Yep most people wont come close in a lifetime to what I spray in the average week, And the guns treat me well for a few weeks before they start playing up so you shoudl be fine.
40lt in a day is nothing out of the ordinary around here hehe.
You could paint around 6 or 7 Toranas in a day, that would be like the Holden factory. cool. LOL.

he assured me this gun would do a great job as he has sold them and used them himself with no complaints.
Yep, as long as the gun does a good job for the time-frame you want. Similar to cheapo drills, etc. from Bunnings; I see them tossed out every clean up day, some in perfect working order. People in apartments do a quick reno so buy cheap tools that'll do the job, then throw them away to make room for storage. I guess no point keeping the tools if you're not going to use them again.

I can imagine it would be hard work, but rewarding at the end of the day with a cold Beveridge

It was good weather today on the Gold Coast for painting, this morning was hot and hardly any wind. So i wet down the garage floor and got set up for some painting, using a 2 pak paint and gun that i have never used before except practice panels was a bit stressful, but the end result i am happy with. It will not be any show car but what i am looking for its all good. By the time i finish all the inside areas hopefully i am all trained up for the outside of the car.

Cleaned up the K frame and gave it a hit of sub frame satin black, if i thought i was sick of sanding hi fill primer, i think i am going to get the shits pretty quick with scraping 40 years of grease, dirt and crud off suspension components. Years ago on builds i would of thrown it all back together without a clean or paint just to get it back on the road, i love and appreciate show cars that are as nice underneath as on the top, i wish i had the patience for that, but i will have to do the best i can.

Piss funny that you spray that shit out the front.
Neighbours must be thrilled.
I remember seeing on a forum years back a bloke was building a motor in his lounge room.

I built a 327 in the kitchen of this place I was renting 20 years ago.
Geeze it was a prick getting it out the front door, across the porch and down the stairs....lol
Two blokes and a skateboard... moved many an engine that way!
I've had an entire Torana (well, except for the body shell) in a bedroom, does that count?

Im about to start this stage as well. Looks like a bastard of a job replacing some of those bushes

Posted 12 November 2015 - 08:15 PM
Then time for a bit of paint, i had already put the new bushes and lower ball joints in so i had to tape them up. I wasn't going to paint any of the suspension, but putting in so much time on the engine bay i thought i better keep going.

I notice your lower control arm; where the anti-sway bar pin goes through; the hole is a little bit keyhole shaped where the pin has wore through it.
Are you going to fix that ... and how?
I have a set that are like that as well; one day I'll finally get around to doing the same as yourself.
