I Know SQUAT About Spraying Automotive Paint.

[Dan in Pasadena]

....but, I have a 60 gallon upright compressor, 2-for-$99 HVLPs spray guns - which I assume are little better than a Harbor Freight gun. And I have a cartridge type breathing mask.

So the question is: Should I try spraying epoxy primer (recommended product?) on my entire truck myself? It's in pieces and I am having it blasted by a local blaster recommended by a member here that is also on the tri five car website.

I have very little knowledge, so I'm dangerous! I know to use all products from the same manufacturer, to filter the paint and to use a water separator and another at the gun. Do I want to do this or will I make a mess and waste money and time?

Should I take the blasted pieces to a local painter and have him spray it?
