Re: Let's see pics of paintjobs done yourself...

Here is a couple, BUT the HB gun is not exactly what I would suggest using for a decent finish, but it can lay clear down OK in the right conditions. In my defense I have a few cars I have painted under my belt, used quality material (chromabase Dupont) and got it to flow OK. In retrospect a nicer Devilbiss or a similar gun would be a worthwhile investment, and the final finish would have come out nicer.

I am in the middle of a complete on my son's 61 Continental and the HB gun is staying in the cabinet for this one. Primers maybe, topcoats no, the Devilbiss 'plus' is going to be my choice for the job but that is a $300 gun new its not cheap by any means.

Thank you for the props on the truck, lots of sweat went into it
