Panel spraying
Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2009 1:22 am
Ive managed to accumulate quite a few spare fairings now and ive pretty much got a full set, so ive been working on repairing the various cracks and broken tabs etc and im planning to spray them up in the original R/W/B scheme.
I was originally going to do them using rattle cans but ive been thinking about getting a spray gun setup. Is the finish going to be all that different or can i sand and polish the rattle can finish to perfection? Im also a bit worried that the paint in the cans is a bit soft/weak and will just get ruined really easily. Also, i seem to go through cans quite fast so would it work out cheaper to get the gun etc in the long run?
Cheers for any help guys,
Matt
P.S. im a do it yourself kinda person so im not going to send them into a shop!
