    Cheap painting kit

    I have seen on here someone said about a cheap painting kit you can buy to use at home, something to do with the compressor only running at like 5 instead of 60? Basically wanted a cheap kit that contains everything I need to paint a few pannels in my garage, I know a few other people have asked this so I am hoping this thread won't benefit just me! Cheers

    Clarke Gravity Fed Pro Spray Gun - PGF14 - Machine Mart What are peoples views on this? If I was to get it what would I also need, I'm guessing a compressor, but what else? Thanks

    Gun, compressor, air filter(stops the water from the compressor messing up your paint! really important if you want a really good finish)
    To be honest you really need to get the prep right for a good finish, don't rush it to get onto the painting it will be worth it.
    If you don't have a compressor it might be cheaper to get the pannels sprayed by a mate but depends how much you need doing and what type of finish you want?
    Out of interest what paint you using?

    That'll be a HVLP (high volume low pressure) system. Don't bother for car panels. OK for fences and garage doors, but not good enough atomisation for car panels.
