get your self a little beaver its good value

I must have gone wrong somewhere........mine costs a fortune to keep happy

* having done all that allow 3 for days for drying time then cut it back
with 1000 or 1200 wet and dry, make sure you use water and when you
rub it back dont rub in the same area for to long but also you have to get
rid of the orange peel look on the job after it has dried, keep wiping water
of to see if orange peel look has gone then buff with buffer ofcourse and
use good quality compound, careful ther is a lot shit out ther

Orange peel effect in spraying is an indication of :-
A. Incorrect thinning medium used
B. Wrong pressure to your gun

I cant cover every single thing, well I couldv said go buy a comperesor for $1000 and a gun for $200 and as for Orange peel, dont care how good you are you will always get it. little beaver is low presure which is good for hidepenny

Yeah, adel...while you're here...

HVLP or non-HVLP?

Can you recommend a gun and compressor size that'd do a reasonable job for the budding bush'canic?

I actually need to get myself set up for furniture as well...

thanks for the advice adel and i think i'm a little bit out of league in this painting sense, i mean..........hum....i'm not a down to detail sort of person, so i'm sure i'll stuff it up just like my cooking

but when i have a house later this year, i'll start experimenting that for sure!!!!!!

For the poeple in Brisbane http://www.bn.tafe.qld.gov.au/courses_a ... rseid=2328

I have the tools but I just don't the friking time to prepare the surface! The car just shat itself (and almost got me killed) so if I strip the bike apart I'll have no transport

being a qualified painter i can tell you there is no difference in the techniques used & the results achieved between this & auto spraypainting.
a hvlp set up would be the easiest set up to master for what you want,or a compressor & a GOOD QUALITY gun would be just as good but harder to master.anyway good luck & dont be afraid to ask if you need advice.

Sip brand compresor is not bad thats what I got and had it for years still goin good, a 15 cfm is good for sprayin cars, anythin lower is ok but compresor will struggle and need to give it a rest

Guns = there is Astra, Defynik, star, arnold, and Iwatta thats only some I
can think of but I think most Painters would agree with me this time,
Iwatta is one of the best

hope that helps

As far as furniture sorry cant help there

[Felix]

Thanks adel...

I even have approval from the Ministry of Finance and Spousal Suffering to spend money on this stuff this year...


Possibly because I promised to paint someones bike in their favourite colour

[ProblemChild]

anything you get that is suitable for auto purposes is going to be fine for furniture & yes i do agree with adel on the iwatta gun

[Felix]
