Slick cup gun you got. I picked up the Starting Line set from DeVilbliss last year. It was a kit that came with two guns One large gun and a small one. The big one has a 1.5 and 1.8 tips and the small has a 1.3. Covers a nice range for the 120 bucks I paid.

Oh yeah, Nice. You just may beat me and make it in time for the 4th. Good luck. I busted my front glass today so I'm way bummed.

I have no idea what size orifice this one has. It's big thats for sure. I had to turn it way down. That sucks about your Glass. Mine has a big ol round rock chip I think I could seal it and be ok but I do Love having new glass... But I can't believe June is around the corner. I need to get moving on this thing it's getting to be crunch time for sure.

Knowing the orifice size is a big deal. The P sheet that comes with the paint will call out what size it should be sprayed through.

Yeah the windshield went bye bye tonight. I maintained my perfect record of not ever getting one out without just beating it out.

That is looking awesome! The texture looks really cool, if it were gray still it would look cool. Must be nice having a lift to use.

LOL nice, One of my buddies was turning a car in to demolish car and we tried kicking the window out like in the movies... yeah that didn't work at all. It was such a mess by the time we got it out. ridiculous.

Thanks, yeah the lift is a game changer for sure. I'm pretty much spoiled in that department.

So I was going to put the rear end in today but one of the "J nuts is broken and the clip no longer holds the nut in place. So I ordered all 6 of them (as if I had a choice). they go to the front leaf spring pocket. So I ordered radiator support bushings as well... got to love the waiting on the ups guy. I still don't know what I'm going to do for the subframe as far as paint or powder coating goes. I can't get this guy to call me back so I can get a quote.
