another reason why i wnated tpo pay someone who alreayd had the shit, got quite a good compressor, don't have a filter or good gun, fuck, people stop telling me to do it myself, i want someone who has alkl the stuff and i can give money to paint my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you have the stuff julzy, and you can do a good job, $800? includes a bit of prep, doing bonnet and shit cause it hasn't been prepped, how much should i be lookin at spending?
Did you try Hi Gloss panels in Knoxfield, Awsome painter. Has done everything from full respray $30k(street machine cover car) to HQ race car for $1k.

good compressor needed
Air filter? you mean respirator?
proper gun is not required, most of the features on a $350 gun an amateur would never figure out how to use anyway, my old man had painted cars with Garage sale $5 bargains and has had them come up pretty bloody good, your average $100 gun would be more than enough for a beginner...
I might be able to rent you a spray gun, but being my old mans gear I better ask him first, and it wont be the $5 spray gun either
and before you ask he doesn't do back yarders anymore, he reckons being a perfectionist and spending hours sometimes days on a car for a slab or a couple a hundred bucks doesn't really pay off
no dont mean respirator,
when your using compressed air a fine amount of water comes out, water on your pretty new paint.
Having this filter in the airline takes any extra contaminents out.
you can buy Compressor air dryers/filters for about $40 at Autobarn, it will last long enough to paint a few cars
blacktop spirit. ask your dad how much he wants. i'm willin to offer more than jsut a few hundred dollars if i get a good bloke. otherwise i might have to boroow that gun off you.(willgive you dosh for rent) and have a crack doin it myself. thanks mate!
blacktop spirit has your dad ever thought of sharing some of the knowledge? i know i wouldn't mind getting some basic tips and other info on painting and i know others would be interested.
I'll ask him if he wants to SR, but I can pretty much tell you the answer, "I'm to old and I don't need the money" he has been painting cars for about 40 years now, it's the only job he has ever done, he doesn't have the patience for teaching people anymore, when ever he talks about the apprentices at work it's always "the young kid at work is just a f**king idiot, he f**ked up again" and so on and so forth...
his problem is if he was to consider it he would want you to bring the car to him, then he would attack it over a weekend and go way over board, he would also want you on standby to go buy anything extra he needed, and then he would crack the sads that he did to much work for not enough money...
he really is just a grumpy old man
I'll let you know the verdict when I see him next
