What a great product! PART 2
Using the PREVAL system and a three hours of my time...this is what it looks like now. It's beautiful! Thanks for all the words of wisdom from those who responded.

Re: What a great product! PART 2
In one sentence, the Preval Sprayer is a professional grade spray system that is for countless applications, disposable, recyclable, easy to clean and where no compressor is needed.
Got mine at the Home Depot. For this job, I used Eastwood's high temp/ceramic engine paint with a hardener/activator and reduced it slightly for spraying. I have also used it for small parts and other body panel jobs. I understand that there are a number of body/paint shops that still use them for smaller jobs. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: What a great product! PART 2
Thanks, j.kirn!
A lot of sweat/time has gone into this project. I can't wait to get it installed, fired up and broke in next week. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: What a great product! PART 2
Same color as engine. I painted them separately, but will also have the silver painted Chevrolet scripts.

Re: What a great product! PART 2
For those that don't know... The Preval system utilizes small charged canisters to spray paint. You mix your exact paint/color up like a pro would & the canister utilizes compressed gas to apply the paint.
No worries about moisture from compressed air systems w/o dryers or traps & more color choices or the exact color needed vs the limited selection of rattle cans.

Re: What a great product! PART 2
I've used those in the past for little touchups. It works well for small jobs.

Re: What a great product! PART 2

Re: What a great product! PART 2
They work great. Used them a lot in college to fix the uhhmmm "night before" mistakes. A fender, bumper, bed, two doors. Always used my gas cap to color match. We called em piggie backs. Color matching was 95% and great for keeping parental units at bay.
