1. Have you ever sprayed anything?
Weeds
2. Have a go with primer.....
Plan on practicing on scrap, garbage cans, etc. Then test my skills in the vert stab.
3. It's not difficult - if you use a simple 2 part - not 2 pack primer, if it goes wrong, get it off with cellulose.
4. Provided you use an air fed HVLP gun, set at about 40psi from a good sized receiver - say a 30 gallon receiver, you should get good results.
60 gallon compressor in the hangar, check on the gun setup
5. Get an air fed mask, it makes sense. The 2 pack stuff isn't nice, however most of the problems occur when people make their living from spraying rather than the small amounts we do.
6. HVLP makes things so much easier. Less overspray. less paint, easier to lay down a good coat.
