Advice on my first spraying attempt...

[Micromoose]

Thanks everyone, this is all really helpful.

I think from what's been said, I may well get the ANi Compact, but just use it for the top coat. For epoxy I'm torn between rollering and buying a cheaper gun for that purpose.


Which model did you go with? If it'll run on a smaller compressor I'd be interested...


I'll have a look at this one as well. When are you doing the top coat? I'd be interested to see how you get on.


Why is this? Due to pigments settling in the can, or thicknesses of paint layers?

The primer gun is this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fast-Mover...pcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A3QLTTR5CX4IKS Basic and cheap but has done me well.

I've bought Nisocoat 2 as my direct gloss

That's interesting. My main concern with the Nisocoat is that I've heard it flashes off really quickly so I was going to the the opening panels separate to the shell.....

Solid colour, you will likely get away with panelising it. Just use the same number of coats and technique on each panel. Metallic basecoat should be done as a full body spray unless experienced.
