Mike,
Have you painted w/ Chromabase in a home garage situation? I have only used
lacquer a couple of times years ago and wasn't pleased with my results. I am
now considering trying to paint a car at home again. I have a good
compressor and paint gun, but that's about it. Is it realistic to expect to
be able to do a good job without a professional paint booth & oven?
Thanks for any info,
