I'm in the middle of a restoration. My only options for paint are Valspar spray can or enamel, I believe it's acrylic. I guess I could have a urethane mixed, which would be recommended for longevity, wet look after clear, fade resistance, etc from what I understand.
Anyhow, I would like to give spraying it myself a shot. From what I've read, it's not all to terribly difficult, especially after some practice on cardboard.
Then again, that's what I've read on the intarwebs. Does anyone have any personal exp. with shooting HVLP? Is it as easy to pick up with a little practice as I've been lead to believe?
As far as paint goes, any personal recommendations as far as brands, etc go if I were to get a urethane mixed? I'm still a little lost when it comes to what hardner and clear coat get used with what top coat and what primer can be used.
Any recommendations for a gun that isn't going to break the bank? I already have dryers on my compressor, both a refridgerated at the compressor and I usually use inline dessicant's at the tool.
Thoughts?
