iv been toying with the idea of spraying my car but after seeing the mess my mate made of his side skirts im so shore its a good idea, for a start the paint is very expensive and you cant really do much practice becouse of the cost
so i was thinking what about using hammerite smooth paint with some thinners and pop it into the spray gun and try that on the car, what do think? |

well there have been a few that say it works well but you have to use hammerite thiners rather than normal ones to make it work |

If you knew what you were doing you wouldn't even bne asking, what sort of gun are you using gravity feed or suction? |

im using a graity feed gun on a 50l compressor
me and my mate tried it on an old wing with some hammerite smooth paint today and the results were ok but not perfect
is there any other paint which is cheaper than 2 pack but will do a good job
thanks |

Not even the best paint will let you do a good job unless you know EXACTLY what you're doin. I wouldn't dream of chancin it meself |
