Very nice job man.
Be prepared to get a PM from me soon. I want a valve cover, and some misc. stuff done. I wish you were closer, I'd have you do my wheels.

Where did you get the sprayer and paints?

the sprayer and POWDER is from Harbor freight. i stress powder because this stuff is finer then powder sugar. once i get a couple jobs done ill probably be springing for a better sprayer or at least a few more tips. Id like to see some other sprayers people use, but theres only one pc company within an hour of me. hey if u wanna ship it ill tell ya a price lol.

Was going to say powder, but it sounded a little weird.

Can you get any other colors? How much was the spray and powders? This is something I'd like to pick up and play with. I have a bunch of ish that needs to be done.

yep i can get almost any color. Good thing is i can do PC cheaper then most local places, bad thing is im already looking into 800 dollar sprayers lol.

bout 85. its good enough, but for rims and things like that ill have to use a primer and do 2 coats of powder where as with a more high quality gun that may not be the case, and this gun wastes more powder then a better gun would. but ive already found ways to mod it for better flow and ill b gettin a differnt tip for it

sorry fellas no updates, i did a bunch of research today tho! I didnt get back to the house until too late to go get red powder. Tomorrow i hope to have at least one valve cover done silky smooth. Ill also b modding my sprayer tomorrow so that i dont have any more clumping like on the intake cover.
