    Hot Rod black is sprayed as a single stage enamel, the kit I mentioned above would be perfect for your needs.

    Make sure when you are ready to paint, that you do a series of spray out cards to determine exactly which level of "suede" you are going to end up with. Start with a 4:1 mix, then work your way up to a 1:1 mix, allow each one to dry for a few hours then set them outside and see which one you like best.........

    I have a few Astros, and they do a good job-they are not Iwata quality, but they spray Epoxy and such very well-I have a few EVO 4014 (1.4 tip) and EVO 4018's (1.8 tip)-remember, they are LVLP-

    Due to my circumstances, I wasn't walways able to clean them, so I considered them throw away for a while there and bought a bunch of them (I know, I know ! ). Now, I have one that I really like, it fits me well and I now actually clean it!.

    If you need a 1.8 (EVO 4018), I have a new one in the Box (I already have one out of the Box that I use) and I would make you a killer deal if you a planning to shoot 2K-I buy them from auto body toolmart.

    Anyway, I am not saying they are a LPH400, but the Astro's (in my opinion anyway) are a good gun for the money. If you are going to do a bunch of shooting or really want a good gun, look at the Iwata-
