Yes that’s correct and I also forgot to mention set air line pressures - say running 60psi stepped down to 25 at the gun is less ideal than starting with 60 at the compressor, 40 at the in line regulator and 25ish at the gun regulator. I can’t remember exact science but it helps keep air delivery even. Etc

I have no experience with iwata guns @lowlancer but probably lots on YouTube about that specific gun if you’re painting a whole car then 50l is suboptimal; you will be running around 20-27psi so you shouldn’t run out of air but the compressor will get hot and you will get moisture in your lines. In between coats drain your water traps. It may get so bad that you have to drain in between panels… it can be done but if budget allows get a second tank to go with… I find rubber hose to be better than the plastic-material hose, and you also want a wall mounted filter and one at the gun end at a minimum. After about 2-3m of line from the compressor fit your filter. I think I use 1/4” line too. I haven’t really liked my SCA filters I got filters from spraygunsdirect.co.uk hose from tool industrial and nitto fittings from SCA.

I Haven’t done anything in just over three months to the Corolla, I’ve been busy trying to save and set up my own business and that’s left little for car stuff. Subaru is gone and I’ve got a new $900 daily, lol but I’ve decided to press on with the air box, there’s layers and layers of bog in it. It’ll serve as a mould for a two piece wet lay carbon fibre air box. hopefully it helps with air temps. And more powaaaah but that’s wishful thinking. I’ve driven it a few times and noticed the battery dash light flashing, it happens with another battery too and it happens at random. Somethings up with my alternator and I’ll have to pull it off. This is probably not because of my aliex ground wire kit, as it happened prior to fitting that too. it’s also got what I think is leaking valve stem seals. https://i.imgur.com/xDisLhp.mp4 got it to disappear, but its probably worth me still replacing the valve stem seals anyway; it burns oil, blows blue smoke, and oil in the combustion chamber isn’t good for making power. and the heads got to come off anyway so I can go to town on the heavily shrouded combustion chambers. May as well while I’m here etc.

I didn’t want to say earlier because I’m not a spark plug whizz, but I’ve been told before copper plugs aren’t as great as platinum/iridium plugs when it comes to COP/CP ignition. I’m not sure exactly why. You may get better results from experimenting with iridium plugs of a different heat range.

I’ve found the rustoleum 2x coat stuff to be pretty good from Bunnings and pretty cheap as well.

They’re still on the car, sweet will be super gentle. rip tyre

What a cesspit that instagram comment section is. Go ctrl+c and ctrl+v ya “build” ya cunts

Thread dredge incoming wats the best way to mill down a hub? If one doesn’t have a mill, but only an angle grinder and other tools, pay somebody else? Wheels have a CB bore of 56.1mm, hubs are 56.5mm. .4mm shouldn’t matter too much?

Usually cavity wax is the way, and is enough. A good brand with a good gun like wurth or 3m is the way to go. You could use weld thru primer for the back of the patch.

@kws maybe try this https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/gasmate-multi-purpose-blow-torch/p/387804?store=88&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw99e4BhDiARIsAISE7P_ISar7sPpxDHBRl2oWzwWwEeZWgfqWV0AzmjvhIZL-6TDz-3ntjB4aAoWZEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds and a bottle of butane a lot of heat, followed by crc and your slide hammer should work

What’s involved with converting AC from r12 to hfc 134a? Is it quite pricey?

What’s your budget like? I am not the most experienced painter so can’t say too much but I use a Devilbiss GTI pro lite which is a pretty expensive entry level gun. It’s really good, forgiving and easy to use. The fan can open up really well too. The Gunman does a few reviews On guns you can buy on YouTube, he’s pretty good. Also recommend Pete’s Hobbies channel for recommendations on the aliex guns. tldr; devilbiss if you have the money, ANI/aliex if you are on a tight budget.

Applies to farming too, if that’s considered a trade I drive a bit out in lifestyle block new areas, so many gates left open, wandering lambs, toy dogs etc on the road. Nice decorative fences that don’t keep livestock in.

Use a different gun for primer, usually something with a 1.6-2.0 tip. I can’t recommend any of the cheap local options as I haven’t used them but do use an ANI from spraygunsdirect.co.uk. Think it was less than $60. You could use the same gun and tip but why would you, you want thick wet coats and primer is rough on spray guns Use a decent 2k primer.. and give each coat enough time to flash off, don’t rush it.

Do you guys think that DIY rubber and silicon hoses are going to be possible=hobbyist affordable in the near future?
