Reply to "Repaint questions?"

I painted my car last winter and I think I'm in the same place you are. I track my car alot and drive it to the golf course on saturday and the grocery store on sunday. But I wanted it to look good at the local car shows and oh, I have a thing about doing everything myself. I panited some cars back in the 70's so I figured it would be easy. I would use the same single stage paint that I used back then and all would be good. Well the new HPLV guns are very different than the old syphen guns and it took a little time to get the pressure figured out but it came out good not great but good and doing it myself I'm into it maybe $500.00 and time. I bought the paint from "Paint for Cars" off the internet and I am very happy with the quality and the price. No it's not PPG or Dupont but it's not $1,000.00 a gal either. I used a gravity feed Craftsman gun and it worked great. I rented a booth for a long weekend to spray it in so I didn't blow up my house and after wet sanding and buffing it looks good and I get alot of good comments about the paint. Take your time with the prep and go for it, if you don't like it do it again.
