a compressor and a paint gun to paint, which is why i ask cause im going top buy a complete setup, i dont need anything 2 and 300 dollar for a gun cause im not doing the monalisa, im just simply doing a car which can be done perfectly using a spray can so i dont need no fancy gun to paint, whoever thinks that is a ****ing idiot. I will only use it every blue moon so going deep is just non sense.

its better if you quit while your ahead.
you clearly have ZERO knowledge about painting.

any retard car paint and lay paint down with some practise and experience. HOWEVER a gun does matter. we live in the year 2009 where paint isnt such a colour added to a mixture that comes out of a can. there are particles such as metal etc that comes premixed in the paint and the way they sit on the panel matters 100 percent because if they dont sit just right the colour will not match the rest of the car etc...
thats what a painter CANNOT accomplish with any gun no matter how many years he's been doing it. its entirely on the gun and design and the painters skill with the gun to accomplish this.

I think Tight R meant quit while you're behind. You're a idiot bro. Continue rattle canning your cars.

everybody knows fiberglass and bondo dont work on plastic and polyurathane and oem bumpers ****ing retarded, and if it does happen to stick it comes off cracks and flakes easier then it was putting on.


so u go on about telling me about how to paint yet u dont even know how to do body work or prep work.

I LAUGHED SO HARD.
if i ever see u posting again i will be a shamed of you. ESP someone who needs a 500$ paint gun TO BE ABLE TO PAINT GOOD LOILOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO LOL

whats next u need a 5 thousand dollar air compressor too? maybe the AIR PARTICLES WONT FLOW INTO THE GUN RIGHT AND MAKE IT UNEVEN AND THROW UR PAINT OFF MAYBE THEY ADD METAL TO THE AIR LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

u know what else is funny, in ur post your assuming thats the way, your like IT SEEMS LOGICAL, LOL your not even sure of what YOUR saying yet your trying to give someone help?

The more you spend, the better the machining and interchangeability in the fluid-nozzle components and the better the atomization and flow. There are good all-around guns that have a single tip in the 1.7-1.8mm range that can be used to spray primer and a single or dual-stage paint job if cleaned and cared for. There are also kits that include two guns as a set with an extra nozzle to cover larger jobs and heavier paints with a smaller detail gun to hit under the hood, the wheels, and the doorjams. Detail work, custom paints, and a shop that uses high volumes of paints are going to require an expensive gun in the $500-$600 range. These guns are designed to use higher head pressures for better atomization and particle distribution while still keeping the transfer efficiency up.

Try eastwood.com they sell moderately priced guns that will get your job done.

btw, dont come in here being a jerk off when you want help. it really makes you look like an *******. you obviously dont know what you are talking about with painting so dont ask people's advice if youre going to contradict it.

first you wanted the best gun. then you say you can do perfectly fine with a cheap gun? which is it? if your boy paints flawless paint jobs with his $30 gun then go talk to him.

and yes, you can use fiberglass and body filler on oem bumpers. it isnt the best way but it really isnt the wrong way.

Black is one of the more difficult colors to lay down imo. Its all fairly easy.

Since you've never used a gun try to find an extra hood or something. learn how to dial in your gun once you get it. You dont want to be doing that on the car.
