Yes, I know it's far from ideal, but I'm retired and on a limited fixed income, so that's that.
I have a month before I give it a go, have watched every available youtube video on the subject and now looking for any available advice there is.(other than "don't do it )
Ordered this gun as it claims to work well with oil based paint.
Was figuring something in a fine rustoleum or the like.
Primer first..??
Clear coat on top..??
Better paint choices..??
Am I even asking the right questions..??
Thanks in advance...

Textured, is that what I've heard referred to "orange peel"...?? My issue is cost, and from what I understand to do a job with a compressor I need at the very least a 20 gallon compressor and a gun that can be quite pricey too. This of course is the crux of the matter. I would of course prefer not to have this orange peel effect I've heard about. |

The doors have a textured finish so much easier to paint,body panels that are dead flat are much harder and need the right equipment. Save your money. |
As for materials, you will regret going cheap as they will not hold up long.

Ugghhhh.... that is just about the most primative turbine sprayer I have ever seen. There is a good reason it has an 8 foot long air hose....that's because the turbine in that housing can't support anymore than 8 foot and still keep a 2 to 4 psi cap pressure going without overheating. Good turbine systems support a minimum of 25 feet of hose. Our pro duty ones can handle 75 to 100 feet and can still push 10 psi at the cap.
Stain a fence?....that's your boy.....paint some lawn furniture, yep, can do. Dragging that thing around doing a whole car?....nope, can't see it. You might do a fender, a door, a panel and get by....oh, and orange peel, with an enamel, get ready for buckets of it..... A Shop-Vac, using it's output, would run rings around that thing..... Metal, wood, fiberglass, we work it all... www.furniturephysicians.com We can restore the irreplaceable!
