  buy at least a 50ltr compressor, the quality of the gum makes all the diference, warm paint up slightly before spraying, use plenty of tack rags, and dont let paint dry on last cat before laquer coat.
  
  and most important, if doing 2 pack buy the right type of mask equipment.

  ill take that as a good compliment.
  did all myself, was gd fun, 2 hours a day sanding, see profile for stage by stage or visit my site, adress at bottom.
  
  i bought a compressor 3 months ago, and its the first time i have used one. used to have modern modified car i done but got anoyed with new buld quality and the stereo typeing, as most drive like lunatics. and have always liked triumphs, especialy the older style herald, so built myself a workshop and bought one. my favorit is autoelectrics.
