Eric,<br><br>
Things have changed a lot since the 80s. Back then many people were
still paiinting <br>
with lacquer or enamel single stage (no clear coat). Now most
people are shoting 2 <br>
stage, base coat, clear coat. <br><br>
I've use the harbor freight HVLP guns paint a couple of cars in the 90s
and 2000s. They<br>
worked well. That being said, a good HVLP system will have an air
source and a heater/dryer in it and are quite expensive.<br><br>
But what I haven't seen anyone address nor you really say what type paint
you were going to use. If you are using any of the epoxy or
polyester paints, BE VERY CAREFUL!!!<br>
The paints have polyisocyanurates to help the paint harden. From
what I've been told <br>
there are a couple of problems with this:<br><br>
1. The polyisocyanurates can be absorbed through your skin, and is
cumulative. Your <br>
body can't flush these out. So be sure to wear gloves when mixing
and handling the <br>
paint. <br><br>
2. Be sure to wear a good mask. You are supposed to wear a positive
pressure mask, that has it's own air supply and is pressurized, like a
CPAP machine, so that you don't get<br>
any of the fume into your lungs.<br><br>
3. Back in the 90s when my boys were in Scouting, I was talking to the
young <br>
scoutmaster, and the subject of painting car/trucks came up. He
told me a story that <br>
about one of his buddies was painting a truck and wasn't wearing a good
mask as they <br>
were painting outside. Well he went to bed that night and the paint
did its job, it <br>
hardened. The boy didn't wake up, his lungs solidified.<br><br>
The moral of the store is: BE VERY CAREFUL AROUND THE NEWER
PAINTS!<br><br>
