Captainkirk's Duster project

Captainkirk said
I haven't thought far enough ahead for the external paint yet. I'm hoping to be able to pay somebody to paint the car this time around, but available cash will dictate that down the line. But the engine bay needs to get shot before the motor goes in, so HF will probably have to do.

Go for it, any cheap gun will work, but you have to use it a few times to get used to the adjustments etc.
This is my engine compartment I painted with a very old Stewart-Warner gun, it was around 30 years old, but I could have got the same results from about any paint gun, as long as the the tip is around a 1.3. The larger the tip, the more orange peel you will have.
Prep is the key to making body work look nice.
