Yea stu's on the money with the setup Except it's 400L/min, not CFM. Also 3HP. Would set you back about $600 at the cheapest. Compressor isn't a super high quality one, but does the job, as does the gun. Nice and simple to use, perfect for a DIY'er. Some of the fittings and/or air hose wasn't a perfect fit, so I had air leaks which was annoying, but I work around that.
Paint will need wetsanding to smooth it, and then buffing to make is nice and shiny. Roof and Bonnet aren't the best. I'll see how they come up after wetsanding, but I might give them another coat if I'm not happy with how they turn out. Finish off the gun wasn't the best in some places, but really good in others, go figure. A bit dissapointing, but I'm not a pro, and never claimed it! Got one big run and a few other small ones, they should wetsand out easily enough though [fingers crossed].
After wetsanding, I'm planning on taking it to a detailer [or getting one to come here] to have a mop over the paint and get rid of the small wetsanding abrasions, and give it a decent shine.
And the next time someone tells you that white is great cause it covers up all the imperfections, tell em it's BS! haha. White's just as shiny as any other paint, so don't expect a johnny mayer finish from a mick jagger base! To small extent, it is true though. Very small extent
Hope that answers everything. Anything else, fire away. 6 weeks and counting.
& I'm still on the hunt for the afore mentioned detailer as well,
