Paint Spraying

[Austin in the Shed]

One thing no one has mentioned is light.l have always preferred to spray outdoors if you can get the right conditions to do it.So easy to get runs in the shadows.
Working inside if you're a diy er is difficult because the build up of fumes,professionals of course have good extraction systems.Outside in the summer it's insects a problem.
As mentioned rather than try and do a whole car if possible break it down to panels if at all possible.
Cellulose is is easier to find than I thought a few years ago but I think easier to apply than synthetic.
2 pack is carsonogenic so worse for your lungs than cellulose.
Paint spraying is a bit like plastering,there's a knack to it but learn by experience.
Years ago I sprayed whole cars on. 3/4 hp compressor ,a pre war Castrol based hybrid and you do learn by experience!
Modern 2 pack shiny finishes look out of place on a prewar car to me and prefer a slightly flatter finish.
