I am progressing towards the point of laying down some color on my 914. Going back to its original L96D.
I have shot color in the trunks, and engine bay using a smaller HVLP detail gun with a 1mm tip, and much to my surprise, I had NO metallic runs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Have decided to give painting the whole car a shot. My question is this: Should I stick with the smaller gun and 1mm tip for shooting it? I know i can do a good job with it, but its going to take a lot longer due to its smaller spray pattern width, and small paint cup. I have a larger gun that I have used for primer, its got a 1.4 mm tip. Will the larger tip size have a big effect on the way the metallic goes down? |
