Re: Let's see pics of paintjobs done yourself...
I have been painting as a hobby for 15 years. I dont like doing it, But I am picky and dont want to spend the big $$$ to take it someone else. Here are some pics of my 69 swb I just finished.

I painted my Harley (a page back) in my shop in a "booth" like yours, 'cept smaller. I paint cause i still enjoy it, its the body work i hate. I'm gonna do my 70 with semi-gloss black with some metalflake candy flames. It may not be for everyone, but its gonna be unique and stand out like a sore thumb. Bonus is i may sell a few more flame jobs.... Tim

Re: Let's see pics of paintjobs done yourself...
Nice work!!!
What type of gun and compressor are you using in the pic? I want to paint my truck with a hot rod flatz blue steel and I am wondering what would be a good, affordable, combo of spray gun and the what type of compressor(how many gallons etc) do I need to do it myself? Any info would be greatly appreciated.. el_bole |

Re: Let's see pics of paintjobs done yourself...
I did this in my garage with 2 HF guns, 1 for primer/color, the other for clear. I used a high build primer under cheap PPG Omni. Total cost was under $500. I bought pro-grade sandpaper that out performs any thing at HD. I've still got to get the trim installed.

Re: Let's see pics of paintjobs done yourself...
Wow! I would not have thought a garage paint job could be done an turn out so nicely. Very talented painters -- or perhaps very talented sanders/buffers. I am encouraged to give this a try myself when I get to that point.
