having only just started trying this spraypainting gig out - few tips (i'm using acrylic) - not keen on isocyanide and don't have well controlled conditions... 1. mask stuff that needs to be masked. where possible - remove the stuff thats in the way. removing masking is/can be a bitch 2. if you use a heavy sandpaper, make sure u use a hi fill to cover up the scratch marks. basically when you hit it with color, EVERY little scratch shows up! 3. use breathing shit and work in a well ventilated environment 4. don't use cheap thinner 5. have a test board/panel you can spray to "check" the fan of the gun. 6. strain the paint going into the gun. ie: mix it in a container and then use a stocking when you pour the paint into the gun container. 7. like les says, its ALL in the prepwork 8. keep all your equipment WAY clean. have something sharp and tiny (precision screwdriver) in case air vent gets blocked on spray gun. 9. drain compressor and drop water trap on regulator. drain water from air compressor tank. i could go on but i won't. its not too hard of a job, it just takes ALOT of patience and it is ALOT of work BUT its very rewarding : from this : to this [Report message to a moderator]
