OK cool, if the shocks have good valving it will make all the difference.

What's the plan?

You need to get rich and overhaul the suspension, boating is more fun once the suspension is actually doing shit.

Damn those wheels are lush.

In NZ conditions with regular harder and thinners most likely man, I do an hour and its usually well over 20 when I am painting. The only time I have had reactions is when I paint too fast and there is still thinners in the work.

Yea man if it's cold you should wait way longer, have another cup of tea between coats.

Straight away that looks like you didn't wait long enough? if thats not the problem then your paint system isn't compatible? I have wetted over epotec epoxy (the green one you use) with almost every kind of 2K urethane and base coat with no trouble yet. If you loaded up the thinners to get it to go down smooth it could take ages to gas? I don't really know. I leave like an hour between wet coats these days and I'm in a lusher climate.

Depends where is is? usually the best result is if you clear the whole panel. It is very dependant on the existing paint and how good your match is 10x10 is a pretty big seciton.

I put plastic over everything personally, those big rolls are like $100 and last for ages. A gun with a soft spray pattern makes a big difference.

Yes keep being a nerd, it's great.

This is dope! Those electric rear windows are so lush.

It's not a argument man just shitty yarns, I used to make the back of the wag hop for a laugh in the driveway. It's just full commitment to hopping having a dive tank that's all, seem pretty impractical for normal bag stz.

Yes applying some science here would be good.

Oh yea that's the easy part, obviously divers aren't eating 3000psi air. But the regulator will be one way right? so you need to add check valve & extra tee fitting if you want to use it as steelies suggested? (ie normal bag tank when empty) didn't say it was impossible, just seems extreme on a normally driven road car.

Oh shit I thought you got the 2 pump job, well either your pump is amazing or my 1cfm Viair one was the worst ever. I might have to plumb the one up I have downstairs later and do some testing. You are like the only person I know who is happy with their one pump setup.

I was going to say earlier sheepers setup is a prime example of a good setup. 5 gal and 2 quality pumps.

If the car weighs as much as a crown (merc?) then you probably want more, that first up will trigger the compressor then you can go put the jug on while you wait for more. (wild speculation from my sample size of one car) And sweet Jesus put some thought into isolating the pump, that noise.

I also have no idea what car we are hypothetically talking about.

Hell yes I like burnouts, a dive tank solution seems like building a car that can't do a burnout and adding some NOS or something that can let you do like 2 burnouts then you have to go to a special shop and refill it. I would rather build a car that does skids all the time, I like my car to be self sustainable so if it can do cool shit, it can do that same cool shit 3000km away from my dive tank fill up guy. Yea I know about regulators but I'm sure the system needs more than one regulator to be able to pump it back up and use it as a normal tank? some kind of check valve back into the tank I guess A dive tank is wayy bigger and heavier than a normal 3 gal air tank, probably bigger than a 5gal. They make them with thin walls and even from alloy and in all sorts of shapes, its quite neat, mine was like 1kg. Dive tank is seriously just for hopping and being a wanker and that defeats the whole idea of bags on a old car? low when needed, then normal car everywhere else. Just get juice or a well designed bag system. The 200psi was just banded around by Rookie then Tom. It hurt my feelings.

OK I get you, yea I love these yarns. Its still a stop gap right? who can charge your tank to 3000psi? I dont think your normal valves are going to work on 3000psi so you need to bleed it down to lower pressure then use it? The whole scope of the yarn is rookie is trying to do something with the minimum space possible (hence the 1gal tank) and a dive tank is massive, seems to fly in the face of the original question. Seriously I got by fine with a 5 gal tank and one compressor, but the compressor ran for wayyyyy too long and was fucking annoying. (like stab your eyes out annoying). I figure as I said above that a 5 gal with 2 compressors in a noise isolating enclosure will see you right in about every scenario (I was talking full up from full low, if you need to do this more than once in 5 min you are being a knob, if you are already up and just need to go up a little more this takes much less air) . The only other alternative is to get a engine driven york that has a decent CFM output to make up for a lack of storage. Also seriously 200psi on those normal air-bag compressors is ridiculous, its like exponential time/noise torture once they get over 140-160psi. I have one downstairs, I bet it would take about 20 years to fill a 5gal tank to 200psi.

Dive tank seems like a stop gap? not sure anyone wants to hop? just want to drive to a parkup, lay frame then drive off from full slam without waiting 15min. To do that you have to dimension the system accordingly IMO.

Dive tank sounds heavy. If you want to go up reasonably quickly then to me it seems you just get a 5 gal tank minimum and 2 electric compressors (will still take some time to fill the tank again). That should give you one quick up and then maybe a 5-10min recovery.

I just read you want to run 200psi, good luck on a single electric pump. Once you hit like 140PSI it takes about 8 years to move the pressure up more.

Rookie here's my experience with the crown, it had a 5 gal tank and I would run it up to like 160psi, that was just enough to go up from full drop once. It had one decent sized Viair compressor and it took forever to pump up, you need minimum of 2 electric compressors and a well thought out housing for them, rubber mounted in a enclosure that has ventilation to minimize the god awful noise. Crown weighed maybe 1600-1700kg and needed like 90-100psi in the front and 40-60 in the back at ride height. One compressor and a 1 gal tank sounds like the worst thing ever, you will need to go engine driven with a tank that small.

I read about those for Le Mans cars in Race Car engineering. There is for sure efficiency to be had form that set-up, depends on the goals of the motor though.
