i think he used the 3000 model wheras im looking at the 1900. it would be for painting the mini too! (hopefully!) it looks a bit like a decorators thing tho!...

They are a decorators tool!

As said people have used them and I guess theyre fine if you dont have the cash for a professional job and are abit of a 'hands on' person.

I would say the finish from the gun is nowhere near as good as a good professional job and will need alot of attention after to make it look spot on, but Im sure if you have the time, very good results could be had!

Yeah, but isnt the 1900 just a smaller/cheaper version of the 3000?!!

as jack marshal said if you got alot of time to polish the whole car a few times and this will take you about 2-3 days you wil get a ok result

have you tried a local college near you they give out really good prices a mate had his mini done in jet black at college for £450 but he did all the repair and we primed,coloured,laquared and polished it just a idea

cheers
