I have confined myself to rattle-can painting so far - with adequate results after the usual frustrations - but I have 12' of 7.5" FG to cover for my L3 project, so I am considering stepping up to a better system.
My concerns are cost and paint color availability:
I have a cheap compressor similar to this: https://www.harborfreight.com/air-t...hp-125-psi-oil-lube-air-compressor-69667.html . I understand that it is not the best choice, but is there a sprayer/paint combination that it would work with? I -might- consider stepping up to a better compressor, but a 5HP 80 gallon two-stage system is out of my price range.
Also, I am planning on a sport-scale paint job, with 6 or 7 colors including metallic copper and olive drab. Not a problem with rattle-cans, but it seems to rule out Dupli-Color Paint Shop and the like.
So, to you paint gurus, is there a way to make this work short of buying a body shop, or should I stick to the cans?
Thanks!
