i would not mind some more info on this electric gun your going on about guys?

how does it work, do you need a compressor etc???

toby

[mini93]

dont use a compresser or spray gun, you use a roller

[luiji89]

yeah, im guna try... black now tho!!

[Big Man]

dont use a compresser or spray gun, you use a roller

Why?

Whats the pro's and con's of each?

I thought that as already having an Earlex 3000 HVLP that it would be just as easy to spray and maybe get a better finish.

Anybody done both that can comment on finish etc?

Cheers

why...because thats why i made the topic i was asking about rollering because it may well be easier for me given.
1. the space i have to do it in, my garage isnt hugely spacious
2. it has a possibility of leveling minor blemishs on the body
3. its for a rally car there for im not hugely fussed about finish, but of course would be nice if i can make it much nicer looking if i put more effort in.
4. its not overly expensive without having to go about borrowing huge massive compressors and spray equipment (also i dont poison people in the house, it seeps thru the floors)

I know the inverter quite well if thats any use? I could get him to put a post up here with any unanswered questions you have?

Liking the idea that it has the possibility to cover minor blemishes, a Good few coats should have a really good fill

Wont mention spraying again..sorry

haha na yalright, i do however remember reading elsewhere that it can be sprayed, not sure who said it, perhaps a search may reveal, either google or here maybe

[Bungle]

or Bungles camper project

[mini93]

or there sure i assumed you rollerd it, i kinda just look at the pictures rather than read people threads...fail

[Bungle]

bit of both

[mini93]

oh ace, for same amount of effort applied for both is spraying easier to get better results would you say?
then again, iv still got space confinements anyways

[Bungle]

i found i get better results with the roller

i just sprayed the doors because of all the fiddly shapes

[mini93]

fiddly shapes you say, think the roof gutters are going to be fun ha! still tho, going to look better than rust! smint!
