Cool stuff. Do you have a booth?

 

Looks great

 

That does look really good, great job. I will be trying that on mine all in due time...

 

Looks great! I will hopefully be painting mine in the next few months...

 

Did you use urethane-based paint, and if so, did you use external source of air?

 

Good work!

 

Looks great

 

Yes it's base/clear. (2015 Nissan GTR blue paint code RAY). I used a 5hp air compressor

 

Thanks for all the comments

 

Dude that looks fucken great!! wish I could paint........

 

Thank you

 

Wow, that looks great. Nice job.

 

Sorry, I meant to ask about what breathing protection you used; like a respirator mask or full face mask with external air.

 

1/2 face 3M

 

thanks. The only reason I've steered clear of using urethane based paints is that they contain isocyanates that some say aren't removed by 1/2 face masks, as well as eye and skin issues. I have met a guy that paints with urethane paints outdoors with just the 1/2 mask, with no problems. I wonder how many people do that?

 

I have been painting for a living sense 1997. I have had blue test chest x-rays and all by the comp I work for. I get respirator certified yearly. With a fit test. Chromate primer requires a full face.

 

Blood test not blue test lol

 

Thanks for the response. I've finally gotten a spray gun for my 5 hp compressor and sprayed my guitar with lacquer using a 1/2 mask, in the opening of my garage. Worked pretty good except it did irritate my eyes a bit.

Got a 72 el camino that's next, so that's quite a bit larger than the guitar, and am trying to determine which paint to ultimately get once I complete the body work.

 

Valspar is urethane and will hold up good user-friendly and if you mess up will be a decent platform to build over and compared to other automotive paints pretty inexpensive
