painting tractor tinwork

[Roy Stokes]

Have got a regulater but sounds like I need to get a water trap

Aldi have recently had a water trap/regulator/air tool lubricator on their special buys for the grand total of £14.99, had already got a water trap but bought this and teed of another line for air ratchet/guns and air powered sander, wouldn't want to connect spray gun to that though as it puts a small amount of oil down the line, you could use it without oil though

When you finish spraying put some thinners in the pot then
scrunch a rag over the sprayer nozzle and flush through.

That device needs connecting last in the line.
First tee- off a connection for tyre inflating airline, next one for water-trap/regulator for paint spraying and finally the oiler/water trap/regulator for air tools.

Correct!

Good sunny day and an almost brand new compressor, might be OK without a water trap especially for the grey?
No good going mad buying new kit ..............

the weather is as crucial as anything, i sprayed the 14 outside in june and it looks perfect, the 13 got sprayed late september/early october and you can see the difference

warming the paint up also helps, and old electric tea urn is ideal, just warms the paint up and makes it adhere better to cold metal, it needs less thinners and also means its less likely to get runs in it!!

40 - 60 PSI for spraying ...............

Are you spraying from 10 feet away I run at 15psi

I had my first go at spraying last year I'm restoring a fowler vf it's enjoyable is spraying when you see the end job

Best money you will spend is on this dvd if you not done any before

 

[Ditch clipper]

tilt compressor towards the bung on the ass of it and drain it. Air regulator a must though. And let the primer dry well for a few days before you start your colour. I learned the hard way that unless it's very warm in the shed the primer can shrink under your final coats if it's sprayed prematurely!

that sounds like a good investment

Spray the edges and corners of the work first and fill the middle in after and Keep the spray gun moving. Have a go, It's only a Massey after all.!!

but i have all the gadgets, a full pack of wet n dry paper, lots of flap discs, then the good bit, a posh fancy spray gun, part of a fancy air tool kit that cost £20

Sand blasting is better but depends how much you want to spend.
