Well here is the question
Through the months i have seen all these garage painters here. I really want to put on some accessories that i have bought. Im torn between doing this and buying a fixer upper celica. The celica may wait, if i can get a cheap good system, or if I get a job am applying for. here is the question. If i want to: 1. Buy compressor, how many gallons minimum and HP? Sears? 2. Type of gun? Can I use the same gun to paint things around the house? (walls, doors) 3. Paint Supplier? (Home depot, LOL) i dont want to buy online. I have been researching, but all is confusing. What would my best set up will be, granted i cannot buy expensive stuff. I really want to learn to paint cars, so point me in the right direction. I will have more questions, but I would really like to know your set ups at home to do this. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |
