Cool paint

Just repainted my after 15 years to a different color, was white w/ blue stripes and I went with a totally new color a deep red-maroon. Use a new HVLP type gun and was really surprised how little overspray there was, you can really see the paint going on.
Did not use a clear coat, so just color sand and buff out. Came out really good. Total cost for primer sealer and reducers and hardner and a gallon of color w/ reducer and hardners along w/ sand paper, this is a acrylic enamel was just over $400.00. At my age of 65 it was a little work but I feel the love of doing things myself was worth it, plus I wanted to try the HVLP gun out. Any one planning on painting should only use the HVLP gun the only way to go. You do need a fairly big compressor for HVLP uses a lot of CFM's.
