Hey Dave,


Are you painting your own car? I would love to paint my own but don't have a space to do it right now. I've painted 3 of my previous cars including this one.
Gotta get to work.
Later,
Randy

I'm painting my own car using a custom mixed bronze DuPont Chroma Base over Southern Polyurethane(SPI) epoxy and high fill 2K primers as needed (most of the car). I'll then be using the SPI Universal clear coat as my top coat. When I started getting 12 to 15,000 dollar estimates to do the paint on a roadster no less, I bit the bullet, bought the paint and a couple of new HVLP guns - a Devillbiss FL3 with all the tips and an Iwata LPH400 and a supplied air system. I'll sell the air system and the Iwata gun after the painting is done and hope that the Devillbiss will cover anything later. I have done many cars in the past but had not used the new generation of paints so have been on a vertical learning curve with this project. Now if the weather will ever cooperate, I'll get it painted, together and running this summer. These are some of the primed pieces:
