I ended up buying the Rupees, Italian brand orbital buffer. I like it a lot, but as stated in the thread, I use the rotary one first. I would like to buy the smaller Rupees when I have extra cash.
...

I like the Rupees 21. I was about to pull the trigger, but thought I would see what others recommended. Thanks

I'm looking for an orbital buffer, that can do as well as my high speed dewalt buffer. Any suggestions out there. Willing to pay for a good one. Not sure of best brands.

I will fix it, not any of those guys out here in the country.

Thanks, it's turning out nice. I was told by a couple people to leave it, but I can't do it lol

Thanks for the advice. I wasn't thinking about over reducing. I plan on just re-clearing the entire hood.

I painted the hood and I noticed a small ding/dent on the back passenger side near the center. I am going to fix it. I painted the frontend and cab together, so that the color would match. The paint...

What are your thoughts on this Air/oil separator? Any good suggestions for a better one, or is this overkill? Thanks for your input
...

I charge by the hour, so there is that lol

I put tons of LED lights in. I probably see too much in the paint that will never show lol I am also a big believer in putting plenty of CC on.

I typically sand with 1200, 1500, then 2000. I go...

Am I the only one who cut and buffs a car, then finds little things they don't like and hit that area again with sandpaper and buff again lol

Yes, it's the original red, but looks more orange in the sun. I used a Sata 2000.

That is a Bronco. It's my buddies, but I have two project ones in my other shop. Hopefully get to them soon.

My friend has owned this 73 since 74. I did the bodywork and paint. About to put it back together next week.

Hey Pete, what other information do you have on this? Brand? I'm going to do a spray out for them probably next week. If I can show them how it looks, maybe it will be good enough. Thanks

That's what I was thinking on the bed and cab. Jam all the panels, hang them and set the bed back a couple feet. I will just have to sand the overspray back off the edge of the panels and then use my...

Excellent Job!

My cousin wants his 55 Ford pickup painted with candy paint. I have personally never shot candy paint and I'm looking for advice. I have read up on it and it seems pretty straight forward, but...

Thanks, I will probably have all sorts of questions once I install the booth.

Last picture. He has already got the single phase converter for the booth and I don't have to pay for shipping. That's an extra $2500 right there. Mine won't have the suppression system or heater. He...

Here is the exact booth he has.

I'm thinking the simi downdraft will be better than what I had. I talked to a guy locally today who has a new booth simi downdraft that's about 5 years old, but never put up. Still in the crates. He...

So I built my last booth and used it for over 20 years. I don't paint a ton, but I do some nicer cars. I moved and built a new 48x72x16 shop. I am looking at putting in a real paint booth. I have...

I'm talking about shooting a 65 Mustang. I've shot enough cars to understand that cars will often have some orange peel, even after sanding and buffing. I'm talking about getting all of the orange...

I notice that on almost all paint jobs there is a little orange peel left. What are common methods to eliminate all of the orange peel?

Thanks for insight.

That's exactly what I did. I will sand the clear tomorrow and shoot color.

I sprayed base/clear on a 32 Ford frame, but I found a light spot that will need more color. Here's my plan, and please correct me if I'm wrong.

I just finished spraying the clear, so I'm going to...

I wouldn't call it high end :) Middle of the road though. I think the 1200 should be OK, but just wanted to see what others thought. Thanks

So I painted my 65 Hipo Mustang a couple weeks ago and it turned out pretty nice, but a couple bugs decided to die on the top just as I finished. I am going to recoat the top of the mustang. I have...

Oh sorry, I hung the frame up and as I was painting it I moved it back and fourth. I shot the sealer first, then moved it back and fourth and did the same with the color and clear. Prior to painting,...

We used nutserts to for the repair.

Thanks for the nice comments. I bought it for myself, but I never planned to keep it when finished. I do construction and this part time, so I was able to put a lot of time into it. I also had my...

I bought this last January and just finished it. It's already headed to a new home. Thought you might like to see a little of the restoration. New front floors, complete new cowl, new drivers side...

I like the second part. I always have trouble with trying to get the right look with gloss reducing agents. I can't seem to get the correct look. I may do a little experimenting.

I have an older 65 Nova and I was thinking about putting a more dull paint job on it, or at least part of it. I know you can buy flat paint, but it's not one of the types of paint I use, so just...

I already painted the engine compartment and the inside of the Bronco.

So usually I install the panels or have them on stands when I paint a lighter color (silver blue), but I'm thinking of painting them separate this time. It's on a 68 Bronco. I'm trying to think of a...

I don't want to go to cheap for a filler primer gun, but then I don't want to go to expensive lol

I will us it to shoot Featherfill

Thanks for any help!

I would like a way to also catch the dust and dirt. Maybe a vacuum system of some type?

I'm planning to build a new shop that will be 48'x72'. the back 30 feet will have a 16' wide paint booth on one side and next to it I want to put a large dust room/ work room with two larger garage...

I'm looking at building a new shop 50x72 and I want to put a paint booth and maybe a dust booth in it.

Has anyone built or bought a dust booth? Maybe one like the link below? ...

I have lost my door handle and window crank removing tool and I need a new one. Any links to one on the site or other sites?

I think it will be another month before I get to this project, but I am totally excited about it. I told myself I would get rid of all other temporary projects besides this one, so that's what I am...

Will using a red scotch bright pad show scratches in single stage paint with four coats? I will use the pads in hard to get jam areas. I also have some softer gray pads if the red ones will show...

Thanks guys.

The interior is red and it goes great with the color. The top will be black. I am taking it down to a guy today to put the headliner in.

It's our car, but will be selling it, to...

Thanks :)

I almost gave up on it today lol I started at 6:45 this morning and finished it at 9:00 tonight. I had a couple down hours in there waiting
for stuff to dry and go over again.
