Just got done playing with a harbor freight special
I bought that HVLP gun for 50 bucks. i pulled one of my spare wings (no worries i only buy oem wings from junkyards, no ***** wings) sanded it down. tack-ed it. And then let loose with a orange enamel. Let it flash more coats. etc etc. I let it dry overnight then i wet sanded it with 2k grit. Might i say i will never pay for a paint job ever again. Haha, actually im going to leave this wing out in the elements for about two weeks and see how it fairs but otherwise yeah. Looks mirror finish and bitchin. Anyone ever see tony stewarts car? its THAT color orange

I'd like to see some pics as well. My dad has an HVLP gun and we're thinking about shooting the XR over the summer next year. I'm trying to decide how many coats of base/clear. The paint on it now its getting pretty bad from sitting out all the time.
