Hi Chris
I’ve sprayed three A7s using a 50ltr compressor. I got lots of good advice from a paint supplier (Border Automotive in Shrewsbury) but I guess there will be suppliers nearer you.
I think the best possible advice is ‘preparation’. Every hour you put in to preparing the job will reap rewards. I split the job up into as many small parts as possible; wings, bonnet, doors and found using a small gun was better than a big one. Lots of thin coats rather than one thick coat and be prepared to flat back and start again.
Also remember a good mask and that the overspray will go everywhere. If possible deck out your spray area with plastic dust sheets. Oh and don’t try to spray when the temperature is less than 10 degrees and preferably when it’s more than 15!
Good luck!
Cheers
Howard
