Hondahunter Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 bump. i know people on here have painted before. i haven't shot with my gun yet, so i'm not going to recommend it. got it on sale for $25 at Sears, so I'm not complaining. was originally $90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnoossss Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 well wat is ur garage if u want a nice clean paint job i recomend having a paint booth but if u dont u can make homemade booths for like 1 times use. but anyway like said above use a gravity fed gun make shure u stay at a consistant speed and how far away u are from the car make shure u have the whole car clean b4 u aint it so that u dont get fisheyes. u can buy fisheye eliminator for that if u still think u might get them.
