After all the worry and prep there is some paint flying. So far so good. Yesterday afternoon was the epoxy primer. Put on 4 coats and happy with the results on that phase. This afternoon did some detail masking and misc other prep. Tomorrow I do the body color and next day the detail stripe. Making that as typical as I can figure for the early 60 TravelEze.
My first time at real spraying and it turns out to be kinda fun. Let's see how it goes after color. When done, if I can figure out how to post multiple pics (tried in past with out success), I'll put up some.
Used a nice hvlp gun and a 5 hp / 25 gal comp. which seemed perfect for this gun.
Havent totaled cost but paint and additives a little over 500. Plus the gun and attachments at about 200 plus cleaner ($20/ quart!) and lots of expensive tape, paper and plastic.
And time. After all prep and ready to go still looks like a good chunk of 3 days for painting, masking details and clean up.
