Does anybody have any thoughts on a compressor that will run a DV1 base coat and DV1 clear coat guns? I just purchased both of them, and my compressor won’t handle them, so I was maybe wondering if somebody had some suggestions thanks for your time

Just ordered this to keep on hand when something lands in your clear. This was specifically marketed towards vehicle wrap installers. It has a very fine flexible tip with tiny little barbs all over the sides kinda like a fish hook on steroids. Not a paid endorsement, but I thought it was super cool. Definitely going in my booth cart. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FS5PFBM6

Just left on my two- or three-day trip to pick up the used paint booth setup I purchased in June. My first stop is in 300 miles to pick up a secondhand refrigerated air dryer. Then I’ll continue another couple of hours to the small town where the pile of equipment is. It will be a long day because vans with trailers are limited to 50 mph in Finland.

Hey, I hope everyone is having a fantastic Monday. I just finished the module on setup, and I understand and appreciate that most of the result comes down to your environment and setup, and that outside is really just for practice. I live in an apartment, so outside is pretty much my only option right now. What do you think of the mobile business model? Do you think it could bring good results on smaller areas and SMART jobs, assuming enough experience and controlling the surroundings as best as possible or if at all possible (blocking wind and contaminants, keeping an eye out for weather/time of day, temperature, humidity, and so on)? And if ya’ll think it's possible, does anyone have any advice on how to go about it? Thank you.

Monday, I finished scuffing the tailgate, and yesterday, I was able to mask off the FORD letters so that I can paint the them and bury it under the clearcoat. I sprayed the letters with a couple light coats of Wimbledon White and then a couple medium coats. After it flashed off, I unmasked it and found a few small areas that bled under the tape edges, and one area where the line was crooked. I was really frustrated, so I got the wife to take a look at it. She suggested sanding. I have to give her credit, it was a great idea. I got my 800 grit on the soft pad from the booth box, and carefully was able to clean up the edges. It only took a few minutes, but I thought it came out really pretty nice. After wiping it down, and tacking it off, I sprayed it with a couple coats of clear. No runs, and only a bit of orange peel. Painting the letters and burying them under the clear was a lot of work, but it looks great and I'm super happy with how it came out.
