Re: Bodywork tools

I'm using that very same spray gun kit from HF in my build. It does surprisingly well, though it takes a while to get the gun settings dialed in.

I've shot sealer, primer, single stage chassis paint and urethane paint (wheels) with it. It's done pretty well. Just make sure to clean them good, after each use. And after cleaning the gun, parts, and cup/cap, be sure to leave the top off the cup (likes to stick if left on for a few days).

For final bc/cc, I bought an Iwata LPH-400. Too much time, effort, blood, sweat, tears, curse words and mangled fingers/hands to risk it.

On the DA, the air powered ones are real air hogs. I had a Craftsman, but it sucked up too much air and ended up buying a DeWalt electric orbital.
