Thread: Garage Painting for Dummies

Tweet

Steve, I hope to get some information as well with this thread. So thanks for posting.

The last car I Painted in the garage was a 79 Vette in 1990 and a lot has changed since then so I essentially would be starting all over again with primer, paint and the HVL set up. My garage had over spray still lying around when we moved 5 years later.

Not to be a wet blanket Steve, but I think the advice about not trying candy on the first go round is good advice. Even straight bc/cc or single stage is a challenge in a home garage, but candies generally need to be applied in very controlled conditions. Even a booth is no guarantee one will turn out good.

We'll see what some of the paint guys think, but I am betting candy might be too ambitious for the average hobbyist to get good results from, shooting at home.
