Punch-Out!! restoration (Complete!!) - new bezel!
WunderCade:
Nice looking paint job. I've always shied away from oil paints and have never used them through an HVLP sprayer. Did you use the same process as with the GORF blue, but instead used acetone to thin?
And finally, looking at the results on both cabs, can you compare and contrast how you think the oil paint out performs, result-wise.....the water-based paints? Thanks.

Yes, same process but acetone instead of water to thin. Also, it took a lot less to thin it out than the latex paint, so you aren't diluting the color as much.

The oil paint seems to go on smoother than the water based paints. It seems easier to get a perfectly smooth result. That being said, the results with the latex paint was still very good. The Rustoleum black paint seems to be a very good choice for black cabs and I would recommend going with it, however, I think for any other color I would still probably go with a latex paint because it is just so much easier to work with.

Are you in Salt Lake City? I swear I just saw this machine for sale...

Your threads inspired me to buy a compressor yesterday. Planning to do some spray painting for my cabs. Need to get a spray gun like that....

Great Andre...that means you'll be able to sandblast as well. Which is way cool for metal parts...can't beat it.
