I thought 2-pack should only be used with professional breathing equipment? He mentions the 2-pack paint but not the air mask etc....
Great finish tho.

mini-sam, i re-sprayed mine myself, if you want advice, ask the professionals where you're gonna be buying all the gear from. If they're anything like the ones i went to they'll be more than happy to! :angel:

They'll tell you all the right stuff to buy, how to do it properly and how to get the best finish. :angel:

There's probably loads of other guide on t'internet but i'm sure you've looked already! :wink:

2-pack = isocyanate = you either use a full-face mask supplied with positive pressure filtered air from your compressor or get very ill very quickly.

White is hard to spray supposedly, you get it contaminiated and it will change shade.

I redid my white roof and it came out better than my flame red areas.

This maybe because we did it last however so we were slightly more experienced?! still managed to get a big finger print on it tho!

'is it dry yet?!' :angel:

I did flame red and you can see sanding marks through the paint bit of orange peel as well. Flame red's really common as well, be different! :grin:

Go for yellow! No idea what it sprays like but it's my fave mini colour! :angel: :angel:
