Coming along nice so far. How you gonna get to the roof? That'll suk a little.

yes, the roof will be a bit of a pain. i will probably just remove the roof rack and then lay up there with my bucket and sand away and i will probably tackle that next. When it comes to spraying, the roof is always the first thing i spray, so the air hose isnt touching anything i just sprayed. Plus it's the least seen area so the quality doesnt have to be immacullate.

Really, nothing i do is EVER perfect, but i get better everytime.

i guarantee this Denali won't be rolling across Barrett-Jackson with an immaculate paint job. But i will get to my goal. When i have a thought.. it HAS to execute

This is not a scene from Pulp Fiction :)

New Gun(s) came in.

I already own a Devilbiss kit. But that kit needs more CFM to spray. This Eastwood Concours Pro is virtually the Only HVLP gun that will spray great at a low CFM. Premeditated research for garage budget painting (compressor/gun).

At 240, I couldn't pull that off! I'd cave that roof in.:D
